# 🔥 Firecrawl
|
|
|
|
Crawl and convert any website into LLM-ready markdown. Build by [Mendable.ai](https://mendable.ai?ref=gfirecrawl)
|
|
|
|
|
|
*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*
|
|
|
|
## What is Firecrawl?
|
|
|
|
[Firecrawl](https://firecrawl.dev?ref=github) 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.
|
|
|
|

### API Key
|
|
|
|
To use the API, you need to sign up on [Firecrawl](https://firecrawl.com) and get an API key.
|
|
|
|
### Crawling
|
|
|
|
Used to crawl a URL and all accessible subpages. This submits a crawl job and returns a job ID to check the status of the crawl.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v0/crawl \
|
|
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
|
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
|
|
-d '{
|
|
"url": "https://mendable.ai"
|
|
}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns a jobId
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "jobId": "1234-5678-9101" }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Check Crawl Job
|
|
|
|
Used to check the status of a crawl job and get its result.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X GET https://api.firecrawl.dev/v0/crawl/status/1234-5678-9101 \
|
|
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
|
|
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|

|
|
"current": 22,
|
|
"total": 22,
|
|
"data": [

|
{
|
|
"content": "Raw Content ",
|
|
"markdown": "# Markdown Content",
|
|
"provider": "web-scraper",
|
|
"metadata": {
|
|

|
|
"description": "AI for CX and Sales",
|
|
"language": null,
|

"sourceURL": "https://www.mendable.ai/",
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using Python SDK
|
|
|
|
### Installing Python SDK
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install firecrawl-py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Crawl a website
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from firecrawl import FirecrawlApp
|
|
|
|
app = FirecrawlApp(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
|
|
|
|
crawl_result = app.crawl_url('mendable.ai', {'crawlerOptions': {'excludes': ['blog/*']}})
|
|
|
|
# Get the markdown
|
|
for result in crawl_result:
|
|
print(result['markdown'])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Scraping a URL
|
|
|
|
To scrape a single URL, use the `scrape_url` method. It takes the URL as a parameter and returns the scraped data as a dictionary.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
url = 'https://example.com'
|
|
scraped_data = app.scrape_url(url)
|
|
```
