# Firecrawl Debug Bundle

## Current State

!`node --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'N/A'`
!`npm list @mendable/firecrawl-js 2>/dev/null | grep firecrawl || echo 'SDK not installed'`

## Overview

Collect all diagnostic information needed for Firecrawl support tickets. Tests API connectivity, checks SDK version, verifies credentials, captures error context, and packages it all into a redacted bundle.

## Prerequisites

- Firecrawl SDK installed
- `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` environment variable set
- Access to application logs

## Instructions

### Step 1: Create Debug Bundle Script

```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
# firecrawl-debug-bundle.sh

BUNDLE_DIR="firecrawl-debug-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$BUNDLE_DIR"

echo "=== Firecrawl Debug Bundle ===" > "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "Generated: $(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"

# Environment
echo "--- Runtime ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
node --version >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt" 2>&1 || echo "Node: N/A" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "OS: $(uname -a)" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "FIRECRAWL_API_KEY: ${FIRECRAWL_API_KEY:+SET (${#FIRECRAWL_API_KEY} chars)}" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "FIRECRAWL_API_URL: ${FIRECRAWL_API_URL:-https://api.firecrawl.dev (default)}" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
```

### Step 2: Collect SDK and API Status

```bash
set -euo pipefail
# SDK version
echo "" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "--- SDK ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
npm list @mendable/firecrawl-js 2>/dev/null >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt" || echo "Not found in npm" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
pip show firecrawl-py 2>/dev/null >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt" || true

# API connectivity test
echo "" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "--- API Connectivity ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
API_RESPONSE=$(curl -s -w "\n%{http_code}" https://api.firecrawl.dev/v1/scrape \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${FIRECRAWL_API_KEY:-missing}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://example.com","formats":["markdown"]}' 2>&1)
HTTP_CODE=$(echo "$API_RESPONSE" | tail -1)
echo "API Status: HTTP $HTTP_CODE" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"

# Credit balance
echo "" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "--- Credits ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
curl -s https://api.firecrawl.dev/v1/team/credits \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${FIRECRAWL_API_KEY:-missing}" 2>/dev/null | \
  jq '{credits_remaining, plan}' >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt" 2>/dev/null || echo "Could not fetch credits" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
```

### Step 3: Capture Error Context

```bash
set -euo pipefail
# Recent error logs (redacted)
echo "" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "--- Recent Errors ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
grep -ri "firecrawl\|scrape\|crawl" /tmp/*.log 2>/dev/null | tail -30 >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/errors.txt" || echo "No log files found" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/errors.txt"

# Redact secrets from any config
echo "--- Config (redacted) ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
cat .env 2>/dev/null | sed 's/\(API_KEY\|SECRET\|TOKEN\|PASSWORD\)=.*/\1=***REDACTED***/' >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/config-redacted.txt" || echo "No .env file" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/config-redacted.txt"
```

### Step 4: Run Diagnostic Scrape

```typescript
// diagnostic-scrape.ts — include output in debug bundle
import FirecrawlApp from "@mendable/firecrawl-js";

async function runDiagnostic() {
  const firecrawl = new FirecrawlApp({
    apiKey: process.env.FIRECRAWL_API_KEY!,
  });

  const tests = [
    { name: "Basic scrape", fn: () => firecrawl.scrapeUrl("https://example.com", { formats: ["markdown"] }) },
    { name: "Map endpoint", fn: () => firecrawl.mapUrl("https://example.com") },
  ];

  for (const test of tests) {
    const start = Date.now();
    try {
      const result = await test.fn();
      console.log(`PASS: ${test.name} (${Date.now() - start}ms)`);
    } catch (err: any) {
      console.log(`FAIL: ${test.name} (${Date.now() - start}ms) — ${err.statusCode}: ${err.message}`);
    }
  }
}

runDiagnostic();
```

### Step 5: Package Bundle

```bash
set -euo pipefail
tar -czf "$BUNDLE_DIR.tar.gz" "$BUNDLE_DIR"
echo "Bundle created: $BUNDLE_DIR.tar.gz"
echo "Review for sensitive data before sharing!"
rm -rf "$BUNDLE_DIR"
```

## Output

- `firecrawl-debug-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.tar.gz` containing:
  - `summary.txt` — Runtime, SDK version, API status, credits
  - `errors.txt` — Recent error logs
  - `config-redacted.txt` — Configuration with secrets masked

## Error Handling

| Item | Purpose | Included |
|------|---------|----------|
| Node/Python version | Compatibility check | Yes |
| SDK version | Version-specific bugs | Yes |
| API HTTP status | Connectivity | Yes |
| Credit balance | Quota issues | Yes |
| Diagnostic scrape | End-to-end test | Yes |

## ALWAYS REDACT

- API keys (anything starting with `fc-`)
- Passwords, tokens, secrets
- PII in scraped content
