This guide outlines how to implement robust Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for Firecrawl scraping resources. It allows enterprises to manage multiple API keys, enforce per-team credit consumption limits, and restrict scraping to specific allowed domains (allowlisting). Use this when scaling scraping operations across various departments or services that require granular resource governance and budget tracking.

A comprehensive runbook providing systematic procedures for responding to Firecrawl API outages and integration failures. It guides technical teams through triage, diagnosis, and mitigation for common issues (e.g., 401, 429, 5xx errors). Includes steps for fallback implementation, evidence collection, and postmortem documentation to ensure rapid service recovery.

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for setting up the Firecrawl SDK, covering both Node.js and Python environments. It details how to install the necessary packages via npm or pip, and how to securely configure the API key using environment variables. Use this guide when initializing web scraping functionality or integrating Firecrawl into a new development project.

This comprehensive guide identifies common anti-patterns and integration mistakes when using Firecrawl for web scraping and content extraction. It serves as a vital code review checklist, helping developers avoid pitfalls such as unbounded crawling, unspecified output formats, or aggressive API polling, ensuring robust and efficient data pipelines.

This comprehensive guide details how to set up a robust, local development environment for Firecrawl integrations. It utilizes self-hosted Docker containers and Redis to eliminate reliance on paid API credits during development. The setup supports both unit testing (with mocked SDK) and full integration testing against the local instance, ensuring a seamless and efficient workflow for scraping and web data extraction projects.

A comprehensive guide for migrating web scraping pipelines from tools like Puppeteer, Playwright, and Cheerio to Firecrawl. This skill demonstrates how to replace complex, browser-intensive code with simple API calls, handling single-page scraping, structured data extraction using LLMs, and large-scale site crawling, while eliminating the need for manual browser management and anti-bot workarounds.

This guide details how to configure Firecrawl for reliable multi-environment operations (Development, Staging, Production). It addresses critical operational concerns, such as managing credit budgets and ensuring separation between environments. Users learn how to implement self-hosted Docker setups for development, manage environment-specific API keys, and integrate safe scraping wrappers into CI/CD pipelines.

This comprehensive guide details advanced techniques to significantly boost Firecrawl scraping speed and efficiency. Learn how to optimize performance by selecting the most efficient output formats (e.g., Markdown over HTML), implementing URL caching, utilizing batch scraping for multiple URLs, and tuning delay parameters for dynamic Single Page Applications (SPAs). Mastering these methods is crucial for building high-throughput, cost-effective web scraping pipelines.

A comprehensive guide to handling external API rate limits (429 errors) when using Firecrawl. This skill demonstrates advanced techniques like exponential backoff with jitter, request queuing using p-queue, and proactive throttling methods. It ensures resilient and efficient API integration for large-scale scraping projects.

A comprehensive guide to implementing production-grade reliability patterns for web scraping pipelines using Firecrawl. Learn techniques such as circuit breakers, crawl fallbacks, content quality validation, and robust backoff strategies to handle timeouts, API failures, and inconsistent data quality, ensuring maximum uptime and data integrity.

This guide provides production-ready patterns for integrating the Firecrawl SDK in TypeScript and Python. It covers essential architectural best practices, such as implementing singleton clients, typed service wrappers, automatic retries with exponential backoff, concurrency management, and robust response validation using Zod. Ideal for building scalable, reliable web scraping services.

This guide outlines essential security best practices for integrating Firecrawl. It covers secure API key storage (using environment variables and .gitignore), verifying webhook signatures with HMAC-SHA256 for data integrity, implementing key rotation strategies across different environments (dev/staging/prod), and sanitizing scraped content to mitigate XSS and PII risks. Essential for building secure, production-grade systems.
