unicli One-Shot Adapter
Generate a single unicli command from a URL + goal in 4 steps.
Process
Step 1: Open the Page
unicli operate open "<URL>"
unicli operate state
Step 2: Discover the API
Open browser DevTools Network tab. Look for XHR/Fetch requests that return JSON data matching your goal.
Key signals:
/api/or/v1/in URL → REST endpoint- JSON response with array of items → listable data
- Query parameters → filterable
Step 3: Write the YAML
Create src/adapters/<site>/<command>.yaml:
site: <site-name>
name: <command>
description: <what it does>
type: web-api
strategy: public # or cookie if auth needed
pipeline:
- fetch:
url: <discovered-api-url>
params: <query-params>
- select: <path.to.data>
- map:
title: ${{ item.title }}
# ... map fields
columns: [title, ...]
Step 4: Test
npm run dev -- <site> <command>
npm run dev -- <site> <command> -f json
Done. One YAML file, one command, zero code.
