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

# 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

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:

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

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
