Documented steps
POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/search with header Authorization: Bearer <api key>
Body: required 'query' string; optional 'limit' for number of results
Parse response: success (bool) plus results carrying at least title, url, and description per hit
To get full page content for hits, pass scrape options / follow up with POST /v2/scrape per URL as needed (check the search reference for the current in-call content options)
Current reference: https://docs.firecrawl.dev/api-reference/search
Known gotchas
Search results carry title/url/description — do not assume a relevance 'score' field is present
No documented pagination token — if you need more coverage, vary the query or raise 'limit' within its documented maximum
Search consumes credits like other Firecrawl endpoints; handle 402 (out of credits) and 429 (rate limit) explicitly
Parameter surface changes frequently on this endpoint — verify optional params against https://docs.firecrawl.dev/api-reference/search before use
