Context.dev

What Is Context.dev?

Context.dev is a web scraping, data extraction, and brand intelligence API platform built for AI agents, LLM applications, and developers. It provides a unified way to access live web content, crawl websites, extract structured data, retrieve company and brand information, and enrich web datasets.

AI-Ready Web Scraping

Context.dev can scrape websites into clean Markdown or raw HTML, with JavaScript rendering and anti-bot handling. This helps AI applications access current web content without requiring developers to maintain their own scraping infrastructure.

Structured Data Extraction

The Extract API allows developers to define desired outputs using JSON Schema and receive typed JSON from websites. It can analyze multiple relevant pages and provide the URLs used during extraction, while fact-check mode can help reduce unsupported inferences.

Website Crawling

The Website Crawler API can crawl websites and return their content as Markdown. Developers can configure crawl depth, page limits, URL filters, and subdomain behavior for RAG systems, knowledge bases, and AI applications.

Web Search and Screenshots

Context.dev provides web search and website screenshot capabilities, allowing AI agents to discover relevant information and capture visual representations of web pages.

Brand Intelligence

The platform can retrieve company and brand information such as logos, colors, fonts, social profiles, addresses, descriptions, industry codes, and style guides, helping applications enrich business and brand records.

Product and Entity Extraction

Context.dev provides APIs for extracting product information and product catalogs, alongside capabilities for NAICS, SIC, and transaction identification.

People and News Enrichment

Developers can search company news and enrich people using available information such as email addresses, social profiles, names, companies, education, and location.

Developer APIs and SDKs

Context.dev provides REST APIs and SDKs for TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Go, and PHP. Developers can use its APIs to integrate web data and enrichment capabilities into their applications.

AI Agent and MCP Workflows

Context.dev is designed to provide live web context for AI agents and supports MCP-based workflows, enabling compatible agents and development environments to access web information programmatically.

Who Is Context.dev For?

Context.dev is designed for AI developers, software engineers, startups, data teams, researchers, RAG builders, AI agent developers, sales intelligence teams, and businesses that need structured or real-time web data.

Benefits of Using Context.dev

Context.dev brings web scraping, crawling, structured extraction, brand intelligence, search, screenshots, and entity enrichment together through one API. Its schema-based extraction and live web access can simplify the development of AI agents, RAG systems, research applications, data pipelines, and enrichment workflows.

Limitations

Context.dev is primarily a developer infrastructure platform, so effective use generally requires API or software development knowledge. Usage is credit-based, and advanced extraction and enrichment endpoints can consume more credits than basic scraping. Available capabilities and limits vary by plan.
