firecrawl-hello-world
Create the smallest current Firecrawl v2 scrape and verify its provenance, origin status, and output without leaking credentials. Use when testing a new installation. Trigger with "Firecrawl hello world", "first Firecrawl scrape", or "verify Firecrawl setup".
Why this skill is useful
Provides specific Firecrawl API commands and examples that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Firecrawl v2 First Verified Scrape Overview Prove one controlled page can be retrieved through the current v2 surface. A successful transport is not enough: verify the document came from the expected URL and did not capture an origin error page. Prerequisites The target repository or integration path and the requested operator outcome. The source authorization, data classification, and environment policy. Current Firecrawl documentation, credentials only when needed, and an owner for approvals. Current Contract For Node, install firecrawl, import the named Firecrawl client, and call scrape. For Python, install firecrawl-py, import Firecrawl, and call scrape. REST uses POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/scrape with Bearer authentication. The SDK returns the document data directly; REST wraps it in success and data. Authentication For authenticated Cloud operations, inject FIRECRAWLAPIKEY from an approved secret manager. REST requests use Authorization: Bearer with the key. Never print, commit, transmit, or place a key in a URL. Keyless access is suitable only where the current documentation explicitly allows it and the workload accepts its limits; production workflows should make identity and team ownership explicit. Instructions 1. Choose an approved public or synthetic URL with stable, non-sensitive content and record the expected title or marker. 2. Install the official SDK with the repository's locked package manager, or use REST. Record the resolved package version without changing unrelated dependencies. 3. Inject FIRECRAWLAPIKEY from the secret manager for authenticated use. Keyless evaluation is allowed only for the operations and limits currently documented. 4. Request markdown only and avoid actions, custom headers, screenshots, raw HTML, location, proxy overrides, and retention changes in the first test. 5. Assert the expected metadata.sourceURL, a successful metadata.statusCode, non-empty markdown, and the expected marker. Do not print the full body. 6. …
