René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Is there a free tier?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Sign up with a work email and you get 500 API credits at 30 requests/minute, plus 10K Logo Link requests, to test out both services. If you sign up with a free email provider (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.) you get 250 API credits at 10 requests/minute — upgrade to a work email or a paid plan for more."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What's the difference between API credits and Logo Link?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"They are two separate products with separate quotas. API credits are used to call any endpoint — brand data, logos, colors, fonts, and web scraping. Logo Link is a simpler service that returns just the square logo via a direct URL for displaying in your app. Logo Link has no rate limits and much higher quotas, while API credits have rate limits (calls per minute) that vary by plan."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do API credits work?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"API credits are the unit used to meter Context.dev API usage. Simple calls like scraping a page cost 1 credit. More advanced calls like brand retrieval, styleguide generation, structured extraction, or industry identification cost 10 credits. Logo Link requests are counted separately and do not use your API credits."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What pricing plans are available, and can I make one-time lookups instead of subscribing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Context.dev offers Developer ($25/mo), Pro ($149/mo), and Scale ($499/mo), plus Enterprise for teams that need more than 2M credits a month, volume discounts, or security and procurement support. We currently do not support one-time lookups, however you can contact us to discuss options for one-time projects at hello@context.dev."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which plan should I choose?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Start with Free if you are testing the API. Choose Developer if you are building your first real workflow. Choose Pro if you are running a production app with steady usage. Choose Scale if you are handling high-volume production traffic. Choose Enterprise if you need more than 2M credits/month, custom rate limits, SSO, an SLA, procurement support, or volume discounts. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time as your usage changes."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do you offer annual billing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Annual billing saves two months compared with monthly billing on every paid plan."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do you offer discounts for startups or nonprofits?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes! We offer a startup discount of up to 30% off for one year if you're still early-stage. Apply at https://www.context.dev/startup-discount"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Am I billed for failed requests?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. You are not billed for failed requests or requests where we are blocked (rarely happens). Credits are only consumed on successful responses."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are there extra fees for JS rendering, anti-bot bypass, or premium proxies?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. There are no hidden surcharges for stealth requests. JS rendering, anti-bot bypass, and premium proxies are all included at the standard 1 credit per page."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What happens when my API credits run out?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Each plan includes a monthly API credit allowance that replenishes automatically at the start of each billing cycle. Paid plans include metered overage billed in 10K-credit blocks (Developer $15, Pro $9, Scale $7 per 10K credits), so production traffic keeps running when usage spikes — you can disable overage from your dashboard. On the free tier, API calls return a 401 error once credits are depleted. Logo Link has a separate quota and is not affected when API credits run out."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What are the rate limits, and how can I increase them?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Rate limits apply only to API calls, not Logo Link. Rate limits vary by plan: Free tier has 30 calls/minute when you sign up with a work email (10 calls/minute for free email providers like Gmail), Developer has 60 calls/minute, Pro has 300 calls/minute, and Scale has 700 calls/minute. Logo Link has no rate limits. Enterprise plans include custom rate limits — contact us to discuss your use case."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why am I getting timeout errors?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"First-time domain lookups may take 10-30 seconds as we crawl and process the website. For time-sensitive applications, use the Prefetch endpoint to request brand data in advance, increase your client-side timeout to at least 30 seconds, or implement async/polling patterns for batch operations. Approximately 70% of requests hit cached brands, which return much faster."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How fresh is the brand data? How often is it updated?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Cached brand data is refreshed quarterly by default. Any brand older than 3 months is completely re-fetched when requested via the API. You can request a manual refresh for specific domains using our brand update form at https://www.context.dev/update. Image/logo URLs are guaranteed to remain valid for up to 1 year."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do you support subdomains?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, subdomains are fully supported."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What if I need additional data points?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"We are constantly adding new data points to the API and have more data under the hood that we don't surface yet. If you need a specific data point, please contact us at hello@context.dev and we will be happy to surface it."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What SDKs are available?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"We provide official SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Go, and PHP."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"When should I talk to sales?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"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."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How can my agent sign up?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"AI agents can register and obtain API credentials programmatically using our agent authentication guide (auth.md). You will still need to sign in or verify your email. Share the link with your agent:"}}]}
