Scraping Basics (5 prompts)

1. "How would I use Firecrawl to scrape https://books.toscrape.com/catalogue/a-light-in-the-attic_1000/index.html and get back clean markdown without headers, footers, or navigation."
2. "How do I scrape https://news.ycombinator.com with Firecrawl and get both a screenshot and the markdown content in one call?"
3. "Can Firecrawl scrape https://dashboard.stripe.com/payments if I pass session cookies? How do I set up custom headers?"
4. "What's the difference between Firecrawl's onlyMainContent and onlyCleanContent options when scraping?"
5. "How would I scrape the mobile version of https://www.bbc.co.uk/news using Firecrawl — the desktop layout hides some content I need."

Rewritten Agent Test Prompts

1. POST /webhooks/agent.started

• Old prompt: "Using https://docs.firecrawl.dev, integrate POST /webhooks/agent.started from Firecrawl's API into my codebase and test it out. Write a Python script."
• New prompt: "Write a Python script that listens for when a Firecrawl agent starts running and logs the event."
• Changes:
  • Replaced endpoint path with the user's actual goal ("listens for when an agent starts")
  • Leads with the deliverable instead of the docs URL
