Bright Data API Plans

Integrating Bright Data API

Developers connect via a RESTful POST request to the API endpoint or by routing traffic through a super proxy gateway. Authentication requires either a Bearer token or zone credentials consisting of a customer ID, zone name, and password.

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.brightdata.com/request \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "zone": "web_unlocker1",
    "url": "https://geo.brdtest.com/welcome.txt",
    "format": "raw"
  }'

The proxy gateway uses the address brd.superproxy.io on port 44445. Authentication is handled via the proxy user string which includes the customer ID and zone name, while parameters like country or rendering are passed as username flags.

curl "http://brdtest.com/myip.json" --proxy brd.superproxy.io:44445 --proxy-user brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>:<zone_password>

import requests

url = "https://api.brightdata.com/request"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
}
payload = {
    "zone": "web_unlocker1",
    "url": "https://geo.brdtest.com/welcome.txt",
    "format": "raw",
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
print(response.text)

Bright Data Residential Proxy Plans

Integrating Bright Data Residential Proxy

Bright Data offers a standard proxy port endpoint to interact with the Residential Proxy to make it easier to integrate it with proxy based systems. Simply configure Bright Data’s Residential Proxies as the proxy and it will take care of proxy rotation and provisioning.

curl "http://lumtest.com/myip.json" --proxy brd.superproxy.io:33335 --proxy-user brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>:<zone_password>

import requests
from urllib.parse import urlencode

proxy_params = {
    'api_key': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    'url': 'http://httpbin.org/ip',
    'render_js': True,
}

response = requests.get(
    url='https://proxy.scrapeops.io/v1/',
    params=urlencode(proxy_params),
    timeout=120,
)

print('Body:', response.content)
