firecrawl instruct

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 → instruct
• Never use instruct for web searches — use search instead

Quick start

# 1. Scrape a page (scrape ID is saved automatically)
