Watch out for

Firecrawl may block requests if you exceed their rate limits, so implement a retry mechanism with exponential backoff in your workflow.
LLMs can hallucinate URLs when generating search queries, always validate the generated URL format before passing it to the scraper.
Full-page screenshots consume significant API credits and bandwidth, only request them for high-priority targets to manage costs effectively.
Dynamic content loaded via JavaScript might not appear in static HTML snippets, use Firecrawl's browser-based scraping mode for such sites.
