Turn any website into clean, LLM‑ready data instantly
Firecrawl provides a fast API that scrapes, crawls, maps, and extracts websites into clean markdown, HTML, or structured data, handling dynamic content and anti‑bot protections.
Firecrawl is an API‑first service that transforms any public website into LLM‑ready formats such as markdown, HTML, screenshots, and structured JSON. It can scrape a single page, crawl an entire site (including subpages), map all discovered URLs, and run AI‑powered extraction to pull out tables, lists, or custom data structures. The platform also offers change‑tracking, allowing you to monitor updates over time.
Developers building Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) bots, data scientists gathering web corpora, and low‑code platform creators can integrate Firecrawl via its documented SDKs (Python, Node) or through LangChain, LlamaIndex, and other LLM frameworks. While a hosted version is production‑ready, the repository can be run locally for experimentation, though full self‑hosting is still under development. Integration points include Zapier, Pabbly Connect, and community SDKs for Go and Rust, making it easy to embed web data extraction into existing workflows.
When teams consider Firecrawl, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Chatbot with up‑to‑date website knowledge
Generates accurate answers using the latest site content fetched in markdown
Automated market research
Extracts product specifications and pricing across competitor sites for analysis
Content summarization pipeline
Converts articles to clean markdown for downstream LLM summarization
Website change alerts
Detects and notifies when key pages are updated, enabling timely actions
Yes, you must sign up on Firecrawl and obtain an API key for authenticated requests.
Local execution is possible for testing, but full self‑hosting is still under development.
Markdown, HTML, screenshots, and structured JSON data are available, plus metadata extraction.
The service includes a headless browser layer that renders dynamic content before extraction.
Usage is tracked via credits per request; limits depend on your subscription plan.
