Overview
This node, named "Firecrawl," is designed to retrieve data from the Firecrawl API. It acts as a connector to the Firecrawl service, allowing users to fetch and transform data within their n8n workflows. Typical use cases include integrating Firecrawl's data into automation pipelines, enriching datasets, or triggering actions based on Firecrawl API responses.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Use Custom Body | Whether to send a custom request body instead of the default one |
The single input property allows users to specify if they want to provide a custom request body when making API calls to Firecrawl, giving flexibility in how requests are constructed.
Output
The node outputs JSON data received from the Firecrawl API. The structure of this JSON depends on the specific API endpoint called and the parameters used. There is no indication that the node handles binary data; it primarily deals with JSON responses representing the requested data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Firecrawl API.
- The base URL for the API defaults to
https://api.firecrawl.dev/v1but can be overridden via credentials configuration. - The node sends requests with headers specifying JSON content type and expects JSON responses.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
- Invalid request body: If using the custom body option, verify the JSON structure matches the Firecrawl API requirements.
- Network issues: Confirm network connectivity to the Firecrawl API endpoint.
- Unexpected response format: Check that the API version and endpoints used are compatible with the node's implementation.
