When to Use

Use this tool when you need to starts a crawl job on a website and extracts content from all pages.

best for: extracting content from multiple related pages, when you need comprehensive coverage. not recommended for: extracting content from a single page (use scrape); when token limits are a concern (use map + batch_scrape); when you need fast results (crawling can be slow). warning: crawl responses can be very large and may exceed token limits. limit the crawl depth and number of pages, or use map + batch_scrape for better control. common mistakes: setting limit or maxdiscoverydepth too high (causes token overflow) or too low (causes missing pages); using crawl for a single page (use scrape instead). using a /* wildcard is not recommended. prompt example: "get all blog posts from the first two levels of example.com/blog." usage example:

{
  "name": "firecrawl_crawl",
  "arguments": {
    "url": "https://example.com/blog/*",
    "maxdiscoverydepth": 5,
    "limit": 20,
    "allowexternallinks": false,
    "deduplicatesimilarurls": true,
    "sitemap": "include"
  }
}

returns: operation id for status checking; use firecrawl_check_crawl_status to check progress. safe mode: read-only crawling. webhooks and interactive actions are disabled for security. . This is part of the Firecrawl provider on xpay✦.
