Firecrawl Policy Guardrails

Overview

Automated guardrails for Firecrawl scraping pipelines. Web scraping carries legal (robots.txt, ToS), ethical (rate limiting, attribution), and cost (credit burn) risks. This skill implements domain blocklists, credit budgets, content quality gates, and per-domain rate limits as enforceable policies.

Instructions

Step 1: Domain Policy Enforcement

import FirecrawlApp from "@mendable/firecrawl-js";

const firecrawl = new FirecrawlApp({
  apiKey: process.env.FIRECRAWL_API_KEY!,
});

class ScrapePolicy {
  // Domains that explicitly prohibit scraping in their ToS
  static BLOCKED_DOMAINS = [
    "facebook.com", "instagram.com",  // Meta ToS
    "linkedin.com",                    // LinkedIn ToS
    "twitter.com", "x.com",           // X/Twitter ToS
  ];

  // Domains with sensitive/regulated content
  static SENSITIVE_DOMAINS = [
    "*.gov", "*.mil",                 // Government
    "*.edu",                          // Educational (FERPA)
  ];

  static validateUrl(url: string): void {
    const hostname = new URL(url).hostname;

     ( blocked  .) {
       (hostname === blocked || hostname.()) {
          ();
      }
    }

     ( pattern  .) {
       regex =  ( + pattern.(, ) + );
       (regex.(hostname)) {
        .();
      }
    }
  }
}

    {
  () {
    (message);
    . = ;
  }
}
