/agent by Firecrawl
While building mendable - we found that feeding LLMs well-structured markdown improved accuracy. We also found it surprisingly hard.

We wanted an API that took a URL, crawled the pages in the URL, and gave us an easy-to-use, up-to-date markdown we could feed into our index.

In plain words
Firecrawl /agent is an API that extracts structured data from websites by searching, navigating, and gathering information automatically. Users describe what data they need, and the tool retrieves it from complex or difficult-to-access web pages, returning either individual data points or large datasets. It's designed for developers who need to collect web data programmatically.
