Web data for agents · by Context Dev Inc.

Context.dev

A paid REST API that turns any URL into Markdown, HTML, screenshots or schema-shaped JSON, crawls or maps whole sites, runs large URL batches, searches the web and news, watches pages for changes, and returns company brand data (logos, colors, fonts); formerly Brand.dev.

An agent or RAG pipeline gets clean page text from JavaScript-heavy or protected sites without you running headless browsers and proxy pools.

For your agent

  • Send `Authorization: Bearer $CONTEXT_DEV_API_KEY` to https://api.context.dev/v1 (e.g. POST /v1/web/scrape with formats {markdown: true}); SDKs: `context.dev` on npm, PyPI and RubyGems, `context-go-sdk` (Go), `context-dev/context-dev-php`; the hosted MCP server uses OAuth. Do not use the deprecated brand.dev domain or @brand-dev packages.
  • Keep the API key server-side; it is a bearer token that spends credits
  • You are responsible for rights in scraped third-party content; the service grants no licence to it
  • Use context.dev package names, not the deprecated brand.dev ones
