Firecrawl

Tool

firecrawl_map

Map a website to discover all indexed URLs on the site. **Best for:** Discovering URLs on a website before deciding what to scrape; finding specific sections or pages within a large site; locating the correct page when scrape returns empty or incomplete results. **Not recommended for:** When you already know which specific URL you need (use scrape); when you need the content of the pages (use scrape after mapping). **Common mistakes:** Using crawl to discover URLs instead of map; jumping straight to firecrawl_agent when scrape fails instead of using map first to find the right page. **IMPORTANT - Use map before agent:** If `firecrawl_scrape` returns empty, minimal, or irrelevant content, use `firecrawl_map` with the `search` parameter to find the specific page URL containing your target content. This is faster and cheaper than using `firecrawl_agent`. Only use the agent as a last resort after map+scrape fails. **Prompt Example:** "Find the webhook documentation page on this API docs site." **Usage Example (discover all URLs):** ```json { "name": "firecrawl_map", "arguments": { "url": "https://example.com" } } ``` **Usage Example (search for specific content - RECOMMENDED when scrape fails):** ```json { "name": "firecrawl_map", "arguments": { "url": "https://docs.example.com/api", "search": "webhook events" } } ``` **Returns:** Array of URLs found on the site, filtered by search query if provided.
