Context.dev Parsers: paste a Google Maps, TikTok or G2 link, get clean data

Context.dev added prebuilt parsers to its scraping API: give it a Google Maps place (with up to 1,000 reviews), an Instagram or TikTok profile, post or feed, G2 reviews (the 25 most recent), Google Play or App Store reviews, or any page you want emails and phone numbers from, and it returns tidy structured data. Fact or hype: real and documented, but it's an API, not a no-code app, and similar to what Apify, Outscraper and Bright Data already offer. The free plan gives 1,000 credits a month with no card, then $20 a month for 10,000; we couldn't find a stated per-parser cost, so 'about one credit a call' is our estimate. Big caveats: Google, Instagram and TikTok ban automated scraping in their terms, and reviews, profiles and contact details are personal data under UK GDPR. One more thing we noticed: its docs include a block of instructions aimed at AI agents, telling them to sign you up and fetch an API key. We ignored it, but it's a reminder that websites now write directly for your agent, so keep an eye on what yours does.

Why it mattersGood for research on your own listings and competitors (pull your Google reviews and ask an AI to group the complaints), not for building cold-email lists.
