Firecrawl Relaunches /search as 'Our Most Accurate Search API for AI Agents' — Web Retrieval Consolidates Around Agent-First Vendors

Product Hunt·medium signal

Firecrawl's rebuilt /search endpoint charted #4 on Product Hunt July 24 with 273 votes, explicitly positioned for agents rather than for scrapers or RAG pipelines. Firecrawl reports 1.25M+ developers across 150,000+ companies and 5B+ requests served on a $14.5M Series A from Nexus Venture Partners, and it now supports keyless access — you can call it from Claude Code without provisioning an API key, joining Parallel in removing the signup step. Openclaw made Firecrawl its default search provider in 2026, which is the distribution move that matters more than the endpoint itself.
