About This Skill

# Firecrawl Web Skill

This skill provides web access through Firecrawl's API.

Script Location

All commands use the bundled script: ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py

Getting Page Content

Fetch any webpage as clean markdown:

```bash python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py markdown "https://example.com" ```

For cleaner output without navigation and footers:

```bash python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py markdown "https://example.com" --main-only ```

Taking Screenshots

Capture a full-page screenshot:

```bash python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py screenshot "https://example.com" -o page.png ```

Extracting Structured Data

Extract specific data using a JSON schema. Create a schema file first:

```json { "type": "object", "properties": { "title": {"type": "string"}, "price": {"type": "number"}, "features": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}} } } ```

Then extract:

```bash python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py extract "https://example.com/product" --schema schema.json ```

Add a prompt for better accuracy:

```bash python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py extract "https://example.com/product" --schema schema.json --prompt "Extract the main product details" ```

Searching the Web

Search for current information:

```bash python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py search "Python 3.13 new features" ```

Limit results:

```bash python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py search "latest React documentation" --limit 3 ```

Crawling Documentation

Crawl a documentation site to learn about a new framework:

```bash python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py crawl "https://docs.newframework.dev" --limit 30 ```

Save pages to a directory:

```bash python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py crawl "https://docs.example.com" --limit 50 --output ./docs ```

Each page costs one credit. Set a reasonable limit to avoid burning through your quota.
