# Firecrawl Web Skill

Scrape, search, and crawl the web using [Firecrawl](https://firecrawl.dev).

## Setup

1. Get your API key from [firecrawl.dev/app/api-keys](https://www.firecrawl.dev/app/api-keys)
2. Set the environment variable:
   ```bash
   export FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-your-key-here
   ```
3. Install the SDK:
   ```bash
   pip3 install firecrawl
   ```

## Usage

All commands use the bundled `fc.py` script in this skill's directory.

### Get Page as Markdown

Fetch any URL and convert to clean markdown. Handles JavaScript-rendered content.

```bash
python3 fc.py markdown "https://example.com"
python3 fc.py markdown "https://example.com" --main-only  # skip nav/footer
```

### Take Screenshot

Capture a full-page screenshot of any URL.

```bash
python3 fc.py screenshot "https://example.com" -o screenshot.png
```

### Extract Structured Data

Pull specific fields from a page using a JSON schema.

**Schema example** (`schema.json`):
```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "title": { "type": "string" },
    "price": { "type": "number" },
    "features": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "string" } }
  }
}
```

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

### Web Search

Search the web and get content from results (may require paid tier).

```bash
python3 fc.py search "Python 3.13 new features" --limit 5
```

### Crawl Documentation

Crawl an entire documentation site. Great for learning new frameworks.

```bash
python3 fc.py crawl "https://docs.example.com" --limit 30
python3 fc.py crawl "https://docs.example.com" --limit 50 --output ./docs
```

**Note:** Each page costs 1 credit. Set reasonable limits.

### Map Site URLs

Discover all URLs on a website before deciding what to scrape.

```bash
python3 fc.py map "https://example.com" --limit 100
python3 fc.py map "https://example.com" --search "api"
```

## Example Prompts

- *"Scrape https://blog.example.com/post and summarize it"*
- *"Take a screenshot of stripe.com"*
- *"Extract the name, price, and features from this product page"*
- *"Crawl the Astro docs so you can help me build a site"*
- *"Map all the URLs on docs.stripe.com"*

## Pricing

Free tier includes 500 credits. 1 credit = 1 page/screenshot/search query.
