firecrawl download (invoked as firecrawl x download )
Experimental. download is available under the firecrawl x command group.
Prerequisite: download requires authentication (no keyless free tier); without credentials the CLI prompts an interactive login.
Maps the site origin first to discover pages, then scrapes each one into nested directories under .firecrawl/ . Use include paths to scope a non root URL to one section. Automated runs always pass y — without it the command opens an interactive wizard that blocks on a prompt.
Quick start
Run firecrawl x download help for the full option list, including which scrape options download supports.
Done when: the command exits successfully and the expected files exist under .firecrawl/ .
