Everything you need to collect web data
Good data projects need more than a basic script, because websites often block automated requests. Bright Data therefore bundles the key tools in one place.
Proxy networks
Several proxy types route requests through many locations, and then sites see traffic from the regions you choose.
Web scraper APIs
Ready-made scrapers return structured data, because parsing messy pages by hand takes time.
SERP API
Search results can be collected programmatically, while location settings show what local users see.
Web Unlocker
Automated unlocking tools help requests get through blocks, which saves manual retries.
Ready-made datasets
Datasets are also available, so you can skip collection when existing data fits your needs.
Scraping browser
Browser-based tools handle dynamic pages, although some projects still need custom code.
From target site to usable data
Raw web pages are messy and often protected. Therefore, a managed platform can save weeks of engineering time.
