firecrawl-scrape
Extract clean markdown from any URL, including JavaScript-rendered SPAs. Use this skill whenever the user provides a URL and wants its content, says "scrape", "grab", "fetch", "pull", "get the page", "extract from this URL", or "read this webpage". Handles JS-rendered pages, multiple concurrent URLs, and returns LLM-optimized markdown. Use this instead of WebFetch for any webpage content extraction.
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands for scraping content from URLs, including handling JavaScript-rendered pages, which the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
firecrawl scrape Scrape one or more URLs. Returns clean, LLM-optimized markdown. Multiple URLs are scraped concurrently. When to use You have a specific URL and want its content The page is static or JS-rendered (SPA) Step 2 in the workflow escalation pattern: search → scrape → map → crawl → interact Quick start Options Option Description ------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------- -f, --format <formats> Output formats: markdown, html, rawHtml, links, screenshot, json -Q, --query <prompt> Ask a question about the page content (5 credits) -H Include HTTP headers in output --only-main-content Strip nav, footer, sidebar — main content only --wait-for <ms> Wait for JS rendering before scraping --include-tags <tags> Only include these HTML tags --exclude-tags <tags> Exclude these HTML tags -o, --output <path> Output file path Tips Prefer plain scrape over --query. Scrape to a file, then use grep, head, or read the markdown directly — you can search and reason over the full content yourself. Use --query only when you want a single targeted answer without saving the page (costs 5 extra credits). Try scrape before interact. Scrape handles static pages and JS-rendered SPAs. Only escalate to interact when you need interaction (clicks, form fills, pagination). Multiple URLs are scraped concurrently — check firecrawl --status for your concurrency limit. Single format outputs raw content. Multiple formats (e.g., --format markdown,links) output JSON. Always quote URLs — shell interprets ? and & as special characters. Naming convention: .firecrawl/{site}-{path}.md See also firecrawl-search — find pages when you don't have a URL firecrawl-interact — when scrape can't get the content, use interact to click, fill forms, etc. firecrawl-download — bulk download an entire site to local files
