Firecrawl
Scrape or search the web
Firecrawl is a powerful web scraping and content extraction API that integrates seamlessly into Sim, enabling developers to extract clean, structured content from any website. This integration provides a simple way to transform web pages into usable data formats like Markdown and HTML while preserving the essential content.
With Firecrawl in Sim, you can:
- Extract clean content: Remove ads, navigation elements, and other distractions to get just the main content
- Convert to structured formats: Transform web pages into Markdown, HTML, or JSON
- Capture metadata: Extract SEO metadata, Open Graph tags, and other page information
- Handle JavaScript-heavy sites: Process content from modern web applications that rely on JavaScript
- Filter content: Focus on specific parts of a page using CSS selectors
- Process at scale: Handle high-volume scraping needs with a reliable API
- Search the web: Perform intelligent web searches and retrieve structured results
- Crawl entire sites: Crawl multiple pages from a website and aggregate their content
In Sim, the Firecrawl integration enables your agents to access and process web content programmatically as part of their workflows. Supported operations include:
- Scrape: Extract structured content (Markdown, HTML, metadata) from a single web page.
- Search: Search the web for information using Firecrawl's intelligent search capabilities.
- Crawl: Crawl multiple pages from a website, returning structured content and metadata for each page.
This allows your agents to gather information from websites, extract structured data, and use that information to make decisions or generate insights—all without having to navigate the complexities of raw HTML parsing or browser automation. Simply configure the Firecrawl block with your API key, select the operation (Scrape, Search, or Crawl), and provide the relevant parameters. Your agents can immediately begin working with web content in a clean, structured format.
