Turn the website into a command-line tool

A GitHub project that turns any website or Electron app into a command-line tool. No API, no crawlers—just reuse Chrome login state.

Yesterday, a project on GitHub caught my interest. Many people say it has completely revolutionized the way Agents acquire data.

And just 2 days after open-sourcing, it has already surpassed 1.8K Stars!

Previously, if we wanted AI to scrape data from a website, we either had to hunt for an official API (many sites don’t have one at all) or write complex crawler scripts (which are also easy to get blocked).

Now this tool completely flips the entire approach: No API needed, no crawlers needed — it directly turns websites into command-line tools!

This project is OpenCLI. Its core idea is incredibly simple yet extremely powerful: since we log into all kinds of websites in the browser every day, why can’t we just reuse that login state so command-line tools can access those sites too?

Once this idea is realized, the possibilities are truly endless.

Even more impressive: OpenCLI now supports not only websites but also Electron apps!
