Welcome to Day 6 of Firecrawl's second Launch Week! Today, we're excited to announce a highly requested feature: Mobile Scraping and Mobile Screenshots.

Introducing Mobile Device Emulation

Firecrawl now introduces mobile device emulation for both scraping and screenshots, empowering you to interact with sites as if from a mobile device. This feature is essential for testing mobile-specific content, understanding responsive design, and gaining insights from mobile-specific elements.

Why Mobile Scraping?

Mobile-first experiences are increasingly common, and this feature enables you to:

  • High-Fidelity Mobile Screenshots: Take accurate mobile screenshots for a true representation of how a site appears on mobile devices.
  • Test Mobile Layouts and UI Elements: Verify mobile-specific designs and ensure your scraping results are accurate for responsive websites.
  • Access Mobile-Only Content: Scrape content exclusive to mobile users, gaining insights that vary from desktop versions.

Usage

To activate mobile scraping, simply add "mobile": true in your request, which will enable Firecrawl’s mobile emulation mode.

For further details, including additional configuration options, visit the API Reference.

What's Next?

That wraps up Day 6 of Launch Week II! We can't wait to see how you'll utilize mobile scraping and screenshots in your applications. Happy scraping, and stay tuned for the final day of Launch Week II tomorrow!
