You can Crawl entire website with Claude 3.5 or GPT4 with @firecrawl 💯
Its open-sourced and code in github
- Turn entire websites into LLM-ready markdown or structured data. Scrape, crawl and extract with a single API.
- Crawls all accessible subpages and give you clean data for each. No sitemap required.
- The greatest benefit is that the extracted data is catered for LLM-based pipelines.
- The api is self hostable and opensource
-----
Some benefits of firecrawl
1. handles crawling (with or without sitemaps)
2. runs headless browsers scalably
3. handles bot protections and proxies
4. a team of dedicated engineers to solve the millions of edge-cases on the web for you
5. quality formatting to markdown by default
Beautiful soup doesn't generalize, thats why we built firecrawl
