Note: A new v2 version of this API is now available with improved features and performance.
The search endpoint combines web search (SERP) with Firecrawl’s scraping capabilities to return full page content for any query. Include scrapeOptions with formats: ["markdown"] to get complete markdown content for each search result otherwise you will default to getting the SERP results (url, title, description).
