Pay-per-call web scraping via Firecrawl, settled on Tempo L2 through MPP.
What it does
Firecrawl — Scrape a URL is an MPP-enabled endpoint hosted at firecrawl.mpp.tempo.xyz that wraps the Firecrawl web scraping service behind a micropayment paywall. Firecrawl is a well-known tool for web scraping, crawling, and structured data extraction optimized for LLM consumption. This endpoint exposes the /v1/scrape route, which is expected to accept a URL and return scraped page content (likely markdown or structured text) suitable for downstream AI pipelines.
The endpoint is accessed via the Tempo MPP (Micropayment Protocol), meaning each call is paid for individually using pathUSD on the Tempo L2 network. However, during probing the endpoint returned 404 on both HEAD and GET requests, and no 402 payment challenge was captured. The root domain also returns 404. This suggests the endpoint may require a POST method (consistent with Firecrawl's standard API which accepts POST to /v1/scrape), or the service may be temporarily unavailable or misconfigured.
Without a captured 402 challenge, pricing details, authentication parameters, and the exact request/response schema cannot be confirmed. Users interested in this endpoint should attempt a POST request with a JSON body containing a "url" field, which aligns with Firecrawl's documented API pattern. The lack of any live response or documentation at the host is a significant concern.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Scraping a single web page and converting it to markdown for LLM ingestion
- —Extracting structured data from a URL for RAG pipelines
- —Fetching clean text content from web pages without managing browser infrastructure
Fit
Best for
- —AI agents needing on-demand web page content without API keys
- —Pay-per-use web scraping without subscription commitments
- —LLM workflows requiring clean markdown from arbitrary URLs
Not for
- —Bulk crawling of entire websites (this is a single-URL scrape endpoint)
- —Users who need guaranteed uptime — endpoint liveness is currently unconfirmed
Quick start
curl -X POST https://firecrawl.mpp.tempo.xyz/v1/scrape \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"url": "https://example.com"}'Example
Request
{
"url": "https://example.com"
}Endpoint
Quality
The endpoint returned 404 on all probe methods and the entire host returns 404 on every crawled path. No 402 MPP challenge was captured, so pricing, settlement details, and schema are unknown. The listing is essentially a stub based on the endpoint path and the known Firecrawl product.
Warnings
- —Endpoint returned 404 on HEAD and GET — no 402 MPP challenge captured; it may require POST or may be offline
- —Root domain and all documentation paths return 404 — no docs, pricing, or schema available
- —Request/response schema and pricing are entirely inferred from the Firecrawl product name and standard API conventions; nothing is confirmed
- —Liveness is unconfirmed — treat this endpoint as potentially unavailable
