# Firecrawl

Firecrawl is a web crawling and scraping API built specifically for AI applications that need clean, LLM-ready content from websites. Unlike general-purpose scrapers, Firecrawl handles JavaScript rendering, anti-bot measures, and content cleaning automatically, returning well-formatted Markdown ready for RAG pipelines, LLM processing, and AI knowledge bases. With a simple API, developers can scrape entire websites, crawl internal links, take structured snapshots, and keep AI knowledge bases fresh with automatic re-crawling on schedule.
