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.
在实时浏览器会话中与已爬取页面交互。首先爬取一个页面，随后即可通过自然语言提示或代码点击、填写表单、导航、提取数据。

When to use

适用场景

  • 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
  • 内容需要交互才能访问：点击、表单填写、分页、登录
  • scrape
    命令执行失败，因为内容需要通过JavaScript交互才能加载
  • 需要导航多步流程
  • 工作流升级模式的最后手段：搜索 → 爬取 → 映射 → 爬虫 → interact
  • 绝对不要使用interact执行网页搜索 —— 请使用
    search
    命令

Options

可选参数

OptionDescription
--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
OptionDescription
--prompt <text>
自然语言指令（与--code二选一使用）
--code <code>
要在浏览器会话中执行的代码
--language <lang>
代码使用的语言：bash、python、node
--timeout <seconds>
执行超时时间（默认：30秒，最大值：300秒）
--scrape-id <id>
指定目标爬取任务（默认使用最近一次爬取）
-o, --output <path>
输出文件路径

Profiles

配置文件

Use 
--profile
on the scrape to persist browser state (cookies, localStorage) across scrapes:
bash
undefined
在爬取时使用
--profile
参数可在多次爬取之间持久化浏览器状态（Cookie、localStorage）：
bash
undefined

Session 1: Login and save state

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"
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

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
firecrawl scrape "https://app.example.com/dashboard" --profile my-app firecrawl interact --prompt "Extract the dashboard data"

只读重连（不会写入配置文件状态）：

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

Tips

使用提示

  • 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
  • 始终先执行爬取 —— 
    interact
    需要来自之前
    firecrawl scrape
    调用生成的爬取ID
  • 爬取ID会自动保存，因此后续的interact调用不需要指定
    --scrape-id
  • 使用完毕后执行
    firecrawl interact stop
    释放资源
  • 如需并行工作，可先爬取多个页面，再通过
    --scrape-id
    分别与每个页面交互
