# 🔥 Firecrawl
|
|
|
|
Crawl and convert any website into LLM-ready markdown. Built by [Mendable.ai](https://mendable.ai?ref=gfirecrawl) and the firecrawl community.
|
|
|
|
_This repository is in its early development stages. We are still merging custom modules in the mono repo. It's not completely yet ready for full self-host deployment, but you can already run it locally._
|
|
|
|
## What is Firecrawl?
|
|
|
|
[Firecrawl](https://firecrawl.dev?ref=github) is an API service that takes a URL, crawls it, and converts it into clean markdown. We crawl all accessible subpages and give you clean markdown for each. No sitemap required.
|
|
|
|
_Pst. hey, you, join our stargazers :)_

|
|
|
We provide an easy to use API with our hosted version. You can find the playground and documentation [here](https://firecrawl.dev/playground). You can also self host the backend if you'd like.

## Using Python SDK
|
|
|
|
### Installing Python SDK
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install firecrawl-py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Crawl a website
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from firecrawl import FirecrawlApp
|
|
|
|
app = FirecrawlApp(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
|
|
|
|
crawl_result = app.crawl_url('mendable.ai', {'crawlerOptions': {'excludes': ['blog/*']}})
|
|
|
|
# Get the markdown
|
|
for result in crawl_result:
|
|
print(result['markdown'])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Scraping a URL
|
|
|
|
To scrape a single URL, use the `scrape_url` method. It takes the URL as a parameter and returns the scraped data as a dictionary.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
url = 'https://example.com'
|
|
scraped_data = app.scrape_url(url)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Extracting structured data from a URL
|
|
|
|
With LLM extraction, you can easily extract structured data from any URL. We support pydanti schemas to make it easier for you too. Here is how you to use it:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
class ArticleSchema(BaseModel):
|
|
title: str
|
|
points: int
|
|
by: str
|
|
commentsURL: str
|
|
|
|
class TopArticlesSchema(BaseModel):
|
|
top: List[ArticleSchema] = Field(..., max_items=5, description="Top 5 stories")
|
|
|
|
data = app.scrape_url('https://news.ycombinator.com', {
|
|
'extractorOptions': {
|
|
'extractionSchema': TopArticlesSchema.model_json_schema(),
|
|
'mode': 'llm-extraction'
|
|
},
|
|
'pageOptions':{
|
|
'onlyMainContent': True
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
print(data["llm_extraction"])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Search for a query
|
|
|
|
Performs a web search, retrieve the top results, extract data from each page, and returns their markdown.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
query = 'What is Mendable?'
|
|
search_result = app.search(query)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using the Node SDK
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
To install the Firecrawl Node SDK, you can use npm:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install @mendable/firecrawl-js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
1. Get an API key from [firecrawl.dev](https://firecrawl.dev)
|
|
2. Set the API key as an environment variable named `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` or pass it as a parameter to the `FirecrawlApp` class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Scraping a URL
|
|
|
|
To scrape a single URL with error handling, use the `scrapeUrl` method. It takes the URL as a parameter and returns the scraped data as a dictionary.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
try {
|
|
const url = 'https://example.com';
|
|
const scrapedData = await app.scrapeUrl(url);
|
|
console.log(scrapedData);
|
|
|
|
} catch (error) {
|
|
console.error(
|
|
'Error occurred while scraping:',
|
|
error.message
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Crawling a Website
|
|
|
|
To crawl a website with error handling, use the `crawlUrl` method. It takes the starting URL and optional parameters as arguments. The `params` argument allows you to specify additional options for the crawl job, such as the maximum number of pages to crawl, allowed domains, and the output format.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const crawlUrl = 'https://example.com';
|
|
const params = {
|
|
crawlerOptions: {
|
|
excludes: ['blog/'],
|
|
includes: [], // leave empty for all pages
|
|
limit: 1000,
|
|
},
|
|
pageOptions: {
|
|
onlyMainContent: true
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
const waitUntilDone = true;
|
|
const timeout = 5;
|
|
const crawlResult = await app.crawlUrl(
|
|
crawlUrl,
|
|
params,
|
|
waitUntilDone,
|
|
timeout
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Checking Crawl Status
|
|
|
|
To check the status of a crawl job with error handling, use the `checkCrawlStatus` method. It takes the job ID as a parameter and returns the current status of the crawl job.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const status = await app.checkCrawlStatus(jobId);
|
|
console.log(status);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Extracting structured data from a URL
|
|
|
|
With LLM extraction, you can easily extract structured data from any URL. We support zod schema to make it easier for you too. Here is how you to use it:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import FirecrawlApp from "@mendable/firecrawl-js";
|
|
import { z } from "zod";
|
|
|
|
const app = new FirecrawlApp({
|
|
apiKey: "fc-YOUR_API_KEY",
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Define schema to extract contents into
|
|
const schema = z.object({
|
|
top: z
|
|
.array(
|
|
z.object({
|
|
title: z.string(),
|
|
points: z.number(),
|
|
by: z.string(),
|
|
commentsURL: z.string(),
|
|
})
|
|
)
|
|
.length(5)
|
|
.describe("Top 5 stories on Hacker News"),
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
const scrapeResult = await app.scrapeUrl("https://news.ycombinator.com", {
|
|
extractorOptions: { extractionSchema: schema },
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
console.log(scrapeResult.data["llm_extraction"]);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Search for a query
|
|
|
|
With the `search` method, you can search for a query in a search engine and get the top results along with the page content for each result. The method takes the query as a parameter and returns the search results.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const query = 'what is mendable?';
|
|
const searchResults = await app.search(query, {
|
|
pageOptions: {
|
|
fetchPageContent: true // Fetch the page content for each search result
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
```
