brightdata-cli

The Bright Data CLI ( brightdata or bdata ) gives you full access to Bright Data's web data platform from the terminal. It handles authentication, proxy zones, anti-bot bypass, CAPTCHA solving, and JavaScript rendering automatically — the user just needs to log in once.

SkillJury keeps community verdicts, source metadata, and external repository signals in separate lanes so ranking data never pretends to be a review.

About this skill
The Bright Data CLI ( brightdata or bdata ) gives you full access to Bright Data's web data platform from the terminal. It handles authentication, proxy zones, anti-bot bypass, CAPTCHA solving, and JavaScript rendering automatically — the user just needs to log in once. If the CLI is not installed yet, guide the user: macOS / Linux: Windows or manual install (any platform): Without installing (one-off usage): Requires Node.js >= 20. After install, both brightdata and bdata (shorthand) are available. Before anything else, check if the user is authenticated. If they haven't logged in yet, guide them through the one-time setup: This single command: After login, every subsequent command works without any manual intervention. For headless/SSH environments where no browser is available: For direct API key authentication (non-interactive): To verify setup is complete, run: Read references/commands.md for the full command reference with all flags, options, and examples for every command. Read references/pipelines.md for the complete list of 40+ pipeline types (Amazon, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, and more) with their specific parameters. bdata is the shorthand for brightdata .
