Specifying a string as the value of a locator will extract the text content of the element.

Specifying an object as the value of a locator allows for more complex extraction, including lists and attributes.

To extract a list of elements, use the special key _list with a locator string that will match multiple elements. To extract properties of each list item, use the special key _list_item_properties with an object defining the properties to extract.

To extract an attribute of an element, use the special keys _locator and _target within a locator object.

Files are downloaded to the default tmp directory on the virtual worker machine.

# Upload Files

Specify an array of file paths to be uploaded.
Resulting fileuuids are available in the command payload if successful.

# Locators

Locators are used to identify and interact with elements on a web page. They can be defined using various strategies, such as CSS selectors, XPath expressions, or text content. See locators documentation for more details and examples.
