Context.dev Launches a Structured-Data API for Any Website, Hits 104 Points on Hacker News

Hacker News·medium signal

YC S26 company Context.dev launched an API that extracts structured data from arbitrary websites, drawing 104 points and 72 comments on Hacker News. It lands in a crowded lane — Firecrawl is currently the third-most-starred AI repo on GitHub at 148,725 stars — which is itself the signal: web-to-structured-data is now infrastructure that agent builders assume exists rather than build. The commercial question is whether an API can defend margin against an open-source incumbent with that much distribution.
