Crawl and convert any website into LLM-ready markdown. Built by Mendable.ai and the firecrawl community.
This repository is currently in its early stages of development. We are in the process of merging custom modules into this mono repository. The primary objective is to enhance the accuracy of LLM responses by utilizing clean data. It is not ready for full self-host yet - we're working on it
Firecrawl is an API service that takes a URL, crawls it, and converts it into clean markdown. We crawl all accessible subpages and give you clean markdown for each. No sitemap required.
Pst. hey, you, join our stargazers :)
We provide an easy to use API with our hosted version. You can find the playground and documentation here. You can also self host the backend if you'd like.
