Firecrawl

What it does

Firecrawl is a web data API that turns websites into clean, LLM-ready data. It offers search, scrape, map, crawl and an Interact feature that lets an agent click and navigate pages. Developers connect through Python, Node.js, cURL, CLI or MCP, and the project is open source.

Firecrawl is built for developers who need web data without writing their own scrapers. You send a URL or query through the API, SDK or MCP client and get back markdown, JSON or screenshots. The homepage says it is open source and lists Python, Node.js, cURL and CLI access. It also describes an Interact feature that lets an agent click and navigate pages. The pricing page lists a free tier of 1,000 credits every month with no credit card required, and paid plans from Hobby at $16 per month billed annually up to Scale at $599 per month billed annually. Credit costs vary by endpoint: search costs 2 credits per 10 results, Interact costs 2 credits per browser minute, and some formats add 4 credits per page. A scrape that returns no result is not charged, but a page that responds with an error status such as 403 or 404 still costs 1 credit. The homepage reports 96% coverage and a P95 latency of 3,387 ms on its own 1,000-URL benchmark, so those figures come from Firecrawl's own tests.
