Crawl the web
with OpenClaw, pay per call.
Enter a URL and fetch the data. Your agents crawl web pages, extract rich metadata, and build datasets — without you managing scraping infrastructure. Billed per call.
Real OpenClaw agents that rely on this tool.
Each pattern below is a single OpenClaw agent with Web Fetch via Locus registered as one tool. The math works because the agent only spends when it actually fetches a page.
Audit and compare pages at scale.
An OpenClaw research agent receives a list of URLs, fetches each page as a tool call, and assembles a metadata audit — titles, descriptions, canonicals, Open Graph tags, heading structure. Per-call billing keeps each audit proportional to the number of pages checked; idle weeks cost zero.
Fetch web context for any query.
An OpenClaw RAG agent receives a question, identifies relevant URLs, fetches each page as a tool call, and injects clean text into the LLM context window. No proxy management, no rendering pipeline — the tool returns embedding-ready text in the same call that fetches the page.
Build LLM training data ethically.
An OpenClaw agent crawls a list of public URLs to build training datasets. robots.txt is respected on every call — data is sourced within the rules the web has set. Clean text output from the tool reduces preprocessing overhead before tokenization.
Track competitor pages for changes.
A scheduled OpenClaw agent fetches competitor pricing pages, documentation, or news sources on a cron and diffs the structured output. The agent only spends when a fetch fires; OpenClaw budget caps keep cost predictable across high-frequency monitoring schedules.
Stop building scrapers into your agent.
Register one tool, connect a wallet, and your OpenClaw agent can fetch any web page on every relevant call. Idle runs cost zero. Scraper migrations cost zero. That's the entire deal.

OpenClaw-specific questions.
If something below doesn't cover your case, ping us — we work directly with OpenClaw builders, no SDR funnel.
How does this register as an OpenClaw tool?
+
It's a standard POST endpoint with a typed body. You register it in OpenClaw the same way you'd register any HTTP tool — endpoint, schema, per-call price. OpenClaw uses the price to enforce budget caps and to show the user what each agent run will cost before it runs.
Does OpenClaw need a scraping account or proxy service?
+
No. The gateway manages rendering, retries, and delivery entirely. OpenClaw pays per call from a wallet you connect — no scraping vendor account is created, and there's no proxy credential to rotate or leak in agent logs.
What happens when an OpenClaw run hits its budget cap mid-crawl?
+
The tool returns whatever page data it has resolved so far and OpenClaw stops issuing new fetch calls. The agent treats this as a normal tool boundary and can ask the user for more budget or hand off the partial dataset.
Does the tool respect robots.txt?
+
Yes, always. Every call checks robots.txt before retrieving the page. If crawling is disallowed, the tool returns a clear error. OpenClaw agents can handle this as a normal tool boundary — skip the URL, log the miss, or surface it to the user.
Can OpenClaw call this concurrently across many agents?
+
Yes. Per-key rate limits apply with concurrency-fair queueing — a high-volume agent never starves another agent on the same key.
Does the tool handle JavaScript-rendered pages?
+
Yes. The gateway renders JavaScript before returning content, so single-page apps and dynamically loaded pages are captured in the same tool call.
