Firecrawl

What does Firecrawl do?

Firecrawl turns live web pages into clean Markdown, structured JSON, screenshots, and semantic text, then lets agents search, scrape, crawl, map, and interact with those pages in one workflow. Its Search, Scrape, and Interact capabilities are built for natural-language prompts and code-driven control, so teams can pull fresh context, extract page data, and take actions like clicking or filling forms without stitching together proxies, scrapers, and post-processing. The playground shows formats such as Markdown, Summary, Question, Links, HTML, Screenshot, and JSON, which makes it easier to move from raw URLs to usable outputs. At scale, Firecrawl says it is trusted by 80,000+ companies and used by over 500,000 developers, with 96% of the web covered and P95 latency of 3.4s across millions of pages. It is open source, offers an API, and provides MCP-compatible and agent onboarding access through its skill file. Customers named on the site include Shopify, Zapier, Replit, Canva, and Gamma.

Why use Firecrawl?

• The onboarding skill and MCP-compatible access make it easier to plug into agent workflows and code editors.
• Coverage claims of 96% of the web and millions of pages at 3.4s P95 latency point to production-scale throughput.
• Named customers like Shopify, Zapier, Replit, and Gamma suggest it fits real agent and automation workloads.

What are Firecrawl's use cases?

How does Firecrawl work?

1. Connect your first source with Use API, then choose Search or Scrape to pull live pages into Firecrawl. Start with a single URL or query so you can validate the output quickly.
2. Expand coverage with Crawl or Map to follow links across a site and gather related pages. Use Advanced web coverage when you need broader discovery beyond a single page.
3. Turn pages into usable fields with Extract, Parse, Markdown, Summary, or HTML. Add Media parsing when images or embedded assets matter to the final dataset.
4. Automate real browsing with Interact and Actions to click, fill, submit, and navigate forms. Smart wait helps each step finish cleanly before the next request runs.
5. Ship the data into your workflow with Use MCP, Use Claude / Cursor Plugin, or Use Skill + CLI. Keep it running with Cached, when you need it and No proxy headaches for ongoing jobs.
