Firecrawl Reaches 165,567 Stars and Rebrands as 'The Context API' — Its Research Index Now Covers 3M+ arXiv Papers
firecrawl/firecrawl is the single largest AI repo in today's trending set at 165,567 stars, and its description has shifted from a scraping tool to 'the context API to search, scrape, and interact with the web at scale.' The v2.11.0 release added a dedicated research index spanning 3M+ arXiv papers with linked GitHub content, automatic PII redaction on scraped output, and a deterministicJson format that returns structured data without an LLM call per request. That last feature is the practical one for pipeline builders — schema extraction without paying inference on every fetch.
