Does this skill support different FireCrawl pricing tiers?

Yes, it provides a reference for Free, Pro, and Enterprise tiers, allowing you to configure your logic based on your specific requests-per-minute and burst limits.

How does this skill handle FireCrawl 429 errors?

It implements an exponential backoff algorithm with randomized jitter to retry requests gracefully without overloading the server or causing 'thundering herd' issues.

Can I use this with queueing libraries like p-queue?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific examples for integrating queue-based rate limiting to maintain consistent throughput.

How do I monitor my remaining FireCrawl credits or limits?

The skill provides patterns to extract and use 'X-RateLimit-Remaining' and 'X-RateLimit-Reset' headers to monitor your usage in real-time.

What are idempotency keys used for in FireCrawl?

Idempotency keys ensure that retrying a request doesn't result in duplicate actions or charges on the server side, making retries safe even if a network timeout occurred.

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Implements robust rate limiting, exponential backoff, and idempotency patterns for FireCrawl API integrations.

About

This skill provides specialized guidance for managing high-volume data extraction using FireCrawl by implementing advanced error handling and throughput optimization. It equips developers with standardized patterns for exponential backoff with jitter to prevent thundering herd problems, deterministic idempotency keys to ensure safe retries without duplicate data, and real-time monitoring of rate limit headers to proactively adjust request frequency and avoid service interruptions.

Key Features

Deterministic idempotency key generation for safe request retries
Real-time monitoring of X-RateLimit headers and reset timestamps
Queue-based concurrency control integration for optimized throughput
Exponential backoff with jitter for graceful 429 error handling
982 GitHub stars
Tier-aware configurations for Free, Pro, and Enterprise account limits

Use Cases

Optimizing API costs and performance by proactively throttling requests before errors occur
