Firecrawl

Firecrawl is the context API for AI agents and a data extraction platform for live web content. It helps developers and AI teams search the live web, scrape pages into clean Markdown or structured data, and interact with dynamic sites so agents can work with current web context. Search finds fresh, relevant sources and can return excerpts or full pages in the same call. Scrape turns a URL into clean Markdown, JSON, a grounded answer, or exact highlights, with headers, footers, and ads removed.
