firecrawl map

Discover URLs on a site. Use --search to find a specific page within a large site.

When to use

You need to find a specific subpage on a large site
You want a list of all URLs on a site before scraping or crawling
Step 3 in the workflow escalation pattern: search → scrape → map → crawl → interact

Quick start

# Find a specific page on a large site
firecrawl map "<url>" --search "authentication" -o .firecrawl/filtered.txt

# Get all URLs
firecrawl map "<url>" --limit 500 --json -o .firecrawl/urls.json

Options

| Option | Description | | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------- | | --limit <n> | Max number of URLs to return | | --search <query> | Filter URLs by search query | | --sitemap <include\|skip\|only> | Sitemap handling strategy | | --include-subdomains | Include subdomain URLs | | --json | Output as JSON | | -o, --output <path> | Output file path |

Tips

Map + scrape is a common pattern: use map --search to find the right URL, then scrape it.
Example: map https://docs.example.com --search "auth" → found /docs/api/authentication → scrape that URL.
