What Makes It Different
Firecrawl simplifies the process of web scraping. Instead of writing code to navigate and extract data from a site, you can use their API. It offers separate, specialized endpoints for crawling and data extraction.
Features & Capabilities
Firecrawl takes a URL as input and returns the content of the website. The crawling service can get product information or articles. The /extract endpoint provides more granular data extraction. You can also use it to watch websites for changes.
Pricing & Value
Firecrawl offers different pricing for its standard crawling and /extract endpoints. A free plan is available for users to get started. Paid plans offer higher limits and more features for both services.
The value is in the time it saves developers from building and maintaining web crawlers.
