# Camel AI

> Firecrawl integrates with Camel AI as a data loader.

<Note>
  **Official CAMEL docs:** [docs.camel-ai.org/key\_modules/loaders](https://docs.camel-ai.org/key_modules/loaders)

  Firecrawl ships as a CAMEL loader, turning any site into LLM-ready markdown for your agents
</Note>

## Installation

```bash theme={null}
pip install camel-ai
```

Set your Firecrawl key so the loader picks it up automatically:

```bash theme={null}
export FIRECRAWL_API_KEY="fc-your-api-key"
```

## Usage

With Camel AI and Firecrawl you can quickly build multi-agent systems that use data from the web.

### Using Firecrawl to Gather an Entire Website

`crawl` returns once the job finishes. Check `status`, then read the markdown from `data`.

```python theme={null}
from camel.loaders import Firecrawl

firecrawl = Firecrawl()

response = firecrawl.crawl(url="https://www.camel-ai.org/about")
print(response["status"])  # "completed" when the crawl has finished

print(response["data"][0]["markdown"])
```

### Using Firecrawl to Gather a Single Page

```python theme={null}
from camel.loaders import Firecrawl

firecrawl = Firecrawl()

response = firecrawl.scrape(url="https://www.camel-ai.org/about")
print(response["markdown"])
```

<Tip>
  `Firecrawl()` reads `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` from the environment. Pass `api_key=...` to override it, or `api_url=...` to point at a [self-hosted](/contributing/self-host) instance.
