Announcing FIRE-1, Our Web Action Agent: Launch Week III - Day 2

Welcome to Launch Week III, Day 2! Today we’re thrilled to announce FIRE-1, our first web action agent designed to turbocharge scraping experience.
Meet FIRE-1: Intelligent Navigation and Interaction
FIRE-1 brings a new level of intelligence to Firecrawl, enhancing your scraping tasks by navigating complex website structures, interacting with dynamic content, and more. This powerful AI agent ensures comprehensive data extraction beyond traditional scraping methods.
This agent doesn’t just scrape — it takes actions to uncover the data you need, even when it’s hidden behind interactions like logins, button clicks, or modal windows.
Uncover Data with AI-Powered Actions
With FIRE-1, you can:
- Interact with buttons, links, and dynamic elements.
- Bring intelligent interaction to your scraping workflows — no manual steps required.
How to Enable FIRE-1
Activating FIRE-1 is straightforward. Simply include an agent
object in your scrape API request:
"agent": {
"model": "FIRE-1",
"prompt": "Your detailed navigation instructions here."
}
Note: The prompt
field is required for scrape requests, instructing FIRE-1 precisely how to interact with the webpage.
Example Usage with Scrape Endpoint
Here’s a quick example using FIRE-1 with the scrape endpoint to paginate through product listings:
curl -X POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v1/scrape \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
-d '{
"url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies",
"formats": ["markdown"],
"agent": {
"model": "FIRE-1",
"prompt": "Search for firecrawl and go to the company page."
}
}'
In this scenario, FIRE-1 intelligently fills out search forms and clicks around the website to find the desired page.
Considerations
- Using FIRE-1 may consume more credits based on task complexity and interaction depth.
- Ensure your prompts clearly guide FIRE-1 to optimize results and efficiency.
