Frequently
asked questions

Everything you need to know about this use case.
General
Firecrawl Alexandria's Public records category lists more than 120 providers as of October 2026. They include SAM.gov, USAspending, Grants.gov, CourtListener, SEC EDGAR, USPTO, Companies House, OpenSanctions and state business registries. Election Records add free election results, FEC campaign finance, House roll-call votes and lobbying filings. Open data comes from the US Census Bureau, BLS, FRED, the World Bank and city portals such as DataSF. Firecrawl's own Government Index sits alongside them.
The Firecrawl Government Index is Firecrawl's own index of 30M+ pages from US federal, state, county and city government websites. It holds statutes, regulations, Federal Register documents, court filings and agency guidance. Searches cost no credits, and each result returns the matched passage with its official source URL.
Technical
The SAM.gov provider in Firecrawl Alexandria searches federal contract opportunities by keyword, agency, NAICS code, set-aside, notice type and response deadline. Each notice comes back with its description, place of performance, contacts and attachment links. It also reads SAM.gov entity registrations and exclusions, and USAspending adds past awards and recipients. Calls cost 5 credits each.
The Delaware Division of Corporations provider in Firecrawl Alexandria searches the state's entity registry by name or file number. It then returns the free entity record: formation date, entity kind and type, residency and the registered agent with address and phone. Delaware sells good-standing status separately, so the record doesn't include it.
Integration
An AI agent finds the rule's regulations.gov page with a Government Index search, then scrapes the document's comment tab with Firecrawl. The scrape lists each comment's submitter, posted date and comment ID with a link, and scraping that link returns the comment text and any attachment links. Firecrawl Alexandria has no dedicated regulations.gov provider yet.
The Firecrawl Government Index returns Federal Register documents, including final rules, proposed rules and notices from federalregister.gov and the Federal Register PDFs on GovInfo. Searches are free, and filters narrow results to one site, a jurisdiction, or a cited law such as 40 CFR part 60.
Advanced
The CourtListener provider in Firecrawl Alexandria searches published federal and state opinions by full text, citation, case name, judge, court and filing date. Results include citations, cite counts and PDF links. It also reads federal dockets and their entries. The Government Index adds court and citation filters for finding decisions that interpret a statute.
Yes. The Grants.gov provider in Firecrawl Alexandria searches federal funding opportunities by keyword, agency, status, eligibility, funding category and posted date. Its detail call returns eligibility, funding amounts, deadlines, amendments and attachments for one opportunity, and each call costs 5 credits.
More Questions 1
Add the Firecrawl connector to Claude and turn it on in the chat. Then ask Claude to use Firecrawl to search the Government Index for the rules you need, such as EPA final rules on PFAS in drinking water. Claude answers with each rule's title and its federalregister.gov or GovInfo link.
The Firecrawl MCP server reaches every Public records provider in Firecrawl Alexandria with one API key. The agent finds tools with firecrawl_search, checks their inputs and prices with firecrawl_find_tools, and runs them with firecrawl_scrape. The Government Index has its own MCP tool, firecrawl_gov_search, and its own CLI command, firecrawl gov. Index searches are free and use no credits, and the CLI and the /search/gov endpoint work without an API key. A keyless MCP connection reaches the index through firecrawl_search with the gov category. The same providers work in ChatGPT through the Firecrawl plugin and in Claude through the Firecrawl connector.
More Questions 2
Point Firecrawl Monitor at the EPA's page in the Federal Register, or run a web-scale monitor with a goal such as new EPA final rules. It sends a webhook, email or Slack message when something new appears. A Government Index search then pulls the rule text and the laws it cites, on the same API key.
An agent reads the company's record in the registry of the state where it was formed. Firecrawl Alexandria covers Delaware, Florida Sunbiz, Colorado, Virginia, Georgia and Missouri, plus UK Companies House and the GLEIF LEI index. Each returns status, formation date and registered agent where the registry publishes them. OpenSanctions and the OFAC list add a sanctions check.
More Questions 3
Some providers ask your organization to accept their data terms before the first call. An organization admin accepts them once in the Firecrawl dashboard under Settings, Data Sources, and every API key on the account can then use that provider.
