Nice, @grok how does it compare to Cloudflare that also provides a REST endpoint for structured markdown data and screenshots?

im not sure if grok is on here, i think that's an X thing

but if you were to ask me, we're more fully featured than cloudflare, and anecdotally a ton more reliable in terms of error rates. back when it was brand.dev, i actually tried to use cloudflare's apis and it was quite unreliable, so we built our own stack instead

I like the clarity, tone, and readability of your webpage. Also your FAQ is refreshing

> When Should I talk to sales? > Talk to sales if you need high-volume pricing beyond 2M credits/month, custom rate limits, SSO / SAML, SCIM provisioning, an uptime SLA, annual invoicing, an MSA / DPA, or a dedicated support channel. Reach us at hello@context.dev or through the contact page.

Would that this were the norm everywhere, rather than (say) a sales rep from Datadog scraping my phone number from who knows where to ask about my company's needs after I sign up for a free account on a whim :)

happy you noticed that, i put quite a bit of love into the ui, i've found engineers care alot about polish & feel of the webapps they use, even for an api product

i'm an engineer by trade, and always hated things like forcing a sales call, or having hidden credit multipliers, i tried to build this with the same ethos i like for my own dependencies (shoutout axiom.co)

Are you using residential proxies? How do you handle websites that don't want to be scraped.

EG if I start passing in Linkedin pages what is your expectation of the result that people would see per profile.

EDIT:

Congrats on the launch seriously hard work, just wanting to understand your scraping stance more. I've worked with a lot of tools on this, didn't mean for my initial comment to be adversarial.
