Description
Firecrawl scrape is an agent skill that extracts clean markdown from any web page. It handles static pages as well as JavaScript-rendered single-page applications, where you can set a wait time so the page finishes rendering before it is read. It can scrape several URLs at once, and the output can be markdown, HTML, a list of links or a screenshot. The skill is part of the Firecrawl command-line tool. You run firecrawl scrape with a URL and an output path, for example saving the page into a .firecrawl folder. Options include a flag that keeps only the main content and drops navigation and footers, and a wait-for setting in milliseconds for pages that render with JavaScript. For structured datasets, the skill first looks for a suitable workflow or data provider using the separate search skill, and it reads a known page directly when the URL is already chosen. It is aimed at agents and developers who need page content as text for research, summarizing or feeding a model, without writing their own scraper. The skill is listed on skills.sh under the Firecrawl CLI repository, which has about 651 stars. The skills.sh listing shows Gen Agent Trust Hub: Pass, Socket: Pass and Snyk: Warn.…
