What website is this?
Context.dev is a Web Context API for developers and AI agents: send a domain or URL and get structured JSON or Markdown ready for LLMs. Web scraping, brand profiles (logos, colors, fonts, company summaries), schema-based extraction, and NAICS/SIC classification share one REST surface, with SDKs for TypeScript, Python, and more plus an MCP server. When an agent or SaaS needs both page content and company-side metadata, stitching together separate crawlers and enrichment services often costs more to maintain—an all-in-one API fits that integration path better.
Key Features
- Scrape a URL into nav/ad-stripped Markdown or raw HTML
- Resolve logos, brand colors, fonts, social links, and company info from a domain
- Extract structured fields across internal links using a custom JSON Schema
- Crawl same-domain pages from a start URL and return Markdown plus page metadata
- Classify domains with NAICS/SIC codes or match transaction descriptors to merchant brands
- Embed logos via the Logo Link CDN without consuming API credits
Use Cases
- AI agent developers fetch competitor pages as Markdown in chat flows for RAG retrieval and citations
- SaaS teams prefill onboarding with logos, company blurbs, and social links from a work-email domain
- Product ops batch-extract structured fields from competitor pricing pages into comparison tables
- Finance or bookkeeping apps turn card transaction descriptors into merchant brand profiles with logos
- No-code users trigger brand lookups in Zapier or Make scenarios and write results to CRMs or sheets
Who is it for?
- Backend or full-stack developers building AI agents that need reliable web context
- B2B SaaS teams auto-filling brand assets in CRMs, onboarding, or email templates
- Design/front-end teams that need high-volume company logos via the Logo Link CDN
- Integrators who want MCP to expose web and brand APIs directly to Cursor, Claude, and other agents
- Personal projects that only scrape a few static pages occasionally and can tolerate hand-rolled scripts (credits may be less economical)
- Strict compliance environments that must keep all data on-prem and cannot send URLs to third parties (evaluate whether external API calls are allowed)
How It Compares to Similar Tools?
Markdown-only crawl APIs usually lack brand enrichment; Context.dev bundles scraping, brand profiles, product extraction, and a logo CDN under one credits system. If you only read a single page now and then, self-hosted Playwright or open-source crawlers may be cheaper; if agents need “page content + logo/industry/socials,” fewer vendor stitches helps. Logo/brand-only services often skip full-site Markdown crawls—here both sit behind one API key. For continuous whole-site monitoring, check whether monthly credits and per-plan rate limits cover your volume.
