Download and extract the package

Open the OwlReach Downloads page and click the extension download. Save the ZIP, extract it, and keep the extracted folder in a stable location. Do not select the ZIP file itself in the browser extension loader.

Chrome installation

  • Open chrome://extensions in a new tab.
  • Turn on Developer mode in the upper-right corner.
  • Click Load unpacked.
  • Select the extracted folder containing manifest.json at its top level.
  • Pin OwlReach Scrapper from the puzzle-piece Extensions menu.

Edge installation

  • Open edge://extensions.
  • Enable Developer mode.
  • Click Load unpacked.
  • Select the extracted folder containing manifest.json.
  • Pin the extension from the Edge Extensions menu.

Connect it to OwlReach

After installation, sign in from the extension with your OwlReach email or username and password, or create an extension token under Dashboard → API and extension and use Token sign-in. Password sign-in can request your configured two-factor verification code.

If Chrome asks for a site permission during a scan, check that you are using the current extension package. The extension uses activeTab and scripting behavior for the active page; it should not repeatedly request a new permanent permission for every website.

Updating the manual installation

Download the new ZIP, extract it to a new folder, return to the extensions page, click Remove on the old copy, and load the new folder. Your OwlReach account data is server-side, but you may need to sign in again if the extension storage was cleared.
