brightdata-plugin

Onboard an agent to Bright Data. Use when a coding agent first encounters Bright Data — for live web work (search, scrape, structured data), for wiring Bright Data into product code, for installing the agent skill bundle, or for getting an API key. One install command sets up the CLI, agent skills, and authentication. Routes the reader to the right path: live tools, app integration, MCP, auth-only, or direct REST without any install.

Replicate the visual style of any website and apply it to your existing codebase. Use this skill whenever the user wants to match a site's design, mirror a UI aesthetic, make their app look like another site, or replicate a specific visual style from a URL. Trigger on phrases like 'make it look like', 'match the design of', 'copy the style from', 'I want my app to look like X', 'mirror this design', 'inspired by [url]', or any time the user points at a website and says they want their frontend to match it.

Web data extraction and discovery using the Bright Data Python SDK. Use when user asks to "scrape", "get data from", "extract", "search for", or "find" information from websites. Also use when user mentions specific platforms like Amazon, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Pinterest, Zillow, Crunchbase, or DigiKey, or asks for "bulk data", "historical data", or "dataset". Covers scraping, searching, datasets, and browser automation.

Scrape web content as clean markdown/HTML/JSON via the Bright Data CLI (`bdata scrape`). Use when the user wants to fetch a page, extract content from a list of URLs, or crawl paginated listings. Hands off to `data-feeds` for supported platforms (Amazon, LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, etc.) and to `search` when URLs must be discovered first. Requires the Bright Data CLI; proactively guides install + login if missing.

Debug Bright Data Scraping Browser sessions using the Browser Sessions API. Use this skill when the user encounters a Bright Data browser session error, puppeteer stack trace, failed scraper run, or asks about session bandwidth, duration, captchas, or connection issues. Also use when a Bright Data scraper produces unexpected results such as empty data, 0 items found, missing products, or fewer results than expected — session data can reveal whether the issue is network/proxy-side (blocks, captchas, redirects, timeouts) or client-side (selectors, extraction logic). Triggers on phrases like 'why did my session fail', 'debug my bright data session', 'check my scraping browser sessions', 'how much bandwidth did my scraper use', 'got 0 results', 'found 0', 'scraper returned empty', 'scraper not working', 'script didn't work', or when a Bright Data error code or brd.superproxy.io stack trace appears in the conversation. Requires BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY environment variable.

Build production-ready Bright Data integrations with best practices baked in. Reference documentation for developers using coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to implement web scraping, search, browser automation, and structured data extraction. Covers Web Unlocker API, SERP API, Web Scraper API, and Browser API (Scraping Browser).

Guide for using the Bright Data CLI (`brightdata` / `bdata`) to scrape websites, search the web, extract structured data from 40+ platforms, manage proxy zones, and check account budget. Use this skill whenever the user wants to scrape a URL, search Google/Bing/Yandex, extract data from Amazon/LinkedIn/Instagram/TikTok/YouTube/Reddit or any other platform, check their Bright Data balance or zones, or do anything involving web data collection from the terminal. Also trigger when the user mentions brightdata, bdata, web scraping CLI, SERP API, or wants to install Bright Data skills into their coding agent.

Real-time competitive intelligence and market research using Bright Data's web scraping infrastructure. Analyzes competitors' pricing, features, reviews, hiring patterns, content strategy, and market positioning with live web data. Use this skill when the user wants to analyze competitors, compare products, monitor pricing changes, track market trends, research a market landscape, build competitive battlecards, find positioning opportunities, or conduct any form of competitive or market research. Also use when the user mentions competitor analysis, market intelligence, competitive landscape, win/loss analysis, or wants to understand what competitors are doing.

Extract structured data from 40+ supported platforms (Amazon, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, and more) via the Bright Data CLI (`bdata pipelines`). Use when the user wants clean JSON from a known platform URL rather than raw HTML. Hands off to `scrape` for unsupported URLs and to `search` when target URLs must be discovered first. Requires the Bright Data CLI; proactively guides install + login if missing.

Build production-ready web scrapers for any website using Bright Data infrastructure. Guides you through site analysis, API selection, selector extraction, pagination handling, and complete scraper implementation. Use this skill whenever the user wants to build a scraper, create a crawler, extract data from a website, scrape product pages, handle pagination, build a data pipeline from a web source, or automate data collection from any site — even if they don't explicitly say 'scraper'. Triggers on phrases like 'build a scraper for', 'scrape data from', 'extract products from', 'crawl pages on', 'get data from [website]', or 'I need to pull data from'.

Search the web via the Bright Data CLI — `bdata search` for Google/Bing/Yandex SERP, `bdata discover` for intent-ranked semantic results. Use when the user wants SERP results, needs URLs to feed into scraping, or wants semantic web discovery with optional page content. Hands off to `scrape` once target URLs are chosen, and to `data-feeds` when the user wants structured data from a known platform. Requires the Bright Data CLI; proactively guides install + login if missing.

When the user wants to audit, review, or diagnose SEO issues on their site. Uses live web data via the Bright Data CLI for accurate detection of JS-injected schema, hreflang, canonicals, and live SERP-based ranking checks. Also use when the user mentions "SEO audit," "technical SEO," "why am I not ranking," "SEO issues," "on-page SEO," "meta tags review," "SEO health check," "my traffic dropped," "lost rankings," "not showing up in Google," "site isn't ranking," "Google update hit me," "page speed," "core web vitals," "crawl errors," or "indexing issues." Use this even if the user just says something vague like "my SEO is bad" or "help with SEO" — start with an audit. For building pages at scale to target keywords, see programmatic-seo.
