Bright Data

Web Unlocker + Scraper API T1 Scraping & Crawling /brightdata

Bright Data operates the world’s largest proxy and web-data infrastructure, and its Web Unlocker is the benchmark for getting past the toughest anti-bot systems — reliably returning clean pages from sites that defeat most tools. Beyond raw unblocking it offers a library of pre-built structured scrapers for hundreds of popular domains, delivered asynchronously at scale. Industry-leading success rates combined with a serious compliance posture (ISO, SOC 2 and GDPR) make it the default for enterprises running mission-critical data collection.

Call Bright Data through the gateway

Same paths, parameters and responses as Bright Data's native API — auxiliar injects the upstream key server-side and debits the provider's metered cost from your credits.

curl https://api.auxiliar.ai/brightdata/<native-path> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUXILIAR_API_KEY"

Exact endpoints and parameters: docs.auxiliar.ai/brightdata. An empty balance returns HTTP 402 — no silent degradation; see how billing behaves.

Choose if

You face the hardest anti-bot targets and want the strongest unblocker + compliance posture.
