Firecrawl

Web data API that turns websites into LLM-ready markdown or structured data. Scrapes single pages or entire sites, handles JavaScript-rendered content, and delivers clean output for AI applications without managing proxies or headless browsers yourself.

Backed by Y Combinator and trusted by tens of thousands of companies. Firecrawl differentiates with reliable coverage of JS-heavy pages where traditional scrapers and cURL fail, plus output optimized for token efficiency in LLM pipelines. Open source core with a hosted API for production use, SOC 2 Type 2 certified.

Key capabilities:

• Scrape URLs to markdown, HTML, JSON, or screenshots with a single API call
• Search the web and optionally scrape full page content from results
• Crawl entire domains and map all accessible URLs
• Agent mode for autonomous web data gathering from natural language prompts
• Browser sandbox for interactive workflows: click, scroll, fill forms, authenticate
• MCP server and CLI skill for AI coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf
• Python, Node.js, and cURL SDKs with optional caching and scheduled syncs
• Parsing for web-hosted PDFs and docx files

Common uses: powering AI assistants and chatbots with real-time web context, enriching sales leads with public company data, building research tools that aggregate documents and articles. Developers integrate it via REST API or SDKs, or equip agents with the Firecrawl skill for one-command setup. Works with LangChain, LlamaIndex, and similar AI frameworks.
