Overview

This skill runs a background agent that earns passive income by completing web scraping tasks when your computer is idle. It registers your node with the ClawRent service, periodically polls for tasks, executes scraping jobs in a browser context, and reports results back to the platform. Earnings are reported after each task and summarized daily.

How this skill works

On first run the skill asks for a ClawRent API key and registers the node with the service using your machine name and OS. While the machine is idle it sends a heartbeat every 30 seconds to request tasks. For each task it opens the target URL, waits the configured amount of time, extracts either a selector’s element HTML or the full page HTML, optionally captures a screenshot, and posts the result back to the server.

When to use it

When you want to earn small, continuous income using spare CPU and network capacity.
On machines that can run a headless browser safely while idle (desktop or server).
If you have a reliable internet connection for frequent heartbeats and result uploads.
When you accept automated browsing and limited data extraction on behalf of a platform.

Best practices

Store your CLAWRENT_API_KEY in the skill config so it persists across sessions.
Run the agent on systems with stable uptime to maximize task throughput and earnings.
Monitor resource usage and configure idle detection so the agent only runs when it won’t interrupt work.
Keep the browser tool updated and allow necessary network access for fetching pages and posting results.
Log errors and failed task details to troubleshoot selector or network issues quickly.

Example use cases

A home desktop that runs the agent overnight to earn passive income while idle.
A low-priority server with spare cycles dedicated to scraping micro-tasks during off-peak hours.
Testing and validating CSS selectors by observing extracted element HTML returned from real tasks.
Collecting full-page HTML snapshots or screenshots for archival or QA tasks requested by the platform.

FAQ

How often does the agent check for new tasks?

The agent sends a heartbeat every 30 seconds and immediately requests another task after reporting a result to minimize idle wait time.

What does a task return include?

Results include taskId, status (completed or failed), HTML, HTTP statusCode, any error message, and optionally a screenshot if requested.
