firecrawl crawl

Bulk extract content from a website. Crawls pages following links up to a depth/limit.

When to use

  • You need content from many pages on a site (e.g., all /docs/)
  • You want to extract an entire site section
  • Step 4 in the workflow escalation pattern: search → scrape → map → crawl → interact

Quick start

# Crawl a docs section
firecrawl crawl "<url>" --include-paths /docs --limit 50 --wait -o .firecrawl/crawl.json

# Full crawl with depth limit
firecrawl crawl "<url>" --max-depth 3 --wait --progress -o .firecrawl/crawl.json

# Check status of a running crawl
firecrawl crawl <job-id>

Options

Option Description
--wait Wait for crawl to complete before returning
--progress Show progress while waiting
--limit <n> Max pages to crawl
--max-depth <n> Max link depth to follow
--include-paths <paths> Only crawl URLs matching these paths
--exclude-paths <paths> Skip URLs matching these paths
--delay <ms> Delay between requests
--max-concurrency <n> Max parallel crawl workers
--pretty Pretty print JSON output
-o, --output <path> Output file path

Tips

  • Always use --wait when you need the results immediately. Without it, crawl returns a job ID for async polling.
  • Use --include-paths to scope the crawl — don't crawl an entire site when you only need one section.
  • Crawl consumes credits per page. Check firecrawl credit-usage before large crawls.
