Firecrawl
API and open-source engine that turns websites into clean, LLM-ready markdown and structured data.
Firecrawl crawls and scrapes websites, converting dynamic HTML and JavaScript-rendered content into clean markdown or structured JSON suitable for LLM context windows and RAG pipelines. It handles single URLs, full-domain crawling, and LLM-assisted extraction. The platform operates under two models: Firecrawl Cloud manages proxy rotation, CAPTCHA handling, and queue orchestration, while the open-source edition (Docker/docker-compose) allows self-hosting the core engine where operators manage their own proxies and infrastructure.
