Firecrawl Interact

From the author

Drive a live browser on a scraped page: click, fill forms, log in, paginate, infinite-scroll. Use when content requires interaction or a scrape failed or returned incomplete content.

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The firecrawl-interact skill provides a command-line interface to drive a live browser session on previously scraped web pages. It allows users to perform complex interactions such as logging in, filling out forms, navigating pagination, or handling infinite scrolls. By maintaining browser state through profiles, it enables authenticated sessions and persistent data access, making it a powerful tool for scraping content that requires user interaction or dynamic page behavior.

What it does

Executes browser actions like clicking elements and filling out forms via natural language prompts.
Supports navigation through pagination and infinite-scroll elements.
Maintains browser state, including cookies and local storage, using profiles for authenticated sessions.
Allows for precise control over browser sessions using custom code commands.
Enables extraction of specific page content after performing necessary interactions.
Provides session management to start, interact with, and stop browser instances.

When to use it

When a standard scrape fails to retrieve content due to dynamic loading or interaction requirements.
When you need to access authenticated areas of a website by logging in.
When you need to extract data from complex web applications that require user input.
When you need to navigate through multi-page content or infinite-scrolling feeds.

Advantages

Enables scraping of complex, interactive, and authenticated web content.
Supports persistent sessions to avoid repeated login procedures.
Offers both natural language prompting and code-based control for flexibility.
Integrates seamlessly with existing scraping workflows.

Usage examples

“firecrawl interact "Fill in the email field with [email removed] and click the login button"”: The agent interacts with the live browser session to input the specified email and trigger the login action.
“firecrawl interact "Extract the pricing table from the page"”: The agent locates the pricing table element in the current browser session and extracts the data.
“firecrawl scrape "https://app.example.com/dashboard" --profile my-app && firecrawl interact "Extract the dashboard data"”: The agent uses the saved profile to access the authenticated dashboard and retrieves the requested data.

Documentation by Firecrawl

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 [email protected]"
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 [email protected] 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
