Utilize Bright Data's Scraping Browser with Playwright or Puppeteer to reliably scrape structured data from JavaScript-rendered pages, Single Page Applications (SPAs), and anti-bot-protected sites. This tool manages proxy routing, CAPTCHA solving, and fingerprint management, ensuring robust data collection from complex web environments.

This skill provides comprehensive methods and code examples for optimizing spending on Bright Data services. It covers product selection (Proxy vs. API), implementing caching strategies, bulk usage monitoring, and setting budget alerts, ensuring cost efficiency in large-scale web scraping projects.

A comprehensive guide and setup for establishing a fast, reproducible local development loop for web scraping projects using Bright Data. It includes configuring proxy modules, implementing response caching to save credits, and setting up mocked test suites (using Vitest) for robust, isolated testing without requiring live proxy access or consuming resources.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on optimizing operational costs on the Apify platform. It covers analyzing Compute Units (CU) usage, managing proxy consumption (residential vs. datacenter), and optimizing scraping logic (memory, concurrency) to ensure efficient and cost-effective web scraping workflows.

This comprehensive guide covers the full lifecycle of Apify Actors, enabling deployment from local environments to production platforms. Learn to trigger scraping tasks via APIs (e.g., Next.js routes), consume structured data, and handle results asynchronously using webhooks in frameworks like Express.js. Ideal for building robust, data-driven web services and automating data pipelines.

This guide details how to configure and implement Apify webhooks for robust, event-driven data pipelines. Learn to receive real-time notifications when Actor runs start, succeed, fail, or time out. By supporting both persistent (all runs) and ad-hoc (single run) webhooks, this pattern is ideal for building highly reliable and scalable production scraping integrations.

This workflow provides a complete, end-to-end solution for building and deploying robust web scrapers using Crawlee on the Apify platform. It guides users through every stage: defining input schemas, setting up the Actor with a sophisticated router pattern, extracting structured data (e.g., product details), saving results to datasets, and managing the full lifecycle from local testing to cloud deployment via apify-cli.

A comprehensive guide to using the Apify Client SDK. Learn the fundamental pattern of executing remote web scraping Actors (like content crawling or general scraping), managing asynchronous run states, and retrieving structured data from resulting datasets and key-value stores. Essential for integrating powerful web scraping capabilities into applications.

This comprehensive guide details how to optimize Apify Actors for maximum efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and reliability. Learn to select the appropriate crawler (e.g., Cheerio, Playwright), tune concurrency limits, manage memory consumption, and implement robust proxy rotation strategies for diverse web scraping workloads, ensuring your scraping tasks are fast and stable.

This guide details setting up continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for web scraping projects. It integrates Bright Data proxy testing into GitHub Actions, allowing developers to run both mocked unit tests (for quick checks) and live integration tests (verifying actual proxy connectivity) automatically upon code push or pull request.

This skill provides comprehensive access to Bright Data's SERP API and Web Scraper API. It allows users to collect structured search engine results (Google, Bing, Yahoo) synchronously, or trigger large-scale, asynchronous data collections with webhooks. Ideal for market research, SEO analysis, and large-scale data scraping projects.

This comprehensive guide demonstrates how to scrape live webpages using Bright Data's Web Unlocker proxy. It details how to bypass advanced anti-scraping mechanisms, such as CAPTCHAs and fingerprinting, automatically. Users are provided with full code examples in both Node.js and Python, showing methods for scraping via the proxy endpoint and through the dedicated REST API. Ideal for starting new scraping projects or integrating Bright Data into existing workflows.
