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.

This comprehensive reference architecture details a multi-stage pipeline for web scraping and content ingestion using Firecrawl. It seamlessly integrates single-page scraping, site-wide crawling, URL mapping, and structured data extraction. The subsequent processing layer handles cleaning, deduplication, and chunking, making this blueprint ideal for designing robust knowledge bases, RAG systems, and complex AI data pipelines.

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 skill provides deep web scraping capabilities, allowing users to extract complex content, take screenshots, and parse PDFs from web pages. It handles advanced interactions like clicking and scrolling, making it ideal for detailed data gathering, batch URL processing, and complex web content analysis.

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.

Comprehensive guide for upgrading the Firecrawl SDK and migrating between major API versions (v0 to v1/v2). It details breaking changes across key functions like `crawlUrl`, `scrapeUrl`, and the new extract schema format. Use this when updating dependencies or transitioning from legacy API structures to the latest v2 standard.

Master the implementation of Firecrawl webhooks for robust, real-time handling of asynchronous crawling and batch scraping jobs. Instead of inefficiently polling the crawl status, configure webhook endpoints to receive instant POST events (e.g., `crawl.page`, `crawl.completed`). This guide covers event types, signature verification using HMAC-SHA256, and processing streamed data for building advanced data pipelines.

Leverages firecrawl and exa MCP tools to run focused multi-source searches, scrape key documents, and synthesize citation-backed reports whenever a user needs thorough evidence-based research on any topic.

Full-site crawling, scraping, and site mapping via Firecrawl MCP. Use for SEO audits, broken link detection, SPA content extraction, and site structure discovery. Automates web crawling tasks with JavaScript rendering and credit-efficient mapping.

This skill guides the design of robust, production-grade data extraction pipelines, moving beyond brittle one-off scripts. It supports three modes: API-driven web scraping (Firecrawl), traditional local Python extraction (PDF, CSV), and hybrid workflows. Key features include intelligent routing, mandatory data validation, secure key management, and adherence to scraping best practices.
