Firecrawl Web Scraping for Clean Data Extraction
This Connector handles the dirty work by converting entire websites into LLM-ready markdown. You just point your agent at a URL and get back clean, structured content that actually works for your project.

Before you connect
Questions about Firecrawl.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does Firecrawl help me get data from websites?
It turns messy web pages into clean markdown that your AI client can actually read. This means you don't have to deal with HTML tags or scripts.
Can I use Firecrawl to crawl an entire website?
Yes, you can start multi-page crawl jobs. Your agent will handle the heavy lifting and gather data from across the whole site.
What is the difference between scraping and crawling with Firecrawl?
Scraping gets you data from a single URL, while crawling gathers data from multiple pages across a whole site.
Can Firecrawl help with SEO audits?
It can map out a website's entire hierarchy. This helps you see the site structure and page distribution without clicking every link.
How do I know when my web crawl is finished?
You can ask your agent to check the status of a specific job. It'll tell you if it's still running or if the data is ready.
Is the data from Firecrawl easy for an AI to use?
Yes, because it returns markdown. This format is optimized for your AI client to process without getting confused by site code.
How do I find my Firecrawl API Key?
Log in to your Firecrawl.dev dashboard, and you will find your API Key under the settings. Copy and paste it below.
Can the agent crawl multiple pages at once?
Yes. Use the crawl_url capability providing the base URL. Firecrawl will start a job to extract all subpages, and you can monitor the status via get_crawl_status.
Is it possible to see the website structure before scraping?
Yes. The map_website capability allows your agent to retrieve a hierarchy of the site, giving you an audit of the structure before performing a full scrape or crawl.
Can I scrape content excluding headers and footers?
Yes! The scrape_url capability includes an onlyMainContent parameter. When set to true, Firecrawl uses AI to extract only the core article or page content.
How long does a recursive crawl take?
Crawl time depends on the site size and depth. Use the get_crawl_status capability to monitor progress and retrieve results once the job is complete.
