Context.dev

Context.dev is a web scraping and data extraction API for developers building AI agents, research tools, and data workflows. It converts web pages into Markdown or rendered HTML, crawls websites, and extracts information into a JSON Schema you define.

You could use it to collect product details, compare information across company websites, or supply current documentation to an AI assistant. Your application decides what to do with the returned data. Context provides the retrieval and extraction tools rather than a finished chatbot.

Give AI agents usable web content

The scraping tools handle individual pages, while crawling and sitemap discovery help you work across a site. Separate endpoints retrieve images and capture screenshots. Markdown output can feed a searchable knowledge base, and structured extraction can return fields such as product names, descriptions, or pricing information.

Schema matching makes the output easier to process, but does not guarantee that every extracted value is correct. Check important fields against their sources and handle missing information in your application.

Retrieve brand information and design details

Context also provides brand and style data. You can retrieve company profiles and visual assets, or extract a website's colors, typography, spacing, and component styles as structured design tokens.

For a customer onboarding workflow, a domain lookup could help populate company details. A design tool could use style data to suggest colors and fonts. Brand records may come from cached data, so they should not be treated as a fresh reading of the website on every request.

Pricing and usage

A free plan includes recurring API credits for testing. Paid subscriptions increase credit allowances, request rates, and concurrency, with metered overage available.

Credit costs differ by endpoint and options. Structured extraction and brand retrieval use more credits than a basic page scrape; some browser actions and enrichment options also change the cost. Logo Link has a separate quota. Estimate usage from the calls your workflow actually makes, not just the number of websites it visits.
