About Firecrawl
Firecrawl is rebuilding web data around agents and a brutal token economy
Firecrawl has shifted from a scraping API into an agent-native web data platform. The last quarter is dominated by two threads: token-efficiency formats (Highlights, Question) that return only the matched content at up to 100x fewer tokens, and new agent surfaces like /monitor, web-agent, and /interact. A Rust parsing core (/parse, Fire-PDF) underpins document ingestion across the stack.
