firecrawl scrape

Scrape one or more URLs. Returns clean, LLM-optimized markdown. Multiple URLs are scraped concurrently.

Quick start

bash

# Basic markdown extraction
firecrawl scrape "<url>" -o .firecrawl/page.md

# Main content only, no nav/footer
firecrawl scrape "<url>" --only-main-content -o .firecrawl/page.md

# Wait for JS to render, then scrape
firecrawl scrape "<url>" --wait-for 3000 -o .firecrawl/page.md

# Multiple URLs (markdown only; each saved to .firecrawl/; -o is ignored)
firecrawl scrape https://example.com https://example.com/blog https://example.com/docs

# Get markdown and links together
firecrawl scrape "<url>" --format markdown,links -o .firecrawl/page.json

# Ask a question about the page
firecrawl scrape "https://example.com/pricing" --query "What is the enterprise plan price?"

Run

firecrawl scrape --help

for the full option list.

Done when: you have the scraped content — on stdout, in your

-o

file, or under

.firecrawl/

for multi-URL scrapes — and have inspected it with bounded reads (

head

,

grep

) to answer the request.

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).
Scrape handles static pages and JS-rendered SPAs. Escalate to
```
interact
```
when the page needs interaction (clicks, form fills, pagination) or scrape misses content.
Multiple URLs are scraped concurrently — check
```
firecrawl --status
```
for your concurrency limit. This mode saves markdown only and ignores
```
-o
```
; other requested formats are dropped. If markdown wasn't requested, the whole JSON response is written into the
```
.md
```
file.
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
```
