At standup, a dev wants to turn a webpage into clean markdown for feeding into an LLM pipeline. Which API category fits?
Firecrawl is a web scraping API purpose-built for AI pipelines, converting pages into clean markdown or structured data ready for LLM consumption. It handles rendering, cleanup, and formatting so downstream models get usable text. This differs from a raw HTML fetch that would need extensive post-processing.

During a design review, the team wants to scrape an entire documentation site, not just one page. Which Firecrawl feature fits?
Firecrawl's crawl endpoint follows internal links starting from a seed URL, systematically fetching many pages across a site rather than requiring a manual URL list. This suits ingesting full documentation sets. Configurable depth and path filters control the scope.

In a code review, a dev needs structured JSON fields extracted from a page, not just raw markdown. Which Firecrawl capability fits?
Firecrawl supports schema-based extraction, letting a developer define the fields they want (like price, title, or date) and receive structured JSON pulled from the page content. This is more precise than parsing raw markdown manually. It is aimed at pipelines needing predictable structured output.

An incident report shows scraped content was incomplete because the page rendered content client-side. What Firecrawl capability addresses this?
Firecrawl performs JavaScript rendering, executing client-side scripts before extracting content, so pages relying on dynamic rendering aren't scraped as empty shells. Skipping rendering would miss content injected after page load. This is essential for scraping modern single-page applications.

During a PR review, a teammate wants to avoid overwhelming a target site with requests during a large crawl. What should they configure?
Responsible scraping configures rate limits and crawl concurrency, and respects a site's robots.txt directives, to avoid overloading the target server or violating its access policy. Firecrawl exposes these controls for exactly this reason. Ignoring them risks getting blocked or causing real harm to the target site.
