Month: 2025-11 Concise monthly summary of key business value and technical accomplishments across the Firecrawl portfolio for November 2025. Key features delivered: - Billing and Usage Policy Update (firecrawl/firecrawl-docs): Updated and clarified billing structure, API usage limits, and pricing around tokens converted to credits. This improves user understanding of costs, sub-plan boundaries, and ensures pricing docs align with product changes. Commit references include 241d481, f3dfa906, and 024b9176. - Proxy Availability Update (firecrawl/firecrawl-docs): Refreshed the list of available proxies by removing obsolete locations and adding new ones; updated last-modified warning to reflect current offerings. Commit: dc251ea9. - Scraping Wait Behavior Clarification (firecrawl/firecrawl-docs): Documented the interaction between waitFor and the smart wait feature, noting that the configured wait time is added on top of smart wait for clarity. Commit: d47e09bb. Major bugs fixed: - Concurrency-Safe Job ID Backfill during zscan (mendableai/firecrawl): Fixed a concurrency backfill issue by adjusting how job IDs are parsed from zscan results, ensuring only correct members are added to the queued job IDs set. Commit: 713adb86. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Reduced customer confusion and support load through up-to-date, precise docs covering billing, usage limits, and proxy offerings. - Improved reliability and accuracy of proxy availability data and scraping workflow configurations, contributing to more predictable performance and onboarding. - Strengthened data integrity and reliability of zscan job queuing, reducing risk of misrouted or duplicated jobs in concurrent runs. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Documentation discipline across multiple repos (firecrawl-docs) and alignment with product changes (billing, rate limits, search pricing, proxies, wait behavior). - API usage modeling and pricing clarity, including tokens-to-credits migration implications. - Data-quality governance for proxy listings and last-modified signaling. - Concurrency control concepts and backfill correctness in zscan workflow. Business value delivered: - Clear pricing and usage expectations lead to faster customer adoption and lower support overhead. - More reliable scraping infrastructure translates to higher data quality and user trust. - Deterministic job queuing reduces operational risk and improves platform reliability for concurrent workloads.

Monthly work summary for 2025-10 focusing on mendableai/firecrawl.
