Use when the task requires navigation or no suitable ready-made workflow or data provider covers it.\nallowed-tools:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bash(firecrawl *)</li>\n<li>Bash(npx firecrawl-cli *)</li>\n</ul>\n<hr>\n<h1>firecrawl agent</h1>\n<p>AI-powered autonomous extraction. The agent navigates sites and extracts structured data (takes 2-5 minutes).</p>\n<p>Before starting autonomous extraction for structured records or listings, check <code>firecrawl search alexandria '&lt;data you need&gt;'</code> for a ready-made workflow or data provider. Inspect a matching contract with <code>firecrawl list &lt;provider&gt; &lt;capability&gt; --pretty</code> and execute with <code>firecrawl scrape --alexandria &lt;provider&gt;/&lt;capability&gt; --options '&lt;input JSON&gt;'</code> if it covers the task. Use the exact provider, capability, and input fields from that contract. Continue with Agent when no suitable tool exists or the task requires autonomous navigation.</p>\n<h2>Quick start</h2>\n<pre><code># Extract structured data\nfirecrawl agent \"extract all pricing tiers\" --wait --json -o .firecrawl/pricing.json\n\n# With a JSON schema for structured output\nfirecrawl agent \"extract products\" --schema '{\"type\":\"object\",\"properties\":{\"name\":{\"type\":\"string\"},\"price\":{\"type\":\"number\"}}}' --wait --json -o .firecrawl/products.json\n\n# Focus on specific pages\nfirecrawl agent \"get feature list\" --urls \"&lt;url&gt;\" --wait --json -o .firecrawl/features.json\n</code></pre>\n<p>Run <code>firecrawl agent --help</code> for the full option list.</p>\n<p><strong>Done when:</strong> the output file contains valid JSON answering the request — or a job ID was intentionally returned for later polling.</p>\n<h2>Alexandria providers</h2>\n<p>A run uses connected Alexandria data providers only when it starts with an Alexandria flag: <code>--alexandria</code>, <code>--toolkits &lt;slugs&gt;</code> (up to 5), <code>--max-calls &lt;n&gt;</code>, <code>--require-approval</code>, or <code>--on-terms-required skip|ask</code>. Follow-ups on its thread keep those settings.</p>\n<pre><code>firecrawl agent \"find the head of sales at &lt;company&gt;\" --toolkits apollo,crunchbase --wait --json -o .firecrawl/contacts.json\n</code></pre>\n<p>With <code>--require-approval</code> (needs <code>--mode chat</code>), a run can end on a <code>pendingApproval</code> instead of making a paid call. Ask the user, then answer it on the same thread with <code>firecrawl agent \"&lt;follow-up prompt&gt;\" --thread &lt;threadId&gt; --mode chat --approve &lt;approvalId&gt;</code> (or <code>--decline &lt;approvalId&gt;</code>). A <code>terms</code> approval only continues once the provider's terms are accepted for the organization, either in the dashboard or by showing the user <code>firecrawl alexandria terms show &lt;provider&gt;</code> and, only after they explicitly agree, running <code>firecrawl alexandria terms accept &lt;provider&gt; --terms-version &lt;version&gt; --digest &lt;digest&gt; --confirm</code> with the version and digest it returned. Approving does not accept them.</p>\n<h2>Job IDs</h2>\n<p>Omitting <code>--wait</code> returns a job ID. A UUID positional argument is auto-detected as a status check:</p>\n<pre><code># Check once (equivalent to adding --status)\nfirecrawl agent \"&lt;job-id&gt;\"\n\n# Wait on an existing job, polling every 10 seconds for up to 5 minutes\nfirecrawl agent \"&lt;job-id&gt;\" --wait --poll-interval 10 --timeout 300\n\n# Cancel an active job\nfirecrawl agent \"&lt;job-id&gt;\" --cancel\n</code></pre>\n<h2>Tips</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Use <code>--wait</code> for inline results; omit it only when you want a job ID to poll later (see <a href=\"#job-ids\">Job IDs</a>).</li>\n<li>Use <code>--schema</code> for predictable, structured output — otherwise the agent returns freeform data.</li>\n<li>Agent runs consume more credits than simple scrapes. Use <code>--max-credits</code> to cap spending.</li>\n<li>For simple single-page extraction, prefer <code>scrape</code> — it's faster and cheaper.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>See also</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"../firecrawl-scrape/SKILL.md\">firecrawl-scrape</a> — simpler single-page extraction</li>\n<li><a href=\"../firecrawl-interact/SKILL.md\">firecrawl-interact</a> — scrape + interact for manual page interaction (more control)</li>\n<li><a href=\"../firecrawl-crawl/SKILL.md\">firecrawl-crawl</a> — bulk extraction without AI</li>\n<li><a href=\"https://github.com/firecrawl/skills/tree/main/skills/build/firecrawl-build-scrape\">firecrawl-build-scrape</a> — building structured extraction into an app instead of running it here</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Alexandria session feedback</h2>\n<p>To report an Alexandria session outcome or a provider/capability gap, use <code>firecrawl alexandria feedback --rating good|partial|bad --url &lt;website&gt; --requested-functionality '&lt;what was needed&gt;' --objective '&lt;the underlying goal of the task&gt;' --rationale '&lt;what happened&gt;' --json</code>. Use observed results in the rationale. No job ID is needed; send it within 20 minutes of your last Alexandria search, discovery, or execution, or it is rejected. Each submission refunds 1 credit, up to 10 per website and 100 per team each UTC day. Optional <code>--provider-feedback</code> and <code>--capability-feedback</code> JSON arrays describe specific gaps; inspect <code>firecrawl alexandria feedback --help</code> for their fields. Use the capability issue <code>missing_capability</code> when a provider exists but lacks the needed capability, and <code>new_capability_request</code> (with <code>requestedFunctionality</code>) to ask for one.</p>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":4930,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
