firecrawl download (invoked as firecrawl x download)

\n
\n

Experimental. download is available under the firecrawl x command group.

\n
\n

Prerequisite: download requires authentication (no keyless free tier); without credentials the CLI prompts an interactive login.

\n

Maps the site origin first to discover pages, then scrapes each one into nested directories under .firecrawl/. Use --include-paths to scope a non-root URL to one section. Automated runs always pass -y — without it the command opens an interactive wizard that blocks on a prompt.

\n

Quick start

\n
# With screenshots\nfirecrawl x download https://docs.example.com --screenshot --limit 20 -y\n\n# Multiple formats (each saved as its own file per page)\nfirecrawl x download https://docs.example.com --format markdown,links --screenshot --limit 20 -y\n# Creates per page: index.md + links.txt + screenshot.png\n\n# Filter to specific sections\nfirecrawl x download https://docs.example.com --include-paths \"/features,/sdks\" -y\n\n# Skip translations\nfirecrawl x download https://docs.example.com --exclude-paths \"/zh,/ja,/fr,/es,/pt-BR\" -y\n
\n

Run firecrawl x download --help for the full option list, including which scrape options download supports.

\n

Done when: the command exits successfully and the expected files exist under .firecrawl/.
