Enhanced website crawler using Firecrawl's Crawl API for superior JS rendering, smart rate limiting, anti-bot bypass, and clean markdown extraction.
BYOK (Bring Your Own Key): you provide your own API credentials.
Before You Start
This actor requires your own API credentials to fetch real data.
Where to get your key: Your Firecrawl API key. Get one at firecrawl.dev
Quick Start
Run with real data
{"url": "https://example.com","maxPages": 100,"maxDepth": 5,"includeSubdomains": false,"outputFormat": "markdown","includeScreenshots": false,"firecrawlApiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"}
Input Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
url | string | - | Yes* | The website URL to crawl (e.g., https://example.com) |
maxPages | integer | 100 | No | Maximum number of pages to crawl |
maxDepth | integer | 5 | No | Maximum crawl depth from the starting URL |
includeSubdomains | boolean | false | No | Crawl subdomains of the main domain |
excludePatterns | array | - | No | URL patterns to exclude from crawling (regex supported) |
includePatterns | array | - | No | Only crawl URLs matching these patterns (regex supported) |
outputFormat | string | "markdown" | No | Format for extracted content |
includeScreenshots | boolean | false | No | Capture screenshots of each page |
waitForSelector | string | - | No | CSS selector to wait for before extracting content (for JS-heavy sites) |
country | string | - | No | Country code for geo-targeted crawling (e.g., 'US', 'GB') |
firecrawlApiKey | string | - | Yes* | Your Firecrawl API key. Get one at firecrawl.dev |
webhookUrl | string | - | No | URL to receive results via webhook when complete |
Troubleshooting
"API key is required"
- Add your API key in the input
"API error 403" or "Unauthorized"
Your API key is invalid, expired, or doesn't have access to this specific API endpoint. Double-check your key and account permissions.
"API error 429" or "Rate limit"
Too many requests. Wait a minute and try again, or reduce the number of items per run.
No results or empty dataset
Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:
- Invalid input format (check the examples above)
- API key without proper permissions
- The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track
How do I test without an API key?
Run the actor without a firecrawlApiKey, or set "demoMode": true. It returns realistic sample results labeled with demo: true and a _notice field so you can inspect the exact output shape before connecting your own key. Demo runs make no external API calls and charge no task events.
