Prefer a provider over scraping pages when the task needs the same fields across several entities, exact figures or timestamps, provenance, or many records; use web results when they already answer the question.

Keyless sessions get no Alexandria matches in data.tools.\n\nFor a programming question, add `categories: [\"developer\"]`; its hits return in `data.web` with `category: \"developer\"`. For a legal or regulatory question, `categories: [\"gov\"]` returns hits in `data.web` with `category: \"gov\"` and cannot be combined with other categories; authenticated sessions also have `firecrawl_gov_search` as the dedicated tool. Verify gov results' issuer, jurisdiction, status, and version before citing current law. `categories: [\"research\"]` restricts web results to research-affiliated websites; the `firecrawl_research_*` tools are a separate surface over paper abstracts and full text (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv). Query operators, domain filters, `categories`, `toolDetail` and `scrapeOptions` are described on their parameters. Returns source-type result groups and usage metadata.

Use `firecrawl_map` to list URLs, then scrape the few you need instead of crawling a whole site\n2. On the keyless endpoint only scrape, search and parse work. A 429 carries a `signup_url` for the human\n3. Ask for markdown only. JSON, question and highlight formats add 4 credits a page\n4. Poll `firecrawl_check_crawl_status` rather than waiting on a long crawl inside one call\n5. Check the URL before scraping. Dead pages still cost a credit\n\n### Scrapewise\n\n1. Call each paid tool with `quote_only: true` first, then repeat with the same `idempotency_key` so a retry is charged once\n2. Connect to `https://mcp.scrapewise.ai/mcp?toolsets=outcome,admin` to build scrapers; a misspelt `toolsets` is ignored silently and leaves the 14 data tools\n3. Use an LLM_READ key unless the task needs paid tools or writes, since LLM_FULL has no per-tool consent\n4. Treat 402 WALLET_INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE as final and ask the user to top up; on 429 wait for Retry-After, and on 429 cost_exceeded wait for the next hour\n5. Scrape many addresses with one `scrapewise_run_scraper_url_list` call (up to 5,000) and retry with the same name, never one scraper per address\n\n## Tutorials\n\n- [Turn a documentation page into Markdown with Firecrawl](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/firecrawl-mcp/), for Firecrawl MCP\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Firecrawl MCP or Scrapewise?\n\nFirecrawl MCP scores 75.3 (BB) on agent readiness against Scrapewise's 62.5 (B), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Firecrawl MCP and Scrapewise need an API key?\n\nFirecrawl MCP takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.
