# Snapshots
The `snapshot` command returns a compact accessibility tree with refs for element interaction.
## Options
Filter output to reduce size:
```bash
agent-browser snapshot # Full accessibility tree
agent-browser snapshot -i # Interactive elements only (recommended)
agent-browser snapshot -i -C # Include cursor-interactive elements
agent-browser snapshot -c # Compact (remove empty elements)
agent-browser snapshot -d 3 # Limit depth to 3 levels
agent-browser snapshot -s "#main" # Scope to CSS selector
agent-browser snapshot -i -c -d 5 # Combine options
```
| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `-i, --interactive` | Only interactive elements (buttons, links, inputs) |
| `-C, --cursor` | Include cursor-interactive elements (cursor:pointer, onclick, tabindex) |
| `-c, --compact` | Remove empty structural elements |
| `-d, --depth` | Limit tree depth |
| `-s, --selector` | Scope to CSS selector |
## Cursor-interactive elements
Many modern web apps use custom clickable elements (divs, spans) instead of standard buttons or links.
The `-C` flag detects these by looking for:
- `cursor: pointer` CSS style
- `onclick` attribute or handler
- `tabindex` attribute (keyboard focusable)
```bash
agent-browser snapshot -i -C
# Output includes:
# @e1 [button] "Submit"
# @e2 [link] "Learn more"
# Cursor-interactive elements:
# @e3 [clickable] "Menu Item" [cursor:pointer, onclick]
# @e4 [clickable] "Card" [cursor:pointer]
```
## Output format
The default text output is compact and AI-friendly:
```bash
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Output:
# @e1 [heading] "Example Domain" [level=1]
# @e2 [button] "Submit"
# @e3 [input type="email"] placeholder="Email"
# @e4 [link] "Learn more"
```
## Using refs
Refs from the snapshot map directly to commands:
```bash
agent-browser click @e2 # Click the Submit button
agent-browser fill @e3 "a@b.com" # Fill the email input
agent-browser get text @e1 # Get heading text
```
## Ref lifecycle
Refs are invalidated when the page changes. Always re-snapshot after navigation or DOM updates:
```bash
agent-browser click @e4 # Navigates to new page
agent-browser snapshot -i # Get fresh refs
agent-browser click @e1 # Use new refs
```
## Best practices
1. Use `-i` to reduce output to actionable elements
2. Re-snapshot after page changes to get updated refs
3. Scope with `-s` for specific page sections
4. Use `-d` to limit depth on complex pages
## JSON output
For programmatic parsing in scripts:
```bash
agent-browser snapshot --json
# {"success":true,"data":{"snapshot":"...","refs":{"e1":{"role":"heading","name":"Title"},...}}}
```
Note: JSON uses more tokens than text output. The default text format is preferred for AI agents.
