Questions
FAQ
How do I use the Firecrawl Web Search API?
Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/firecrawl/search with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.
How much does the Firecrawl Web Search API cost?
$0.01 per call, billed from your SandBase balance. You are only charged for calls you make; there is no subscription.
What parameters does the Firecrawl Web Search API accept?
Required: query (string). Optional: limit (integer). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.
What does the Firecrawl Web Search API return?
A JSON response returned in the same HTTP request (synchronous). The README on this page includes a sample response.
Do I need a Firecrawl developer account or API key?
No. Firecrawl Web Search runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for Firecrawl API access separately.
