Bright Data — Discover API

Discover is intent-ranked semantic web search. You give it a query plus an intent, and it returns results scored by AI relevance — optionally with the full parsed page content. It is the right primitive when result quality/relevance matters more than raw keyword rank, and the building block for retrieval (RAG), research, and knowledge-base pipelines.

Discover vs. the neighbors:

• Keyword "what ranks for X" SERP → use the search skill (bdata search).
• Structured data from a known platform (Amazon/LinkedIn/…) → use data-feeds.
• A whole research brief or a RAG/search pipeline on top of Discover → use live-research or rag-pipeline (both call this API).

How it works (async: trigger → poll)

1. Trigger a job → you get a task_id.
2. Poll with the task_id until status is "done" (intermediate: "processing").
3. Read results[].
