Scraping · Web
Firecrawl Interact
For pages a plain scrape cannot finish. Clicks, form fills, pagination and auth-aware flows wired into product code through Firecrawl's /interact, instead of giving up at the first button.
Use it in your assistant
Claude Code — drop the file in your skills folder and it loads on the next session. Use ~/.claude/skills for every project, or .claude/skills inside a repo to keep it to that project.
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-build-interact
curl -L https://growsteady.io/skills/firecrawl-build-interact/download -o ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-build-interact/SKILL.mdClaude apps (web and desktop) — Settings → Capabilities → Skills → add a skill. Upload the file as SKILL.md inside a folder named firecrawl-build-interact (zip the folder if an archive is asked for).
No install— paste the file into a Claude Project's custom instructions with “Copy as prompt”. Same behaviour, scoped to that project.
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
/interactscoped 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
/interactis 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.
