type

Type text character-by-character into an input field. Unlike fill, this triggers keystroke events for each character - use it for fields that react to individual key presses (search autocomplete, OTP inputs). Python only.

# Character-by-character input
await page.type("#search", value="query text")

# AI-powered type
await page.type(prompt="Type 'hello' into the search box")

# Selector with AI fallback
await page.type("#search", value="query text", prompt="Type into the search field")

# TOTP input
await page.type("#otp", totp_identifier="my-app", totp_url="otpauth://totp/...")

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`selector`	`str`	No	CSS or XPath selector for the input field.
`value`	`str`	No	Text to type character-by-character.
`ai`	`str`	No	Controls AI behavior. Default `"fallback"` tries the selector first, then AI.
`prompt`	`str`	No	Natural-language description of the target field.
`totp_identifier`	`str`	No	Identifier for a stored TOTP secret.
`totp_url`	`str`	No	`otpauth://` URI to generate a one-time password on the fly.

Returns str - the resolved selector used.
