Firecrawl Governed Ingestion Architecture

Overview

Create explicit trust boundaries from request intake through deletion. Keep source discovery, content retrieval, validation, and downstream publication independently retryable and auditable.

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

Firecrawl v2 provides scrape, crawl, map, search, batch scrape, parse, JSON extraction, agentic, and browser surfaces with different async, credit, retention, and availability contracts. The SDK can auto-wait and paginate, while explicit start/status methods support durable orchestration. Provider webhooks supplement but do not replace reconciliation.
