How to turn many web pages into typed rows in one call with Aside Codemode

Fetch a list of URLs in one browser batch and return a few extracted fields per page.

Who it is forA researcher or analyst in Aside who has a list of pages and needs the same few facts from each.

The problemReading each page natively adds one round trip per page and puts whole pages or accessibility trees into the model context.

The outcomeThe agent gets one typed row per page, such as a title and first link, instead of raw HTML.

What you need first

  • Node.js 18 or newer
  • Aside installed with its daemon running on macOS or Windows
  • ripgrep on the PATH for the CLI route (the MCP route uses Aside's bundled ripgrep automatically)
  • Browsing turned on in Aside for the browser batch use case

Steps

  1. Run npm install -g aside-codemode
  2. Run codemode --install-mcp
  3. Turn on browsing in Aside
  4. Run codemode --doctor and confirm the state reads activated
  5. Ask the agent to run browse.exec over your URL list with the fields you want

Prompt for your agent

Use the aside-codemode execute_code tool to call browse.exec on the URLs in <url list>, extracting the title and first link, and return the items array. Verify that each row has a status and that pages that failed are reported rather than hidden.

Caveat. The README's five-page measurement dropped two pages that answered with a captcha, so expect some pages to fail and check the status on each row.
