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:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py markdown "https://example.com"
For cleaner output without navigation and footers:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py markdown "https://example.com" --main-only
Taking Screenshots
Capture a full-page screenshot:
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:
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"title": {"type": "string"},
"price": {"type": "number"},
"features": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}}
}
}
Then extract:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py extract "https://example.com/product" --schema schema.json
Add a prompt for better accuracy:
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:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py search "Python 3.13 new features"
Limit results:
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:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py crawl "https://docs.newframework.dev" --limit 30
Save pages to a directory:
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.
