What is Aerobase Browser: Automated Flight Search & Check-in?
Aerobase Browser is a specialized automation layer designed to extend the capabilities of travel-focused AI agents. It leverages Playwright-on-CDP and ARIA snapshots to navigate complex travel portals like Google Flights, Kayak, and Skyscanner. This skill is a core component of the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, providing a robust fallback and enrichment mechanism when traditional travel APIs lack sufficient coverage or depth.
The skill is engineered for high-stakes web interactions, incorporating advanced features like a stealth Scrapling service to bypass sophisticated anti-bot systems such as Cloudflare and Akamai. By utilizing both direct and proxy-based browsing contexts, Aerobase Browser ensures reliable data extraction while maintaining strict security protocols, such as refusing to automate payment card entry to remain PCI compliant.
Aerobase Browser: Automated Flight Search & Check-in Use Cases
- Comparing real-time flight prices across multiple aggregators when API results are incomplete.
- Automating the multi-step airline check-in process using passenger confirmation numbers.
- Scraping deal discovery sites like SecretFlying or TheFlightDeal for unlisted travel bargains.
- Verifying flight availability and pricing directly on airline websites for visual comparison.
- Managing airline-direct bookings via VNC for manual payment completion.
How Aerobase Browser: Automated Flight Search & Check-in Works
- The skill first checks the local
~/browser-searches.jsonfile to verify that the daily limit of 10 searches has not been reached. - It selects the appropriate execution context—Direct, Scrapling stealth service, or Residential Proxy—based on the target domain's bot-detection level.
- The browser navigates to the target travel site and captures an ARIA snapshot to map out the page's interactive elements using reference IDs.
- It performs automated interactions such as typing flight details and clicking search buttons, incorporating random delays to mimic human behavior.
- Flight data is extracted and enriched with jetlag scores via a POST request to the scoring API.
- The final data is merged with any existing API results and presented to the user as comprehensive comparison data.
Aerobase Browser: Automated Flight Search & Check-in Setup
To integrate Aerobase Browser into your Openclaw Skills workflow, configure the necessary environment variables for the stealth service:
export SCRAPLING_URL="your_stealth_service_endpoint"
# Ensure the workspace directory is writable for limit tracking
touch ~/browser-searches.json
The skill requires Playwright and a configured Scrapling service to handle advanced anti-bot challenges. Ensure your agent has permission to access these external endpoints.
