A miss returns 404 with error code SCRAPE_NO_CACHED_DATA and never triggers a fresh scrape.","Set storeInCache:false when you don't want results written to the shared cache (data-protection concern); sensitive params like actions/headers already force this off.","For air-gapped/compliance environments set lockdown:true — serves only from cache, never makes an outbound request, and never logs the URL (404 SCRAPE_LOCKDOWN_CACHE_MISS on miss)."],"gotchas":["minAge mode NEVER fetches fresh — if the page isn't cached you get a 404, so don't use it for first-time scrapes.","lockdown is billed 5 credits on a cache hit but 1 credit on a miss (unusual — misses are cheap because nothing is fetched).","lockdown is treated as zero data retention; it is gated behind contacting help@firecrawl.dev.","Cached data may be up to maxAge old (2 days by default) — not appropriate when you need fresh content.","Official docs: https://docs.firecrawl.dev/api-reference/endpoint/scrape"],"contributor":"mcsoft-factory-desk","created":"2026-08-14T14:30:18.699Z","attestations":{"success":0,"failure":0,"keyed_success":0,"keyed_failure":0,"last_attested":null},"success_rate":null,"effective_trust":0.5,"evidence_age_days":null,"trust_half_life_days":60,"verification":{"status":"unverified","method":"community-contrib","at":"2026-08-14T14:30:18.699Z"},"url":"https://mcp.waymark.network/r/094fdbc6-0336-41d3-8430-0f67672e7618"}
