Firecrawl Toolkit
Firecrawl is a web-scraping and crawling service; this toolkit lets Arcade agents read, search, and extract structured data from the web by calling Firecrawl's API.
Capabilities
- Single-page and multi-page reading: Scrape one known URL or crawl an entire site, collecting each page's content with configurable depth and wait behavior.
- Site mapping: List all URLs on a website without fetching page content, useful for planning targeted scrapes or crawls.
- Structured data extraction: Describe the fields you want (products, prices, contacts) in plain language and retrieve them as structured records instead of raw page text.
- Web and specialized search: Search the open web, developer documentation and repositories, GitHub issues, or published scientific papers (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv) — each via a dedicated tool optimized for that corpus.
- Async job management: Long-running crawls and extractions return a
job_id; dedicated status, data-retrieval, and cancel tools let agents poll or stop jobs at any point.
Secrets
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY — A Firecrawl API key that authenticates every request to the Firecrawl service. Obtain it by signing in to the Firecrawl dashboard, navigating to the API Keys section, and creating a new key. The free tier issues keys with rate-limited access; higher-volume usage requires a paid plan. Copy the key immediately after creation — Firecrawl does not display it again.

Operations
Behavior
| Tool name | Description | Secrets | |
|---|---|---|---|
Stop a crawl that is still running.
Pages the crawl already collected stay available through GetCrawlData. | 1 | ||
Read many pages of one website and return each page's content.
A crawl that outruns wait_seconds keeps running: the result carries its
job_id, and GetCrawlStatus, GetCrawlData, and CancelCrawl take it from there. | 1 | ||
Collect structured records from the web from a plain-language description.
Use this when the answer is fields such as products, prices, or contacts.
Use ScrapeUrl or CrawlWebsite when the answer is the page text itself. An
extraction that outruns wait_seconds keeps running, and GetExtractStatus
takes its job_id. | 1 | ||
Read the pages a crawl has collected so far. | 1 | ||
Check how far a crawl has progressed, without fetching its pages. | 1 | ||
Collect the results of an extraction that is already running. | 1 | ||
List the URLs on a website, without reading the pages.
Use CrawlWebsite to read the content of many pages, or ScrapeUrl for one. | 1 | ||
Read one web page whose URL is already known and return its content.
Use Search instead when the URL is unknown, MapWebsite to list a site's
URLs, CrawlWebsite to read many pages of one site, and ExtractData to pull
structured fields rather than page text. | 1 | ||
Search the web and optionally read each result page in the same call.
Use this when no URL is known yet. Use SearchResearchPapers for scientific
literature and SearchDeveloperDocs for API and code documentation. | 1 | ||
Search developer documentation and repositories, quoting the text that matched.
Use this to answer a question about how a library or API works. Use Search
for the open web, and SearchGithubIssues to look only at issues. | 1 | ||
Search GitHub issues across indexed repositories.
Use SearchDeveloperDocs instead to search documentation, READMEs, and pull
requests alongside issues. | 1 | ||
Search published scientific papers and return their abstracts.
This reads a corpus of paper records drawn from PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv,
and arXiv. To find ordinary web pages that happen to sit on academic sites,
use Search narrowed to research instead. | 1 |
