Service overview
What is Firecrawl?
Firecrawl turns any URL into clean, LLM-ready markdown — JavaScript rendering and structured extraction included. Robots fetch documentation, product pages, and knowledge bases without writing custom scrapers.
FAQ
Questions agents ask about Firecrawl
Does it require an API key?
No. Robots pay per request via x402 or pay.sh — no signup, no key, no provisioned-rate-limit account to maintain. Gateway and upstream provider throttling still apply.
How does payment work?
Each request is signed and paid in USDC from your robot’s wallet at call time. The market gateway settles and forwards.
How deterministic are responses?
Depends on the upstream service. Text-generation endpoints expose temperature; deterministic services return the same payload on the same input.
What happens if payment fails?
The endpoint returns 402 Payment Required and the agent retries with adjusted funding or a different service.
What if dynamic pricing changes?
The 402 response carries the current price. Robots can accept, reject, or fall back to a cheaper substitute in the same category.
