~12:06 UTC (7:06 EST) - Discord #general

  • User found new CLI: agent-browser by Vercel Labs
  • Cloned repo: https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser
  • Installed globally via npm: npm install -g agent-browser
  • Installed Chromium browser binary via: agent-browser install
  • Tested basic commands:
    • agent-browser open example.com — opened and loaded page
    • agent-browser snapshot -i — returned interactive elements with refs
    • agent-browser snapshot — full accessibility tree
    • agent-browser close — closed browser
  • Reviewed documentation: README.md, SKILL.md, AGENTS.md, package.json

Tool Learned: agent-browser

What It Is

  • Headless browser automation CLI for AI agents
  • Fast Rust CLI with Node.js daemon (client-daemon architecture)
  • Uses Playwright as browser engine (Chromium by default, supports Firefox/WebKit)
  • Designed specifically for AI agents to interact with web pages

Key Features

1. Ref-Based Navigation (AI-Friendly)

agent-browser snapshot -i    # Returns elements with deterministic refs: @e1, @e2, @e3
agent-browser click @e1         # Use refs to interact (no DOM re-query needed)
  • Why refs: Deterministic, fast, optimal for LLMs

2. Semantic Locators

agent-browser find role button click --name "Submit"
agent-browser find text "Sign In" click
agent-browser find label "Email" fill "test@test.com"
  • By ARIA role, text content, label, placeholder, alt text, data-testid

3. Complete Browser Automation

  • Navigation: open, back, forward, reload
  • Interactions: click, dblclick, type, fill, hover, drag, upload
  • Form handling: check/uncheck, select dropdowns
  • Screenshots: full page or viewport
  • PDF export
  • JavaScript evaluation

4. Advanced Features

  • Sessions: Parallel isolated browser instances
  • State save/load: Save auth state for reuse (skip login flows)
  • Network routing: Intercept/mock requests, block URLs
  • Headers support: HTTP Basic auth, bearer tokens (scoped by origin)
  • Storage management: Cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage
  • Debugging: Traces, console logs, error logs
  • CDP mode: Connect to existing Chrome/Electron apps
  • Streaming: WebSocket-based browser preview for "pair browsing"

5. JSON Output

agent-browser snapshot -i --json    # Machine-readable for agents
agent-browser get text @e1 --json

6. Platform Support

  • Native Rust binaries for: macOS (ARM64/x64), Linux (ARM64/x64), Windows (x64)
  • Falls back to Node.js if native binary unavailable

Installation

npm install -g agent-browser
agent-browser install    # Downloads Chromium

Core Workflow

1. agent-browser open <url>           # Navigate
2. agent-browser snapshot -i            # Get interactive elements + refs
3. agent-browser click @e1 / fill @e2 "text"   # Interact using refs
4. Re-snapshot after page changes
5. agent-browser close                   # Done

Comparison to Puppeteer (Current Reonomy Scraper)

Aspect Puppeteer agent-browser
Speed Slower (pure JS) Faster (Rust CLI + Playwright)
Stability Common timeout issues More robust (Playwright engine)
Refs No (manual selectors) Yes (deterministic @e1, @e2)
Semantic locators No Yes (role, text, label)
Sessions Single instance Parallel isolated sessions
State persistence Manual Built-in (state save/load)
Network interception Limited Full routing/mocking
AI integration Manual Designed for LLMs
CLI speed Node startup Rust CLI (fast)

Why agent-browser Is Better for Reonomy Scraper

  1. Ref-based navigation — Snapshot once, use refs for all interactions (faster, less brittle)
  2. Semantic locators — Find elements by role/text/label instead of fragile CSS selectors
  3. State persistence — Save login state once, reuse across scrapes (no repeated auth)
  4. Sessions — Run multiple scrapers in parallel (different locations, same time)
  5. Faster daemon — Rust CLI stays running, commands execute instantly
  6. Better wait handlingwait --text, wait --url, wait --load networkidle

~12:19 UTC (7:19 EST) - Discord #general

  • User wants research on direct URL construction for advanced search with phone + email filters
  • User asked: "Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you to help before you do your investigation"

~12:28 UTC (7:28 EST) - Discord #general

  • User asked "how's it going?"
  • Started investigation into Reonomy URL construction

Reonomy URL Research Started:

Key Finding from Help Center: From article 3688399-can-i-search-by-type-of-ownership-information:

"The Ownership tab in our search filters allows you to search by Owner Contact Information that Includes Phone Number, Includes Email Address or Includes Mailing Address."

Confirmed Filters:

  • "Includes Phone Number" - Filter for properties with phone contacts
  • "Includes Email Address" - Filter for properties with email contacts
  • "Includes Mailing Address" - Filter for properties with mailing address

Known URL Patterns (from previous research):

https://app.reonomy.com/#!/search/{search-id}                 # Search page
https://app.reonomy.com/#!/property/{property-id}                # Property page
https://app.reonomy.com/#!/search/{search-id}/property/{id}/ownership  # Ownership page (with contact info)

Open Questions:

  • Can search parameters be passed directly in URL? (e.g., /#!/search?q=eatontown+nj)
  • Can filters be encoded in URL? (e.g., ?phone=true&email=true)
  • Do filters generate shareable URLs?
  • Does Reonomy use query strings or hash-based routing only?

