## Tools

### Extract Structured Web Data

**Slug:** `CONTEXT_DEV_EXTRACT_STRUCTURED_WEB_DATA`

Crawl relevant pages from a website and return data matching a caller-provided JSON Schema and extraction instructions. This is a higher-cost metered call; use SCRAPE_WEBPAGE_MARKDOWN when Markdown is sufficient. The verified one-page call consumed 10 Context.dev credits, and cost increases with pages analyzed.

**Instant:** Supported on the latest version.

**Instant pricing:** From $0.025 per structured extraction; more pages use more credits

**Discount:** 44

| `tags` | array | No | Usage-tracking tags. Provide at most 20 tags of 1-50 characters each. |
