Scrape and extract structured data with Firecrawl

Firecrawl uses AI to get structured data from web pages in 3 steps:
  1. Set the Schema (optional): Define a JSON schema (using OpenAI’s format) to specify the data you want, or just provide a prompt if you don’t need a strict schema, along with the webpage URL.
  2. Make the Request: Send your URL and schema to our scrape endpoint using JSON mode. See how here: Scrape Endpoint Documentation
  3. Get Your Data: Get back clean, structured data matching your schema that you can use right away.
This makes getting web data in the format you need quick and easy.

Extract structured data

​
JSON mode via /scrape

Used to extract structured data from scraped pages. 
from firecrawl import Firecrawl
from pydantic import BaseModel
app = Firecrawl(api_key="fc-YOUR-API-KEY")

class JsonSchema(BaseModel):
    company_mission: str
    supports_sso: bool
    is_open_source: bool
    is_in_yc: bool

result = app.scrape(
    'https://firecrawl.dev',
    formats=[{
      "type": "json",
      "schema": JsonSchema
    }],
    only_main_content=False,
    timeout=120000
)

print(result)
Output:
JSON
{
    "success": true,
    "data": {
      "json": {
        "company_mission": "AI-powered web scraping and data extraction",
        "supports_sso": true,
        "is_open_source": true,
        "is_in_yc": true
      },
      "metadata": {
        "title": "Firecrawl",
        "description": "AI-powered web scraping and data extraction",
        "robots": "follow, index",
        "ogTitle": "Firecrawl",
        "ogDescription": "AI-powered web scraping and data extraction",
        "ogUrl": "https://firecrawl.dev/",
        "ogImage": "https://firecrawl.dev/og.png",
        "ogLocaleAlternate": [],
        "ogSiteName": "Firecrawl",
        "sourceURL": "https://firecrawl.dev/"
      },
    }
}

​
Structured data without schema

You can also extract without a schema by just passing a prompt to the endpoint. The llm chooses the structure of the data. 
from firecrawl import Firecrawl

app = Firecrawl(api_key="fc-YOUR-API-KEY")

result = app.scrape(
    'https://firecrawl.dev',
    formats=[{
      "type": "json",
      "prompt": "Extract the company mission from the page."
    }],
    only_main_content=False,
    timeout=120000
)

print(result)
Output:
JSON
{
    "success": true,
    "data": {
      "json": {
        "company_mission": "AI-powered web scraping and data extraction",
      },
      "metadata": {
        "title": "Firecrawl",
        "description": "AI-powered web scraping and data extraction",
        "robots": "follow, index",
        "ogTitle": "Firecrawl",
        "ogDescription": "AI-powered web scraping and data extraction",
        "ogUrl": "https://firecrawl.dev/",
        "ogImage": "https://firecrawl.dev/og.png",
        "ogLocaleAlternate": [],
        "ogSiteName": "Firecrawl",
        "sourceURL": "https://firecrawl.dev/"
      },
    }
}

JSON format options

When using JSON mode, include an object in formats, for example: formats: [{ type: 'json', schema: { ... }, prompt: '...' }] Parameters:
  • schema: JSON Schema describing the structured output you want.
  • prompt: Optional prompt to guide extraction (also used for no-schema extraction).
