firecrawl agent
AI-powered autonomous extraction. The agent navigates sites and extracts structured data (takes 2-5 minutes).
When to use
- You need structured data from complex multi-page sites
- Manual scraping would require navigating many pages
- You want the AI to figure out where the data lives
Quick start
firecrawl agent "extract all pricing tiers" --wait -o .firecrawl/pricing.json
firecrawl agent "extract products" --schema '{"type":"object","properties":{"name":{"type":"string"},"price":{"type":"number"}}}' --wait -o .firecrawl/products.json
firecrawl agent "get feature list" --urls "<url>" --wait -o .firecrawl/features.json
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|
--urls <urls> | Starting URLs for the agent |
--model <model> | Model to use: spark-1-mini or spark-1-pro |
--schema <json> | JSON schema for structured output |
--schema-file <path> | Path to JSON schema file |
--max-credits <n> | Credit limit for this agent run |
--wait | Wait for agent to complete |
--pretty | Pretty print JSON output |
-o, --output <path> | Output file path |
Tips
- Always use
--wait to get results inline. Without it, returns a job ID.
- Use
--schema for predictable, structured output — otherwise the agent returns freeform data.
- Agent runs consume more credits than simple scrapes. Use
--max-credits to cap spending.
- Use scrape for single-page extraction; it is faster and cheaper.
