Description
Context.dev is the web context API for AI products and agents. Scrape any URL, crawl sites, turn pages into LLM-ready Markdown, extract structured data into your own schema, capture screenshots, and retrieve logos, colors, fonts, styleguides, company data, and transaction enrichment through one API. YC-backed, no card required, and built so developers or coding agents can integrate in minutes.

Could you build this?
No Building a reliable web-scraping and extraction API at scale requires evading anti-bot protections (Cloudflare, Akamai), managing massive rotating proxy pools, and running headless browser clusters.
What it would actually take: Requires a fleet of headless browsers (Playwright/Puppeteer) distributed across worldwide residential and mobile proxy pools with sophisticated fingerprint manipulation (TLS, canvas, audio context). The extraction pipeline requires distributed worker queues (Celery/Kafka), HTML cleaning algorithms (e.g., Readability, DOM tree pruning), and multimodal LLM inference pipelines for visual parsing. Deep domain expertise in reverse-engineering anti-bot systems and infrastructure scaling is mandatory.
