| # firecrawl | ||
|
|
||
| Web scraping, searching, and crawling CLI for AI agents. Use when you need to: (1) scrape web pages for clean markdown content, (2) perform web searches with optional page scraping, or (3) discover and map all URLs on a site. | ||
|

| # Firecrawl | ||
|
|
||
| Web scraping, searching, and crawling CLI for AI agents. Returns clean markdown optimized for LLM context windows, handles JavaScript rendering, bypasses common blocks, and provides structured data. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Installation | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| npm install -g firecrawl-cli | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Check status, auth, and rate limits: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| firecrawl --status | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Output when ready: | ||
|
|
||
| ```text | ||
| 🔥 firecrawl cli v1.0.2 | ||
|
|
||
| ● Authenticated via FIRECRAWL_API_KEY | ||
| Concurrency: 0/100 jobs (parallel scrape limit) | ||
| Credits: 500,000 remaining | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| - **Concurrency**: Max parallel jobs. Run parallel operations close to this limit but not above. | ||
| - **Credits**: Remaining API credits. Each scrape/crawl consumes credits. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Authentication | ||
|
|
||
| If not authenticated, run: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| firecrawl login --browser | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| The `--browser` flag automatically opens the browser for authentication without prompting. This is the recommended method for agents. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Manual API Key | ||
|
|
||
| Alternatively, authenticate with an API key from [firecrawl.dev](https://firecrawl.dev): | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| firecrawl login --api-key "<your-key>" | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Or set the environment variable: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| export FIRECRAWL_API_KEY="<your-key>" | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Organization | ||
|
|
||
| Create a `.firecrawl/` folder in the working directory to store results. Always use `-o` to write directly to file (avoids flooding context): | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| # Search the web | ||
| firecrawl search "your query" -o .firecrawl/search-{query}.json | ||
|
|
||
| # Search with scraping enabled | ||
| firecrawl search "your query" --scrape -o .firecrawl/search-{query}-scraped.json | ||
|
|
||
| # Scrape a page | ||
| firecrawl scrape https://example.com -o .firecrawl/{site}-{path}.md | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| **Always quote URLs** - shell interprets `?` and `&` as special characters. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Commands | ||
|
|
||
| ### Search - Web search with optional scraping | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||

|
|
||
| # Output as JSON | ||

|
|
||
| ## Reading Scraped Files | ||
|
|
||
| Firecrawl output files can be large (1000+ lines). Use grep, head, or incremental reads instead of reading entire files at once: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| # Check file size and preview structure | ||
| wc -l .firecrawl/file.md && head -50 .firecrawl/file.md | ||
|
|
||
| # Use grep to find specific content | ||
| grep -n "keyword" .firecrawl/file.md | ||
| grep -A 10 "## Section" .firecrawl/file.md | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Format Behavior | ||
|
|
||
| - **Single format**: Outputs raw content (Markdown text, HTML, etc.) | ||
| - **Multiple formats**: Outputs JSON with all requested data | ||
|
coderabbitai[bot] marked this conversation as resolved.
|
||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| # Raw markdown output | ||
| firecrawl scrape https://example.com --format markdown -o .firecrawl/page.md | ||
|
|
||
| # JSON output with multiple formats | ||
| firecrawl scrape https://example.com --format markdown,links -o .firecrawl/page.json | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Combining with Other Tools | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| # Extract URLs from search results | ||
| jq -r '.data.web[].url' .firecrawl/search-query.json | ||
|
|
||
| # Get titles from search results | ||
| jq -r '.data.web[] | "\(.title): \(.url)"' .firecrawl/search-query.json | ||
|
|
||
| # Process news results | ||
| jq -r '.data.news[] | "[\(.date)] \(.title)"' .firecrawl/search-news.json | ||
|
|
||
| # Count URLs from map | ||
| firecrawl map https://example.com | wc -l | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Parallelization | ||
|
|
||
| Always run multiple scrapes in parallel, never sequentially. Check `firecrawl --status` for concurrency limit, then use `&` and `wait`: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| # Parallel scraping | ||
| firecrawl scrape https://site1.com -o .firecrawl/1.md & | ||
| firecrawl scrape https://site2.com -o .firecrawl/2.md & | ||
| firecrawl scrape https://site3.com -o .firecrawl/3.md & | ||
| wait | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| For many URLs, use xargs with `-P` for parallel execution: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| cat urls.txt | xargs -P 10 -I {} sh -c 'firecrawl scrape "{}" -o ".firecrawl/$(echo {} | md5).md"' | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Troubleshooting | ||
|
|
||
| ### Command not found | ||
|
|
||
| If `firecrawl` command is not found after installation: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Make sure npm global bin is in PATH | ||
| 2. Try: `npx firecrawl-cli --version` | ||
| 3. Or reinstall: `npm install -g firecrawl-cli` | ||
|
|
||
| ### Permission errors | ||
|
|
||
| If you get permission errors during installation: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| # Fix npm permissions (recommended) | ||
| mkdir ~/.npm-global | ||
| npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global' | ||
| export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH | ||
| ``` | ||
