Launch Week I / Day 2: 2x Rate Limits
Welcome to Day 2 of Firecrawl’s inaugural Launch Week! We’re thrilled to keep the momentum going with another exciting announcement that will significantly boost your scraping capabilities.
Introducing: Doubled Rate Limits
Today, we’re doubling the rate limits for our /scrape endpoint across all plans. This means you can now collect twice as much data in the same amount of time, supercharging your data collection projects.
Here’s a breakdown of the new limits:
- Free Plan: Now 10 requests/minute
- Hobby Plan: Now 20 requests/minute
- Standard Plan: Now 100 requests/minute
- Growth Plan: Now 1000 requests/minute
Why We’re Doing This
We’ve heard your feedback loud and clear. Many of you have been pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with scraping, and we want to support your ambitions. By doubling our rate limits, we’re enabling you to tackle larger projects, scrape more frequently, and ultimately, derive more value from our platform.
Important Note
These increased limits apply to our main scraping endpoint. The crawling endpoint limits remain unchanged at 1, 3, 10, and 50 requests per minute for Free, Hobby, Standard, and Growth plans respectively.
What’s Next?
We’re just getting started! Keep an eye out for more exciting announcements in the coming days of Launch Week.
Happy scraping, and see you tomorrow for Day 3 of Launch Week!
