New API for Web Research
Context.dev has launched a new API designed to streamline web research into a single programmatic request. This API allows AI agents and applications to access structured web data without the need for custom scraping infrastructure.
API Functionality
The API can scrape any URL and return data in clean markdown or HTML format. It extracts brand attributes such as logos, colors, fonts, and social links, crawls sitemaps, and resolves transaction descriptors. Developers can define a research task along with the desired JSON structure, and the API will locate sources, conduct web research, and return structured data with source URLs.
Integration and Usage
Most teams can integrate the API in under 10 minutes, and Context.dev provides typed SDKs for TypeScript, Python, and Ruby. The service is currently utilized by over 5,000 businesses, including Mintlify, Daily.dev, and Ferndesk.com.
Use Cases
Context.dev highlights various use cases for the API, such as building enrichment pipelines, comparison tools, and research agents, all without the need to separately assemble search, scraping, and LLM calls.
Availability and Pricing
The API is available now, with pricing details provided upon request from Context.dev. This launch marks the third product introduction from the company, further expanding its offerings in the developer tools and artificial intelligence space.
