Context API / Scrape HTML

Context.dev tool context-dev-web-scrape-html on looot: input fields, $0.0025 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Scrapes the given URL and returns the raw HTML content of the page. The base request costs 1 credit; requests with browser actions cost 2 credits.

Tool id: context-dev-web-scrape-html
Provider: Context.dev
Job: Get a web page’s HTML (web.scrape.html)
Price: $0.0025 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
`actions`	string	no	Optional browser actions executed in array order after the page loads and before content is captured. Requires a paid plan. Send a JSON array in the query parameter. Maximum: 5 actions.
`country`	string	no	Fetch the target page through a residential proxy in this country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2). Example: “de”
`excludeSelectors`	string	no	CSS selectors to remove from the result. Applied after includeSelectors. Exclusion takes precedence: an element matching both is removed. Examples: “nav”, “footer”, “.ad-banner”, “[aria-hidden=true]”.
`headers`	string	no	Optional outbound HTTP headers forwarded only to the target URL, sent as deep-object query params such as headers[X-Custom]=value. When provided, caching is bypassed: the result is neither read from nor written to cache.
`includeFrames`	boolean	no	When true, iframes are rendered inline into the returned HTML.
`includeSelectors`	string	no	CSS selectors. When provided, only matching subtrees (and their descendants) are kept and everything else is dropped. When omitted, the entire document is kept. Examples: “article.main”, “#content”, “[role=main]”.
`maxAgeMs`	string	no	Return a cached result if a prior scrape for the same parameters exists and is younger than this many milliseconds. Defaults to 1 day (86400000 ms) when omitted. Max is 30 days (2592000000 ms). Set to 0 to always scrape fresh.
`pdf`	string	no	PDF parsing controls. Use start/end to limit text extraction and embedded-image detection/OCR to an inclusive 1-based page range.
`settleAnimations`	boolean	no	When true, waits briefly for CSS and transition animations to settle before extracting HTML. Defaults to false. This adds a bit of latency in exchange for more stable output on animated pages.
`tags`	array	no	Optional tags for tracking usage. Up to 20 tags, each 1 to 50 characters.
`timeoutMS`	integer	no	Optional timeout in milliseconds for the request. If the request takes longer than this value, it will be aborted with a 408 status code. Maximum allowed value is 300000ms (5 minutes).
`url`	string	yes	Full URL to scrape (must include http:// or https:// protocol). Example: “https://www.example.com”
`useMainContentOnly`	boolean	no	When true, return only the page’s main content in the HTML response, excluding headers, footers, sidebars, and navigation when detectable.
`waitForMs`	string	no	Optional browser wait time in milliseconds after initial page load. Min: 0. Max: 30000 (30 seconds).
`zdr`	string	no	Set to enabled to bypass shared caches and omit request and response content from retained usage logs. Requires zero data retention to be enabled for your organization (contact support@context.dev), otherwise the request fails with ZDR_NOT_ENABLED. Successful ZDR responses include X-Context-ZDR: true.

Output

Shape of the run’s result, checked against 1 real answer:

{ url, html, type, success, metadata: { title, favicon, finalUrl, headings: { te... ...

The shape is cut here. Signed in, looot inspect context-dev-web-scrape-html prints all of it.

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:
