How do I extract structured data from a page?

Short answer: Drop the "FirecrawlExtract Structured Data" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.

Inputs

The fields this action accepts.

Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
URL
url
stringRequiredFully-qualified URL of the page to extract from.
Extraction Prompt
prompt
stringOptionalOptional natural-language description of what to extract. Either Prompt or Schema (or both) must be set — Prompt alone lets the model pick the shape; Schema alone gives strict structure; together is most reliable.
Output Schema
schema
json_schemaOptionalOptional JSON Schema describing the desired output shape. Define properties + types row-by-row. Either Schema or Prompt (or both) must be set.
Only Main Content
only_main_content
booleanOptionalStrip navigation/footer/sidebar boilerplate before extraction. Almost always true — cleaner extraction, fewer tokens, lower cost.
Sample request
{
"url": "e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com",
"prompt": "e.g. Extract the product name, price (number), and short description.",
"schema": "{{trigger.schema}}",
"only_main_content": "{{trigger.only_main_content}}"
}
Returns
{
"data": {
"json": {
"title": "I Moved My Digital Stack to Europe",
"points": 271
},
"metadata": {
"sourceURL": "https://news.ycombinator.com"
}
},
"success": true
}

Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ

Questions about Extract Structured Data.

What does the Extract Structured Data action do in Firecrawl?
Pass a URL and a schema; Firecrawl extracts matching fields. For "scrape product details from this page into our DB" workflows where you want typed JSON rather than raw HTML.
What inputs does Extract Structured Data require?
Required: URL. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Firecrawl returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Extract Structured Data support batch operations?
Yes. Run Extract Structured Data inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Firecrawl's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
