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
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).
