🔥 Scrape with Firecrawl : https://firecrawl.link/leo
In this video, I evaluate Firecrawl, a web scraping tool that's becoming incredibly powerful, nearing the capability to scrape almost anything. I explain its core features using an analogy of exploring a house: the single URL scraper for fetching data from a specific "room" (page), the crawler which sends an "army of minions" to map out and retrieve data from the entire "house" (website), the mapper for just listing all the accessible "rooms" (links), and the AI-powered extract feature, which acts like Mr. Meeseeks to find and return only the specific information you request (like finding keys under the couch).
I also showcase Firecrawl's exciting new agent, which can interact with websites, like clicking buttons and selecting options to scrape data that isn't immediately visible, demonstrating this by fetching filtered Y Combinator company information. I explore how these tools combine to offer flexible and powerful web data extraction solutions.
