# Universal Web Scraper

AI-driven data extraction from 55+ Actors across all major platforms. This skill automatically selects the best Actor for your task.

## Prerequisites

- `APIFY_TOKEN` configured in OpenClaw settings
- Node.js 20.6+
- `mcpc` CLI (auto-installed via skill metadata)

## Input Sanitization Rules

Before substituting any value into a bash command:
- **ACTOR_ID**: Must be either a technical name (`owner/actor-name` — alphanumeric, hyphens, dots, one slash) or a raw ID (exactly 17 alphanumeric characters, e.g., `oeiQgfg5fsmIJB7Cn`). Reject values containing shell metacharacters (`` ; | & $ ` ( ) { } < > ! \n ``).
- **SEARCH_KEYWORDS**: Plain text words only. Reject shell metacharacters.
- **JSON_INPUT**: Must be valid JSON. Must not contain single quotes (use escaped double quotes). Validate structure before use.
- **Output filenames**: Must match `YYYY-MM-DD_descriptive-name.{csv,json}`. No path separators (`/`, `..`), no spaces, no metacharacters.

## Workflow

Copy this checklist and track progress:
