Firecrawl Build Crawl

Use this when the product needs many pages from the same site, not just one.

Use This When

• the feature targets a docs section, blog, or help center

• you need bulk extraction with path or depth boundaries

• the product should ingest or refresh a site section at once

Guidance

• Keep crawl scope narrow with path, depth, or page-count constraints.

• Prefer /crawl over many manual /scrape calls when the site structure is stable.

• Treat this as secondary to /scrape , /search , and /interact unless the feature is clearly site-wide.

When Not To Use It

• If you only need one known URL, use firecrawl-build-scrape.

• If you first need to discover URLs on a single site, start with firecrawl-build-map.
