About page-collect
page-collect is a skill for extracting structured webpage data and assets with the web CLI. It supports focused collection of metadata, text, forms, videos, social links, and icons, as well as combined collection.
Key features
- 01Collects metadata and structured data
- 02Extracts text, headings, and word counts
- 03Collects forms, video, and social links
- 04Extracts and classifies SVG icons
- 05Runs all collectors together
Use cases
- 01Auditing a website’s metadata and content
- 02Gathering page assets for an Edge Delivery Services migration
- 03Inventorying icons and other webpage resources
Install
Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

Extract structured resources from any webpage with web page collect.
Requirements
Node 22+ and playwright-cli >= 0.1.20 on PATH (playwright-cli --version).
Locate the web CLI once:
# <skill-dir> is the directory containing this SKILL.md
WEB=$(command -v web || echo "node <skill-dir>/../../cli/dist/web.mjs")
then run $WEB …; it prints exactly one JSON document on stdout,
so $WEB … > file.json is safe.
Fallback when published: npx -y @adobe/web-cli. Use an absolute <skill-dir>; don't cd into it.
Sessions. If WEB_SESSION or PLAYWRIGHT_CLI_SESSION is set, do not pass
--session: every web command uses that browser and leaves it open. Otherwise
either run one-shot ($WEB page tree "$URL" opens and closes its own browser) or
start a browser and reuse the generated name:
S=$($WEB browser open "$URL" | jq -r .session) then --session "$S".
Never invent a fixed session name.
When to Use
Migrating pages to Edge Delivery Services, auditing a site, or extracting a page's icons, metadata, or other assets.
Command
$WEB page collect <what> "$URL" [--output <dir>]
$WEB page collect all "$URL" --output ./collected
$WEB page collect metadata --session "$S"
<what> is one of:
| Collector | Purpose | Files under --output |
|---|---|---|
all | Run all collectors | <session>-collect/collection.json, screenshot.jpg, plus the collector files |
icons | SVGs, icon fonts, CSS icons → classified SVGs | <session>-collect/icons/ + icons.json |
metadata | Meta tags, OG, structured data | <session>-collect/metadata.json |
text | Body text, headings, word count | <session>-collect/text.json |
forms | Form structures, fields, actions | <session>-collect/forms.json |
videos | Video embeds, sources | <session>-collect/videos.json |
socials | Social media links | <session>-collect/socials.json |
Default --output is ./.web. Artifacts live in <session>-collect/ with stable names; the
paths are listed in the files field. An unknown <what> exits 2 (USAGE).
Reading the JSON
- One collector:
{ ...collectorFields, files, url, session, durationMs } all:{ url, collectedAt, screenshot?, collectors: {...}, files, session, durationMs }
collection.screenshot is the full path of the screenshot file (not a bare
screenshot.jpg). Per-collector fields, extraction sources and limitations:
references/collectors.md.
Icon Collector Details
The icon collector extracts SVGs from inline <svg> elements, <img> tags with
.svg src or data:image/svg+xml URIs, CSS background-image SVG data URIs,
and SVG <use> sprite references (resolved to standalone SVGs).
| Class | Criteria | Output |
|---|---|---|
icon | ≤ 48px, inside button/link/nav | /icons/{name}.svg |
logo | Brand area, "logo" in class/alt/src | /icons/logo.svg |
image | > 48px, standalone | Excluded |
Icons are named from DOM context (aria-label, class, ID). When no meaningful
name can be derived they get icon-{n} with nameConfidence: "low": review and
rename those. Each SVG is cleaned: XML declarations, comments and metadata
stripped; viewBox ensured and hardcoded width/height removed; fill/stroke
replaced with currentColor (icons only, not logos); whitespace collapsed.
icons.json manifest:
{ "url": "https://example.com",
"icons": [ { "name": "search", "class": "icon", "source": "inline-svg",
"file": "icons/search.svg", "nameConfidence": "high", "context": "header button Search" } ] }
After Running
- Icons: review
icons.json, renamenameConfidence: "low"icons, copy the SVGs to the EDS project's/icons/directory, reference them in content as:iconname:(decorateIcons()inaem.jsrenders them). all: review the collection file for a full resource inventory.
Chaining
- Blocked (exit 3):
browser-probe, then--recipe <recipePath>. - Overlays in the way:
$WEB page overlays --session "$S" --dismissfirst.
Escape hatch
playwright-cli -s <session> … drives the same browser.
