FAQ
What command does firecrawl-map run?
The firecrawl-map skill runs the Firecrawl CLI `map` command via Bash, including `firecrawl map` or `npx firecrawl map`. It discovers URLs on a target site and supports optional `--search` filtering.
When should I use firecrawl-map instead of scraping?
Use firecrawl-map when you need a URL inventory or must find a specific subpage on a large site before scraping. Mapping reveals site structure; scraping fetches page content after you know which URLs matter.
