What this skill does
firecrawl scrape Scrape one or more URLs. Returns clean, LLM-optimized markdown. Multiple URLs are scraped concurrently. Quick start Run firecrawl scrape --help for the full option list. Done when: you have the scraped content — on stdout, in your -o file, or under .firecrawl/ for multi-URL scrapes — and have inspected it with bounded reads (head, grep) to answer the request. 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). Scrape handles static pages and JS-rendered SPAs. Escalate to interact when the page needs interaction (clicks, form fills, pagination) or scrape misses content. Multiple URLs are scraped concurrently — check firecrawl --status for your concurrency limit. This mode saves markdown only and ignores -o; other requested formats are dropped. If markdown wasn't requested, the whole JSON response is written into the .md file. 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 firecrawl-build-scrape — building scrape into an app instead of running it here
