firecrawl-map

You know the site but not which page on it — this pulls up the full list of its page addresses and lets you search that list for the one you want.

WHEN TO USE

SCOPE

USE FOR

Find the exact URL for a topic on a large site.
List every page address on a site before deciding what to read.
Locate a subpage without knowing the site's full structure.
Build a list of pages to hand on to a bigger collection job.

NOT FOR

Fetching a page's actual content — map only returns URLs; scrape does the fetching.

firecrawl map

Discover URLs on a site. Use --search to find a specific page within a large site.

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

Quick start

# Find a specific page on a large site
firecrawl map "<url>" --search "authentication" -o .firecrawl/filtered.txt

# Get all URLs
firecrawl map "<url>" --limit 500 --json -o .firecrawl/urls.json

Run firecrawl map --help for the full option list (sitemap handling, subdomains, etc.).

Done when: the URL list is saved under .firecrawl/ and you have selected the URLs to scrape or crawl next.

Tips

Map + scrape is a common pattern: use map --search to find the right URL, then scrape it.
Example: map https://docs.example.com --search "auth" → found /docs/api/authentication → scrape that URL.

Check selected tools if a picker appears; Claude Code may be unchecked under Additional agents. ↑/↓ moves, Space toggles selections, Enter confirms.
Without a tool picker, check Installing to: for your intended tool. Stop if it names a different tool.
If asked, choose Symlink (Recommended) for shared files or Copy to all agents for separate copies; review the summary before confirming installation.
Install the find-skills skill? defaults to Yes, adding another skill for all projects. Choose No if you don't want that extra installation.

Skills CLI 1.7.2 sends install data to skills.sh by default, including the source, skill names, target tools and file details; GitHub sources are reported only when GitHub confirms the repository is public, while other remote sources can also be reported. Confirmed-public GitHub sources also trigger a security-audit request. Before installing, set the environment variable DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 to disable both.
