Open Lovable integrates with Firecrawl's web crawling functionality, allowing users to extract data from external websites and generate dynamic content. The procedure is as follows:
- Configuring the API Key: in
.env.local
file by adding theFIRECRAWL_API_KEY
(from the official Firecrawl website). - input: Enter commands like "Get headlines and images from a website" or "Grab a list of the latest news" into the chat interface.
- Outcome of the process: Firecrawl returns structured data (e.g., titles, links, or image URLs in JSON format), and AI generates the appropriate React components based on this data.
For example, if you type "Crawl a list of articles from a blog site and generate a React component", AI will call Firecrawl to crawl the data and then generate a React list component that displays the titles of the articles. This feature is especially suitable for scenarios where external data needs to be displayed dynamically.
