Firecrawl July 2024 Updates

We are excited to share our latest updates from July!

TLDR:

• We launched Firecrawl on Launch YC 🔥
• Improvements to Endpoints + Dashboard
• New Templates & Community Creations
• We are hiring a Developer Relations Specialist & Web Automation Engineer

After three months and more than 8K stars, we have officially decided to launch Firecrawl on YC. It has been an incredible journey, and we are excited to continue building the best way to power AI with web data. Check out our launch (and leave an upvote 🙂)!

This month, we made improving our core product a priority. This meant focusing time on speed, reliability, and our dashboard as well.

Specifically in these categories, we:

• Shaved off around 1 second for every scrape and crawl request
• Expanded scrape reliability for a bunch of new types of sites
• Added enhanced dashboard monitoring which allows you to see processes, timing, failures and more. Check it out on your Activity Logs page on the dashboard!

Look for even more speed and reliability improvements coming soon!

Not only did we release some examples and templates this month, but we also witnessed incredible creations from our community. If you’re working on an interesting Firecrawl project, we’d love to hear about it! Give us a shout at @firecrawl_dev. Here are a few highlights:
