Firecrawl Crawl

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.

File contents

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.
