---name: firecrawl-scrapedescription: |  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.allowed-tools:  - Bash(firecrawl *)  - Bash(npx firecrawl *)--- # 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](firecrawl-cli): search → **scrape** → map → crawl → interact ## Quick start ```bash# Basic markdown extractionfirecrawl scrape "<url>" -o .firecrawl/page.md # Main content only, no nav/footerfirecrawl scrape "<url>" --only-main-content -o .firecrawl/page.md # Wait for JS to render, then scrapefirecrawl scrape "<url>" --wait-for 3000 -o .firecrawl/page.md # Multiple URLs (each saved to .firecrawl/)firecrawl scrape https://example.com https://example.com/blog https://example.com/docs # Get markdown and links togetherfirecrawl scrape "<url>" --format markdown,links -o .firecrawl/page.json # Ask a question about the pagefirecrawl scrape "https://example.com/pricing" --query "What is the enterprise plan price?"``` ## 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](../firecrawl-search/SKILL.md) — find pages when you don't have a URL- [firecrawl-interact](../firecrawl-interact/SKILL.md) — when scrape can't get the content, use `interact` to click, fill forms, etc.- [firecrawl-download](../firecrawl-download/SKILL.md) — bulk download an entire site to local files
