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>

Run `firecrawl crawl --help` for the full option list.

**Done when:** the crawl reaches a terminal status and the saved output under `.firecrawl/` contains the expected pages.

Tips

Use `--wait` when you need the results immediately. It has no default timeout; use `--timeout <seconds>` to bound polling. Without `--wait`, crawl returns a job ID for async polling.
**Scope crawls with `--include-paths`** whenever the request names a section — crawl only the pages you need.
Crawl consumes credits per page. Check `firecrawl credit-usage` before large crawls (`credit-usage` requires authentication).
