Pros

“I really like that Bright Data has a much lower error rate compared to other solutions available.”

Pasha K.

Sr. Growth Marketing Lead

“They have plenty of different but related services on offer too such as the Web unblocker.”

Colin B.

CTIO

“It’s great that they've lowered the barrier for using their service.”

Pasha K.

Sr. Growth Marketing Lead

Pros

“The ease of use, simplicity, and reliability of the service is top notch.”

John S.

Founder

“Ease of use and the API functionality makes it easy for anyone on my team to use and can be quickly added to analysis projects to gather additional data or verify existing.”

Bryan H.

Director of Technical Operations

“Google has been pretty good at blocking programmatic requests even for non-commercial, self-archival purposes and ScraperAPI has been extremely effective and getting around those. While getting the requests routed through ScraperAPI has been much slower than say, routing it through one of the free proxy servers,”

Arun K.

Associate Research Scholar

Cons

“I found the documentation lacking in clear example use cases, which made setting up difficult. Despite using Bright Data to collect e-commerce data, I feel it fails in making the process easier.”

Emiliano G.

Founder

“This level of mismanagement and lack of communication is completely unacceptable. If this is how they handle basic coordination, I can’t imagine how they deal with more important matters.”

Kaufast S.

Founder

“The scraping browser API, while promising in theory, does not perform well in practice.”

Emiliano G.

Founder

Cons

“The next day, a large portion of your scrape requests will timeout with no explanation.”
