# Capture DOM

**Type:** `capture_dom`

This action will capture and return the site's raw DOM, which you can then extract data from on your end. 

For common AI scenarios, you may find that this returns too much data, so we have provided a [`generate_simplified_dom`](https://gaffa.dev/docs/features/browser-requests/actions/generate-simplified-dom) , an action that distills the DOM to only the important elements. 

### Parameters

See [universal parameters](https://gaffa.dev/docs/features/browser-requests/actions/..#universal-parameters).

### Usage

Capture the raw DOM of the current page

```
"actions": [
    {
      "type": "capture_dom"
    }
]
```
