Models

Choose the right model for your agent extraction tasks.

Firecrawl Agent runs on Spark 2, the default model for every run. It removes the accuracy-versus-cost decision the Spark 1 models called for: it is cheaper and faster than both of them while matching Spark 1 Pro’s accuracy, and it completes a higher share of runs.

Available Models

Model	Status	Notes
spark-2	Default	Lowest cost, fastest run time, accuracy comparable to Spark 1 Pro
spark-1-pro	Deprecated	Former default for complex tasks; routes to spark-2
spark-1-mini	Deprecated	Former low-cost Spark 1 option; routes to spark-2

Spark 1 models are deprecated. The spark-1-pro and spark-1-mini names remain accepted for backwards compatibility, but every request — with or without the model parameter — executes on spark-2.

Spark 2

spark-2 is our newest agent model and powers every agent run.

Highlights:

• Lowest cost per run and fastest run time
• Accuracy comparable to the former Spark 1 flagship
• Handles everything from simple lookups to multi-domain research
• The only model with a reasoning budget: pass effort (low, medium, or high) to control how hard it thinks

Spark 1 models (deprecated)

spark-1-pro and spark-1-mini are deprecated. Their names remain accepted for backwards compatibility, but requests that use them route to spark-2 — legacy code keeps working, it just runs Spark 2. There is nothing to migrate.

Specifying a Model

The model parameter is optional — every request runs spark-2:

Python

from firecrawl import Firecrawl

app = Firecrawl(api_key="fc-YOUR_API_KEY")

# Spark 2 is the default — every run executes on it
result = app.agent(
    prompt="Find the pricing of Firecrawl",
    model="spark-2"
)

# Deprecated: Spark 1 model names are still accepted, but route to "spark-2".

print(result.data)

Pricing by Model

All models use dynamic, credit-based pricing that scales with task complexity:

• Spark 2: Uses substantially fewer credits than either Spark 1 model for equivalent tasks
• Spark 1 models (deprecated): Requests route to Spark 2 and are billed accordingly

Credit usage varies based on prompt complexity, data processed, and output structure — regardless of model selected.
