## Overview
Firecrawl is a web data infrastructure platform designed to help AI systems find, read, and act on live web content at scale. It provides three core capabilities: Search for information across the web and retrieve full content from results, Scrape to extract clean, LLM-ready data from websites in multiple formats (Markdown, JSON, screenshots), and Interact to programmatically click, navigate, and operate on web pages using AI prompts or code. The platform is built for AI agents and handles JavaScript rendering, intelligent content waiting, media parsing, and produces token-efficient output by removing navs, footers, and ads. It covers 96% of the web including JavaScript-heavy pages with P95 latency of 3.4 seconds and is available as both open-source code and a hosted service backed by Y Combinator.
