## Description

[Firecrawl](https://firecrawl.dev) is a platform for crawling and convert any website into clean markdown or structured data.

## Installation

* Get an API key from [firecrawl.dev](https://firecrawl.dev) and set it in environment variables (`FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`).
* Install the [Firecrawl SDK](https://github.com/mendableai/firecrawl) along with `crewai[tools]` package:

```shell  theme={null}
pip install firecrawl-py 'crewai[tools]'
```

## Example

Utilize the FirecrawlScrapeFromWebsiteTool as follows to allow your agent to load websites:

```python Code theme={null}
from crewai_tools import FirecrawlCrawlWebsiteTool

tool = FirecrawlCrawlWebsiteTool(url='firecrawl.dev')
```

## Arguments

* `api_key`: Optional. Specifies Firecrawl API key. Defaults is the `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` environment variable.
* `url`: The base URL to start crawling from.
* `page_options`: Optional.
  * `onlyMainContent`: Optional. Only return the main content of the page excluding headers, navs, footers, etc.
  * `includeHtml`: Optional. Include the raw HTML content of the page. Will output a html key in the response.
* `crawler_options`: Optional. Options for controlling the crawling behavior.
  * `includes`: Optional. URL patterns to include in the crawl.
  * `exclude`: Optional. URL patterns to exclude from the crawl.
  * `generateImgAltText`: Optional. Generate alt text for images using LLMs (requires a paid plan).
  * `returnOnlyUrls`: Optional. If true, returns only the URLs as a list in the crawl status. Note: the response will be a list of URLs inside the data, not a list of documents.
  * `maxDepth`: Optional. Maximum depth to crawl. Depth 1 is the base URL, depth 2 includes the base URL and its direct children, and so on.
  * `mode`: Optional. The crawling mode to use. Fast mode crawls 4x faster on websites without a sitemap but may not be as accurate and shouldn't be used on heavily JavaScript-rendered websites.
  * `limit`: Optional. Maximum number of pages to crawl.
  * `timeout`: Optional. Timeout in milliseconds for the crawling operation.
