Hey Product Hunt! 👋
We're Eric, Caleb, and Nick from Firecrawl. We are excited to be back with our biggest update ever, Firecrawl v2.5, the world's best Web Data API.
Here is what’s new in v2.5:
- A Custom Browser Stack: For maximum data quality, we built our own browser fleet from the ground up. It intelligently detects how each page is rendered, allowing us to extract the complete page, not just a partial snapshot. It converts everything (PDFs, complex tables, dynamic sites) into clean, agent ready formats.
- A New Semantic Index: Our new index is already serving 40% of all API calls. It contains full page snapshots, embeddings, and structural metadata. This means you get top tier data, fast, across a huge portion of the web.
We are hard at work building the future of web data for AI and will be open sourcing our benchmarks soon so you can see the quality difference for yourself.
We would love to hear your feedback on the new architecture and what you're planning to build. We'll be here all day to answer your questions.
Thanks for checking us out!
