Overview
Context.dev is a specialized web context API designed to bridge the gap between static Large Language Models (LLMs) and the dynamic live web. It empowers AI agents and software teams to access fresh, structured data from any website without building and maintaining complex scraping infrastructure. By consolidating web scraping, brand intelligence, and data extraction into a single platform, Context.dev enables developers to ground their AI applications in real-time information, automate onboarding flows, and enrich company profiles instantly.
Key Features
- Web Scraping & Crawling: Extract clean, LLM-ready Markdown, HTML, and images from any URL or crawl entire websites via sitemaps. Supports JavaScript rendering and anti-bot evasion natively.
- Structured Data Extraction: Use JSON schemas or Zod to define exactly what data you need (e.g., pricing tiers, product specs) and have the API return structured JSON directly from web pages.
- Brand Intelligence API: Resolve domains, emails, or tickers to comprehensive brand profiles, including logos, colors, fonts, style guides, social links, and firmographic data (industry, revenue, location).
- Logo & Asset CDN: A dedicated "Logo Link" service that provides high-quality logos and screenshots via simple image URLs without consuming API credits.
- Transaction Identification: Parse messy merchant descriptors from bank transactions to identify the actual brand, category, and location.
- Agent-First Design: Includes specialized endpoints and documentation for AI agents, allowing them to autonomously sign up, retrieve keys, and integrate web context into their reasoning loops.
Use Cases
- Grounding RAG Systems: Feed AI chatbots and knowledge bases with up-to-date content from product docs, blogs, and websites to prevent hallucinations and outdated answers.
- Automated Onboarding: Pre-fill company fields in SaaS sign-up forms using just a work email domain, reducing friction and improving activation rates.
- Competitor Analysis & Market Research: Programmatically scrape competitor pricing pages, product listings, and style guides to track market changes in real-time.
- AI Agent Development: Equip autonomous agents with the ability to "read" the web, check current stock levels, verify company details, or analyze news articles during task execution.
