Documented steps

  1. POST https://api.tavily.com/map with header Authorization: Bearer tvly-<key>
  2. Body: required 'url' (root to start from); scope: max_depth (1-5, default 1), max_breadth (links followed per page, default 20), limit (total pages, default 50), timeout (10-150s)
  3. Optional 'instructions' — natural-language guidance (e.g. 'find all SDK documentation pages') for intelligent path selection; doubles the credit cost
  4. Filter with regex arrays: select_paths, exclude_paths, select_domains, exclude_domains; allow_external controls whether external domains appear
  5. Parse response: base_url plus results as a flat list of discovered URL strings (no page content), usage.credits, request_id
  6. Reference: https://docs.tavily.com/documentation/api-reference/endpoint/map
