page-collect

page-collect

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, rename nameConfidence: "low" icons, copy the SVGs to the EDS project's /icons/ directory, reference them in content as :iconname: (decorateIcons() in aem.js renders 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" --dismiss first.

Escape hatch

playwright-cli -s <session> … drives the same browser.
