Autonomous web data gathering powered by AI.
Base URL#
All requests use the following base URL:
Authentication#
Every request requires an Authorization header with your API key:
Include this header in all API calls. You can find your API key in the Firecrawl dashboard.
If you are an agent without an API key, start with Get credentials. If your platform supports WorkOS ID-JAG, use auth.md for registration instructions.
Response codes#
Firecrawl uses conventional HTTP status codes to indicate the outcome of your requests. Codes in the 2xx range indicate success, 4xx codes indicate client errors, and 5xx codes indicate server errors.
See Errors for the full reference, including the error string returned for each failure mode, retry guidance, and a copy-pasteable backoff snippet.
429 responses#
When you exceed your plan's rate or concurrency limits, the API returns a 429 status code. See Rate Limits for per-plan limits and Errors for retry guidance.
