Bulk extract content from an entire website or site section. Use this skill when the user wants to crawl a site, extract all pages from a docs section, bulk-scrape multiple pages following links, or says "crawl", "get all the pages", "extract everything under /docs", "bulk extract", or needs content from many pages on the same site. Handles depth limits, path filtering, and concurrent extraction.
This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates โ you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.
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.
Tips
- Use
--waitwhen 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-pathswhenever the request names a section โ crawl only the pages you need. - Crawl consumes credits per page. Check
firecrawl credit-usagebefore large crawls (credit-usagerequires authentication).

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.
