What This Skill Does

The ScrapeSense Developer skill is a robust, high-performance tool designed for software engineers and automation architects working with the ScrapeSense platform. It provides a structured interface for interacting with the ScrapeSense public API, enabling users to programmatically orchestrate complex Google Maps scraping workflows. This skill covers the entire lifecycle of data acquisition: from initiating scans and monitoring their status to managing extracted place data and handling email campaign hygiene. Beyond simple data collection, it acts as a control plane for your ScrapeSense account, offering endpoints for billing management, API key rotation, and webhook subscription configuration. Whether you are building an automated lead generation pipeline or performing deep analytical research on local business data, this skill ensures that all API interactions follow industry-standard developer guardrails, including built-in email sanitization and payload validation.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the latest version of the ClawHub CLI installed. Execute the following command in your terminal to fetch the package directly from the OpenClaw repository: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/axelschmitz74/scrapesense-developer. Once installed, verify the installation by running the validation script: python3 /usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py <skill-dir>. Ensure your ScrapeSense API key is stored securely in your environment variables before invoking the skill.

Use Cases

• Automated Lead Generation: Programmatically trigger scans for specific business categories and locations, process the raw output, clean contact emails, and launch targeted outreach campaigns.
• Market Analysis: Scale your data research by orchestrating bulk scan operations, using the reliability analytics API to monitor data fidelity, and exporting results for downstream CRM integration.
• Infrastructure Management: Monitor your API billing usage and credit balances, configure webhooks to receive real-time notifications when a scan completes, and manage developer credentials via the API.

Example Prompts

1. "ScrapeSense, start a new scan for 'coffee shops' in 'Austin, TX' and notify me via webhook when the status changes to completed."
2. "Get the current balance of my ScrapeSense credits and list the last 5 transaction IDs from my account billing history."
3. "Prepare the email cleaning preview for campaign ID 98765 and wait for my review before applying the sanitization to the mailing list."

Tips & Limitations

Always check the references/endpoints.md file before crafting custom API calls, as API versions may evolve. When performing large-scale campaigns, ensure you leverage the email cleaning feature to maintain high deliverability rates. Remember that this is a developer-focused tool; avoid using it for non-public API endpoints to ensure compatibility with future updates. Always validate your payload structures before triggering bulk actions to prevent accidental credit consumption.
