Hi everyone.

00:00

My name is Yahya and I'm the founder of context.dev.

00:03

we're an API product to get you data from the Internet really fast.

00:06

It's meant to be used as infrastructure.

00:08

We're going to do a quick demo of our dashboard.

00:10

It's your typical developer portal.

00:11

We tried to make it look nice, you can manage your keys, mess with the playground.

00:15

There's a logolink feature similar to what clearbit had before HubSpot.

00:18

Shut it down, make monitor usage and invite people.

00:21

In terms of the APIs, we have a lot of APIs that you can mix and match.

00:25

We're going to go ahead and try the Extract API.

00:28

So this is a typical JSON schema.

00:30

We're going to generate one to pull pricing plans.

00:33

You can also in your code use Zod or Pedantic and just toss it right in.

00:37

And we have a really efficient way to navigate websites and extract information on the fly.

00:41

It also uses our own caching layer so you can avoid hitting the website multiple times.

00:46

in this case we pulled the pricing tiers for resend.com so they have free, Pro, Scale and Enterprise which came back as zero because we set the monthly price to required and we put it as a number.

00:56

We have other APIs like crawling a website, extracting HTML, markdown and we handle a lot of things automatically so it should just work.

01:03

we handle Excel files, PDFs, DOCX, PowerPoints, We also have a lot of opinionated ways of setting these parameters.

01:11

A lot of them are on by default, such as shortening base 64 images because if one base 64 image gets into your prompt to your AI agent to figure out what the website does, it will blow up your context window immediately.

01:21

You can also mix and match it with the retrieve brand API.

01:24

So I'm going to try it on resend.com we fetch official public, information about the company and then you can integrate it into your product to make it really pop.

01:31

It gives an aha moment especially during onboarding if people just confirm rather than set it all up.

01:36

using this, you can go to context.dev customers and view all of our customers and how they use different things.

01:43

set up this page integrations They just used Eve.dev with three of our APIs and it maps out the full publicly available developer web surface for any company.

01:52

So let's say you want to see what APIs Atlassian has.

01:55

It pulls the APIs, the MCP, GraphQL CLIS and then also tells you all how credentials are supposed to be set up and he was able to build this really cool thing with it.
