--- name: firecrawl-crawl description: | Bulk extract content from an entire website or site section. Use this skill when the user wants to crawl a site, extract all pages from a docs section, bulk-scrape multiple pages following links, or says "crawl", "get all the pages", "extract everything under /docs", "bulk extract", or needs content from many pages on the same site. Handles depth limits, path filtering, and concurrent extraction. allowed-tools: - Bash(firecrawl *) - Bash(npx firecrawl *) --- # firecrawl crawl Bulk extract content from a website. Crawls pages following links up to a depth/limit. ## When to use - You need content from many pages on a site (e.g., all `/docs/`) - You want to extract an entire site section - Step 4 in the [workflow escalation pattern](firecrawl-cli): search → scrape → map → **crawl** → interact ## Quick start ```bash # Crawl a docs section firecrawl crawl "" --include-paths /docs --limit 50 --wait -o .firecrawl/crawl.json # Full crawl with depth limit firecrawl crawl "" --max-depth 3 --wait --progress -o .firecrawl/crawl.json # Check status of a running crawl firecrawl crawl ``` ## Options | Option | Description | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | `--wait` | Wait for crawl to complete before returning | | `--progress` | Show progress while waiting | | `--limit ` | Max pages to crawl | | `--max-depth ` | Max link depth to follow | | `--include-paths ` | Only crawl URLs matching these paths | | `--exclude-paths ` | Skip URLs matching these paths | | `--delay ` | Delay between requests | | `--max-concurrency ` | Max parallel crawl workers | | `--pretty` | Pretty print JSON output | | `-o, --output ` | Output file path | ## Tips - Always use `--wait` when you need the results immediately. Without it, crawl returns a job ID for async polling. - Use `--include-paths` to scope the crawl — don't crawl an entire site when you only need one section. - Crawl consumes credits per page. Check `firecrawl credit-usage` before large crawls. ## See also - [firecrawl-scrape](../firecrawl-scrape/SKILL.md) — scrape individual pages - [firecrawl-map](../firecrawl-map/SKILL.md) — discover URLs before deciding to crawl - [firecrawl-download](../firecrawl-download/SKILL.md) — download site to local files (uses map + scrape)
