Bright Data — Data Feeds (Pipelines)

Extract structured data from supported platforms via bdata pipelines. One call, clean JSON, no scraping logic. For unsupported URLs, hand off to scrape. To find target URLs first, hand off to search.

Setup gate (run first)

if ! command -v bdata >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    echo "bdata CLI not installed — see bright-data-best-practices/references/cli-setup.md"
elif ! bdata zones >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    echo "bdata not authenticated — run: bdata login  (or: bdata login --device for SSH)"
fi

Halt and route to skills/bright-data-best-practices/references/cli-setup.md if either check fails.
