Web Fetcher

Smart web content fetcher for Claude Code. Automatically detects platform and uses the best strategy to fetch articles or download videos.

Quick Start

# Fetch an article
python3 {SKILL_DIR}/fetcher.py "URL" -o ~/docs/

# Download a video
python3 {SKILL_DIR}/fetcher.py "https://b23.tv/xxx" -o ~/videos/

# Batch fetch from file
python3 {SKILL_DIR}/fetcher.py --urls-file urls.txt -o ~/docs/

Install Dependencies

Install only what you need — dependencies are checked at runtime:

Dependency	Purpose	Install
scrapling	Article fetching (HTTP + browser)	pip install scrapling
yt-dlp	Video download	pip install yt-dlp
camoufox	Anti-detection browser (Xiaohongshu, Weibo)	pip install camoufox && python3 -m camoufox fetch
html2text	HTML to Markdown conversion	pip install html2text

Smart Routing

The fetcher automatically detects the platform from the URL:

Platform	Method	Notes
mp.weixin.qq.com	scrapling	Extracts data-src images, handles SVG placeholders
*.feishu.cn	Virtual scroll	Collects all blocks via scrolling, downloads images with cookies
zhuanlan.zhihu.com	scrapling	.Post-RichText selector
www.zhihu.com	scrapling	.RichContent selector
www.toutiao.com	scrapling	Handles toutiaoimg.com base64 placeholders
www.xiaohongshu.com	camoufox	Anti-bot protection requires stealth browser
www.weibo.com	camoufox	Anti-bot protection requires stealth browser
bilibili.com / b23.tv	yt-dlp	Video download, supports quality selection
youtube.com / youtu.be	yt-dlp	Video download
douyin.com	yt-dlp	Video download
Unknown URLs	scrapling	Generic fetch with fallback tiers

Platform Notes

WeChat (mp.weixin.qq.com)

• Images use data-src attribute with mmbiz.qpic.cn URLs
• Visible <img> tags contain SVG placeholders (lazy loading)
• Image download requires Referer: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/ header
• Scrapling GET usually works; no browser needed

Feishu (*.feishu.cn)

• Uses virtual scroll — content blocks are rendered on-demand
• The fetcher scrolls through the entire document, collecting [data-block-id] elements
• Images require authenticated fetch (cookies), downloaded via browser's fetch API
• May show "Unable to print" artifacts which are auto-cleaned

Bilibili

• Short links (b23.tv) are auto-resolved
• For premium/member content, use --cookies-browser chrome
• Default quality is 1080p, adjustable with -q

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
scrapling not found	pip install scrapling
yt-dlp not found	pip install yt-dlp
Article content too short	Try --method camoufox for JS-heavy pages
Feishu returns login page	The doc may require authentication
Bilibili 403	Use --cookies-browser chrome
Image download fails	Check network; WeChat images need Referer header (auto-handled)

Manual Usage

When the CLI doesn't fit your needs, use the modules directly:

from lib.router import route, check_dependency
from lib.article import fetch_article
from lib.video import fetch_video
from lib.feishu import fetch_feishu

# Route a URL
r = route("https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxx")
# {'type': 'article', 'method': 'scrapling', 'selector': '#js_content', 'post': 'wx_images'}

# Fetch article
fetch_article(url, output_dir="/tmp/out", route_config=r)

# Download video
fetch_video(url, output_dir="/tmp/out", quality="720")

# Fetch Feishu doc
fetch_feishu(url, output_dir="/tmp/out")
