Overview
This node integrates with the Firecrawl API to retrieve data. It is designed to fetch and transform data from Firecrawl, which can be useful in workflows that require external data enrichment, aggregation, or transformation based on Firecrawl's capabilities. Typical use cases include automating data retrieval for analytics, reporting, or feeding other systems with up-to-date information from Firecrawl.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Use Custom Body | Whether to send a custom request body instead of the default one |
The node supports a boolean property "Use Custom Body" that allows users to specify if they want to provide their own custom request body when making API calls, offering flexibility for advanced use cases.
Output
The node outputs JSON data received from the Firecrawl API. The structure of the output depends on the specific API response but generally contains the requested data in JSON format. There is no indication that the node handles binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Firecrawl API.
- The base URL for the API defaults to
https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2but can be overridden via credentials configuration. - The node sends requests with headers specifying JSON content type and expects JSON responses.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: Ensure that a valid API key credential is configured correctly.
- Invalid request body: If "Use Custom Body" is enabled, verify that the custom body is properly formatted as JSON.
- Network issues: Check connectivity to the Firecrawl API endpoint and any firewall restrictions.
- Unexpected API responses: Confirm that the API version and endpoints used are current and supported.
