Beating AI Express: Y Combinator S26 startup Context.dev has launched Scrape Anything, consolidating previously fragmented web scraping APIs into a single interface. Developers only need to provide a URL for a webpage or online file, select their desired output format, and receive results including Markdown, HTML, screenshots, page images, raw files, or structured fields in one request. In addition to standard web pages, the tool currently supports around 40 file formats, such as PDF, DOCX, PPT, and XLSX. JavaScript rendering, proxy switching, anti-crawling handling, and retries are all managed by Context.dev, eliminating the need for developers to maintain their own browser and proxy infrastructure. While these capabilities already existed prior to this launch, the update primarily unifies disparate inputs and outputs under a single /v1/web/scrape endpoint. A standard scrape consumes 1 credit; requests for multiple output formats share this single base charge. Using browser-based operations costs 2 credits, and PDF OCR is billed separately based on the number of pages processed.
