# Firecrawl

A web data API that provides search, scraping, and page interaction capabilities for AI agents and developers.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → substitute to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** A buyer evaluating Vercel for deploying an AI agent could instead use Firecrawl to gather web data directly via API, eliminating the need for Vercel's deployment infrastructure.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> The context API to search, scrape, and interact with the web at scale.

> Power AI agents with clean web data

> The infrastructure layer that helps AI find, read, and act on the live web.
