1	# Browser Automation with playwright-cli
2
3	## Quick start
4
5	```bash
6	# open new browser
7	playwright-cli open
8	# navigate to a page
9	playwright-cli goto https://playwright.dev
10	# interact with the page using refs from the snapshot
11	playwright-cli click e15
12	playwright-cli type "page.click"
13	playwright-cli press Enter
14	# take a screenshot (rarely used, as snapshot is more common)
15	playwright-cli screenshot
16	# close the browser
17	playwright-cli close
18	```
19
20	## How interaction refs work
21
22	After every command, playwright-cli emits a snapshot file (`.playwright-cli/page-*.yml`). Element refs (`e3`, `e7`, `e15`) come from that snapshot, read it before the next interactive command. Use `playwright-cli snapshot` to refresh on demand.
23
24	```bash
25	> playwright-cli goto https://example.com
26	### Page
27	- Page URL: https://example.com/
28	- Page Title: Example Domain
29	### Snapshot
30	[Snapshot](.playwright-cli/page-2026-02-14T19-22-42-679Z.yml)
31	```
32
33	If `--filename` is not provided, a new snapshot file is created with a timestamp. Default to automatic file naming; use `--filename=` when the artifact is part of the workflow result.
34
35	## Local installation fallback
36
37	If running globally-available `playwright-cli` fails, prefix with `npx`:
38
39	```bash
40	npx playwright-cli open https://example.com
41	npx playwright-cli click e1
42	```
43
44	## Browser sessions
45
46	Use `-s=<name>` to run multiple parallel sessions:
47
48	```bash
49	playwright-cli -s=mysession open example.com --persistent
50	playwright-cli -s=mysession click e6
51	playwright-cli -s=mysession close
52	playwright-cli list # list active sessions
53	playwright-cli close-all # close every browser
54	```
55
56	## Command reference
57
58	Full surface, core, navigation, keyboard, mouse, save-as, tabs, storage (cookies / localStorage / sessionStorage), network, devtools, open parameters, snapshots, browser sessions, end-to-end examples, is in [references/commands.md](references/commands.md).
59
60	## Specific tasks
61
62	- Request mocking: [references/request-mocking.md](references/request-mocking.md)
63	- Running Playwright code: [references/running-code.md](references/running-code.md)
64	- Browser session management: [references/session-management.md](references/session-management.md)
65	- Storage state (cookies, localStorage): [references/storage-state.md](references/storage-state.md)
66	- Test generation: [references/test-generation.md](references/test-generation.md)
67	- Tracing: [references/tracing.md](references/tracing.md)
68	- Video recording: [references/video-recording.md](references/video-recording.md)
