# Context API Chrome Extension

Install Spur's Context API Chrome Extension to look up IP enrichment data directly from any web page — highlight an IP and get results inline, without leaving your browser. This is a developer-mode tool, not a Chrome Web Store listing.

## Prerequisites

- A Spur Context API key
- Google Chrome with access to Developer Mode for extensions

## Outcomes

- Install the Context API Chrome Extension
- Look up IP enrichment data directly from any web page

## Step 1: Download and load the extension

This extension is distributed as source code, not through the Chrome Web Store. Download or clone the repository from GitHub: spurintel/chrome-context. In Chrome, go to the menu (top-right) > More Tools > Extensions, then turn on Developer Mode using the toggle in the top-right of that page.

## Step 2: Load the unpacked extension

Click "Load unpacked" in the top-left of the Extensions page and select the extension directory from the downloaded repository. The extension icon will appear in your Chrome toolbar.

## Step 3: Add your Context API key

Right-click the extension icon, choose Options, and enter your Spur Context API key. The extension needs this to make enrichment requests on your behalf.

## Step 4: Look up an IP address

On any web page, highlight an IP address, then either click the extension icon or press Ctrl+Shift+F (the default shortcut, changeable at chrome://extensions/shortcuts). Spur's Context API enrichment data for that IP appears inline.
