🔥 Firecrawl

The API to search, scrape, and interact with the web at scale. 🔥 The web context API to find sources, extract content, and turn it into clean Markdown or structured data your agents can ship with. Open source and available as a hosted service.

Why Firecrawl?

Industry-leading reliability: Covers 96% of the web, including JS-heavy pages — no proxy headaches, just clean data (see benchmarks)
Blazingly fast: P95 latency of 3.4s across millions of pages, built for real-time agents and dynamic apps
LLM-ready output: Clean markdown, structured JSON, screenshots, and more — spend fewer tokens, build better AI apps
We handle the hard stuff: Rotating proxies, orchestration, rate limits, JS-blocked content, and more — zero configuration
Agent ready: Connect Firecrawl to any AI agent or MCP client with a single command
Media parsing: Parse and extract content from web-hosted PDFs, DOCX, and more
Actions: Click, scroll, write, wait, and press before extracting content
Open source: Developed transparently and collaboratively — join our community
