Firecrawl
Firecrawl is an API service that crawls websites and converts them into LLM (Large Language Model) ready markdown or structured data. With a simple API call, AI applications can access structured data from websites.
Features
Key features of Firecrawl include:
- Crawls entire websites and converts them to Markdown or structured data
- Automatically processes all accessible subpages
- No sitemap required
- Advanced scraping, crawling, and data extraction capabilities
- Designed for AI applications and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)
- Simple API
Firecrawl is particularly useful for developers building AI applications that need to understand and process web content. By converting web pages into structured formats, it makes the data more manageable for large language models.
Pricing
Firecrawl offers a free tier with 500 credits to get started. For continuous usage, paid plans start at $16/month. Please check the official website for the most accurate pricing information.

For detailed information about Firecrawl's features (crawling, MCP, etc.), please refer to the developer documentation.
Repository
Firecrawl is open-source software licensed under AGPL-3.0.
MOONGIFT Eye
Firecrawl addresses a critical need in the AI development ecosystem by enabling the conversion of websites into structured data. For AI applications that use web content as training data, tools like Firecrawl are essential.
With its focus on generating LLM-ready data, Firecrawl is particularly valuable for RAG applications where the quality of input data directly impacts AI output quality.
While full self-hosting appears challenging at present, we look forward to its future development as an open-source project.
