The Lens

By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.

Updated Mar 2026

Opencli-rs does it from a single command line. Type a command, get structured data back. No browser automation, no scraping scripts, no API keys for most sites. It reuses your Chrome login session.

This is a Rust rewrite of OpenCLI that's 12x faster, uses 10x less memory, and ships as a single 4.7 MB binary with zero runtime dependencies. No Node.js, no Python. Just put it in your PATH. Output in table, JSON, YAML, CSV, or Markdown.

Designed to be AI-agent friendly. Configure it in AGENT.md so your agent can discover and call all available tools automatically.

The catch: no license specified, which is a problem for any serious use. 'Reuses your Chrome login session' means it's accessing sites as you. If a site's TOS prohibits automated access, you're on the hook. And 55+ sites sounds great until the one you need isn't supported. Site-specific scrapers break when sites update their layouts.
