Data collection process
To discover an entire list of a products within a category or the entire website, you’ll need to run a discovery phase. Use ready made functions for the site search and clicking the categories menu, such as:
- Data extraction from lazy loading search (load_more(), capture_graphql())
- Pagination functions for product discovery
- Support pushing new pages to the queue for parallel scraping by using rerun_stage() or next_stage()
Build a scraper for any page, using fixed URLs, or dynamic URLs using an API or straight from the discovery phase. Leverage the following functions to build a web scraper faster:
- HTML parsing (in cheerio)
- Capture browser network calls
- Prebuilt tools for GraphQL APIs
- Scrape the website JSON APIs
A crucial step ensuring you’ll receive structured and complete data
- Define the schema of how you want to receive the data
- Custom validation code to show that the data is in the right format
- Data can include JSON, media files, and browser screenshots
Deliver the data via all the popular storage destinations:
- API
- Amazon S3
- Webhook
- Microsoft Azure

Why is it important to have an unblocking solution when web scraping?
Having an unblocking solution when scraping is important because many websites have anti-scraping measures that block the scraper’s IP address or require CAPTCHA solving. The unblocking solution implemented within Bright Data’s Web Scraper IDE is designed to bypass these obstacles and continue gathering data without interruption.
What kind of data can I scrape?
