Firecrawl SDK Installation and Authentication

Overview

Make the client dependency, v2 surface, identity owner, and secret path explicit. Do not preserve the legacy method surface merely because an old package still resolves.

Prerequisites

• The target repository or integration path and the requested operator outcome.
• The source authorization, data classification, and environment policy.
• Current Firecrawl documentation, credentials only when needed, and an owner for approvals.

Current Contract

Current first-party docs install the Node package as firecrawl and construct the named Firecrawl client; the underlying published SDK is maintained in firecrawl/firecrawl. Python installs firecrawl-py and imports Firecrawl. Top-level clients default to v2, while feature-frozen v1 compatibility is separate. REST Cloud requests use Bearer keys.
