Installation

Summary

Download entire websites as organized local files in multiple formats.

Maps site structure first, then scrapes each discovered page into nested directories under .firecrawl/, supporting markdown, links, screenshots, and custom format combinations
Filters pages by path patterns (--include-paths, --exclude-paths), search queries, subdomain inclusion, and page limits to control scope
All standard scrape options work with download: format selection, full-page screenshots, main-content extraction, tag filtering, and language/country targeting
Use -y flag to skip confirmation prompts in automated workflows

firecrawl download (invoked as `firecrawl x download`)

Experimental. download is available under the firecrawl x command group.

Prerequisite: download requires authentication (no keyless free tier); without credentials the CLI prompts an interactive login.

Maps the site origin first to discover pages, then scrapes each one into nested directories under .firecrawl/. Use --include-paths to scope a non-root URL to one section. Automated runs always pass -y — without it the command opens an interactive wizard that blocks on a prompt.
