Firecrawl Core Workflow A — Scrape & Crawl

Overview

Primary workflow for Firecrawl: convert websites into clean LLM-ready markdown. Covers single-page scraping with scrapeUrl, multi-page crawling with crawlUrl, async crawl jobs with polling, and content processing pipelines.

Prerequisites

• @mendable/firecrawl-js installed
• FIRECRAWL_API_KEY environment variable set
• Target URL(s) identified

Instructions

Step 1: Single-Page Scrape

import FirecrawlApp from "@mendable/firecrawl-js";

const firecrawl = new FirecrawlApp({
  apiKey: process.env.FIRECRAWL_API_KEY!,
});

// Scrape a single page to clean markdown
const result = await firecrawl.scrapeUrl("https://docs.example.com/api", {
  formats: ["markdown"],
  onlyMainContent: true,  // strips nav, footer, sidebars
  waitFor: 2000,           // wait 2s for JS to render
});

if (result.success) {
  console.log("Title:", result.metadata?.title);
  console.log("Source:", result.metadata?.sourceURL);
  console.log(, result.?.(, ));
}
