Firecrawl

API to crawl and convert websites to LLM-ready data

FreemiumFree TierAdded Feb 1, 2024

About

Firecrawl is an API that crawls websites and converts them into clean, structured Markdown or data that LLMs can consume. Point it at any URL and it handles JavaScript rendering, pagination, link following, and content extraction — returning clean text instead of messy HTML. Firecrawl is essential infrastructure for RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) pipelines, AI agents that browse the web, and any application that needs to feed web content to language models. Open-source and self-hostable.
