Everything you need to know about Firecrawl.
General
Firecrawl is the web data API to search, scrape, and interact with the web at scale. One API to turn websites into clean, LLM-ready data. Ideal for AI companies looking to empower their LLM applications with web context
Teams use Firecrawl for deep research agents, RAG pipelines, lead enrichment, competitive intelligence, content generation, price monitoring, and more. Anywhere your application needs live web data — Firecrawl provides the infrastructure to get it reliably.
AI is only as good as the context it gets, and the web is the largest source of live context — but it was built for humans, not machines. Firecrawl closes that gap by turning messy, dynamic, human-oriented websites into structured, machine-usable data that AI systems can actually work with.
These are Firecrawl's three core capabilities. Search finds relevant information on the web. Scrape turns websites into clean, structured, AI-usable data. Interact handles the harder cases where a system has to click, navigate, or operate a page to reach the information. Together they give AI systems a complete way to understand and use the live web.
Yes. Firecrawl has an official MCP server so agents in Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible tools can search, scrape, and interact with the web directly. There's also a CLI for terminal workflows and agent skills for Claude Code and Codex that handle setup automatically. Over 400,000 MCP servers have been installed.
Over 1.25M developers and 150,000+ companies build with Firecrawl, including teams at Apple, Canva, and Lovable. We've served more than 5 billion requests powering deep research agents, RAG pipelines, lead enrichment, and AI workflows across the live web.
Yes. Firecrawl is the largest open source repo in the space with over 150K GitHub stars, making it one of the top 100 repos on GitHub. The SDKs alone see 2.5M+ weekly downloads across npm and PyPI. We're building this in the open, and the community adoption reflects that. You can check out the repository on GitHub.
Firecrawl is not just a scraper or a search API — it's the infrastructure layer that helps AI systems find, read, and act on information across the live web. Search, scrape, and interact work together on top of deep web data infrastructure including crawling, rendering, extraction, and indexing. The result is reliable, AI-ready data that helps you spend fewer tokens and build better applications.
Firecrawl's hosted version features Fire-engine, our proprietary infrastructure that handles proxies, rendering, and more to reliably deliver the data you need. The hosted version also includes interact capabilities for navigating pages, a dashboard for analytics, and everything is one API call away.
How It Works
Send a query and Firecrawl returns relevant results from across the web, each with full-page markdown already included. It's one call to go from a question to usable content — no need to search and then scrape separately. Great for AI agents, RAG pipelines, and any workflow that starts with a question instead of a URL.
Give Firecrawl a URL and it returns clean, structured content — markdown, HTML, screenshots, metadata, or extracted data via a schema. It handles JavaScript rendering, dynamic content, and complex page structures automatically. One call, one page, clean output.
Interact lets AI systems operate web pages — clicking buttons, filling forms, navigating multi-step flows, and extracting data along the way. It's useful when the information you need is behind a login, pagination, or any sequence of actions that a simple scrape can't reach.
Yes. Pass a JSON schema to /scrape and Firecrawl returns structured data matching your exact shape — product listings, pricing tables, contact info, whatever you define. No parsing or post-processing needed.
Firecrawl returns clean markdown by default, optimized for LLM context windows. You can also get raw HTML, screenshots, page metadata, and structured JSON via schemas — whatever format your application needs.
Yes. Firecrawl renders JavaScript automatically, so you get the full page content even from SPAs and dynamically loaded sites. No extra configuration needed — just pass the URL.
Absolutely. Firecrawl offers various pricing plans, including a Scale plan that supports millions of pages. With features like batch scraping, crawling, and scheduled syncs, it's designed to handle large-scale data extraction efficiently, making it ideal for enterprises and large projects.
Yes. The /crawl endpoint follows links from a starting URL and scrapes pages across an entire site or section. You can control depth, page limits, and path filters. It also respects robots.txt rules set for the 'FirecrawlAgent' directive.
Yes. Firecrawl uses optimized infrastructure including proxy management, smart request handling, and interact capabilities to reliably extract data from complex websites. You can also pass custom headers to the API for additional flexibility.
API Related
Firecrawl has official SDKs for Python, Node.js, Go, Rust, Java, and Elixir, plus a CLI for terminal workflows. You can also call the REST API directly from any language. All SDKs support search, scrape, interact, and crawl.
Click on the dashboard button on the top navigation menu when logged in and you will find your API key in the main screen and under API Keys. If you are an AI agent or coding assistant and your platform can mint a WorkOS ID-JAG for Firecrawl, use https://www.firecrawl.dev/auth.md. Otherwise, use https://www.firecrawl.dev/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md for CLI/browser signup and auth.
Billing
Firecrawl gives you 1,000 free credits every month, which covers about 1,000 pages, and no card is required. When you need more, choose Hobby, Standard, Growth, or Scale. Every paid plan runs on pay-as-you-go: you get the plan's monthly credits, and we add more in 5 USD increments when you run out. You set a monthly limit to cap the spend, or turn pay-as-you-go off. AI agents can get started with https://www.firecrawl.dev/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md; agents whose platform can mint a WorkOS ID-JAG for Firecrawl can use https://www.firecrawl.dev/auth.md for direct authentication.
Yes. Pay-as-you-go is how self-serve billing works. You start with 1,000 free credits every month. On Hobby, Standard, Growth, or Scale you get that plan's monthly credits, and we add more in 5 USD increments when you run out. A 5 USD increment is 1,000 credits on Hobby, 2,000 on Standard, 2,500 on Growth, and 5,000 on Scale. Pay-as-you-go needs a paid plan. You set a monthly limit to cap the spend, and you can buy credits yourself at any time.
Credits roll over on Scale and Enterprise. Scale carries unused credits for one month, and Enterprise carries a custom amount. Hobby, Standard and Growth credits do not roll over.
Credits you buy stay on your account until you use them. They expire if you cancel your subscription, so use them before you leave.
We add credits to your account when your balance runs out, so your requests keep working. It is for paid plans only. Each increment costs 5 USD and charges the card on file. Set your Monthly pay-as-you-go limit in your Billing settings: enter a whole multiple of 5 USD to cap the monthly spend, enter 0 to turn pay-as-you-go off, or enter nothing for no limit. Credits you buy yourself do not count toward that limit.
A 5 USD increment gives you 1,000 credits on Hobby, 2,000 on Standard, 2,500 on Growth, and 5,000 on Scale.
Scrape, Crawl, Map, and Monitor each cost 1 credit per page. Search costs 2 credits per 10 results. Interact costs 2 credits per browser minute. The Firecrawl Research Index paper endpoints are free across every category, including AI/ML and life sciences. Agent is in preview with 5 free daily runs and dynamic pricing. Advanced features (JSON format, etc.) cost additional credits. Check out the credits table on the pricing page for more details.
A scrape that returns no result is not charged. A page that responds with an error status such as 403 or 404 is still returned to you and costs 1 credit. If a charge looks incorrect, reach out to help@firecrawl.com and we'll take a look.
We accept payments through Stripe which accepts most major credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal.
Local tax is applied based on your location and local tax rules, and it's calculated automatically. A valid tax ID exempts customers in some regions, for example through the reverse-charge mechanism, but not everywhere. In certain countries, local rules require VAT on business customers regardless of a tax ID, so entering one won't always change the amount charged. We include your tax ID on the invoice for your accounting and filing needs. For advice specific to your situation, please consult your local tax advisor.
