What is Steel Source Query?
The steel-source-query skill is a specialized professional tool designed for the steel industry, enabling seamless B2B transactions and market analysis. It integrates real-time price scraping from major industry platforms with robust inventory management features, allowing users to publish stock, search for suppliers, and receive automated market reports. This Openclaw Skills component bridges the gap between raw market data and actionable trading intelligence.
Built with a focus on developer flexibility and user experience, the skill supports various input methods including Excel batch imports and intelligent voice-to-text parsing. It provides a structured way to handle complex steel specifications, materials, and regional pricing differences, making it an essential asset for steel traders, procurement officers, and market analysts looking for a data-driven edge.
Steel Source Query Use Cases
- Real-time monitoring of steel prices across different regions and product types.
- Managing local inventory through automated Excel imports and manual voice recording.
- Publishing and searching for steel stock within a B2B sharing platform.
- Generating deep-dive trend analysis and price forecasting for procurement planning.
- Automating daily price briefings and market notifications via scheduled tasks.
How Steel Source Query Works
- The user triggers a request for price data or inventory status through natural language or CLI commands.
- The skill executes specialized Python scripts to scrape data from primary sources like Zhaogang or Mysteel, utilizing an intelligent fallback mechanism for high reliability.
- Data is parsed and validated against a comprehensive taxonomy of steel types (e.g., Rebar, Hot Rolled Coil, Angle Steel) and regional parameters.
- For inventory tasks, the skill interacts with either local JSON storage or cloud-based Feishu Bitable integrations for real-time updates.
- The final output is formatted into user-friendly, structured responses, often including professional emoji indicators and clear action items.
Steel Source Query Setup
First, ensure all Python dependencies are installed for this Openclaw Skills module:
pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
To configure the Feishu Bitable integration for cloud inventory, update the config.template.json with your App Token and Table ID. To set up daily automated price alerts, add a cron job:
# Example: Daily 9:00 AM push
0 9 * * * cd /path/to/skill && python scripts/push_daily.py
