# Send Keys

> Send keyboard input to the browser

## Description

Sends one or more key presses to the browser. Supports special keys like `Backspace`, `Enter`, `Tab`, and `ArrowUp`. Multiple keys can be sent as a comma-separated string.

  The browser ID returned from Create Session.

## Request Body

<ParamField body="keys" type="string" required>
  Key or comma-separated list of keys to send. Repeat a key by appending a count, e.g. `Backspace10` to press Backspace 10 times.
</ParamField>

## Response

<ResponseField name="success" type="boolean">
  Whether the keys were sent successfully.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="message" type="string">
  Confirmation message.
</ResponseField>
