Bright Data Hello World

Overview

Scrape a real webpage through Bright Data's Web Unlocker proxy. Web Unlocker handles CAPTCHAs, fingerprinting, and retries automatically — you send a normal HTTP request through the proxy endpoint at brd.superproxy.io:33335.

Prerequisites

• Completed brightdata-install-auth setup
• Web Unlocker zone active in Bright Data control panel
• brd-ca.crt SSL certificate downloaded

Instructions

Step 1: Scrape via Web Unlocker Proxy (Node.js)

// hello-brightdata.ts
import axios from 'axios';
import https from 'https';
import 'dotenv/config';

const { BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID, BRIGHTDATA_ZONE, BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD } = process.env;

const proxy = {
  host: 'brd.superproxy.io',
  port: 33335,
  auth: {
    username: `brd-customer-${BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID}-zone-${BRIGHTDATA_ZONE}`,
    password: BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD!,
  },
};

async function scrape(url: string) {
  const response = await axios.get(url, {
    proxy,
    httpsAgent: new https.Agent({ rejectUnauthorized:  }),
    : ,
  });
  .();
  .();
  .(response..(, ));
   response.;
}

().(.);
