An excellent way to obtain data for research
What do you like best about the product?
I used one of their prepared datasets through their academic collaboration program (Bright Initiative).
It was easy to find the dataset in their catalog, understand its format, figure out how to query for the right cut of the data that I needed, and finally to download it.
Overall, it's an excellent way to obtain publicly available data, without having to worry about crawling, formatting, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really major, but it's important to realize that it's better to download a larger dataset than several smaller ones, as the pricing isn't entirely linear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use data for my research, and it is difficult to collect these data by myself.
We use BD in our thetruestory.news aggregator to extract content from some crucial media outlets
What do you like best about the product?
It works well and it is easy to start using it
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features were too complicated to understand if they were present or not.
The company's staff was very helpful, so maybe it was my fault

We were able to parse some important news outlets that were otherwise not accessible
A great product with excellent support
What do you like best about the product?
We've written many spiders, but after using BD for the past year on a few sites, we will choose them whenever it is possible to extract the data we need using their service.
We've run into a variety of issues over that year and they have all been addressed - most of them promptly. Enhancements to the extracted data or to the scope of data to be extracted have also been implemented. The service is at least as reliable as the spiders we've built ourselves and using BD is both faster and more cost efficient.

What do you dislike about the product?
On my most recent problem reports, the fixes took about 9 days, which is a little longer than we'd like. In this case we were able to work around it with our customer, but if we could keep that down to a few days in the future, it would cause us less discomfort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use BD to extract our customers data from their accounts on various ecommerce sites (eBay, Etsy, etc).
Managed Scraper Infrastructure that Just WORK!
What do you like best about the product?
Bright Data provides APIs and infrastructure that simplify building modern webscrapers. They've already thought through proxys, CAPTCHAs, browser fingerprinting... all of the things that are time consuming and a major hassle to build and maintain yourself. Their team is wonderful to work with, super responsive, and helped us get our code adapted to their API in short order. In a matter of hours, we were able to deploy a dramatically improved workflow and data collection process, all without having to build and maintain dozens of different packages or plugins!
What do you dislike about the product?
We have yet to encounter a downside to working with Bright Data. It has far surpassed our expectations. The only regret our team has is waiting so long to give their platform a try!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We rely on publicly available US government data to provide insights and analysis on immigration court for asylum seekers across the country. This data changes regularly and requires individual scrapes for each case we are tracking. Bright Data helps automate the scraping process by providing all of the needed infrastructure for modern web scraping in a single API.

Reliable Partnership and Responsive Support for Research-Driven Web Scraping on Human trafficking
What do you like best about the product?
In the first phase of my research, I used Bright Data’s services to scrape data from the AdultWork website in the United Kingdom. The extracted data played a critical role in analyzing trafficking-related indicators and the illicit massage industry. What stood out to me the most was the prompt delivery and the consistently responsive support from the Bright Data team.
As I move into the next phase of my research—I will be re-visiting the dataset for training classification models using this data. Currently, working with Bright Data to customize a scraper for a related study. We, at Bar Ilan University deeply value their work and look forward to continuing this partnership in future projects. I believe this partnership reinforces my research in time and efficiency to target social, policy and technological contributions to the data-driven methodologies in combating the crime of human trafficking.
