Firecrawl is an API-first scraping service for AI apps, converting websites into clean structured data optimized for LLM consumption and RAG ingestion. Backed by Y Combinator.
Handles JS rendering, pagination, sitemap traversal, and anti-bot detection automatically. Output in clean Markdown, structured JSON with custom schemas, or raw HTML.
Produces RAG-ready content by stripping navigation, ads, and boilerplate. Custom schemas define exactly what data to extract.
