firecrawl scrape

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

When to use

- You have a specific URL and want its content

- The page is static or JS-rendered (SPA)

- Step 2 in the workflow escalation pattern: search → scrape → map → crawl → interact

Quick start
