Firecrawl Build Interact

Use this when /scrape is not enough because the feature needs to act on the page.

Use This When

• content appears only after clicks, typing, or navigation
• the feature needs forms, pagination, filters, or multi-step flows
• the product must stay in the same browser context after scraping

Default Recommendations

• Start with /scrape, then escalate to /interact.
• Keep /interact scoped to the smallest browser workflow that unlocks the data.
• Use persistent profiles only when the feature truly needs authenticated state across sessions.

Common Product Patterns

• search forms and faceted filters
• paginated result sets
• login-gated dashboards or tools
• flows where the page must be explored before extraction is complete

Implementation Notes

• /interact is the right tool when the page must be manipulated, not just read.
• Keep prompts or action code specific to the product flow.
• If the use case is fully open-ended browser automation, evaluate whether a browser sandbox is a better product fit.

Escalation Rules

• If the page can be read directly, stay on [firecrawl-build-scrape](../firecrawl-build-scrape/SKILL.md).
