Launch HN: Context.dev (YC S26) – API to get structured data from any website
context.dev TheYahiaBakour
Yahia launched Context.dev, a YC S26 startup offering an API that converts web pages into structured data formats (Markdown, JSON, extracted images) for AI agents and applications. The API extracts company metadata, pricing information, and custom-defined data structures from any public website, with configurable caching to avoid overwhelming servers. Developers can now build chatbots, enrichment pipelines, and AI agents that automatically reason about web content without handling raw HTML or writing custom scrapers.
Why it matters
Hi Hacker News, I’m Yahia. I built Context.dev (https://www.context.dev/) to make it really easy to integrate web data into your products and agents.Here’s a demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/build-faster-with-context-dev-api...Since it’s an API, here are the docs: https://docs.context.dev/quickstart.You can send us a URL and get back clean Markdown, rendered HTML, screenshots, extracted images, etc.. You can also send us a domain and get company or brand context: name, description, logos, colors, fonts, social links, screenshots, style information, and related metadata. For more custom use cases, you can send a URL plus a JSON Schema and ask us to extract structured data from the site into that shape. For example, you might ask for pricing plans, product categories, office locations, support links, integration partners, or anything else that is visible on the public site.The goal is to give developers the output they actually want. Raw HTML is rarely the useful thing; the useful
