Unbrowse — Self-Learning API Skill Generator

Unbrowse represents a fascinating meta-tool in the OpenClaw ecosystem: instead of automating via the browser, it learns the underlying APIs from your browser traffic and creates direct API skills.

How It Works

1. Traffic Observation: Watches your browser's network requests as you use a web app

2. API Discovery: Identifies the API endpoints, parameters, and authentication patterns

3. Skill Generation: Automatically creates an OpenClaw skill that calls the API directly

4. Speed Benefit: Direct API calls are 100x faster than browser automation

Why This Matters

Browser automation is fragile — it breaks when websites change their layout. API calls are:

• Much faster (milliseconds vs. seconds)
• More reliable (APIs change less often than UIs)
• More efficient (less compute, less token usage)
• Easier to chain together

Use Cases

• Auto-discover the API behind any web app you use
• Create skills for services that don't have public APIs
• Speed up existing browser-based automations
• Build integrations without reading API documentation

Limitations

• Only works for apps with REST/JSON APIs (most modern web apps)
• Authentication tokens may expire and need refresh logic
• Some APIs have rate limits that differ from browser usage
