Scraping with Firecrawl

Firecrawl converts web pages into markdown, ideal for LLM applications. Here’s why:
  1. Complexities Managed: Handles proxies, caching, rate limits, and JavaScript-blocked content for smooth scraping.
  2. Dynamic Content: Gathers data from JavaScript-rendered websites, pdfs, images etc.
  3. Markdown or Structured data conversion: Converts collected data into clean markdown or structured output, perfect for LLM processing or any other task.
For more details, refer to the Scrape Endpoint API Reference.
