# Scrapling Web Scraping — MCP-Native Guidance

> **Guidance Layer + MCP Integration**  
> Use this skill for **strategy and patterns**. For execution, call Scrapling's MCP server via `mcporter`.

## Quick Start (MCP)

### 1. Install Scrapling with MCP support
```bash
pip install scrapling[mcp]
# Or for full features:
pip install scrapling[mcp,playwright]
python -m playwright install chromium
```

### 2. Add to OpenClaw MCP config
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapling": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "scrapling.mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Call via mcporter
```
mcporter call scrapling fetch_page --url "https://example.com"
```

## Execution vs Guidance

| Task | Tool | Example |
|------|------|---------|
| Fetch a page | **mcporter** | `mcporter call scrapling fetch_page --url URL` |
| Extract with CSS | **mcporter** | `mcporter call scrapling css_select --selector ".title::text"` |
| Which fetcher to use? | **This skill** | See "Fetcher Selection Guide" below |
| Anti-bot strategy? | **This skill** | See "Anti-Bot Escalation Ladder" |
| Complex crawl patterns? | **This skill** | See "Spider Recipes" |

## Fetcher Selection Guide

```
┌─────────────────┐     ┌──────────────────┐     ┌──────────────────┐
│   Fetcher       │────▶│ DynamicFetcher   │────▶│ StealthyFetcher  │
│   (HTTP)        │     │ (Browser/JS)     │     │ (Anti-bot)       │
└─────────────────┘     └──────────────────┘     └──────────────────┘
     Fastest              JS-rendered               Cloudflare, 
     Static pages         SPAs, React/Vue          Turnstile, etc.
```

### Decision Tree
1. **Static HTML?** → `Fetcher` (10-100x faster)
2. **Need JS execution?** → `DynamicFetcher`
3. **Getting blocked?** → `StealthyFetcher`
4. **Complex session?** → Use Session variants

### MCP Fetch Modes
- `fetch_page` — HTTP fetcher
- `fetch_dynamic` — Browser-based with Playwright
- `fetch_stealthy` — Anti-bot bypass mode
