Firecrawl v2.5 is the world's best Web Data API, powered by a new Semantic Index & custom browser stack. We deliver the highest-quality, agent-ready data, converting complex pages (PDFs, tables) into clean formats via our /scrape, /search, and /crawl endpoints.
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!

Is it possible to analyze LinkedIn and extract information from people’s profiles? How do you bypass anti-scraping protections on well-known websites?
Super impressive release! The new semantic index + custom browser stack truly upgrades web scraping reliability and quality.
Firecrawl v2.5 looks like it could save a ton of time for anyone dealing with messy web data Converting complex pages like PDFs and tables into clean, ready-to-use formats is something I’ve wished for more than once Curious how the semantic index handles edge cases Does it manage tricky page layouts well or mostly standard structures Either way this seems like a serious upgrade for devs and data teams
Big congrats @ericciarla, @nickscamara, and @caleb_peffer on shipping Firecrawl v2.5! 🚀 The team's mission to build the world's best Web Data API really resonates, especially with your new Semantic Index already serving 40% of API calls with full page snapshots and embeddings. That custom browser stack you built from the ground up is a game-changer for converting complex pages into agent-ready data. Looking forward to seeing your impact on the AI ecosystem. All the best for launch day!
Congrats! The custom browser stack and semantic index sound like massive upgrades. Love how you’re focusing on full, high-fidelity data extraction instead of partial crawls. Clean, structured, and agent-ready web data is precisely what devs need right now.
@ericciarla The evolution of Firecrawl is really impressive and I really appreciate the work that's gone into it (you guys sometimes even over-deliver with your nice new features and improvements). At the same time I hoped for a nice Producthunt voucher on here with your new v2.5 release 😭 @nickscamara
