Decide whether this is a **fresh project** or an **existing project**.\n2. Ask what web data the product needs and what Firecrawl should do in the product.\n3. If this is an existing project, inspect the repo before choosing SDK, REST, file locations, or env handling.\n\nFor the full checklist, see [references/project-intake.md](references/project-intake.md).\n\n## What Do You Need?\n\n| Task                                                 | Reference                                                                |\n| ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |\n| **Choose fresh project vs existing project flow**    | [references/project-intake.md](references/project-intake.md)             |\n| **Choose the right endpoint**                        | [references/endpoint-selection.md](references/endpoint-selection.md)     |\n| **Wire Firecrawl into product code**                 | [references/integration-patterns.md](references/integration-patterns.md) |\n| **Install an SDK or use REST**                       | [references/sdk-installation.md](references/sdk-installation.md)         |\n| **Set up `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` or self-hosted config** | [references/auth-and-env.md](references/auth-and-env.md)                 |\n| **Get credentials into the project**                 | [firecrawl-build-onboarding](../firecrawl-build-onboarding/SKILL.md)     |\n| **Implement single-page extraction**                 | [firecrawl-build-scrape](../firecrawl-build-scrape/SKILL.md)             |\n| **Implement discovery-first flows**                  | [firecrawl-build-search](../firecrawl-build-search/SKILL.md)             |\n| **Implement post-scrape browser actions**            | [firecrawl-build-interact](../firecrawl-build-interact/SKILL.md)         |\n| **Verify the integration actually works**            | [references/verification.md](references/verification.md)                 |\n\n## Docs Are the Source of Truth\n\nThese language-specific reference pages are the canonical source of truth\nfor SDK usage, request/response schemas, parameters, and endpoint behavior.\nRead the page that matches the project language before writing integration code:\n\n- **Node / TypeScript**: [docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/node](https://docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/node)\n- **Python**: [docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/python](https://docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/python)\n- **Rust**: [docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/rust](https://docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/rust)\n- **Java**: [docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/java](https://docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/java)\n- **Elixir**: [docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/elixir](https://docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/elixir)\n- **cURL / REST**: [docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/curl](https://docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/curl)\n\nThese skills describe when and why to use each endpoint. For how to call\nthem, read the source-of-truth page for your language.\n\n## Default Integration Order\n\n1. Get `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` or `FIRECRAWL_API_URL` right.\n2. Decide whether this is a fresh project or an existing codebase.\n3. Ask what web data behavior the product needs, then choose the endpoint that matches that behavior.\n4. For existing projects, inspect the repo and match its conventions before coding.\n5. Install the SDK for the target stack, or call REST directly.\n6. Read the source-of-truth page for your project language before writing integration code.\n7. Keep endpoint-specific implementation details in the narrower skills linked above.\n8. Run a smoke test that proves a real Firecrawl request succeeds.\n\n## Boundary With The CLI\n\nBoth this repo and the CLI skills are installed by the same command:\n\n```bash\nnpx -y firecrawl-cli@latest init --all --browser\n```\n\nUse these build skills for application integration. Use `firecrawl/cli`\nfor live web work during the current session (one-off research, terminal\nworkflows, editor setup). Both are available after install.\n","contentSource":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/firecrawl/skills/main/skills/firecrawl-build/SKILL.md","contentFetchedAt":"2026-07-28T23:15:38.962Z"},{"name":"firecrawl-build-scrape","url":"https://github.com/firecrawl/skills/tree/main/skills/firecrawl-build-scrape","install":"npx skills add firecrawl/skills --skill firecrawl-build-scrape","sdk":"firecrawl","key":"firecrawl/firecrawl-build-scrape","description":"Integrate Firecrawl `/scrape` into product code for single-page extraction.
