AI-powered autonomous extraction. The agent navigates sites and extracts structured data (takes 2-5 minutes).
When to use
- You need structured data from complex multi-page sites
- Manual scraping would require navigating many pages
- You want the AI to figure out where the data lives
Quick start
# Extract structured data
firecrawl agent "extract all pricing tiers" --wait -o .firecrawl/pricing.json
# With a JSON schema for structured output
firecrawl agent "extract products" --schema '{"type":"object","properties":{"name":{"type":"string"},"price":{"type":"number"}}}' --wait -o .firecrawl/products.json
firecrawl agent "get feature list" --urls "" --wait -o .firecrawl/features.json
## Options
| Option | Description |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `--urls <urls>` | Starting URLs for the agent |
| `--model <model>` | Model to use: spark-1-mini or spark-1-pro |
| `--schema <json>` | JSON schema for structured output |
| `--schema-file <path>` | Path to JSON schema file |
| `--max-credits <n>` | Credit limit for this agent run |
| `--wait` | Wait for agent to complete |
| `--pretty` | Pretty print JSON output |
| `-o, --output <path>` | Output file path |
## Tips
- Always use `--wait` to get results inline. Without it, returns a job ID.
- Use `--schema` for predictable, structured output — otherwise the agent returns freeform data.
- Agent runs consume more credits than simple scrapes. Use `--max-credits` to cap spending.
- For simple single-page extraction, prefer `scrape` — it's faster and cheaper.
