Cancel SnapshotCancel Snapshots a running or paused Web Scraper snapshot.
Cancel Studio JobPermanently stops a Scraper Studio job. The job moves to canceled and cannot be resumed.
Crawl (Studio)Runs a synchronous real-time Scraper Studio scrape, holding the request open until it finishes or the timeout is reached.
Delete ZonePermanently removes a Bright Data zone. Requires Admin or Ops role.
Deliver Marketplace SnapshotShips a completed Marketplace Dataset API snapshot to a webhook, S3, GCS, Azure, Ali OSS, or other supported destination.
Deliver SnapshotShips a completed Web Scraper snapshot to a webhook, S3, GCS, Azure, SFTP, or Snowflake destination.
Filter Marketplace DatasetRuns an async filter job (snapshot-based) against any of Bright Data's 250+ Marketplace datasets and returns a snapshot_id to download once the job completes. Same filter/operator syntax as Search.
Make an API CallPerforms an arbitrary authorized API call to the Bright Data API.
Pause SnapshotPause Snapshots a running or paused Web Scraper snapshot.
Pause Studio JobTemporarily stops a running Scraper Studio job. The job moves to paused and can be resumed later.
Rerun SnapshotReruns a Web Scraper snapshot, returning a new snapshot ID.
Rerun Studio JobStarts a new run from an existing Scraper Studio job, either in full or failed-inputs-only, returning a new collection ID.
Resume SnapshotResumes a paused Web Scraper snapshot.
Scrape URL (Sync)Runs a real-time synchronous scrape for a supported dataset and returns records inline, or falls through to a pending snapshot if the 60-second vendor timeout is hit.
Send SERP SearchFetches structured Google/Bing/Yandex/DuckDuckGo search results through Bright Data's SERP API.
Send Web RequestFetches a URL through Bright Data's Web Unlocker, bypassing anti-bot protection and CAPTCHAs.
Trigger Collection (Async)Starts an asynchronous Web Scraper collection job and returns a snapshot ID to monitor and download later.
Trigger Studio Scraper (Batch)Starts an asynchronous batch collection for a Scraper Studio scraper and returns a collection ID.
Trigger Studio Scraper (Real-time)Starts an asynchronous real-time Scraper Studio scrape and returns a response ID to fetch the result later.
Update View Delivery SettingsReplaces the delivery destination, credentials, filename template and batch/packaging options for a single Marketplace dataset view.

How to integrate Bright Data in automation workflow?

3 simple steps to make your Bright Data connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.

STEP 1

Select Bright Data in workflow

Pick Bright Data app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.

STEP 2

Connect Bright Data

When prompted, authorize access to Bright Data in WEXTL once. Bright Data credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].

WEXTL wants to integrate with your Bright Data account. Approve?

STEP 3

Build a workflow

Build your workflow with Bright Data yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Bright Data to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

Bright Data

How Bright Data connects and integrates with WEXTL

Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Bright Data app is called in workflows. That allows your developer tools automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that Bright Data supports.

Full Bright Data API documentation

The following table illustrates what fields Bright Data integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

Demonstration of Bright Data connection step inside WEXTL Workflow Builder [4].

Field	Type	Help
API KeyRequired	password	Your API key. Generate one at https://brightdata.com/cp/setting/users (Account Settings → Add API key). Shown only once at creation — save it in a secure store.

Connect Bright Data to popular apps on WEXTL

Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Bright Data below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Bright Data. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.

Example automation with Bright Data integration

Select Watch Collection Completion trigger from Bright Data - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Bright Data, workflow will start [7] from Watch Collection Completion node.

Search for Trigger Collection (Async), connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Collection Completion and Trigger Collection (Async), so only important data pass from Watch Collection Completion to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Bright Data automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].

Bright Data on WEXTL has 51 modules for creating developer tools automations. Explore Bright Data documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about automating Bright Data in your workflows.

Bright Data has 1 trigger, including "Watch Collection Completion". Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.

Integration has 50 actions, including "Download Marketplace Snapshot", "Download Snapshot", and "Get Customer Balance", and more. Refer to our Bright Data Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.

No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].

Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.

The Bright Data integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Bright Data official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.

Absolutely. Where Bright Data provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever Bright Data or any other service sends event to webhook URL.

WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for Bright Data inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with Bright Data modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
