## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SCRAPFLY_CAPTURE_SCREENSHOT` | Capture Website Screenshot | Tool to capture a full-page or viewport screenshot of a website. Use when you need to take a screenshot with options like JS rendering, custom resolution, or accessibility testing. Returns the screenshot image directly. Supports vision deficiency simulations and dark mode. |
| `SCRAPFLY_CAPTURE_SCREENSHOT_HEAD` | Capture Screenshot Metadata (HEAD) | Tool to capture screenshot metadata without downloading the image body. Use this for async screenshot workflows where you need the URL to retrieve the image later. Returns the screenshot URL in response, saving bandwidth compared to full screenshot retrieval. |
| `SCRAPFLY_CREATE_CRAWLER` | Create Scrapfly Crawler | Tool to create a new web crawler to recursively crawl an entire website. Returns a crawler UUID for tracking progress. Use when you need to crawl multiple pages from a website with configurable limits and extraction rules. |
| `SCRAPFLY_EXTRACT_DATA` | Extract Structured Data | Tool to extract structured data from HTML or other content using AI models, LLM prompts, or custom templates. Use when you need to parse web pages or documents into structured JSON data. Supports predefined extraction models for common types (articles, products, events) or custom extraction via prompts/templates. |
| `SCRAPFLY_GET_ACCOUNT_INFO` | Get Scrapfly Account Information | Tool to retrieve Scrapfly account information. Use after authenticating to get API credit balance and usage stats. Returns comprehensive account data including subscription plan, usage statistics, billing info, and project settings. |
| `SCRAPFLY_GET_CRAWLER_ARTIFACT` | Get Crawler Artifact | Tool to download crawler artifact files in WARC or HAR format. Use when you need to retrieve the complete crawl results as an archive file. WARC format is recommended for large crawls as it includes gzip compression. |
| `SCRAPFLY_GET_CRAWLER_CONTENTS` | Get Crawler Contents | Tool to retrieve extracted content from crawled pages. Supports multiple output formats including markdown, text, HTML, and JSON. Use when you need to access the actual content extracted during a crawl, with optional filtering by URL and format selection. |
| `SCRAPFLY_GET_CRAWLER_STATUS` | Get Crawler Status | Tool to get the current status of a crawler including progress, pages crawled, and completion state. Use for polling workflow to monitor crawl progress. |
| `SCRAPFLY_GET_CRAWLER_URLS` | Get Crawler URLs | Tool to retrieve the list of discovered and crawled URLs from a crawler. Use when you need to get all URLs found during a crawl or filter by status to analyze failed URLs with error codes. Supports pagination for large result sets. |
| `SCRAPFLY_SCRAPE` | Scrapfly Scrape | Tool to perform a web scraping request. Use when you need to fetch a page with custom configuration like JS rendering, proxies, and extraction. |
| `SCRAPFLY_SCRAPE_POST` | Scrapfly Scrape POST | Tool to scrape web pages using POST method to send data in the request body. Use when you need to scrape endpoints that require POST requests, such as form submissions or APIs that expect data payload. |
| `SCRAPFLY_SCRAPE_WITH_PUT` | Scrape With PUT | Tool to scrape web pages using PUT method with body payload. Use when the target API requires PUT requests with data in the request body. Forwards PUT request with custom body to the target URL. If not specified, content-type defaults to application/x-www-form-urlencoded. |

Install the Composio SDK
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai

```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute Scrapfly Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Scrapfly actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Scrape product prices from amazon.com laptops section'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Scrape product prices from amazon.com laptops section'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Create Tool Router Session

Initialize the Composio client and create a Tool Router session
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

console.log("Creating Tool Router session...");
const { mcp } = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Scrapfly tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Scrape the latest news headlines from bbc.com homepage')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: mcp.url,
    headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key' }
  }
});

const tools = await client.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Scrape the latest news headlines from bbc.com homepage' }],
  stopWhen: stepCountIs( 5 )
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
```
