firecrawl crawl

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

Prerequisite: crawl requires authentication (no keyless free tier); without credentials the CLI prompts an interactive login.

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>

Run firecrawl crawl --help for the full option list.

Done when: the crawl reaches a terminal status and the saved output under .firecrawl/ contains the expected pages.

Tips

Use --wait when you need the results immediately. It has no default timeout; use --timeout <seconds> to bound polling. Without --wait, crawl returns a job ID for async polling.
Scope crawls with --include-paths whenever the request names a section — crawl only the pages you need.
Crawl consumes credits per page. Check firecrawl credit-usage before large crawls (credit-usage requires authentication).
