Firecrawl

Overview

The "Firecrawl" node is designed to interact with the Firecrawl API, specifically to retrieve the status of an extract job. This node is beneficial in scenarios where users need to monitor the progress or completion of data extraction tasks initiated through the Firecrawl service. For example, after starting an extract job, a user can utilize this node to check if the job has finished processing and to obtain its current status.

Properties

Output

The output of the node will be structured as JSON, containing the status of the specified extract job. The exact structure may vary based on the response from the Firecrawl API but typically includes fields such as job status, timestamps, and any relevant messages regarding the job's execution. If the node can output binary data, it would represent additional information related to the extract job.

Dependencies

This node requires an API key credential for authentication with the Firecrawl API. Additionally, it expects the base URL for the Firecrawl service, which can be configured in the n8n environment settings.

Troubleshooting

Common issues users might encounter include:

• Invalid Extract ID: If the provided extract ID does not exist or is incorrectly formatted, the node may return an error indicating that the job could not be found. Ensure the extract ID is correct and exists in the Firecrawl system.
• Authentication Errors: If the API key credential is missing or incorrect, users may receive authentication-related error messages. Verify that the correct API key is set up in the n8n credentials.
• Network Issues: If there are connectivity problems with the Firecrawl API, users may see timeout errors. Check network settings and ensure that the Firecrawl service is accessible.
