## Firecrawl Scrape

### What it is
Firecrawl scrapes a website to extract comprehensive data while bypassing blockers.

### How it works
<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->
This block uses Firecrawl's scraping API to extract content from a single URL. It handles JavaScript rendering, bypasses anti-bot measures, and can return content in multiple formats including markdown, HTML, and screenshots.

Configure output formats, filter to main content only, and set wait times for dynamic pages. The block returns comprehensive results including extracted content, links found on the page, and optional change tracking data.
