A direct path to structured data

Alexandria brings ready-made website workflows, API providers, and specialized indexes into Firecrawl search and scrape. Semantic discovery finds capabilities by the data you need; domain matching connects web results to tools that may retrieve richer structured data beyond the page. Discover a tool that fits the task and get structured results directly, reducing the browsing, parsing, and repeated requests needed to assemble the data yourself.

• Search to find web results and relevant tools, then inspect only the contracts needed for the task.
• Scrape to execute a selected tool or read a URL. For large retained results, use its remote Bash guidance to select the data you need.

Use ordinary web results when they answer the question; use a provider tool when its coverage and inputs fit.

Alexandria feedback

Alexandria coverage grows from what agents report. If you choose to report how the catalogue served a task, send at most one firecrawl alexandria feedback per website you needed data from after finishing the task. It is free: no job ID, no time window, no credit refund.

Feedback can describe any of these outcomes:

• A tool answered the need, fully or partly.
• A tool ran but returned wrong or incomplete data, or failed.
• No provider covers the website, or a provider exists but lacks the capability you needed, and you fell back to web search, scrape, or Agent.

Opt out: if FIRECRAWL_NO_ENDPOINT_FEEDBACK=1 (or FIRECRAWL_DISABLE_ENDPOINT_FEEDBACK=1) is set, the CLI silently skips the call and never sends anything. Respect that; do not try to work around it. (Team admins can also disable this server-side; the API returns feedbackErrorCode: "TEAM_OPTED_OUT" and the CLI exits 0 silently.)

Rules to know before you call this:

• --url is the website the user needed data from, not the provider and not a Firecrawl page. --requested-functionality is what they needed from it, in one sentence. These two fields are the most important: they aggregate across teams and tell us which sites and workflows to add next.
• --rationale explains the rating from observed results: which provider or capability served or failed the need, and how. Two or three sentences, no raw results pasted in.
• --provider-feedback is a JSON array of {name, issue, why} for providers that were missing, thin, or unavailable. Issues: missing_provider (no provider covers the site), insufficient_coverage (exists, but data was thin, stale, or partial for this market or segment), provider_unavailable (could not be called), other.
• --capability-feedback is a JSON array of {name, provider, issue, why, requestedFunctionality?} for capabilities that were missing, wrong, or failed. Issues: new_capability_request (ask the provider to add one; requestedFunctionality required), missing_capability (provider exists but lacks it), insufficient_functionality (exists but cannot take the input or filter you needed), incorrect_result, execution_error, other. Use name and provider exactly as discovery returned them; for a capability that does not exist yet, name what it should be.
• Rate honestly: good when a tool answered the need, partial when it answered some of it or with gaps, bad when nothing available answered it or what ran was wrong or failed.
• --silent & is the right pattern: exit code 0 even on failure, so a rejected call never crashes your pipeline.

# Example: send at most once per website after the task is done. Replace the
# placeholders with what actually happened; drop --provider-feedback or
# --capability-feedback when there is nothing to report at that level.
firecrawl alexandria feedback \
  --rating "<good|partial|bad>" \
  --url "https://sam.gov" \
  --requested-functionality "Active contracts by agency with their attachments" \
  --rationale "sam-gov/contracts returned the contract list, but no capability exposes attachment links, so those were scraped from the web instead." \
  --capability-feedback '[{"name":"attachments","provider":"sam-gov","issue":"new_capability_request","why":"Attachments were the point of the task","requestedFunctionality":"Given a contract ID, return attachment URLs and document text"}]' \
  --silent &

If you report a site with no provider coverage, use --provider-feedback '[{"name":"<site or provider>","issue":"missing_provider","why":"<what was needed>"}]' and rate bad; that is the signal we use to onboard new providers.

--silent suppresses output and & runs it in the background so feedback never blocks you. Run firecrawl alexandria feedback --help for every option.
