devdigest · x · 2026-08-29
Firecrawl released a free version that requires no API key, designed to lower the barrier for AI agents to search and scrape the web. Key features include no registration required, state-of-the-art search accuracy (94.7% on SimpleQA), sub-3s scrape times, and the ability to turn any page into clean Markdown. Developers can integrate it via a simple curl command or the firecrawl-cli.
