Developer Day: Launch Week III - Day 5

Day 5 of Launch Week III is here — and it’s all about developers. We’re rolling out a stack of improvements aimed at making Firecrawl smoother, faster, and better to build with.

We’ve completely overhauled the Python SDK to make development faster, clearer, and more efficient. Here’s what’s new:

• Named parameters and return types for improved readability and type safety
• Full support for async functions to eliminate blocking and improve performance

This update is all about enabling you to build faster and smarter with less friction.

The Rust SDK got a serious set of improvements too:

• Support for batch scraping jobs
• Crawl job cancellation
• Improved error handling
• Built-in support for generating llms.txt
• Search functionality for smarter indexing

If you’re building in Rust, these changes open up a lot more flexibility.

We launched our Firecrawl Light Theme on Day 0. Today, we’re releasing the Dark Theme — for those who prefer building in low light.

It’s available now for:

• VSCode
• Windsurf
• Cursor

Download it directly from the VSCode Marketplace and bring Firecrawl’s look and feel to your editor.

We’ve also shipped a number of smaller improvements behind the scenes to streamline developer experience across the board. Includinng now every Firecrawl plan now includes support for up to 20 seats — no more user limits. Bring your team and build together.

That’s all for Day 5! Stay tuned for Day 6 🚀
