get a web page
The main function of this workflow is to automate the extraction of content from specified web pages. Users only need to provide the webpage URL, and the system will use the FireCrawl API to retrieve the webpage data and convert it into Markdown format for return. This process lowers the technical barrier and enhances extraction efficiency, making it suitable for various scenarios such as AI intelligent agents, office automation, data collection, and content monitoring, thereby facilitating quick integration of web scraping functionality for both developers and non-technical users.
