# 🔥 Firecrawl
Crawl and convert any website into LLM-ready markdown or structured data. Built by [Mendable.ai](https://mendable.ai?ref=gfirecrawl) and the Firecrawl community. Includes powerful scraping, crawling and data extraction capabilities.
_This repository is in its early development stages. We are still merging custom modules in the mono repo. It's not completely yet ready for full self-host deployment, but you can already run it locally._
## What is Firecrawl?
[Firecrawl](https://firecrawl.dev?ref=github) is an API service that takes a URL, crawls it, and converts it into clean markdown or structured data. We crawl all accessible subpages and give you clean data for each. No sitemap required. Check out our [documentation](https://docs.firecrawl.dev).
_Pst. hey, you, join our stargazers :)_
## How to use it?
We provide an easy to use API with our hosted version. You can find the playground and documentation [here](https://firecrawl.dev/playground). You can also self host the backend if you'd like.
