Scrape a single URL into clean markdown/HTML/screenshot output with the Firecrawl v2 API (POST /v2/scrape)

Documented steps

1. AUTH: Authorization: Bearer fc-YOUR_API_KEY header on every request; base URL https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2
2. POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/scrape with headers 'Authorization: Bearer fc-YOUR_API_KEY' and 'Content-Type: application/json'
3. Minimal body: {"url": "https://example.com", "formats": ["markdown"]}
4. For multiple outputs, mix string and object formats, e.g. ["markdown", {"type":"html"}, {"type":"screenshot","fullPage":true}, {"type":"links"}, {"type":"summary"}]
5. Tune extraction with onlyMainContent (default true), waitFor (ms delay before capture, default 0), mobile (default false)
6. Set timeout (default 60000 ms, max 300000) and maxAge (cache freshness window, default 172800000 ms = 48h; lower it or set 0 to force a fresh fetch)
7. Read results at data.markdown / data.html / data.rawHtml / data.screenshot (a URL) / data.metadata
8. Handle 402 (credits exhausted) and 429 (rate limited) explicitly — they need different remediation
