Fetch and parse web page content via the OpenClaw Manager Web Fetch Proxy. The Manager handles API key injection from encrypted storage automatically — no manual key configuration needed.

The proxy URL is configured via the WEB_FETCH_PROXY_URL environment variable (required). If not set, the skill will not be available.

Quick Start

Basic cURL Usage

curl --request POST \
  --url "${WEB_FETCH_PROXY_URL}/" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "url": "https://www.example.com"
  }'

Script Usage

A wrapper shell script is provided for convenience.

# Basic Fetch (returns Markdown by default)
./scripts/proxy_fetch.sh --url "https://www.example.com"
# Fetch as plain text, no cache
./scripts/proxy_fetch.sh \
  --url "https://docs.python.org/3/" \
  --format text \
  --no-cache
# Fetch with image and link summaries
./scripts/proxy_fetch.sh \
  --url "https://news.example.com/article" \
  --images-summary \
  --links-summary
# Fetch without images, disable GFM
./scripts/proxy_fetch.sh \
  --url "https://blog.example.com/post" \
  --no-images \
  --no-gfm

Authentication

No authentication required — the proxy reads API keys internally from the Manager's encrypted secrets store.
