What it is

Bright Data Browser API runs browser-based data collection workflows in fully managed cloud browsers. It renders complete pages, supports user-like interactions and handles unblocking for JavaScript-heavy sites, dynamic content and multi-step workflows. Puppeteer, Playwright and Selenium can connect through a single endpoint change. Bright Data says the service manages CAPTCHA solving, browser fingerprinting, automatic retries, headers, cookies and JavaScript rendering. Cloud browsers auto-scale and include built-in proxy rotation plus real-time Chrome DevTools monitoring. Worldwide geographic and ASN targeting are listed. The API executes in the cloud and has no self-hosted option. The Free Tier costs nothing and includes 5K credits and 1GB per month with no credit card required. Pay as you go costs $8 a month, billed $8 /GB. Scale costs $499 a month with 71 GB and unlimited concurrent browsers. Enterprise pricing is custom. Expert support covers the first three plans; Enterprise adds priority support and a premium SLA.
