COMPOSIO INSTANT

What is Composio Instant?

Composio Instant lets your agent use paid APIs like Firecrawl without a separate account or API key for each one. New accounts start with $2 of free credit.

No Firecrawl account or key

Your agent calls Firecrawl through Composio, so there is nothing to sign up for, store, or rotate.

Pay per call, at cost

$0.003 per basic page scraped, paid from your Composio balance with zero markup.

Works in any agent

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients, or your own code with the Composio SDK.