Research Documented: /Users/jakeshore/.clawdbot/workspace/reonomy-url-research.md

Questions / Open Items

  • Should we migrate Reonomy scraper from Puppeteer to agent-browser?
  • Does Reonomy support URL-based search parameters (to skip input typing)?
  • NEW: What is the exact URL pattern for filtered search with phone + email?

Decisions Made

  • agent-browser installed and tested
  • Reonomy scraper v9 workflow documented
  • Video clip redone with proper luminance analysis
  • Reonomy URL research initiated - help center confirms filters exist, but URL pattern unknown

~12:46 UTC (7:46 EST) - Discord #general

  • User provided exact URLs and CSS selector for phone numbers!

What User Provided:

  • Search URL (with phone+email filters):

    https://app.reonomy.com/#!/search/504a2d13-d88f-4213-9ac6-a7c8bc7c20c6
    

    The search ID (504a2d13-d88f-4213-9ac6-a7c8bc7c20c6) encodes: phone + email filters applied.

  • Property Ownership URLs (examples):

    https://app.reonomy.com/#!/search/504a2d13-d88f-4213-9ac6-a7c8bc7c20c6/property/2b370b6a-7461-5b2c-83be-a59b84788125/ownership
    https://app.reonomy.com/#!/search/504a2d13-d88f-4213-9ac6-a7c8bc7c20c6/property/eac231fb-2e3c-4fe9-8231-fb2e3cafe9c9/ownership
    https://app.reonomy.com/#!/search/504a2d13-d88f-4213-9ac6-a7c8bc7c20c6/property/b6222331-c1e5-4e4c-a223-31c1e59e4c0b/ownership
    https://app.reonomy.com/#!/search/504a2d13-d88f-4213-9ac6-a7c8bc7c20c6/property/988d9810-6cf5-5fda-9af3-7715de381fb2/ownership
    
  • Phone number CSS selector:

    p.MuiTypography-root.jss1797.jss1798.MuiTypography-body2
    

    (Same class for residential properties)

  • Goal: Collect data from BOTH "Builder and Lot" AND "Owner" tabs

Investigation Completed via agent-browser:

  • Successfully logged in to Reonomy
  • Confirmed OAuth redirect works with encoded redirect_uri
  • Confirmed direct ownership URL access works (bypasses need for clicking property cards)
  • Search results confirmed to display property cards

Key Findings:

  • No URL parameters needed — Search ID from filtered search encodes: phone + email filters
  • One-time capture — Perform filtered search once, capture search ID, reuse for all properties
  • Direct ownership URLs work/search/{id}/property/{id}/ownership pattern confirmed

How to use:

  1. Perform search with filters manually (one time)
  2. Capture search ID from URL
  3. Use that search ID for all subsequent property ownership URLs
  4. No need to construct URLs — just append property IDs to the base search ID path

Questions / Open Items

  • Should we migrate Reonomy scraper from Puppeteer to agent-browser?
  • Should we update scraper to extract from BOTH "Builder and Lot" AND "Owner" tabs?

Decisions Made

  • agent-browser installed and tested
  • Reonomy scraper v9 workflow documented
  • Video clip redone with proper luminance analysis
  • Reonomy URL research COMPLETED — search ID encodes filters, direct URL construction confirmed

~18:07 UTC (13:07 EST) - Discord #general

  • User said "yes proceed" to creating new Reonomy scraper with agent-browser

Created: reonomy-scraper-v10-agent-browser.js

Key Improvements Over v9:

  • Uses agent-browser instead of Puppeteer (faster, refs, semantic locators)
  • State save/load for auth persistence (skip repeated login)
  • Extracts from BOTH "Builder and Lot" AND "Owner" tabs
  • Uses search ID from URL (direct ownership access, no clicking cards)
  • Uses user-provided phone CSS selector: p.MuiTypography-root.jss1797.jss1798.MuiTypography-body2

Workflow:

  1. Check for saved auth state (skip login if exists)
  2. Navigate to search using search ID: https://app.reonomy.com/#!/search/${SEARCH_ID}
  3. Extract property IDs from search results
  4. For each property:
    • Navigate directly to ownership page: /search/${SEARCH_ID}/property/${id}/ownership
    • Wait 8 seconds for page load
    • Extract Builder and Lot data: address, city, state, zip, SF, property type
    • Extract Owner tab data: owner names, emails, phones (using provided CSS selector)
    • Take screenshot (first 3 properties)
  5. Save to JSON: reonomy-leads-v10-agent-browser.json
  6. Save search ID for reuse: reonomy-search-id.txt

Usage:

# With pre-configured search ID
SEARCH_ID="504a2d13-d88f-4213-9ac6-a7c8bc7c20c6" node reonomy-scraper-v10-agent-browser.js

# Or set as environment variable
REONOMY_SEARCH_ID="your-search-id" node reonomy-scraper-v10-agent-browser.js

# After first run, scraper will auto-detect search ID from saved auth state

Files:

  • reonomy-scraper-v10-agent-browser.js — Main scraper script
  • reonomy-leads-v10-agent-browser.json — Output leads
  • reonomy-scraper-v10.log — Detailed logs
  • reonomy-auth-state.txt — Saved auth state
  • reonomy-search-id.txt — Reusable search ID

Decisions Made

  • Created new Reonomy scraper using agent-browser
  • Dual-tab extraction (Builder and Lot + Owner) implemented
  • Auth state persistence added
  • Direct ownership URL navigation (no property card clicking) implemented
