Webhands

A computer-use agent for the tools that have no usable API. Webhands drives the real dashboard (TikTok Shop seller center, supplier/3PL portals) via Cloudflare Browser Rendering, returns clean structured data, and refuses any write action unless you explicitly confirm it.

"There's no API" becomes "there's an agent."

How it works

You POST a recipe: an entry URL, optional login/navigation steps, and an extraction spec. Webhands runs it in a headless browser and returns:

• data, structured JSON (scraped from CSS selectors, or extracted from the page text by Claude when you give a natural-language extract.prompt)
• screenshotBase64, proof of what it saw
• steps, the actions it took

Any step marked write: true (e.g. clicking "Issue refund") is refused unless the request includes confirm: true, so reads are safe by default and writes are deliberate.

Modes

• live, when the BROWSER binding is present (Workers plan with Browser Rendering enabled).
• dry, without the binding, returns the plan it would run. Lets you build and test recipes without a paid binding.

Run

npm install
cp .dev.vars.example .dev.vars   # set WEBHANDS_TOKEN, optional ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
npm run dev
npm run deploy                   # Cloudflare Workers (workers.dev URL)

Example: pull this week's orders from a no-API dashboard

curl -s "$URL/run" -H "x-webhands-token: $WEBHANDS_TOKEN" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "recipe": {
      "url": "https://seller.example.com/login",
      "steps": [
        { "action": "type", "selector": "#email", "text": "ops@brand.com" },
        { "action": "type", "selector": "#password", "text": "...", "secret": true },
        { "action": "click", "selector": "#signin" },
        { "action": "waitFor", "selector": ".orders-table" },
        { "action": "goto", "url": "https://seller.example.com/orders?range=7d" }
      ],
      "extract": { "prompt": "Return JSON: [{orderId, total, status, date}] for every order row" }
    }
  }'

A write recipe (e.g. clicking a "confirm shipment" button) returns an error until you resend it with "confirm": true.
