Firecrawl /search is now available on OpenRouter
Blog post from Firecrawl
Firecrawl is a new web search engine integrated into OpenRouter, designed to enhance web searches by providing full-page content in clean markdown format, rather than snippets. This integration allows models like GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, and open-source models to reason over complete articles, documentation, and other online content, making it particularly useful for tasks such as market research or competitive analysis. The setup is straightforward, requiring just a toggle in OpenRouter's settings, and no separate Firecrawl account is necessary as OpenRouter automatically provisions one linked to the user's email. While a launch offer with a free plan and 100,000 credits has expired, new sign-ups receive 10,000 free credits. Firecrawl's process involves fetching live pages, rendering JavaScript, and stripping away unnecessary elements like ads, ultimately providing a more comprehensive and accurate context for the models to analyze.
