# 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](https://www.browseract.com/reception/integrations) 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:

```bash
# 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](https://www.browseract.com/reception/recharge) 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.

## 🌟 Typical Use Cases
1. **Sales Lead Enrichment**: Find the official website and social channels for a list of company names.
2. **Influencer Outreach**: Extract all social media profiles from a creator's personal website.
3. **Competitor Analysis**: Discover which social media platforms a rival company prioritizes.
4. **CRM Data Cleaning**: Verify and populate missing social links and official URLs for existing leads.
5. **Multi-Channel Marketing**: Build targeted lists of businesses with active social media presence.
6. **Social Listening Setup**: Quickly gather official handles to monitor brand mentions.
7. **B2B Prospecting**: Combine with Yellow Pages data to build complete business intelligence profiles.
8. **Partner Vetting**: Evaluate the digital footprint of a potential business partner using just their name.
9. **Directory Building**: Automate the collection of website and social links for a local business directory.
10. **Brand Tracking**: Track all official contact channels of specific brands across the web.
