Documented steps
POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/scrape with {"url":"https://example.com/page"} and Authorization: Bearer <token>.
Output defaults to markdown via onlyMainContent:true (deterministic non-LLM filter stripping headers/navs/footers).
For denoised output enable onlyCleanContent:true (Beta LLM pass that also removes cookie banners, ads, breadcrumbs, comments) — preserves headings/lists/tables/code/images.
Set location (ISO country code) and proxy (basic/enhanced/auto) to shape anti-bot handling and geo-emulation.
Handle pages that need interaction via actions or the dedicated Interact endpoint (POST /v2/scrape/{scrapeId}/interact) rather than the legacy actions param for complex flows.
Known gotchas
proxy defaults to 'auto' — it retries with 'enhanced' if basic fails, and you are billed up to 5 credits per request if an enhanced retry succeeds.
onlyCleanContent is Beta and is SKIPPED (with a warning) if markdown exceeds the model token limit; it is NOT supported on zero-data-retention requests.
PDF pages are billed 1 credit per page by default (parsers default [{type:"pdf"}]).
Block attention: onlyMainContent removes boilerplate before markdown generation, so it changes output vs rawHtml.
