What Bright Data Browser API is
Bright Data Browser API runs data-collection workflows in managed cloud browsers, rendering pages and supporting user-like interactions for dynamic or JavaScript-heavy sites. It is designed for multi-step browsing and projects that need scalable browser or proxy infrastructure. The API supports Puppeteer, Playwright, and Selenium through a single endpoint change. It manages tasks including CAPTCHA solving, fingerprinting, retries, headers, cookies, and JavaScript rendering, while cloud browsers provide automatic scaling, proxy rotation, and real-time Chrome DevTools monitoring. Worldwide geographic and ASN targeting are listed. Execution takes place in the cloud; there is no self-hosted option. The free tier is listed as free, with 5K credits and 1GB included per month. Pay as you go costs $8 a month, billed $8 /GB, with no monthly commitment. Scale costs $499 a month and includes 71 GB and unlimited concurrent browsers. Expert support is included on free, pay-as-you-go, and Scale plans; Enterprise has custom pricing and includes priority support and a premium SLA. Bright Data lists TLS 1.3 traffic encryption, with TLS 1.2 as the minimum, and AES-256 or better encryption for data at rest.
