Integrates with
FirecrawlFirecrawl

Scrape any URL and get back clean markdown, screenshots, or structured JSON—no brittle parsing, no infrastructure to manage. Firecrawl handles fetching, rendering, and caching. You describe what data you need and Converge sets up the scraper automatically.

What you can build

  • Price monitoring dashboards that track competitor product pages.
  • Lead generation tools that extract contacts from directories.
  • Content pipelines that convert blog posts into searchable markdown.
  • Competitive research tools that pull feature tables and specs.
  • Visual archives that capture screenshots of landing pages over time.

Key capabilities

Structured Extraction

Define a JSON schema for the data you want—product name, price, availability—and the scraper extracts it automatically. Works even on complex pages with LLM-backed parsing.

Multiple Output Formats

Get clean markdown for text processing, screenshots for visual monitoring, or raw HTML when you need full control. One scrape, many formats.

Durable Caching

Results are cached with configurable TTL. Scrape the same URL again and get instant results without hitting the source. Saves bandwidth and stays polite.

Real-Time Status

Scrapes run in the background and publish status updates through Convex subscriptions. Your UI shows progress without polling.

SSRF Protection

Built-in validation blocks localhost, private IPs, and non-HTTP schemes. Safe to expose scraping as a user feature.

How to use it

Just describe what you want in the prompt. Converge handles the setup automatically.

  • "Scrape product URLs and extract name, price, and stock status"
  • "Turn blog post URLs into markdown for my knowledge base"
  • "Capture a screenshot of a competitor landing page"
  • "Monitor a page and alert me when the content changes"
