## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SCRAPINGANT_EXTRACT_CONTENT_AS_MARKDOWN` | Extract Content as Markdown | This tool extracts content from a given URL and converts it into Markdown format. It is particularly useful for preparing text for Language Learning Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. It supports GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods. |
| `SCRAPINGANT_EXTRACT_DATA_WITH_AI` | Extract Data with AI | This tool allows you to extract structured data from a web page using ScrapingAnt's AI-powered extraction capabilities. You provide a URL and an AI query (prompt) describing what data you want to extract, and the tool returns the extracted data in a structured format. It supports additional parameters for browser rendering, proxies, and cookies to handle dynamic content and localization. |
| `SCRAPINGANT_GET_API_CREDITS_USAGE` | Get API Credits Usage | This tool retrieves the current API credit usage status for the authenticated ScrapingAnt account. It enables users to monitor their consumption of API credits, check their current usage against the subscription limits, and manage their API credits effectively. |
| `SCRAPINGANT_SCRAPE_WEB_PAGE` | Scrape Web Page | This tool scrapes a web page using the ScrapingAnt API. It fetches the HTML content of the specified URL. Users can customize the scraping behavior by enabling a headless browser, using proxies, waiting for specific elements, executing JavaScript, passing cookies, and blocking certain resources. |
| `SCRAPINGANT_SCRAPE_WEBPAGE_POST` | Scrape Webpage via POST | Tool to perform a POST request through ScrapingAnt's proxy to scrape a webpage. Use when you need to scrape pages that require POST method, such as form submissions or APIs that only accept POST requests. Data is forwarded transparently to the target web page. |
| `SCRAPINGANT_SCRAPE_WEBPAGE_PUT` | Scrape Webpage with PUT | Tool to perform a PUT request through ScrapingAnt's proxy to scrape a webpage that requires PUT method. Use when the target webpage requires PUT method for data submission. Data is forwarded transparently to the target web page. |
| `SCRAPINGANT_SCRAPE_WITH_EXTENDED_JSON_OUTPUT` | Scrape with Extended JSON Output | Scrapes a web page and returns comprehensive data including HTML content, plain text, cookies, HTTP headers, XHR/Fetch requests, and iframe content. This tool uses ScrapingAnt's extended endpoint which provides much richer data than standard scraping: - Full HTML and extracted plain text content - All cookies and HTTP response headers from the target page - Captured XHR/Fetch API requests made by the page (useful for finding hidden APIs) - Content from embedded iframes Best used when you need more than just the HTML - such as analyzing cookies, headers, or JavaScript API calls made by a page. For simple HTML scraping, consider using the basic scrape tool instead for lower API credit usage. |

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

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

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```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')
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
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 Scrapingant Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Scrapingant actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Extract all product titles and prices from this Amazon search results page.'
  }]
)
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: 'Extract all product titles and prices from this Amazon search results page.'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK and Claude Agent SDK
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp
```

#### 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 Scrapingant tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Extract content as markdown from https://news.ycombinator.com/')
        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: 'Extract content as markdown from https://news.ycombinator.com/' }],
  stopWhen: stepCountIs( 5 )
});
