Business Contact Social Links Skill

Business Contact & Social Links Extractor Skill

📖 Brief

This skill integrates two BrowserAct templates to cover two common scenarios. When the user provides a company name, it searches Google to extract the company's official website and social media channels. When the user provides a website URL, it scrapes the site to extract social media profile links (LinkedIn, Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok). The script auto-detects the input type and routes to the correct template.

✨ Features

1. No Hallucinations: Pre-set workflows avoid AI generative hallucinations, ensuring stable and precise data extraction.
2. No Captcha Issues: No need to handle reCAPTCHA or other verification challenges.
3. No IP Restrictions: No need to handle regional IP restrictions or geofencing.
4. Faster Execution: Tasks execute faster compared to pure AI-driven browser automation solutions.
5. Cost-Effective: Significantly lowers data acquisition costs compared to high-token-consuming AI solutions.

🔑 API Key Setup

Before running, check the BROWSERACT_API_KEY environment variable. If not set, do not take other measures; ask and wait for the user to provide it. Agent must inform the user:

"Since you haven't configured the BrowserAct API Key yet, please visit the BrowserAct Console to get your Key."

🛠️ Input Parameters

The agent should determine whether the input is a company name or a website URL and pass it to the script. The script automatically routes the request to the correct template.

1. Target (Company Name or Website URL)
   • Required: Yes
   • Type: string
   • Description: The name of the company to search for, or the direct website URL to scrape social links from.
   • Example: OpenAI or https://www.rotorooter.com/

🚀 Invocation Method

Agent should execute the following command to invoke the skill:

bashCopy code
# Search by company name
python -u ./scripts/business_contact_social_links.py "OpenAI"

# Scrape by website URL
python -u ./scripts/business_contact_social_links.py "https://www.rotorooter.com/"

⏳ Execution Monitoring

Since this task involves automated browser operations, it may take several minutes. The script outputs timestamped status logs continuously (e.g., [14:30:05] Task Status: running). Agent guidelines:

• Monitor the terminal output while waiting.
• As long as new status logs appear, the task is running normally; do not misjudge it as frozen.
• Only consider triggering retry if the status remains unchanged for a long time or output stops without a final result.

📊 Data Output

Upon successful execution, the script prints structured JSON data extracted from the API response.

If a Company Name was provided, the output includes:

• Company Name: The official name of the company.
• Current Page URL: The official website URL.
• Social Media Information: A consolidated list of discovered social media profiles.

If a Website URL was provided, the output includes an array of objects:

• platform: Platform name (e.g., LinkedIn, YouTube).
• url: Canonical URL of the external profile.

⚠️ Error Handling & Retry

If an error occurs during script execution (e.g., network fluctuations or task failure), the Agent should follow this logic:

1. Check Output Content:

   • If the output contains "Invalid authorization", it means the API Key is invalid or expired. Do not retry; guide the user to re-check and provide the correct API Key.
   • If the output contains "concurrent" or "too many running tasks", it means the concurrent task limit has been reached. Do not retry; guide the user to upgrade their plan. Agent must inform the user:

     "The current task cannot be executed because your BrowserAct account has reached the concurrent task limit. Please visit the BrowserAct Plan Upgrade Page to upgrade your plan."

   • If the output does not contain the above error keywords but the task failed (e.g., output starts with Error: or returns empty results), the Agent should automatically re-execute the script once.

2. Retry Limit:

   • Automatic retry is limited to one time. If the second attempt fails, stop retrying and report the specific error to the user.
