ClawHub Skill Scraper

Scrape AI agent skill data from the ClawHub marketplace. Extract skill definitions (SKILL.md), metadata, download stats, install counts, star ratings, changelogs, and author information for 8,000+ skills in the OpenClaw ecosystem.

ClawHub Skill Scraper Features

  • Extracts full SKILL.md content from the OpenClaw GitHub archive
  • Collects marketplace stats: downloads, installs, stars, comments, version count
  • Two modes: metadata-only (fast) or full content with SKILL.md files
  • Handles 8,000+ skills with automatic pagination and rate limiting
  • Merges data from the ClawHub listing API and GitHub raw content
  • Outputs structured JSON with 20+ fields per skill record

Who Uses ClawHub Skill Data?

  • AI tool directories — Index and categorize AI agent skills for discovery platforms
  • Developer analytics — Track skill adoption trends, download velocity, and popularity across the OpenClaw ecosystem
  • Competitive research — Monitor new skill releases, author activity, and marketplace growth
  • Dataset builders — Collect SKILL.md definitions to train or evaluate AI agents on real-world skill specifications
  • Market research — Analyze the AI agent skill marketplace for investment or product positioning

How the ClawHub Scraper Works

  1. List skills — Paginates through the ClawHub listing API to collect skill metadata and marketplace stats
  2. Resolve authors — Fetches owner handles from individual skill detail endpoints
  3. Download SKILL.md — Pulls full skill definitions and package metadata from the OpenClaw GitHub archive

Steps 2 and 3 only run when downloadContent is enabled. With it disabled, the scraper returns metadata only and runs significantly faster.

FAQ

How do I scrape all skills from ClawHub?

Set maxItems to 0 and downloadContent to true. The ClawHub Skill Scraper will paginate through the full marketplace and download SKILL.md content for every skill.

How much does the ClawHub Skill Scraper cost to run?

A full run with content download for all 8,000+ skills uses approximately 256 MB of memory and takes under an hour. Metadata-only mode is significantly faster and cheaper.

What is a SKILL.md file?

SKILL.md is the standard definition file for AI agent skills in the OpenClaw ecosystem. It describes what the skill does, its inputs, outputs, and configuration. The ClawHub Skill Scraper extracts these files directly from the OpenClaw GitHub archive.

Can I scrape ClawHub without downloading SKILL.md content?

Yes. Set downloadContent to false to collect only marketplace metadata (names, stats, tags) without fetching content from GitHub. This mode is much faster and skips the GitHub download phase entirely.
