What is Browser Download?
The Browser Download skill is a powerful extension for AI agents operating within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem. It provides the necessary logic for ADA to navigate web interfaces, identify download triggers, and securely save files to a local environment. This skill is essential for developers building agents that need to collect reports, media, or data exports from sites where direct URL access is not possible.
By utilizing this skill, users can bridge the gap between web browsing and local storage, ensuring that Openclaw Skills can handle the full lifecycle of data acquisition. It supports both standard link-based downloads and complex, event-driven downloads triggered by JavaScript interactions.
Browser Download Use Cases
- Automating the collection of monthly financial reports from banking or SaaS portals.
- Downloading software assets or documentation as part of an automated research workflow.
- Retrieving datasets from web-based dashboards that require element interaction to trigger exports.
- Batch processing file downloads across multiple browser tabs within Openclaw Skills.
How Browser Download Works
- The AI agent analyzes the target webpage using browser snapshot or evaluate to find the specific download element.
- The agent identifies the unique reference ID or CSS selector for the button or link.
- A download command is sent through the openclaw CLI specifying the target tab and the local destination path.
- For complex interfaces, the skill can execute a JavaScript click event to trigger the browser's download prompt.
- The file is automatically routed to the standardized project download directory.
Browser Download Setup
To use this capability within Openclaw Skills, ensure your environment is correctly configured. The openclaw CLI must be installed and the gateway must be running on the designated relayPort (default 18792).
Use the following command structure to execute a download:
openclaw browser --action download --targetId "<TAB_ID>" --ref "<REF_ID>" --path "/mnt/storage/ada_projects/downloads/<FILENAME>"
Browser Download Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes downloaded content into a specific directory structure to ensure data consistency across Openclaw Skills projects.
| Attribute | Specification |
|---|---|
| Primary Storage | /mnt/storage/ada_projects/downloads/ |
| Identification | Uses targetId and ref for precise element targeting |
| Configuration | Managed via openclaw.json relay settings |
Browser Download Advanced Features
- Support for JavaScript evaluation to click buttons inside complex canvas elements or shadow DOMs.
- Seamless integration with existing Openclaw Skills browser sessions for stateful downloads.
- Multi-tab support allowing for concurrent download tasks in different browser contexts.
- Path customization to organize files dynamically based on the AI agent's current project context.
