Launch HN: Context.dev (YC S26), API to get structured data from any website

Context.dev launched an API designed to provide structured data from any website, the company announced. The service offers web scraping, crawling, and AI-powered extraction capabilities through a single REST API and software development kits. Features include conversion of web pages to clean markdown, structured data extraction using defined schemas, and brand intelligence such as logos, colors, and firmographics resolved from domains or email addresses. The company said the platform replaces the need to build internal crawlers, maintain scraping infrastructure, or combine multiple vendors. Integration is designed to take minutes with self-serve sign-up and immediate API key generation. Mintlify used Context.dev to build a tool that transforms a GitHub repository URL into a branded documentation site in under 10 minutes of integration time, according to the company. Engineers from Mintlify, UsePropane.ai, Architect, DocsBot, and Vizzy provided testimonials citing fast onboarding, thorough documentation, and improved activation rates. The API supports use cases including AI agent web access, retrieval index updates, user onboarding pre-fill, and merchant descriptor resolution.
