要点
Bulk extract content from entire websites or site sections with depth and path filtering.
- Crawls pages following links up to configurable depth limits and page counts, with path inclusion/exclusion filters to scope extraction
- Supports async job polling or synchronous waiting with progress display via
--waitand--progressflags - Offers concurrency control, request delays, and JSON output formatting for integration into agent workflows
- Part of a four-step escalation pattern: search → scrape → map → crawl, used when single-page extraction is insufficient

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
# 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>
