The Firecrawl API gives you programmatic access to web data. All endpoints share a common base URL, authentication scheme, and response format described on this page.

Base URL

All requests use the following base URL:

​
Authentication

Requests need an Authorization header with your API key, except on the keyless endpoints described below:
You can find your API key in the Firecrawl dashboard. A few endpoints, including /v2/scrape, /v2/search and /v2/parse, also work without a key, with limits. To call them keyless, leave the Authorization header out entirely, because a header with an empty token returns 401. See No API key (keyless) for the full list. To let users connect their own Firecrawl account to your app instead, use OAuth for apps. Authentication compares every option. If you are an agent without an API key, start with Get credentials. If your platform supports WorkOS ID-JAG, use auth.md for registration instructions.

​
Response codes

Firecrawl uses conventional HTTP status codes to indicate the outcome of your requests. Codes in the 2xx range indicate success, 4xx codes indicate client errors, and 5xx codes indicate server errors. See Errors for the full reference, including the error string returned for each failure mode, retry guidance, and a copy-pasteable backoff snippet.

​
429 responses

When you exceed your plan’s rate or concurrency limits, the API returns a 429 status code. See Rate Limits for per-plan limits and Errors for retry guidance.
