The fields this action accepts.

Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.

Field	Type	Required	Description
URL url	string	Required	Fully-qualified URL to scrape.
Formats formats	array	Optional	Output formats. Any combination of: markdown, html, rawHtml, links, screenshot, json.
Only Main Content only_main_content	boolean	Optional	Strip nav/footer/sidebar boilerplate so the markdown is just the article. Set false if you need the full page.
Wait For (ms) wait_for	number	Optional	Milliseconds to wait after page load before scraping. Useful for JS-rendered pages.
Timeout (ms) timeout	number	Optional	Hard cap on the scrape duration. Default ~30 seconds; raise for slow pages.
Mobile Viewport mobile	boolean	Optional	Render the page as a mobile browser. Useful for sites with mobile-only content or different mobile layouts.
Proxy proxy	options	Optional	Proxy strategy. Use 'stealth' for sites that return 403/blocked with the default.

FAQ

Questions about Scrape URL.

What does the Scrape URL action do in Firecrawl?

Fetches and returns cleaned markdown for a single URL. Handles JavaScript rendering and bot evasion. The right tool for "extract content from this one URL for LLM consumption" workflows.

What inputs does Scrape URL require?

Required: URL. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Firecrawl returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Scrape URL support batch operations?

Yes. Run Scrape URL inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Firecrawl's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
