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

# 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:

# 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):

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
