About SmartCrawl AI

Firecrawl is an open-source API that provides a complete toolkit for AI systems to search, scrape, and interact with the web at scale. It converts any URL into clean markdown, structured JSON, screenshots, or semantic text, and allows AI agents to take actions on pages (click, fill forms, navigate). Built for reliability and speed, it covers 96% of the web (including JS-heavy pages) with P95 latency of 3.4 seconds and delivers 93% fewer input tokens by stripping navigation, footers, and ads. Trusted by over 150,000 companies, it offers SDKs for Python, Node.js, and a CLI, along with MCP integration for easy agent connectivity.
