Researched · not yet run liveLast researched 25 October 2026 · Firecrawl · provider site

Researched, not yet run live. Built from the provider’s official pages (linked below). A person hasn’t walked this flow end to end yet, so check each step against the source.

Steps

Steps marked “human step” are ones only you can do: verapli never signs in, submits, pays or accepts terms for you.

  1. Sign in or create a Firecrawl account

    Sign in to Firecrawl. If you have no account yet, you create it yourself; verapli does not create accounts.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You sign in

    Where: https://www.firecrawl.dev/signin

  2. Get an API key

    Copy or create an API key on the API keys page and set FIRECRAWL_API_KEY, or run stripe projects add firecrawl/api.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit
    • After: Sign in or create a Firecrawl account

    verapli captures FIRECRAWL_API_KEY here by plain code: encrypted in your browser, never shown to AI.
