# Data Migration

> Transfer web data efficiently between platforms and systems

Extract content, structure, and metadata from any website and transform it for import into a new platform. Firecrawl handles the scraping so you can focus on mapping data to your target system.

  Efficiently migrate data between platforms and systems
</Card>

## How It Works

Point Firecrawl at your source website to crawl every page and return clean, structured data. From there, you transform the output to match your target platform's schema and import it using that platform's API or bulk-import tools.

## What You Can Migrate

* **Content**: Pages, posts, articles, media files, metadata
* **Structure**: Hierarchies, categories, tags, taxonomies
* **Users**: Profiles and user-related data where publicly accessible
* **Settings**: Configurations, custom fields, workflows
* **E-commerce**: Products, catalogs, inventory, orders
