Integrate Firecrawl `/scrape` into product code for single-page extraction. Use when an app already has a URL and needs markdown, HTML, links, screenshots, metadata, or structured page output. Prefer this skill over broader crawl patterns when the feature is page-level.

Firecrawl Build Scrape

Use this when the application already has the URL and needs content from one page.

Use This When

  • the feature starts from a known URL
  • you need page content for retrieval, summarization, enrichment, or monitoring
  • you want the default extraction primitive before considering /interact

Default Recommendations

  • Return markdown unless the feature truly needs another format.
  • Use onlyMainContent for article-like pages where nav and chrome add noise.
  • Add waits or other rendering options only when the page needs them.

Common Product Patterns

  • knowledge ingestion from known URLs
  • enrichment from a company, product, or docs page
  • pricing, changelog, and documentation extraction
  • page-level quality checks or monitoring

Escalation Rules

Implementation Notes

  • Keep the integration narrow: one feature, one URL, one extraction contract.
  • Treat /scrape as the default primitive for downstream LLM or indexing pipelines.
  • Request richer formats only when the consumer needs them, such as links, screenshots, or branding data.
