Firecrawl Interact

# firecrawl interact

Interact with scraped pages in a live browser session. Scrape a page first, then use natural language prompts or code to click, fill forms, navigate, and extract data. For web searches, use `search` — interact is for acting on a specific page.

## Quick start

```bash # 1. Scrape a page (scrape ID is saved automatically) firecrawl scrape "<url>"

# 2. Interact with the page using a positional prompt firecrawl interact "Click the login button" firecrawl interact "Fill in the email field with test@example.com" firecrawl interact "Extract the pricing table"

# A UUID first argument is auto-detected as the scrape ID firecrawl interact "<scrape-id>" "Extract the pricing table"

# 3. Or use code for precise control firecrawl interact --code "agent-browser click @e5" --bash firecrawl interact --code "agent-browser snapshot -i" --bash

# 4. Stop the session when done firecrawl interact stop ```

Run `firecrawl interact --help` for the full option list.

**Done when:** the requested content or action result is captured and the session is stopped with `firecrawl interact stop`.

## Profiles

Use `--profile` on the scrape to persist browser state (cookies, localStorage) across scrapes:

```bash # Session 1: Login and save state firecrawl scrape "https://app.example.com/login" --profile my-app firecrawl interact --prompt "Fill in email with user@example.com and click login"

# Session 2: Come back authenticated firecrawl scrape "https://app.example.com/dashboard" --profile my-app firecrawl interact --prompt "Extract the dashboard data" ```

Read-only reconnect (no writes to profile state):

```bash firecrawl scrape "https://app.example.com" --profile my-app --no-save-changes ```

## Tips

- Always scrape first — `interact` requires a scrape ID from a previous `firecrawl scrape` call - The scrape ID is saved automatically, so you can omit `--scrape-id` for subsequent interact calls. Saved sessions may expire after about 10 minutes; re-scrape if the CLI warns that the session is stale - Use `firecrawl interact stop` to free resources when done - For parallel work, scrape multiple pages and interact with each using `--scrape-id`
