Deno Deploy

Use Firecrawl with Deno Deploy to search, scrape, and interact with web data at the edge.

Prerequisites

• Deno 1.40+ or Deno 2
• A Firecrawl API key — get one free

Setup

Create main.ts:

import Firecrawl from "npm:@mendable/firecrawl-js";

const firecrawl = new Firecrawl({
  apiKey: Deno.env.get("FIRECRAWL_API_KEY"),
});

Search the web

Add a /search route that searches the web and returns results with full page content.

Deno.serve(async (req) => {
  const url = new URL(req.url);

  if (req.method === "POST" && url.pathname === "/search") {
    const { query } = await req.json();
    const results = await firecrawl.search(query, { limit: 5 });
    return Response.json(results);
  }

  return new Response("Not found", { status: 404 });
});

Scrape a page

Add a /scrape route to extract clean markdown from any URL.

if (req.method === "POST" && url.pathname === "/scrape") {
  const { url: targetUrl } = await req.json();
  const result = await firecrawl.scrape(targetUrl);
  return Response.json(result);
}

Interact with a page

Add an /interact route to control a live browser session — click buttons, fill forms, and extract dynamic content.

if (req.method === "POST" && url.pathname === "/interact") {
  const result = await firecrawl.scrape("https://www.amazon.com", {
    formats: ["markdown"],
  });
  const scrapeId = result.metadata?.scrapeId;

  await firecrawl.interact(scrapeId, {
    prompt: "Search for iPhone 16 Pro Max",
  });
  const response = await firecrawl.interact(scrapeId, {
    prompt: "Click on the first result and tell me the price",
  });
  console.log(response.output);

  await firecrawl.stopInteraction(scrapeId);
  return Response.json({ output: response.output });
}

Run locally

FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-YOUR-API-KEY deno run --allow-net --allow-env main.ts

Deploy

Install the Deno Deploy CLI (deployctl) and deploy:

deployctl deploy --project=my-scraper main.ts

Set the environment variable in the Deno Deploy dashboard or via CLI:

deployctl env set FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-YOUR-API-KEY --project=my-scraper

Test it

curl -X POST https://my-scraper.deno.dev/search \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "firecrawl web scraping"}'
