Firecrawl

Firecrawl takes a URL and returns its content as clean markdown or structured data, which is the format language models handle best. It deals with JavaScript-heavy pages, can crawl a whole site, and strips out menus and clutter. Developers use it to feed websites into RAG systems and AI agents. Besides scraping and crawling, it offers search and an extract endpoint that pulls specific fields using a schema or prompt. The project is open source, and there is a hosted service with a free tier and paid plans. It is one of the easiest ways to give an AI app live web data.
