Python

Install the Python SDK, scrape a page, look up a brand, and set timeouts and retries.

The context.dev package requires Python 3.9 or later. SDKs covers the API key and the defaults all SDKs share.

Install

Create a virtual environment, then install the SDK:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install context.dev

Scrape a page

Save this as scrape.py and run python scrape.py. It prints the page as Markdown, starting with # Example Domain.

scrape.py

import os
from context.dev import ContextDev

client = ContextDev(api_key=os.environ["CONTEXT_DEV_API_KEY"])

page = client.web.scrape(
    url="https://example.com",
    formats={"markdown": True},
    shared_params={"main_content_only": True},
)

print(page.markdown.data)

Look up a brand

Replace the request and the print line with this lookup. It prints the company name.

response = client.brand.retrieve(
    type="by_domain",
    domain="stripe.com",
)

print(response.brand.title if response.brand else None)

Notes

• Methods and parameters use snake_case. Nested parameters are dictionaries with snake_case keys, such as shared_params={"main_content_only": True}.
• Set timeout in seconds and max_retries on the client: ContextDev(timeout=120.0, max_retries=0).
• AsyncContextDev has the same methods for asyncio code.
