Generic Scrapers
Your agent's plain fetches get blocked or summarized away; this returns the real page as structured data.
Web & Search
Reads and extracts content from web pages you already have a URL for. Give it a URL and get back clean text, a JSON object of specific fields, a list of all pages on the site, or rendered output from pages that need JavaScript or interaction. Use this when you know the page you want; use Web Search when you need to find pages first.
Use when
You have a URL (or a site, or a search query) and need the real page content, specific fields off it, or what a search engine ranks, not a model guess.
Not for
Platform-specific scrapers like LinkedIn, Amazon, or maps reviews (use Site Scrapers), open-web research to find URLs first (use Web Search), pages behind a personal login, or browser-automation scripting.
What you can do
Each is a sub-skill of Generic Scrapers; the router picks the right one for your request.
What you get back
information
Returns page content as Markdown, an extracted JSON object, a list of URLs, or parsed search results, depending on the job.
When it checks with you first
The request gives a URL but it is unclear whether you want the page read, specific fields extracted, or the whole site's URLs listed.
Run it
Skills run through one gateway with your Faro token. Hand it an intent in plain language; Faro routes to the right sub-skill, runs it, and bills per call.
