Firecrawl is an AI-friendly web scraping API that converts any website into clean, LLM-ready Markdown for AI applications.

With a simple API and generous free tier, it is the standard tool for AI web data collection.

Best for: AI developers building RAG applications and agents that need to scrape and process web content into LLM-ready Markdown format
