Limits
  • per-object-cap the default request costs 10 credits, so 10,000 credits is 1,000 pages source
  • request-rate most requests cost between 1 and 25 credits depending on proxy type and rendering source
the default request is 10 credits, so the 10,000-credit free tier is 1,000 pages and the credit headline overstates the tier tenfold
Bindingper-object-cap
Interfacerest REST with three agent-callable MCP tools: get_web_page_html, get_web_page_markdown, get_web_page_text
Toolingnot stated
Composes withA rendered page at 10 credits is ten times Firecrawl's 1 credit, so it is the wrong first leg and a reasonable last one
Reliabilityno reliability event recorded
NotesThe clearest arithmetic trap in the class: the headline is 10,000 and the usable figure is 1,000, because the default request is a rendered page at 10 credits. A page that quotes 10,000 has overstated the tier tenfold.
