FAQ
Questions about Get Crawl Status.
What does the Get Crawl Status action do in Firecrawl?
Returns the current status of a running crawl — pages crawled, pages discovered, completion percentage. Poll until status=completed before consuming results.
What inputs does Get Crawl Status require?
Required: Crawl ID. 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 Get Crawl Status support batch operations?
Yes. Run Get Crawl Status inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Firecrawl's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.

Other Firecrawl actions.
Action
Crawl Site
Starting from a URL, Firecrawl follows links and fetches every page within scope. Returns markdown-formatted content of each. For "ingest a docs site into a RAG index" or "build a knowledge base from a brand's blog" workflows.
ActionExtract Structured Data
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.
ActionGet Firecrawl Agent Result
Polls an agent task for completion and returns the result. For Firecrawl's agentic-scraping workflows that perform multi-step browse tasks.
ActionMap Site URLs
Returns the URL list of a site without fetching content — the fast preflight before deciding what to crawl. Useful for "find all pages under /blog" or "count pages on this competitor's site" inventory workflows.
ActionRun Firecrawl Agent
Runs an agentic browse task — Firecrawl's agent navigates the site and performs the configured extraction goal. For complex scraping that requires sequential page navigation or form interaction.
ActionScrape URL
Fetches and returns cleaned markdown for a single URL. Handles JavaScript rendering and bot evasion. The right tool for "extract content from this one URL for LLM consumption" workflows.
