Firecrawl v2 scrape as a Perplexed.Scraper.
Firecrawl renders JavaScript and handles many protected sites, at one
credit per HTML page, priced by credit_usd/0 (the firecrawl_credit_usd
setting). Accepts a cached copy up to a day old (:max_age_ms).
Firecrawl also reads PDFs, at one credit per PDF page. A ladder hands it a
PDF the free tiers could not convert (no Perplexed.PdfConverter
configured) only with firecrawl_pdf: true in the settings; otherwise a
PDF ends the climb unread rather than billing per page. With a local
converter configured, PDFs never reach Firecrawl.
Needs config :perplexed, firecrawl_api_key:.
Summary
Functions
USD per Firecrawl credit: the firecrawl_credit_usd setting, else
9.9e-4 (the Standard plan's $99 for 100,000). Set it to
what your plan pays, for example 0.0038 on Hobby, or about 0.0025 for
credits bought past a Standard allowance (all as of 2026-11-10). A
scraped page is one credit, a PDF one per page; a search is two (see
Perplexed.Search.Firecrawl).
