npx skills add tinyfish-io/tinyfish-cookbook --skill use-tinyfish
Use TinyFish for web search, fetching URLs, reading pages, current information, source-backed answers, research, docs, pricing/product pages, extraction, scraping, and browser automation. Use whenever the user asks to search, find, look up, research, compare, get information from the web, summarize a URL, fetch page content, or automate a website.

You have access to the TinyFish CLI (tinyfish) — a suite of web tools you can call from the terminal.
If not installed: npm install -g @tiny-fish/cli
If not authenticated: tinyfish auth login --source openclaw or set TINYFISH_API_KEY env var.
Use TinyFish whenever a request depends on live web information or page content. Do not wait for the user to say "TinyFish" or "scrape".
Strong triggers include:
Default to the lightest tool that can answer:
search, then fetch the best result(s) if more detail is needed.fetch.agent.browser.TinyFish has four tools. Start with the lightest one that can do the job and escalate only when needed.
| Tool | When to use | Speed | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| search | You need to find URLs, current facts, docs, pricing, product details, or a quick source-backed answer | Fastest | Lowest |
| fetch | You have URLs and need clean page content, summaries, article text, docs, product pages, links, or metadata | Fast | Low |
| agent | You need to interact with a page — click, fill forms, navigate, extract structured data from dynamic sites | Slower | Higher |
| browser | Agent isn't enough — you need raw programmatic browser control via CDP | Slowest | Highest |
Research: search → fetch Search for a topic, then fetch the best results to read their full content.
Deep extraction: search → agent Search to find the right site, then use agent to interact with it and extract structured data.
Escalation: fetch → agent Try fetch first. If the page is dynamic/JS-heavy and fetch returns empty or incomplete content, escalate to agent.
Full control: agent → browser If agent can't handle a complex multi-step workflow, spin up a raw browser session and automate it yourself via CDP.
tinyfish search queryWeb search. Returns ranked results with titles, URLs, and snippets.
--location and --language for geo-targeted results--pretty for human-readabletinyfish fetch content getFetch clean, extracted content from one or more URLs. Strips ads, nav, boilerplate — returns just the content.
--format markdown (default) — clean readable text--format json — structured document tree--links — include all extracted links from the page--image-links — include extracted image URLsurl, final_url, title, language, author, published_date, text, latency_mstinyfish agent runRun a browser automation using a natural language goal. The agent opens a real browser, navigates, clicks, fills forms, and extracts data.
| Flag | Purpose |
|---|---|
--url <url> | Target URL (bare hostnames get https:// auto-prepended) |
--sync | Wait for full result without streaming steps |
--async | Submit and return immediately |
--pretty | Human-readable output |
Output: Default streams data: {...} SSE lines. The final result is the event where type == "COMPLETE" and status == "COMPLETED" — the extracted data is in the resultJson field. Read the raw output directly; no script-side parsing is needed.
Always specify the JSON structure you want in the goal:
Parallel extraction — when hitting multiple independent sites, make separate calls. Do NOT combine into one goal.
Good — parallel calls (run simultaneously):
Bad — single combined call:
Managing runs:
Batch operations — submit many runs from a CSV file (url,goal columns):

--url optionally navigates to a page after creationsession_id, cdp_url (WebSocket), and base_urlcdp_url with Playwright, Puppeteer, or any CDP client--pretty for human-readable output.
