# 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.
