How Replit Uses Firecrawl to Power Replit Agent

How Replit Uses Firecrawl to Power Replit Agent image

At Replit, we’re making it easier than ever for anyone to create apps with the help of AI. A crucial part of this process is ensuring our Replit Agent has access to the latest API documentation and web content. That’s where Firecrawl comes in—allowing our agent to seamlessly retrieve and interpret web data to keep everything up to date.

Integrating Firecrawl was straightforward. We used the Firecrawl SDK to send scraping requests whenever needed, and Firecrawl has managed our traffic exceptionally well. The setup was smooth, and it just works.

If we had to stop using Firecrawl, we’d really miss the well-formatted web content. Since our agent depends on clean, concise data, receiving raw HTML wouldn’t cut it. Firecrawl ensures we get structured, usable information every time.

Support has also been fantastic. In over four months of usage, we encountered just one issue—a 500 error. The Firecrawl team responded promptly and resolved it in under an hour, which we really appreciated.

In one sentence: If your agent or LLM needs to scrape web content, Firecrawl delivers the best-formatted results.

We’re excited to keep building with Firecrawl and pushing the boundaries of AI-powered development.
