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
You can test with Demo Mode first (free, no key needed) to see the output format before committing.
Quick Start
Test with Demo Mode (free, no API key needed)
{"demoMode": true,"url": "https://example.com","includeSubdomains": ["example.com"]}
Run with real data
{"demoMode": false,"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 |
demoMode | boolean | true | No | Run in demo mode with sample data (no API key required). Set to false when using your own Firecrawl API key. |
*Required when Demo Mode is off.
Troubleshooting
"API key is required"
You have Demo Mode turned off but didn't provide an API key. Either:
- Turn Demo Mode on to test with sample data
- 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?
Enable Demo Mode in the input. This returns realistic sample data so you can verify the output format works for your workflow.
