import { generateText } from 'ai';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { scrapeTool } from 'firecrawl-aisdk';

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-5-mini'),
  prompt: 'Scrape https://firecrawl.dev and summarize what it does',
  tools: { scrape: scrapeTool },
});

  model: openai('gpt-5-mini'),
  prompt: 'Scrape https://firecrawl.dev and summarize what it does',
  tools: { scrape: scrapeTool },
});

console.log(text);
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-5-mini'),
  prompt: 'Search for Firecrawl and summarize what you find',

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-5-mini'),
  prompt: 'Map https://docs.firecrawl.dev and list the main sections',
  tools: { map: mapTool },
});

console.log(text);

Crawl

Async operation - include pollTool to check job status.
import { generateText } from 'ai';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { crawlTool, pollTool } from 'firecrawl-aisdk';

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-5-mini'),
  prompt: 'Crawl https://docs.firecrawl.dev (limit 3 pages) and summarize',
  tools: { crawl: crawlTool, poll: pollTool },
});

console.log(text);

Batch Scrape

Async operation - include pollTool to check job status.
import { generateText } from 'ai';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { batchScrapeTool, pollTool } from 'firecrawl-aisdk';

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-5-mini'),
  prompt: 'Scrape https://firecrawl.dev and https://docs.firecrawl.dev, then compare',
  tools: { batchScrape: batchScrapeTool, poll: pollTool },
});

console.log(text);

Extract

Async operation - include pollTool to check job status.
import { generateText } from 'ai';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { extractTool, pollTool } from 'firecrawl-aisdk';

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-5-mini'),
  prompt: 'Extract the main features from https://firecrawl.dev',
  tools: { extract: extractTool, poll: pollTool },
});

console.log(text);

Search + Scrape

import { generateText } from 'ai';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { searchTool, scrapeTool } from 'firecrawl-aisdk';

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-5-mini'),
  prompt: 'Search for Firecrawl, scrape the top result, and explain what it does',
  tools: { search: searchTool, scrape: scrapeTool },
});

console.log(text);

Stream

import { streamText } from 'ai';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { scrapeTool } from 'firecrawl-aisdk';

const result = streamText({
  model: openai('gpt-5-mini'),
  prompt: 'Scrape https://firecrawl.dev and explain what it does',
  tools: { scrape: scrapeTool },
});

for await (const chunk of result.textStream) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk);
}
