Lockdown Mode

Lockdown Mode is a cache-only option for /scrape that keeps security-sensitive requests inside Firecrawl. Set lockdown: true to serve results exclusively from Firecrawl's index, with zero data retention by default.

Highlights

• No outbound request - Lockdown serves results from Firecrawl's index only and gates every outbound path, including HTTP and robots.txt.
• Zero data retention by default - URLs aren't persisted, response data isn't stored, and the scrape job is cleaned up after delivery.
• One flag, every surface - lockdown: true works the same across the API, every SDK (Python, Node, Go, Rust, Java, .NET, Ruby, PHP, Elixir), the CLI (--lockdown), and MCP.
