# Docs Search

The `/support/docs-search` endpoint answers questions using Firecrawl's public documentation. Requires your Firecrawl API key. Returns a concise, docs-grounded answer with citations to the relevant documentation pages.

## Use cases

* **AI agents** that need to look up Firecrawl API usage, parameters, or best practices
* **Support bots** that answer customer questions from the docs
* **Developer tools** that surface relevant documentation inline

## Example

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/support/docs-search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer fc-YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "question": "what header carries the webhook signature, and how do I verify it?"
  }'
```

### Response

```json theme={null}
{
  "requestId": "req_...",
  "answer": "The signature is sent in the X-Firecrawl-Signature header...",
  "evidence": [
    {
      "pathOrUrl": "webhooks/security.mdx#L1-L52",
      "reason": "Documents webhook signature verification"
    }
  ],
  "usage": { "inputTokens": 4356, "outputTokens": 688, "totalTokens": 5044 },
  "durationMs": 11252
}
```
