Rate Limits

Rate limits for different pricing plans and API requests

Concurrent Browser Limits

Concurrent browsers represent how many web pages Firecrawl can process for you at the same time. Your plan determines how many of these jobs can run simultaneously - if you exceed this limit, additional jobs will wait in a queue until resources become available.

Standard Plans (most API endpoints)

Plan	Concurrent Browsers
Free	2
Hobby	5
Standard	50
Growth	100

Extract plans (/extract API)

Plan	Concurrent Browsers
Free	2
Starter	50

Pro	200

Standard API

The following rate limits apply to standard API requests and are primarily in place to prevent abuse:

Plan	/scrape (requests/min)	/map (requests/min)	/crawl (requests/min)	/search (requests/min)
Free	10	10	1	5
Hobby	100	100	15	50
Standard	500	500	50	250
Growth	5000	5000	250	2500

	/crawl/status (requests/min)
Default	1500

These rate limits are enforced to ensure fair usage and availability of the API for all users. If you require higher limits, please contact us at [e-mail] to discuss custom plans.

Batch Endpoints

Batch endpoints follow the /crawl rate limit.
