Bright Data Connector

Bright Data provides award-winning proxy networks, AI-powered web scrapers, and business-ready datasets for download. Welcome to the internet’s most trusted web data platform.

Prerequisites

An active Bright Data subscription is required.

Please contact support to:

1. Whitelist the domain fingerprint.scrapoxy.io ;
2. Adjust the rate limit for fingerprint.scrapoxy.io if you plan to use more than 10 proxies simultaneously.

The rate limit is calculated as follows:

Ratelimit = Number of simultaneaous proxies x 2800 requests per day

For example, 100 proxies requires 280,000 requests per day.

Additionally, set the Proxies Timeout to 30 seconds (see Connector configuration below).
