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.

When to use

  • Content requires interaction: clicks, form fills, pagination, login
  • scrape failed because content is behind JavaScript interaction
  • You need to navigate a multi-step flow
  • Last resort in the workflow escalation pattern: search → scrape → map → crawl → interact
  • Never use interact for web searches — use search instead

Quick start

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

# 2. Interact with the page using natural language
firecrawl interact --prompt "Click the login button"
firecrawl interact --prompt "Fill in the email field with [email protected]"
firecrawl interact --prompt "Extract the pricing table"

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

# 4. Stop the session when done
firecrawl interact stop

Options

| Option | Description |

| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |

| --prompt <text> | Natural language instruction (use this OR --code) |

| --code <code> | Code to execute in the browser session |

| --language <lang> | Language for code: bash, python, node |

| --timeout <seconds> | Execution timeout (default: 30, max: 300) |

| --scrape-id <id> | Target a specific scrape (default: last scrape) |

| -o, --output <path> | Output file path |

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 don't need --scrape-id for subsequent interact calls
  • Use firecrawl interact stop to free resources when done
  • For parallel work, scrape multiple pages and interact with each using --scrape-id

  • firecrawl-scrape — try scrape first, escalate to interact only when needed
  • firecrawl-search — for web searches (never use interact for searching)

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take firecrawl/firecrawl-interact from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
