Firecrawl Build Map

Use this when the product knows the site but not the exact URLs.

Use This When

• the feature starts with a domain or site section
• you need URL discovery before extraction
• the product should inspect site structure without doing a full crawl yet

Guidance

• Use /map before /crawl when URL discovery itself is the main job.
• Combine /map with /scrape when you only need a filtered subset of pages.
• Keep this as lighter coverage than /scrape, /search, and /interact unless the feature is navigation-heavy.

When Not To Use It

• If you already have the exact URL, use firecrawl-build-scrape.
• If the feature begins with a general query across the web, use firecrawl-build-search.
