firecrawl/<model-id>How Firecrawl billing works with kRouter
Firecrawl is pay-per-token. You bring your own API key and kRouter routes to it, so you keep your own rate limits and billing relationship. kRouter authenticates it via apikey.
Through kRouter, Firecrawl serves URL fetching, so an agent can read a page mid-conversation. Requests reach it through the same local OpenAI-compatible endpoint as every other provider, so switching to or from Firecrawl is a one-line model change in your client rather than a rewrite.

Firecrawl FAQ
Is Firecrawl free through kRouter?
Firecrawl is pay-per-token: you bring your own API key and are billed by Firecrawl at their rates. kRouter adds nothing on top and is free and MIT-licensed.
How do I use Firecrawl with Claude Code or Cursor?
Connect Firecrawl in the kRouter dashboard, then point your tool at kRouter's local endpoint (http://localhost:20128/v1) with a kRouter API key. Any OpenAI-compatible client works, and models are addressed as firecrawl/<model>.
What happens when Firecrawl is rate limited?
kRouter detects the limit, parks that account until its real reset time, and fails over to your next connected account or provider — so the request still completes instead of erroring.
