FAQPage Schema
How do I scrape web pages and extract content automatically?

Web page scraping extracts text, metadata, and structured content from URLs using automated tools. Firecrawl MCP handles this by fetching pages and converting them to Markdown, HTML, or plain text formats for downstream processing without manual copying.

What setup do I need to start scraping with Firecrawl?

Set up Firecrawl by configuring your MCP server with a FIRECRAWL_API_KEY in mcp_config.json, then run the scraper with a target URL and desired output format. The runtime harness manages authentication and format conversion automatically.

Can I use Firecrawl for extracting API documentation from public websites?

Yes. Firecrawl scrapes public web pages and extracts readable content as Markdown or text, making it ideal for pulling API docs, technical guides, or structured reference material from any publicly accessible URL.

What output formats does web scraping via Firecrawl support?

Firecrawl outputs scraped content in three formats: Markdown for structured readability, HTML for preservation of page layout, or plain text for minimal processing and downstream analysis.

Does Firecrawl work for scraping content across different domains and websites?

Yes. Firecrawl applies to broad web-scraping tasks across any domain by accepting direct URLs and returning extracted content. It handles site-agnostic content extraction without domain-specific configuration.
