What it does
Save a site or section as local files (markdown, screenshots). Use for "download the site", offline docs, or a local copy for reference.

firecrawl download (invoked as firecrawl x download)
> Experimental. download is available under the firecrawl x command group.
Prerequisite: download requires authentication (no keyless free tier); without credentials the CLI prompts an interactive login.
Maps the site origin first to discover pages, then scrapes each one into nested directories under .firecrawl/. Use --include-paths to scope a non-root URL to one section. Automated runs always pass -y — without it the command opens an interactive wizard that blocks on a prompt.
Quick start
# With screenshots
firecrawl x download https://docs.example.com --screenshot --limit 20 -y
# Multiple formats (each saved as its own file per page)
firecrawl x download https://docs.example.com --format markdown,links --screenshot --limit 20 -y
# Creates per page: index.md + links.txt + screenshot.png
# Filter to specific sections
firecrawl x download https://docs.example.com --include-paths "/features,/sdks" -y
# Skip translations
firecrawl x download https://docs.example.com --exclude-paths "/zh,/ja,/fr,/es,/pt-BR" -yRun firecrawl x download --help for the full option list, including which scrape options download supports.
Done when: the command exits successfully and the expected files exist under .firecrawl/.
