# Firecrawl reviewed: turning the live web into LLM-ready markdown for agents

> Firecrawl is a web-data API that turns websites into machine-readable content for AI apps and agents — search, scrape pages into clean markdown/JSON/structured data, and interact with pages (click, navigate) — handling JavaScript rendering and dynamic content automatically.

## What Firecrawl does

Firecrawl is a web-data API that turns sites into machine-readable content for AI apps/agents. Three capabilities: Search (find web info), Scrape (page -> clean markdown/JSON/structured data), Interact (click/navigate pages, incl. behind actions/logins). It handles JS rendering and dynamic content automatically.

## Where it fits

Agent-side data infrastructure — what an agent uses to consume the web. It produces on demand the same thing a site can serve natively: a clean /glossary/markdown-twin. A site that ships /agent-readiness/markdown-twins lowers the Cost of Retrieval so such tools do less work.

## Our take

The category leader for 'give me this site as markdown', and a useful mirror: it shows exactly what an agent wants. If Firecrawl must strip your layout to read you, so does every agent — serve the clean version yourself.
