query_elements returns locators, not data - use query_data for scraping
Pick the right method for the job: query_data returns scraped data, query_elements returns Playwright locators you can click, fill, and scroll. Calling query_elements and then trying to read text fields off the response gives you locator objects, not values. If you need the data, use query_data; if you need to interact, use query_elements and drive the returned locators with the Playwright API.
Context: AgentQL official docs (Fetch a collection of elements): query_elements does not return data - unlike query_data for scraping, it returns one or more interactive Playwright locators for automation.Maintainer review
