zyte-api-automation

Allows your agent to automate the use of Zyte API. It can interact with the API to get data. It's useful for developers who need automated web data.

What it does

This tool helps you use the Zyte API to automatically collect data from the web. It connects to the Zyte API through a system called Rube MCP, ensuring you always use the latest information.

When to use it

  • ✓When you need to extract information from multiple websites at once.
  • ✓When automating data collection for market analysis or research.
  • ✓To get specific data from web pages without manual browsing.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Collect the titles and prices of all products on the X store's homepage.”

Ready-to-paste message

Use this skill to help me: https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills/blob/master/composio-skills/zyte-api-automation/SKILL.md Read the SKILL.md file at that link and follow its instructions for my task.
How it works

First, the system checks which Zyte API tools are available and how to use them. Then, it ensures the connection to the Zyte API is active. Finally, it executes the requested task using the correct tools.

Installation

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills --skill zyte-api-automation

Or download just the file:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills/master/composio-skills/zyte-api-automation/SKILL.md -o SKILL.md

Zyte API Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Zyte API operations through Composio's Zyte API toolkit via Rube MCP.

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/zyte_api

Prerequisites

  • Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
  • Active Zyte API connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit zyte_api
  • Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

  1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
  2. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit zyte_api
  3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup
  4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Tool Discovery

Always discover available tools before executing workflows:

RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
queries: [{use_case: "Zyte API operations", known_fields: ""}]
session: {generate_id: true}

This returns available tool slugs, input schemas, recommended execution plans, and known pitfalls.

Core Workflow Pattern

Step 1: Discover Available Tools

RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
queries: [{use_case: "your specific Zyte API task"}]
session: {id: "existing_session_id"}

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["zyte_api"]
session_id: "your_session_id"

Step 3: Execute Tools

RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL
tools: [{
  tool_slug: "TOOL_SLUG_FROM_SEARCH",
  arguments: {/* schema-compliant args from search results */}
}]
memory: {}
session_id: "your_session_id"

Known Pitfalls

  • Always search first: Tool schemas change. Never hardcode tool slugs or arguments without calling RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
  • Check connection: Verify RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS shows ACTIVE status before executing tools
  • Schema compliance: Use exact field names and types from the search results
  • Memory parameter: Always include memory in RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL calls, even if empty ({})
  • Session reuse: Reuse session IDs within a workflow. Generate new ones for new workflows
  • Pagination: Check responses for pagination tokens and continue fetching until complete

Quick Reference

Operation Approach
Find tools RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS with Zyte API-specific use case
Connect RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit zyte_api
Execute RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL with discovered tool slugs
Bulk ops RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH with run_composio_tool()
Full schema RUBE_GET_TOOL_SCHEMAS for tools with schemaRef

FAQ

What is Rube MCP?

It's a system that allows the AI agent to connect to and use external tools, like the Zyte API, in an automated way.

Why do I need to connect my Zyte API account?

The connection provides the necessary authorization for the AI agent to use the Zyte API on your behalf to collect data.

What if the tool I need isn't found?

The system always searches for the latest tools. If a specific task isn't covered, you might need to check the Zyte API documentation or try a different approach.
