How AI is used
Context.dev is a developer-focused API designed to extract and structure data from the web. It allows users to pull raw HTML, images, and sitemaps, or convert webpages into Markdown format, which supports use with Large Language Models (LLMs).
The tool is intended for software companies, fintech apps, and data teams that need to programmatically retrieve company identities. It provides structured data including logos, brand colors, social profiles, and NAICS classifications.
Beyond scraping, the API includes a function for transaction identification, which helps match merchant descriptors to recognized brands. This is commonly used in accounting and expense management workflows.
Buyers should confirm if the credit-based pricing model fits their volume needs and whether the rate limits of the available plans align with their required response speeds.
