# Drag the mouse along a path

`POST /browsers/{id}/computer/drag_mouse`

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Request body

- DragMouseRequest
  - `path` array[], required — Ordered list of [x, y] coordinate pairs to move through while dragging. Must contain at least 2 points.
    - integer[]
  - `button` 'left' | 'middle' | 'right' — Mouse button to drag with
  - `delay` integer — Delay in milliseconds between button down and starting to move along the path.
  - `steps_per_segment` integer — Number of relative move steps per segment in the path. Minimum 1.
  - `step_delay_ms` integer — Delay in milliseconds between relative steps while dragging (not the initial delay).
  - `hold_keys` string[] — Modifier keys to hold during the drag
  - `smooth` boolean — Use human-like Bezier curves between path waypoints instead of linear interpolation. When true, steps_per_segment and step_delay_ms are ignored.
  - `duration_ms` integer — Target total duration in milliseconds for the entire drag movement when smooth=true. Omit for automatic timing based on total path length.

## Response `200`

Drag performed
