agentql

What it is and what it does

AgentQL is a Python client for Tiny Fish AgentQL, which replaces traditional CSS/XPath selectors with AI-driven natural language queries for web interaction. Instead of writing brittle element selectors, you describe what you want to extract or interact with in plain language, and the client handles locating and interacting with page elements through Playwright.

The package depends on Playwright for browser control, Pydantic for data validation, httpx and requests for HTTP operations, and includes CLI support via Typer. It's designed for developers building web automation, testing, or scraping workflows who want to avoid maintaining selector-based code that breaks when page layouts change.

Use it for:

• Automate web testing workflows without writing brittle CSS or XPath selectors.
• Extract structured data from websites using natural language descriptions instead of manual parsing.
• Build AI-powered bots that interact with web applications by understanding page content semantically.
• Prototype rapid web automation tasks without deep knowledge of page DOM structure.
