## Firecrawl Extract

### What it is
Firecrawl crawls websites to extract comprehensive data while bypassing blockers.

### How it works
<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->
This block uses Firecrawl's extraction API to pull structured data from web pages based on a prompt or schema. It crawls the specified URLs and uses AI to extract information matching your requirements.

Define the data structure you want using a JSON schema for precise extraction, or use natural language prompts for flexible extraction. Wildcards in URLs allow extracting data from multiple pages matching a pattern.
