Summary
• Firecrawl allows users to scrape any website and turn it into LLM (Large Language Model) ready data in seconds. • It is an open-source tool that can be used for various tasks such as scraping, crawling, mapping, or extracting specific data. • Users can extract structured data from one or multiple URLs, including wildcards.

Here's how you can scrape any website with Firecrawl and Nadin. So, Firecrawl is going to allow us to turn any website into LLM ready data in a matter of seconds. And as you can see right here, it's also open source. As you can see, there's four different things we can do with Firecrawl. We can scrape, we can crawl, we can map, or we can do this new extract, which basically means we can give Firecrawl a URL and also a prompt like can you please extract the company name and the services they offer and an icebreaker out of this URL. So, we've got some information here. The first thing to look at is when we're using the extract, you can extract structured data from one or multiple URLs including wild cards. And if you put a asterk after it, it's going to basically mean this is a wild card and it's going to go scrape all pages that are after it rather than just scraping this one predefined page. As you can see right here, it'll automatically crawl and parse all the URLs it can discover, then extract the requested data. So, real quick before we test this out, I'm just going to call this extract. And then we'll hit test step. And we should see that it's going to be pulling and it's going to give us a message that says um true and it gives us an ID. And so now what we need to do next is pull this ID back to see if our request has been fulfilled yet. So now after 5 seconds had passed or however much time we would try this again. And now we can see that we have our item back and the data field is no longer empty because we have our quotes object which has 83 quotes. So it even got more than that time we did it in the playground. If you want to watch the full breakdown, the link for that will be down in the description.
