Welcome to Launch Week III, Day 3! Today we’re excited to unveil /extract v2, the next-generation version of our powerful data extraction endpoint.
Introducing /extract v2
If you’ve used the original /extract endpoint we launched back in January, you’re going to love what comes next. The all-new /extract v2 brings massive improvements across the board:
- Pagination and page interaction support via our FIRE-1 agent.
- Smarter model architecture and upgraded internal pipelines.
- Higher accuracy and reliability across our internal benchmarks.
- Built-in search layer — extract from the web even without providing a URL.
A Leap Beyond Extract v1
With FIRE-1 integration, /extract v2 doesn’t just pull data — it understands the steps needed to interact, navigate, and retrieve information from complex websites. Whether it’s multiple pages, login walls, or dynamic content, it handles it all.
The new system is significantly more powerful, flexible, and accurate than extract v1. In short: this is a major leap forward for intelligent data extraction.
What You Can Do with /extract v2
- Extract from multiple pages that require navigation and interaction.
- Use structured prompts and JSON Schema to define your output.
- Search and extract directly without URLs using our built-in search layer.
- Get reliable results on real-world, dynamic websites.
Using FIRE-1 with the Extract Endpoint
You can now use the same FIRE-1 agent introduced in Day 2 to perform advanced extraction with the /extract endpoint.
Example Usage (cURL):
curl -X POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v1/extract \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
-d '{
"urls": ["https://example-forum.com/topic/123"],
"prompt": "Extract all user comments from this forum thread.",
"schema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"comments": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"author": {"type": "string"},
"comment_text": {"type": "string"}
},
"required": ["author", "comment_text"]
}
}
},
"required": ["comments"]
},
"agent": {
"model": "FIRE-1"
}
}'
This allows you to extract complex, multi-step, and paginated data — all with a single, streamlined request.
