# CLI Overview

> Command-line interface for web scraping operations

Scrapling provides a powerful command-line interface for web scraping tasks without writing any code. The CLI includes commands for installing dependencies, running an interactive shell, extracting content from web pages, and starting the MCP server.

## Available Commands

The Scrapling CLI offers the following main commands:

### Install

Install all Scrapling fetcher dependencies including Playwright browsers:

```bash theme={null}
scrapling install
```

Options:

* `-f`, `--force` - Force reinstall all dependencies

### Shell

Launch an interactive scraping console:

```bash theme={null}
scrapling shell
```

Options:

* `-c`, `--code` - Evaluate code in the shell, print result and exit
* `-L`, `--loglevel` - Set log level (debug, info, warning, error, critical, fatal)

### Extract

Fetch web pages and extract content as HTML, Markdown, or text:

```bash theme={null}
scrapling extract [COMMAND]
```

Supported HTTP methods:

* `get` - Perform GET requests
* `post` - Perform POST requests
* `put` - Perform PUT requests
* `delete` - Perform DELETE requests
* `fetch` - Use browser automation (DynamicFetcher)
