Bright Data (formerly Luminati) operates the world's largest proxy network with over 72 million residential IPs across every country. It's used for web scraping, ad verification, brand protection, and market research at scale. The platform offers raw proxy access, a scraping browser, and pre-built dataset APIs.
Beyond proxies, Bright Data provides a Web Scraper IDE for building scrapers visually, ready-made datasets (Amazon products, LinkedIn profiles, etc.), and a scraping browser that handles JavaScript rendering and CAPTCHAs automatically. It's enterprise-grade infrastructure for teams that need reliable, large-volume data collection.
