Context.dev is a web scraping and extraction API. Send a URL, get clean Markdown, rendered HTML, a screenshot, or structured JSON matching a schema you define. Send a domain, get a typed brand profile, design system, or industry classification. Every response is typed JSON (or plain Markdown you keep), served from `https://api.context.dev/v1` with a `Authorization: Bearer ctxt_secret_...` header. ## Rendering, bot protection, and dynamic pages Every scrape renders in a real stealth browser, so JavaScript-heavy pages and single-page apps return their actual content, not an empty shell: * **Automatic anti-bot handling.** Requests escalate through datacenter and residential proxy pools when blocked, and bot-protection challenges (Cloudflare, DataDome, reCAPTCHA) are detected and handled automatically, on every plan at no extra cost. * **Geo-pinned fetching.** Pass `country` to fetch through a residential proxy in a specific country for geo-restricted or localized content. * **[Browser actions](/guides/scrape-websites-to-markdown#run-browser-actions-before-scraping).** Run up to 5 ordered actions before capture (paid plans): `wait`, `scroll` (handles lazy-loading and infinite scroll, including inner containers), and `perform`, a natural-language instruction such as `click the "Load more" button`, to reach paginated or interaction-gated content. * **Dynamic-content controls.** `settleAnimations` waits for CSS transitions to finish, `includeFrames` inlines iframe content, and `maxAgeMs` controls cache freshness. * **Documents too.** PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and CSV URLs are parsed natively into Markdown. ## Context Reference Context.dev APIs can give you these outputs. | Output | Examples | Use this to | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | [Markdown / HTML](/guides/scrape-websites-to-markdown#scrape-a-single-page-to-markdown) | `# Vercel Pricing…` or fully-rendered `...` | Feed LLMs and RAG pipelines, or run your own parsers | | [Structured data from webpage](/guides/extract-structured-data-from-websites) | Define a JSON Schema; get it back typed: `founded_year: 2010`, `has_free_trial: true`, `pricing_tiers: [{ name: "Pro", price: 99 }]` | Comparison pages and structured extraction at scale | | [Screenshot](/guides/take-webpage-screenshot) | Hosted PNG at a `1920×1080` viewport or full-page height | Link previews, share cards, and visual archives | | [Product data](/guides/extract-product-from-websites) | `Men's Wool Runner · $110 USD · MENS_WOOL_RUNNERS` + features, images | Catalogs, price monitoring, and competitor tracking | | [Logos](/guides/get-brand-data) | Light, dark, and icon variants in SVG + PNG, each with `type`, `mode`, and `resolution` | Render brand logos in onboarding, CRMs, and logo walls | | [Company profile](/guides/get-brand-data) | Title, description, slogan, email, phone, and a links map (careers, blog, pricing, terms, privacy) | Enrich CRM records and pre-fill onboarding forms | | [Social handles](/guides/get-brand-data) | Typed URLs for X, LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, and 25+ more | Populate social links and power outreach | | [Company Address](/guides/get-brand-data) | `140 2nd Street, San Francisco, CA, US, 94105` | Territory routing, KYC, and firmographic enrichment | | [Stock](/guides/get-brand-data) | Stock ticker (\$AAPL) and exchange name (NASDAQ) for public companies | Investor dashboards and ticker enrichment | | [Industry codes (EIC / NAICS / SIC)](/guides/classification/overview) | EIC `Technology › Software (B2B)` inline on every full brand response; NAICS `334220` and SIC `3663` with confidence scores | Segment and route accounts, plus regulatory and SEC reporting | | [Website Styleguide](/guides/extract-design-system-from-website#extract-the-full-styleguide) | Accent / background / text colors, typography, spacing, shadows, button + card CSS | Build on-brand UI and white-label theming | | [Fonts](/guides/extract-design-system-from-website#extract-just-the-fonts) | `Geist` (weights 400–900) with downloadable `@font-face` URLs and usage counts | Match brand typography in emails, ads, and PDFs | | [Dynamic embeddable logo](/guides/get-logo-from-url) | `logos.context.dev/?publicClientId=brandLL_xxx&domain=stripe.com` as an `` src | High-volume logo embeds straight from a CDN | | [Merchant from a transaction](/guides/enrich-transaction-codes) | `AMZN MKTP US` → Amazon + Retail | Spend analytics and transaction tagging | ## Context.dev APIs There are 4 product categories: Render, crawl, screenshot, and extract structured data from any URL. Bot detection bypass and proxy escalation are automatic. Get clean markdown for reachable pages on a website Get clean markdown with nav and ads stripped, ready for LLMs. Get full-page or custom viewport size screenshot of a webpage. Get structured data about the products on a website Describe the data you want as a JSON Schema and get a typed JSON answer extracted from a website's pages. Resolve a domain into a brand's assets and metadata: logos, colors, company profile data, and industry labels. Get company logos, description, social media handles, address, and more from just the name, domain, work email, or stock ticker. Get colors, fonts, spacing and shadows for detected components. Get detected font families, weights, @import links, and usage counts. Embed always-fresh brand logos straight from a CDN, no API call required. Display brand logos on your website with one embeddable URL Classify a domain by industry code, or resolve a card descriptor to a real merchant. Get the assigned NAICS code and industry for regulatory reporting from a domain name. Get the assigned SIC code and industry for tax and accounting systems from a domain name. Get the merchant's brand and industry from transaction information or MCC. ## Features * **Free plan, no credit card needed.** Personal-email signups receive 250 one-time API credits; work-email signups receive 500. Every Free account also receives 10K one-time Logo Link credits. * **Simple, credit-based pricing with a subscription.** Every API call costs a fixed number of credits. Plans come with generous and clear rate limits. * **Simple APIs and SDKs built for developers.** Consistent authentication and response shapes for every endpoint. * **Typed responses.** Every endpoint returns typed JSON output, so you won't need to parse responses. * **Bot detection bypass on every plan at no extra cost.** Automatic proxy escalation for webpage crawling on every plan. ## Reliability * **Warm-cache hits avoid crawl work.** They are generally faster than first-time retrievals. * **Cold hits** may run a full crawl through a specialized pipeline and can take materially longer, up to the five-minute platform timeout. Use [prefetch](/optimization/prefetching) to move cold work ahead of a user-facing request, and choose `timeoutMS` for your latency budget. ## Deployment and data portability Context.dev is a hosted API — there is no self-hosted edition to operate, patch, or scale. What keeps you portable: * **You keep every byte.** Responses are plain Markdown and standard JSON delivered to you per request. Store them wherever you want; nothing lives only inside Context.dev. * **Standard formats, no proprietary schema.** Structured extraction uses JSON Schema you define, classifications use official NAICS/SIC/EIC codes, and assets are plain PNG/SVG files. Swapping providers means changing an HTTP call, not migrating data. * **[Zero Data Retention](/optimization/zero-data-retention)** is available as an opt-in mode on scraping and parsing endpoints for sensitive workloads. * **[API stability policy](/optimization/api-stability)** documents how the API is versioned and how deprecations are announced. ## Ways to use Context.dev Official SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Go, and PHP. One bearer-token header, fully typed responses. Call any endpoint directly over HTTPS with a bearer token. No SDK required. Give Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible agent direct access to Context.dev. Drop brand and web data into [Zapier](/nocode/zapier), [Make](/nocode/make), [Google Sheets](/nocode/google-sheets), and [Excel](/nocode/microsoft-excel). ## Next steps Install an SDK and make your first call in two steps. Set up an AI agent to call Context.dev correctly.
