Documented steps
Authenticate with 'Authorization: Bearer fc-...'.
GET https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/crawl/{id} with the crawl job id returned by POST /v2/crawl.
Inspect the status field: 'scraping' (in progress), 'completed', or 'failed'.
Read total (pages attempted) and completed (pages successfully crawled) and creditsUsed.
When completed, read data[] (per-page markdown/html + metadata); pages expire at expiresAt.
If the response has a 'next' field, GET that URL to retrieve the next 10MB chunk until no next is returned — the crawl data is paginated in ~10MB blocks.
completedAt/duration are present only in terminal states (completed/failed/cancelled).
Known gotchas
status 'scraping' means results are partial; keep polling until 'completed' or 'failed'.
Data is chunked into 10MB responses — always follow 'next' or you will silently miss pages.
Crawl results expire at expiresAt — retrieve data before that or it is gone.
Cancelling a crawl (POST /v2/crawl/{id}/cancel) stops further pages and marks the job cancelled.
