How do I search the web with Firecrawl?

Short answer: You can firecrawl web search in Firecrawl by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Firecrawl Firecrawl Web Search action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

Inputs

The fields this action accepts.

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

Field	Type	Required	Description
Query query	string	Required	Search query.
Limit limit	number	Optional	How many results to return per source (1–100).
Sources sources	array	Optional	Which result types to fetch. Any combination of: web, images, news. The response splits into data.web / data.images / data.news accordingly.
Scrape Formats scrape_options_formats	array	Optional	Optional. Set to e.g. ["markdown"] to scrape each result page inline. Costs more credits but saves a separate scrape pass.

Sample request

{
  "query": "{{trigger.query}}",
  "limit": "{{trigger.limit}}",
  "sources": "{{trigger.sources}}",
  "scrape_options_formats": "{{trigger.scrape_options_formats}}"
}

Returns

{
  "data": {
    "web": [
      {
        "url": "https://example.com",
        "title": "Example page",
        "markdown": "# Example\n\nFull content when scrape was requested.",
        "description": "A short snippet from the page."
      }
    ],
    "news": [],
    "images": []
  },
  "success": true
}

FAQ

Questions about Firecrawl Web Search.

What does the Firecrawl Web Search action do in Firecrawl?

Web search bundled with scraping — Firecrawl runs the search and fetches the content of top results in one call. Saves the "search then scrape each result" two-step for grounded-answer workflows.

What inputs does Firecrawl Web Search require?

Required: Query. 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 Firecrawl Web Search support batch operations?

Yes. Run Firecrawl Web Search inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Firecrawl's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
