Overview

This node operation stops an interactive browser session associated with a specific scrape job ID using the Firecrawl API. It immediately destroys the browser session, releases all resources, and stops billing. If the session uses a profile with saveChanges enabled, the browser state (such as cookies and localStorage) is saved before closing. This operation is useful for managing and terminating active scraping or crawling sessions to free up resources and control costs.

Use Case Examples

  1. Stopping an active interactive scraping session by providing its scrape job ID to immediately terminate the session and save browser state if applicable.
  2. Releasing resources and stopping billing for a specific interactive session after data extraction is complete.

Properties

Name Meaning
Scrape ID The unique identifier of the scrape job whose interactive session should be stopped. This is required to specify which session to terminate.
Use Custom Body A boolean flag indicating whether to send a custom request body with the stop interaction request.
Request Options Additional HTTP request options such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and timeout configuration to customize the API call behavior.

Output

JSON

  • status - The status of the stop interaction request, indicating success or failure.
  • message - Additional information or confirmation message returned by the API after stopping the interaction.

Dependencies

  • Firecrawl API
  • An API key credential for Firecrawl API authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the provided Scrape ID is correct and corresponds to an active interactive session; otherwise, the stop request may fail.
  • If using a profile with saveChanges enabled, verify that the browser state can be saved properly before the session is destroyed.
  • Check network connectivity and proxy settings if the request times out or fails to reach the Firecrawl API.
  • If SSL certificate validation is disabled, be aware of potential security risks when accepting insecure responses.
