firecrawl-build-onboarding

Firecrawl Build Onboarding Use this skill for the application-integration path from Firecrawl's onboarding flow. Install If you haven't installed yet, one command sets up both the CLI tools (for live web work) and the build skills (for app integration): npx -y firecrawl-cli@latest init --all --browser This installs the Firecrawl CLI, the CLI skills, and these build skills together. It also opens browser auth so the human can sign in or create an account. No separate npx skills add step is needed. Use This When a project needs FIRECRAWL_API_KEY the user wants Firecrawl wired into .env you are adding Firecrawl to an app for the first time you need to choose the first SDK or REST path If the human still needs to sign up, sign in, or authorize access in the browser, use the auth flow reference in this skill. Quick Start If the user already has an API key, place it in .env : FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-... If the project is self-hosted, also set: FIRECRAWL_API_URL=https://your-firecrawl-instance.example.com Then decide which integration path applies: Fresh project -> choose the target stack, install the SDK, add the first Firecrawl call, and run a smoke test Existing project -> inspect the repo first, then integrate Firecrawl where the project already handles third-party APIs and env vars What Do You Need? Task Reference Run the browser auth flow and save FIRECRAWL_API_KEY references/auth-flow.md Install the right SDK references/sdk-installation.md Put credentials into .env or project config references/project-setup.md Choose the right endpoint after setup firecrawl-build Need live web tooling during this task The CLI skills are already installed from the same command Start implementation from a known URL firecrawl-build-scrape Start implementation from a query firecrawl-build-search Docs (Source of Truth) Read the source-of-truth page for your project language for SDK usage, schemas, and examples: Node / TypeScript : docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/node Python : docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/python Rust : docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/rust Java : docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/java Elixir : docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/elixir cURL / REST : docs.firecrawl.dev/agent-source-of-truth/curl After Setup Once the key is present: decide whether this is a fresh project or an existing codebase ask what Firecrawl should do in the product pick the narrowest endpoint that matches that behavior read the source-of-truth page for the project language before writing code add the SDK or REST call in code run a smoke test that proves one real Firecrawl request succeeds use the endpoint-specific skills in this repo for implementation guidance if you also need live web tooling during the current task, the CLI skills are already installed — use firecrawl/cli
