fastCRW

The web data API for AI agents — search, scrape, map, and crawl any site into clean markdown or JSON.

Use the managed cloud for zero infra, or self-host the same open-source engine. Start with Python, TypeScript, cURL, or MCP — you never touch Rust.

Beats Firecrawl and Crawl4AI on truth-recall — measured on Firecrawl's own public dataset.

export CRW_API_KEY="crw_live_..."

# cURL — works anywhere, no SDK
curl -X POST https://api.fastcrw.com/v1/scrape \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CRW_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://example.com","formats":["markdown"]}'

pip install crw

from crw import CrwClient

crw = CrwClient()  # reads CRW_API_KEY from your env
page = crw.scrape("https://example.com",
                  formats=["markdown"])
print(page["markdown"])

npm install crw-sdk

import { CrwClient } from "crw-sdk";

const crw = new CrwClient();  // reads CRW_API_KEY from your env
const page = await crw.scrape("https://example.com",
                              { formats: ["markdown"] });
console.log(page.markdown);

In both SDKs page is a plain object (markdown, metadata, contentType, …), so page["markdown"] / page.markdown is clean content:
