viaGitHub Releases

Firecrawl v2.9.0

Improvements

  • Browser Interaction via /interact endpoint — Scrape a page, then call /interact to take actions on it — click buttons, fill forms, navigate deeper, or extract dynamic content. Describe what you want in natural language via prompt, or write Playwright code (Node.js, Python) and Bash (agent-browser) for full control. Sessions persist across calls, with live view and interactive live view URLs for real-time browser streaming. Persistent profiles let you save and reuse browser state (cookies, localStorage) across scrapes. Available in JS, Python, Java, and Rust SDKs.
  • query format — Added query format to the /scrape endpoint — pass a natural-language prompt and get a direct answer back in data.answer.
  • audio format — Added audio format option to scrape responses, returning audio output as a field on the document.
  • onlyCleanContent parameter — Added onlyCleanContent parameter to the /scrape endpoint, which strips navigation, ads, cookie banners, and other non-semantic content from markdown output.
  • PDF parsing modes — Added PDF parsing modes (fast, auto, ocr) and a maxPages option to control extraction depth and OCR behavior.
  • Java and Elixir SDKs — Added official Java and Elixir SDKs with full v2 API support.
  • Legacy .doc file support — Added support for parsing legacy .doc files.
  • Wikimedia engine — Added a dedicated engine for scraping Wikipedia and Wikimedia pages with improved output quality.
  • contentType in scrape responses — Added contentType to scrape responses for PDFs and documents.
  • PDF pipeline improvements — Improved PDF pipeline with better table detection, header/footer stripping, mixed PDF handling, inline image parsing, and magic byte detection.
  • Branding extraction — Improved branding extraction to skip hidden DOM elements for cleaner output.
  • HTML-to-markdown performance — Improved HTML-to-markdown conversion performance and fixed code blocks losing content during conversion.
  • Concurrency queue — New concurrency queue system with reconciler and backfill for more reliable job scheduling.
  • Rust SDK v2 — Added v2 API namespace with agent support to the Rust SDK.
  • Fixed Python SDK parameters timeout, max_retries, and backoff_factor — these were previously accepted but silently ignored.
  • Capped job timeouts at 48 hours to prevent runaway jobs from consuming resources.
  • Added retry limits to prevent scrape loops.
  • Binary content types are now rejected early in the scrape pipeline to avoid wasted processing.

Fixes

  • Fixed empty responses when using the o3-mini model on extract jobs.
  • Fixed revoked API keys remaining valid for up to 10 minutes after deletion.
  • Fixed a race condition in extract jobs that caused "Job not found" crashes.
  • Fixed time_taken in /v1/map always returning ~0.
  • Fixed crawl status responses now surfacing a failed status with an error message and partial data when a crawl-level failure occurs.
  • Fixed maxPages not being passed to the PDF extractor — previously, full PDF content was returned while only charging for the limited page count.
  • Fixed free request credits being incorrectly consumed and billed on agent jobs exceeding the maxCredits threshold.
  • Fixed dashboard displaying incorrect concurrency limits due to stale reads.
  • Fixed branding colors.secondary not being populated.
  • Fixed removeBase64Images running after deriveDiff in the transformer pipeline, causing diff issues.
  • Fixed GCS fetch using wrong row index for cache info lookups.
  • Fixed unhandled ZodError in /v1/search controller.
  • Resolved multiple CVEs across dependencies including handlebars, path-to-regexp, fast-xml-parser, rollup (CVE-2026-27606), undici, and others.
  • Hardened the Playwright service against SSRF attacks.

API

  • Added GET /v2/team/activity endpoint for listing recent scrape, crawl, and extract jobs with cursor-based pagination (last 24 hours, up to 100 results per page, filterable by endpoint type).
  • Added regexOnFullURL parameter on crawl requests to apply includePaths/excludePaths filtering against the full URL including query parameters. Available in JS, Python, Java, and Elixir SDKs.
  • Added deduplicateSimilarURLs parameter on crawl requests. Available in JS, Python, Java, and Elixir SDKs.
  • Deprecated the extract endpoint — use the /agent endpoint instead. Existing extract methods in JS and Python SDKs are marked deprecated.
  • Renamed persistentSession to profile on browser/interact requests (writeMode is now saveChanges). The old parameter name remains functional but is no longer documented.

  • Three Parsing Modes:
    • fast — text-only parsing for maximum performance.
    • auto — new default; starts in fast mode and automatically falls back to OCR when needed, intelligently detecting edge cases like embedded images, graphs, multi-column layouts, and unusual text encodings.
    • ocr — forces OCR parsing for fully image-based or scanned documents.
  • Built for Production Reliability — Extensively tested across thousands of real-world PDFs for consistent, accurate extraction.
Feb 17, 2026
