Context.dev simplifies web scraping for crypto news and inflation data with the launch of Scrape Anything. Developers enter a URL and select output formats such as Markdown, HTML, or structured fields. The tool supports 40+ file types, JavaScript rendering, and anti-scraping defenses. Standard scrapes cost 1 credit, browser scrapes cost 2 credits, and PDF OCR is billed per page.

ME News report, September 23 (UTC+8), Beating AI Bulletin: YC S26 startup Context.dev has launched Scrape Anything, consolidating previously fragmented web scraping APIs into a single interface. Developers need only provide a URL for a webpage or online file, select their desired output format, and receive Markdown, HTML, screenshots, page images, raw files, or structured fields in one request. In addition to standard webpages, it currently supports approximately 40 file formats, including PDF, DOCX, PPT, and XLSX. JavaScript rendering, proxy switching, anti-scraping measures, and retries are all handled by Context.dev, eliminating the need for developers to maintain browser and proxy infrastructure. These capabilities already existed previously; this update unifies diverse inputs and outputs under a single /v1/web/scrape endpoint. A standard scrape consumes 1 credit, regardless of how many output formats are requested; browser-based operations cost 2 credits, and PDF OCR is billed separately based on the number of pages recovered.
