Representative actions

  • Trigger Site Crawl

    Tool to trigger an asynchronous site crawl job to extract content across multiple pages or entire domains. Returns a snapshot_id required by BRIGHTDATA_GET_SNAPSHOT_STATUS (poll until complete) and BRIGHTDATA_GET_SNAPSHOT_RESULTS (call only after completion; querying early yields empty or partial data). Use when you need to start a crawl for a given dataset and list of URLs. Large crawls can produce very large payloads — fetch results incrementally.

  • Browse Available Scrapers

    Tool to list all available pre-made scrapers (datasets) from Bright Data's marketplace. Use when you need to browse available data sources for structured scraping.

  • Filter Dataset

    Tool to apply custom filter criteria to a marketplace dataset (BETA). Use after selecting a dataset to generate a filtered snapshot.

  • Get Available Cities

    Tool to get available static network cities for a given country. Use when you need to configure static proxy endpoints after selecting a country.

  • Get Available Countries

    Tool to list available countries and their ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes. Use when you need to configure zones with valid country codes before provisioning proxies.
