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

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 --redact-pii Redact personally identifiable information from output -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
