Open / manage the browser session.

Finds or launches a Chromium on port 9222. Clears old tabs and resets the API pool. Does NOT navigate — use scout_goto() for that.

Returns: Browser session status.

Navigate to a URL and capture API requests.

Starts network monitoring BEFORE navigating (required: listen.start() must precede any action that triggers requests). Returns page text and interactive elements.

Use new_tab=True to open in a new tab while keeping the current page.

Close the browser and clear all captured data.

Kills the Chromium process on port 9222 and resets all state.

Returns: Status message.

List all open browser tabs with CDP short IDs.

Returns: Tab list with short IDs and current marker.

Switch the active tab by CDP short ID (from scout_tabs output).

After switching, scout_goto() targets the new tab.

Close browser tab(s) by CDP short ID and prune their API records.

Supports comma-separated IDs for batch close (e.g. "C724404D,5FD84E84"). Empty = close current tab.

Fetch full page content — scrolls to bottom, dumps innerText + AXTree links, writes to cache file, returns chunked segments.

First call scrolls to bottom and writes a JSON cache file. Subsequent calls with start_index read from cache (no re-scroll).

Take a screenshot of the current page.

List interactive page elements, repeated DOM containers, and common actions.

Scans for clickable buttons, links, inputs and detects repeated container structures (card layouts, list items, etc.).

Returns: Numbered list of interactive elements + DOM containers + Common Actions.

View cookies for the current page.

Execute actions on the page: input, scroll, click, or select.

Two modes:

1. Single step: scout_act("scroll", "bottom") scout_act("input", "python教程", target="搜索") scout_act("click", target="下一页") scout_act("select", "最多播放", target="综合排序")

2. Chain: scout_act(actions=[ {"action": "input", "value": "python教程", "target": "搜索"}, {"action": "scroll", "value": "bottom"}, {"action": "click", "target": "最多播放"}, ])

Each step reports new API method + path inline so AI sees them immediately.

Wait for the user to manually log in via the browser window.

Detects login by polling cookies: if cookie names change or ≥2 values change simultaneously, login is detected. Works across all sites without site-specific logic.

List all captured API endpoints, optionally filtered by keyword.

Show full request and response details for one or more APIs.

Search for data by keyword across ALL captured network data.

Supports comma-separated keywords for OR search.

Search all data sources for keyword, returning field paths and values.

Export one or more captured API data sources.

Export all captured API data sources at once.

One-shot API discovery: open a URL, capture and inspect matching API.

Send a test HTTP request — replay from captured API or fully custom.

Two modes:

1. Replay: index=3, params='{"page":2}' — uses API #3's URL/method/headers.

2. Manual: url="...", method="POST", body="..." — fully custom.

Cookies are auto-synced from the current browser tab.

Comprehensive page data source scanner with two modes.

MODE "all" — full page scan (default):

1. Network APIs — XHR/Fetch requests already captured by the listener

2. SSR Embedded JSON — window.INITIAL_STATE, NEXT_DATA, etc.

3. DOM Containers — repeated HTML structures (card layouts, list items)

MODE "dom" — keyword-targeted DOM scan: Searches DOM for containers matching the keyword.
