Context.dev Answers

O que é Context.dev Answers?

Context.dev Answers is a web research API for applications that need structured, source-backed information. Submit a task and define the desired JSON shape; the endpoint returns JSON content together with the sources used. Requests can use fast mode for shorter tasks or ultra mode for deeper research.

O que Context.dev Answers pode fazer?

Schema-shaped JSON responses

Provide a `json_format` object in the request to describe the fields your application needs. The response places the extracted result in `json_content`.

Sourced web research

Each response includes a `sources` array, allowing downstream workflows to retain the web references associated with the returned answer.

Selectable research depth

Choose `fast` for a short task or `ultra` when the request calls for deeper research, as described in the API documentation.

API-based integration

Call `POST /v1/web/answers` with bearer-token authorization and a JSON request body containing the task, mode, and requested output format.

Execution and credit metadata

Responses expose whether the result is partial and include key metadata such as credits consumed and credits remaining.

Casos de uso

“Research current web facts”

Ask a defined question about public web content and return the findings in fields that can be stored, displayed, or passed to another service.

“Build structured comparison data”

Use a schema with fields such as URLs, names, or other attributes to collect comparable information across web research tasks instead of handling unstructured prose.

“Ground application workflows with sources”

Pass JSON results and their source list into an internal research, enrichment, or content workflow where traceable web evidence is useful.
