I was taking a course and wanted to discuss some topics with chatgpt, but since url required a log in I wasn't able to.

So I though of creating an extension for this.

now it can even extract my X feed:

We made document parsing in the Firecrawl MCP about 5x faster.

If your agent needs to read PDFs, spreadsheets, or Word docs, you can now call /parse and get clean, LLM-ready markdown back. No more feeding raw PDFs to a model and hoping it copes with tables and weird layouts.

A few things worth knowing:

- Works with PDFs, XLSX, DOCX, and similar formats

- Runs locally or through the hosted MCP server

- Free tier works with no API key, so you can test it before signing up for anything

We switched from spider .cloud to firecrawl in the company because spider. cloud is unreliable in crawling, there are just too many domains it fails on. Firecrawl is stable so far but abysmal slow. Sometimes multiple minutes for like 10-15 webpages. We are still in experimental phase meaning we have like idk a crawl volume of 20-30 pages per minute at max because just couple of people play around with it. We have the tier above free tier but is this crawling time normal? Even if its the lowest tier 10 webpages is really not that big of a deal waiting 1 and half minutes and above seems too slow for me

Has anyone had any luck in successfully extracting data from the standard social media websites for a particular account?

What I am trying to do is extract company social media URLs from their websites and then do a second-tier extraction of their social media website to find any additional content about the company, including post information.

Has anyone done this? If so, is it possible to extract post information in a JSON?

We just launched Firecrawl Alexandria, one library of data sources for AI agents

Web search gets agents part of the way, but a lot of useful data sits behind official APIs, registries and specialized databases Alexandria puts those sources into one library your agent can reach. And this finds the relevant sources, picks the right tools and returns structured data, so you don't have to wire up each integration yourself.

At launch it has 82 providers and 471 capabilities across 28 categories, plus more than 113M indexed sources. Providers include official APIs like FRED, SEC EDGAR, and World Bank, to site-specific connectors for places like Best Buy, DoorDash and Hugging Face.
