About Bright Data
Bright Data is a web-data platform built around proxies. Its residential network spans 400M+ IPs in 195 countries, alongside datacenter, ISP and mobile proxies, a proxy manager, no-code scraping tools, Web Scraper APIs and pre-collected datasets.
Its appeal is scale and reliability: free precise geo-targeting (country/state/city/ZIP), high success rates and compliance tooling make it a default choice for teams doing serious web scraping, market research, ad verification and price monitoring.
