Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00162 | $0.02348 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00065 | $0.00939 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00470 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00235 |
Grade A, and why
scraperapi-agent-onboarding scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
curl "https://api.scraperapi.com/?api_key=$SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY&url=https://httpbin.org/ip" How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 264 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ScraperAPI — Agent Onboarding
ScraperAPI gives agents and apps reliable access to web data: any URL returned as clean HTML or markdown (with proxy rotation, CAPTCHA bypass, and JS rendering handled automatically), structured JSON from 20+ supported platforms (Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Redfin, Google SERP), and a crawler for multi-page extraction.
This skill is the entry point. Read it once, pick a path, then hand off to the narrower skill that owns that path.
Getting an API key
All paths require a ScraperAPI key. If you don't have one:
- Sign up at https://www.scraperapi.com/ — free trial includes 5,000 credits
- Copy your key from https://dashboard.scraperapi.com/
- Set it in your environment — never hardcode it in code or configs:
# macOS / Linux
export SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY=<your-key>
# Windows PowerShell
$env:SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY = "<your-key>"
# .env file
SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY=...
Verify the key works before doing real work:
curl "https://api.scraperapi.com/?api_key=$SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY&url=https://httpbin.org/ip"
A JSON response with an origin IP confirms the key is valid. A 401 means the key is wrong or
inactive — do not retry with the same key, surface the error.
Choose your path
| Situation | Path |
|---|---|
| LLM agent needs web data during this session | Path A — MCP Server |
| Adding ScraperAPI to app code | Path B — SDK / REST integration |
| Quick request, or environment without Node/Python | Path C — REST API directly |
| Need an API key first | Path D — Auth only (above) |
If your task spans paths, do them in order: get key → MCP or SDK → test one real request before building.
Path A — MCP Server (LLM tool layer)
Use this when the consumer is an LLM agent (Claude Code, custom agent loop) that should call ScraperAPI as tools. The MCP server exposes up to 22 tools — scrape, Google, Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Redfin, and crawler — over a single connection.
Remote server (recommended)
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

scraperapi-agent-onboarding is a skill published in the GitHub repository scraperapi/scraperapi-skills (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 162 tokens to every session and 2,348 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
