AI-powered autonomous data extraction that navigates complex sites and returns structured JSON. Use this skill when the user wants structured data from websites, needs to extract pricing tiers, product listings, directory entries, or any data as JSON with a schema. Triggers on "extract structured data", "get all the products", "pull pricing info", "extract as JSON", or when the user provides a JSON schema for website data. More powerful than simple scraping for multi-page structured extraction.

🧩 One of 7 skills in the firecrawl/firecrawl-cursor-plugin package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

firecrawl agent

AI-powered autonomous extraction. The agent navigates sites and extracts structured data (takes 2-5 minutes).

Job IDs

Omitting --wait returns a job ID. A UUID positional argument is auto-detected as a status check:

# Check once (equivalent to adding --status)
firecrawl agent "<job-id>"

# Wait on an existing job, polling every 10 seconds for up to 5 minutes
firecrawl agent "<job-id>" --wait --poll-interval 10 --timeout 300

# Cancel an active job
firecrawl agent "<job-id>" --cancel

Tips

  • Use --wait for inline results; omit it only when you want a job ID to poll later (see Job IDs).
  • Use --schema for predictable, structured output — otherwise the agent returns freeform data.
  • Agent runs consume more credits than simple scrapes. Use --max-credits to cap spending.
  • For simple single-page extraction, prefer scrape — it's faster and cheaper.
