YC-Backed Context.dev Launches API to Turn the Live Web into Structured Data for AI Agents
ycombinator · x · 2026-08-06
Context.dev is a Web Scraping API officially launched on YC, designed to solve the problem that the web was built for humans to browse, not agents to understand.
The product turns the live web into structured, continuously refreshed data via a single API. It supports extracting markdown, HTML, full-site crawls, and brand data. Trusted by over 400 customers, it is used to power LLMs with fresh web context, automate brand kits, and enrich company profiles.
