Not every project needs to build a scraper. Bright Data's Datasets give you easily accessible, structured, and accurate public web data for any use case — either from the marketplace or built custom to your exact requirements.
About
Datasets can be filtered into subsets for a cost-effective, time-saving solution. When a dataset isn't already available in Bright Data's marketplace, a custom dataset can be built to your specifications. Data is available in various formats and delivered via email, API, Webhook, Google Cloud, Amazon S3, or Azure.
