Perfect for
Deep research agents
Power agent loops with search, scraping, and citations across many sources.
Market and competitive analysis
Track changes across competitors and industries with automated refresh workflows.
Technical investigations
Collect docs, PDFs, and long-form sources into consistent markdown or JSON outputs.
Research platforms
Build UIs with citations and audit trails using URLs, titles, and timestamps per chunk.
How it works
Search for relevant sources
Call Firecrawl’s /search from your agents so each research question starts from a focused set of relevant sources instead of the open web.
Scrape or crawl content
Use /scrape or /crawl to pull docs, blogs, filings, and PDFs into markdown or JSON so your pipelines always ingest the same structure, no matter the site.
Keep citations attached
Keep URLs, titles, and timestamps on every chunk so you can show citations in the UI and audit how each answer was assembled.
Schedule refresh jobs
Schedule Firecrawl jobs for competitors and industry sources so your research stack tracks changes automatically without manual checks.
Run at larger scale
Run larger Firecrawl jobs across thousands of pages so you can scale research projects without adding new scraping infrastructure.
Feed your answer engine
Feed Firecrawl output into your answer engine or RAG stack so agents synthesize long-form answers backed by verifiable sources.
