Discover URLs on a site. Use --search to find a specific page within a large site.
Prerequisite: map requires authentication (no keyless free tier); without credentials the CLI prompts an interactive login.
Quick start
# Find a specific page on a large site
firecrawl map "<url>" --search "authentication" -o .firecrawl/filtered.txt
# Get all URLs
firecrawl map "<url>" --limit 500 --json -o .firecrawl/urls.json
Run firecrawl map --help for the full option list (sitemap handling, subdomains, etc.).
Done when: the URL list is saved under .firecrawl/ and you have selected the URLs to scrape or crawl next.
Tips
- Map + scrape is a common pattern: use
map --searchto find the right URL, thenscrapeit. - Example:
map https://docs.example.com --search "auth"→ found/docs/api/authentication→scrapethat URL.
