firecrawl_deep_research
Conduct deep web research by crawling and analyzing multiple sources with LLM to answer complex queries requiring in-depth analysis.
Instructions
Conduct deep web research on a query using intelligent crawling, search, and LLM analysis.
Best for: Complex research questions requiring multiple sources, in-depth analysis. Not recommended for: Simple questions that can be answered with a single search; when you need very specific information from a known page (use scrape); when you need results quickly (deep research can take time). Arguments:
query (string, required): The research question or topic to explore.
maxDepth (number, optional): Maximum recursive depth for crawling/search (default: 3).
timeLimit (number, optional): Time limit in seconds for the research session (default: 120).
maxUrls (number, optional): Maximum number of URLs to analyze (default: 50). Prompt Example: "Research the environmental impact of electric vehicles versus gasoline vehicles." Usage Example:
{
"name": "firecrawl_deep_research",
"arguments": {
"query": "What are the environmental impacts of electric vehicles compared to gasoline vehicles?",
"maxDepth": 3,
"timeLimit": 120,
"maxUrls": 50
}
}Returns: Final analysis generated by an LLM based on research. (data.finalAnalysis); may also include structured activities and sources used in the research process.
