# SourceSync.ai

> Firecrawl integrates with SourceSync.ai for web scraping capabilities.

[SourceSync.ai](https://sourcesync.ai) is a Retrieval Augmented Generation as a Service platform that helps you build AI applications with your own data. This guide explains how to use Firecrawl with SourceSync.ai for web scraping capabilities.

## Setup

1. First, obtain your Firecrawl API key from your [Firecrawl dashboard](https://www.firecrawl.dev/app)

2. Configure your SourceSync.ai namespace to use Firecrawl as the web scraping provider:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X PATCH https://api.sourcesync.ai/v1/namespaces/YOUR_NAMESPACE_ID \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SOURCE_SYNC_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "webScraperConfig": {
        "provider": "FIRECRAWL",
        "apiKey": "YOUR_FIRECRAWL_API_KEY"
      }
    }'
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  const response = await fetch(
    'https://api.sourcesync.ai/v1/namespaces/YOUR_NAMESPACE_ID',
    {
      method: 'PATCH',
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${SOURCE_SYNC_API_KEY}`,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        webScraperConfig: {
          provider: 'FIRECRAWL',
          apiKey: 'YOUR_FIRECRAWL_API_KEY',
        },
      }),
    }
  )
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  response = requests.patch(
      'https://api.sourcesync.ai/v1/namespaces/YOUR_NAMESPACE_ID',
      headers={
          'Authorization': f'Bearer {SOURCE_SYNC_API_KEY}',
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
      json={
          'webScraperConfig': {
              'provider': 'FIRECRAWL',
              'apiKey': 'YOUR_FIRECRAWL_API_KEY',
          },
      },
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Usage

Once configured, you can use SourceSync.ai's web scraping endpoints with Firecrawl's capabilities. Here are the main ingestion methods:

### URL List Ingestion

Scrape specific URLs:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST https://api.sourcesync.ai/v1/ingest/urls \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SOURCE_SYNC_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "namespaceId": "YOUR_NAMESPACE_ID",
      "ingestConfig": {
        "source": "URLS_LIST",
        "config": {
          "urls": [
            "https://example.com/page1",
            "https://example.com/page2"
          ],
          "scrapeOptions": {
            "includeSelectors": ["article", "main"],
            "excludeSelectors": [".navigation", ".footer"]
          }
        }
      }
    }'
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  const response = await fetch('https://api.sourcesync.ai/v1/ingest/urls', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${SOURCE_SYNC_API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      namespaceId: 'YOUR_NAMESPACE_ID',
      ingestConfig: {
        source: 'URLS_LIST',
        config: {
          urls: ['https://example.com/page1', 'https://example.com/page2'],
          scrapeOptions: {
            includeSelectors: ['article', 'main'],
            excludeSelectors: ['.navigation', '.footer'],
          },
        },
      },
    }),
  })
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  response = requests.post(
      'https://api.sourcesync.ai/v1/ingest/urls',
      headers={
          'Authorization': f'Bearer {SOURCE_SYNC_API_KEY}',
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
      json={
          'namespaceId': 'YOUR_NAMESPACE_ID',
          'ingestConfig': {
              'source': 'URLS_LIST',
              'config': {
                  'urls': ['https://example.com/page1', 'https://example.com/page2'],
                  'scrapeOptions': {
                      'includeSelectors': ['article', 'main'],
                      'excludeSelectors': ['.navigation', '.footer'],
                  },
              },
          },
      },
