|
|
|
OpenCLI turns **any website** or **Electron app** into a command-line interface — Bilibili, Zhihu, 小红书, Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube, Antigravity, and [many more](/adapters/) — powered by browser session reuse and AI-native discovery.
|
|
|
|
## Highlights
|
|
|
|
- **Desktop App Control** — Drive Electron apps (Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, etc.) directly from the terminal via CDP.
|
|
- **Browser Automation** — `browser` gives AI agents direct browser control: click, type/fill, extract, screenshot — fully scriptable.
|
|
- **Website → CLI** — Turn any website into a deterministic CLI: 100+ site surfaces are already registered, or author your own with the `opencli-adapter-author` skill.
|
|
- **Account-safe** — Reuses Chrome's logged-in state; your credentials never leave the browser.
|
|
- **AI Agent ready** — `opencli browser *` primitives (`open` / `network` / `state` / `eval` / `init` / `verify`) drive the adapter-authoring loop.
|
|
- **Zero LLM cost** — No tokens consumed at runtime. Run 10,000 times and pay nothing.
|
|
- **Deterministic** — Same command, same output schema, every time. Pipeable, scriptable, CI-friendly.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
### Install via npm
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Basic Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
opencli list # See all commands
|
|
opencli hackernews top --limit 5 # Public API, no browser
|
|
opencli bilibili hot --limit 5 # Browser command
|
|
opencli zhihu hot -f json # JSON output
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Output Formats
|
|
|
|
All built-in commands support `--format` / `-f`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
opencli bilibili hot -f table # Default: rich terminal table
|
|
opencli bilibili hot -f json # JSON (pipe to jq or LLMs)
|
|
opencli bilibili hot -f yaml # YAML (human-readable)
|
|
opencli bilibili hot -f md # Markdown
|
|
opencli bilibili hot -f csv # CSV
|
|
opencli bilibili hot -v # Verbose: show pipeline debug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Tab Completion
|
|
|
|
OpenCLI supports intelligent tab completion to speed up command input:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Add shell completion to your startup config
|
|
echo 'eval "$(opencli completion zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc # Zsh
|
|
echo 'eval "$(opencli completion bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc # Bash
|
|
echo 'opencli completion fish | source' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish # Fish
|
|
|
|
# Restart your shell, then press Tab to complete:
|
|
opencli [Tab] # Complete site names (bilibili, zhihu, twitter...)
|
|
opencli bilibili [Tab] # Complete commands (hot, search, me, download...)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The completion includes:
|
|
- All available sites and adapters
|
|
- Built-in commands (list, validate, verify, browser, doctor, plugin...)
|
|
- Command aliases
|
|
- Real-time updates as you add new adapters
|
|
|
