Bright Data JavaScript SDK

Access web data through a unified Node.js/TypeScript SDK (@brightdata/sdk). One client, several services: web unlocking (scrapeUrl), platform scraping (scrape.<platform>), SERP search (search.google/bing/yandex), AI discovery (discover), datasets, browser automation, and Scraper Studio.

Requires Node.js ≥ 20. Ships ESM + CommonJS with full TypeScript types. The client is exported as bdclient (lowercase — not a typo).

Setup gate (do first)

npm install @brightdata/sdk     # or: pnpm add / yarn add

The client reads the BRIGHTDATA_API_TOKEN env var, or you pass { apiKey }. Get a token at https://brightdata.com/cp/setting/users.
