Felo Web Fetch Skill

When to Use

Trigger this skill when users want to extract or convert webpage content from a URL:

  • Fetch or scrape content from a webpage URL
  • Convert webpage content to html, markdown, or text
  • Extract specific blocks using CSS selector
  • Get article/main text from a link with readability mode
  • Tune extraction behavior with crawl mode (fast/fine)
  • Pass request details such as cookies, user-agent, timeout

Trigger keywords (examples):

  • fetch webpage, scrape URL, fetch page content, web fetch, url to markdown
  • Explicit: /felo-web-fetch, "use felo web fetch", "extract this URL with felo"
  • Same intent in other languages (e.g. 网页抓取, 提取网页内容) also triggers this skill

Do NOT use this skill for:

  • Real-time Q&A search summaries (use felo-search)
  • Slide generation tasks (use felo-slides)
  • Local file parsing in current workspace

Setup

1. Get API key

  1. Visit felo.ai
  2. Open Settings -> API Keys
  3. Create and copy your API key

2. Configure environment variable

Linux/macOS:

export FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Windows PowerShell:

$env:FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

How to Execute

Option A: Use the bundled script or packaged CLI

Script (from repo):

node felo-web-fetch/scripts/run_web_fetch.mjs --url "https://example.com/article" [options]

Packaged CLI (after npm install -g felo-ai): same options, with short forms allowed:

felo web-fetch -u "https://example.com" [options]
# Short forms: -u (url), -f (format), -t (timeout, seconds), -j (json)

Required parameter:

  • --url

Core optional parameters:

  • --output-format html|markdown|text
  • --crawl-mode fast|fine
  • --target-selector "article.main-content"
  • --wait-for-selector ".content-ready"

Other key optional parameters:

  • --cookie "session_id=xxx" (repeatable)
  • --set-cookies-json '[{"name":"sid","value":"xxx","domain":"example.com"}]'
  • --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 ..."
  • --timeout 60 (HTTP request timeout in seconds)
  • --request-timeout-ms 15000 (API payload timeout in ms)
  • --with-readability true
  • --with-links-summary true
  • --with-images-summary true
  • --with-images-readability true
  • --with-images true
  • --with-links true
  • --ignore-empty-text-image true
  • --with-cache false
  • --with-stypes true
  • --json (print full JSON response)

How to write instructions (target_selector + output_format)

When the user wants a specific part of the page or a specific output format, phrase the command like this:

  • Output format: "Fetch as text" / "Get markdown" / "Return html" → use --output-format text, --output-format markdown, or --output-format html.
  • Target one element: "Only the main article" / "Just the content inside #main" / "Fetch only article.main-content" → use --target-selector "article.main" or the selector they give.

Examples:

# Basic: fetch as Markdown
node felo-web-fetch/scripts/run_web_fetch.mjs --url "https://example.com" --output-format markdown

# Article-style with readability
node felo-web-fetch/scripts/run_web_fetch.mjs --url "https://example.com/article" --with-readability true --output-format markdown

# Only the element matching a CSS selector
node felo-web-fetch/scripts/run_web_fetch.mjs --url "https://example.com" --target-selector "article.main" --output-format markdown

# With cookies and custom user-agent
node felo-web-fetch/scripts/run_web_fetch.mjs --url "https://example.com/private" --cookie "session_id=abc123" --with-readability true --json

# Full JSON response
node felo-web-fetch/scripts/run_web_fetch.mjs --url "https://example.com" --output-format text --json

Option B: Call API with curl

curl -X POST "https://openapi.felo.ai/v2/web/extract" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FELO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com", "output_format": "markdown", "with_readability": true}'

Response

Success (200):

{
  "code": 0,
  "message": "success",
  "data": {
    "content": { ... }
  }
}

Fetched content is in data.content; structure depends on output_format.

Error codes

HTTPCodeDescription
400-Parameter validation failed
401INVALID_API_KEYAPI key invalid or revoked
500/502WEB_EXTRACT_FAILEDFetch failed (server or page error)

Output Format

  • Default output is extracted content only (for direct use or piping).
  • If response content is not a string, script prints JSON.
  • Use --json when user needs metadata and full response object.

Error response format:

## Web Fetch Failed
- Message: <error message>
- Suggested Action: verify URL/parameters and retry

Important Notes

  • Always require URL before running.
  • Validate enum values:
    • output_format: html, markdown, text
    • crawl_mode: fast, fine
  • Use --target-selector when users only want a specific part of the page.
  • Use --request-timeout-ms for page rendering/extraction wait, and --timeout for local HTTP timeout.
  • For long articles or slow sites, consider increasing --timeout.
  • API may cache results; use --with-cache false only when fresh content is required.
