Bright Data

Bright Data Web Unlocker handles proxies, fingerprints and challenges on Bright Data’s network.

• Needs a Web Unlocker zone as well as a key.
• Bright Data doesn’t report per-request cost, so cost_usd is unknown and it can’t run under a max_cost_usd cap.
• Counts as working only after a live run with a real key.

Set up

Set FRANKENSURF_BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY and FRANKENSURF_BRIGHTDATA_ZONE.

Use it

Once its key is set, it joins any read that allows paid tools. To use it on its own:

Python

page = await web.read(
    "https://example.com/products/2231",
    provider="brightdata_unlocker",
    policy_overrides={"allow_paid_fallbacks": True},
)

MCP

{ "tool": "read", "arguments": { "url": "https://example.com/products/2231", "provider": "brightdata_unlocker", "acquisition_policy": { "allow_paid_fallbacks": true } } }
