Platforms count differently and update at different times.
The guide lists workflows for single-page scraping, URL discovery, site crawling, search, cloud-browser sessions, and natural-language queries, along with installation and authentication. It depends on a third-party service and credentials; cloud browser sessions may retain browsing state. Before handling sensitive or authenticated content, confirm authorization and data scope, manage keys carefully, and close sessions after use.

The counting method changed in 2026-09: skills with the same name are now counted separately by author, and the full catalog is covered. Dashed lines show months before the change; they are not compared with later months, and no growth is computed across the change.

--- name: firecrawl-cli description: "Web scraping, crawling, searching, and browser automation via the Firecrawl CLI (firecrawl). Use when scraping URLs to markdown/HTML, crawling entire websites, discovering all URLs on a site, running web searches with optional scraping, launching cloud browser sessions for automation, or using the AI agent for natural-language web queries. Requires firecrawl-cli installed (npm install -g firecrawl-cli) and authentication (firecrawl login or FIRECRAWL_API_KEY env var). Triggers on: scrape URL, crawl site, map website URLs, firecrawl search, browser automation with firecrawl, web agent query." --- # Firecrawl CLI ## Installation & Auth ```bash
npm install -g firecrawl-cli firecrawl login --browser # Recommended for agents # or export FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-YOUR-KEY firecrawl --status # Verify: shows credits + concurrency ``` ## Commands Summary | Command | Purpose | |---------|---------| | `firecrawl scrape <url>` | Scrape single URL | | `firecrawl search "<query>"` | Web search (+ optional scrape) | | `firecrawl map <url>` | Discover all URLs on a site | | `firecrawl crawl <url>` | Crawl entire website (async job) | | `firecrawl browser` | Cloud browser sandbox automation | | `firecrawl agent "<prompt>"` | NL-driven web agent queries | ## Key Patterns **Scrape (most common):** ```bash firecrawl https://example.com --only-main-content # Clean markdown firecrawl https://example.com --format markdown,links # Multiple formats → JSON firecrawl https://example.com -o output.md # Save to file ``` **Crawl a docs site:** ```bash firecrawl crawl https://docs.example.com --limit 50 --max-depth 2 --wait --progress -o docs.json ``` **Browser automation (AI agents):** ```bash firecrawl browser launch-session firecrawl browser execute "open https://example.com" firecrawl browser execute "snapshot" # Returns @ref IDs firecrawl browser execute "click @e5" firecrawl browser execute "scrape" firecrawl browser close ``` **AI agent query:** ```bash firecrawl agent "Find top 5 AI startups and funding" --wait firecrawl agent "Compare pricing" --urls https://a.com,https://b.com --wait ``` ## Full Reference See [references/commands.md](references/commands.md) for all commands, options, and examples. ## Tips - Use `--only-main-content` for clean article content (removes nav/footer) - `crawl` returns a job ID immediately — use `--wait` to block or poll with job ID later - Browser `execute` default mode is agent-browser (bash) — 40+ commands, best for agents - `spark-1-mini` (default) is 60% cheaper than `spark-1-pro` for agent queries - Check concurrency limit with `--status` before parallelizing scrape jobs - Self-hosted instances skip API key auth automatically when `--api-url` is set
