/agent by Firecrawl - Gather structured data wherever it lives on the web
by•
Firecrawl /agent is a magic API that searches, navigates, and gathers data from even the most complex websites. Describe what data you want and agent handles the rest. Find information in hard-to-reach places, return single datapoints or entire datasets at scale.

This looks like superpower webcrawler, definitely want to try.
I tried it and as a non technical user this has given great initial results. I will share more here once my product is built, but consider me a new customer!
Web scraping with structured data output is always useful. How does it handle sites with heavy JS rendering or anti-bot measures? Rate limits?

I already deployed this on a project to aggregate calendar data from multiple websites. Unbelievably good results from really messy data! Nice job.
Im a bit late to the game, but firecrawl is awesome, I use it for one of the research agents in my app. It works really well inside AISDK, and is better than google search api.
Navigating pagination and rendering JavaScript on the fly without hardcoded CSS selectors is exactly how data extraction should work. This is incredibly useful for parsing unstructured sentiment data from messy sources like messaging groups or forums. How does the agent adapt when a site actively changes its DOM structure mid-scrape to block bots?
