## Why Standard Infrastructure Falls Short

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Standard Infrastructure" icon="xmark">
    60%+ failure rate on protected sites due to anti-bot measures and rate limits

    CAPTCHA challenges stop agents completely

    Rate limiting blocks real-time scaling

    Frequent timeouts under high concurrency

    No SLA for business-critical applications
  </Card>

  <Card title="Bright Data Infrastructure" icon="check">
    99.3%+ success rate with automated CAPTCHA solving and unblocking

    Real-time data access at global scale

    1,000+ concurrent jobs with 99.99% uptime

    Sub-second response times, even under peak load

    Global proxy network with automated management
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Scalability and Performance

Scale from simple search-and-extract workflows (thousands of leads simultaneously) to complex multi-step research operations (browser automation, session management, historical data access).

With 99.99% uptime and sub-second response times, you can focus on building your AI agents while we handle the web access complexity.

## Examples

### Simple Search and Extract

Extract search results for competitive intelligence:

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript Node.js theme={null}
  const response = await fetch('https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3/trigger?dataset_id=YOUR_DATASET_ID', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify([{
      url: 'https://www.google.com/search',
      keyword: 'competitor analysis',
      country: 'US'
    }])
  });
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  response = requests.post(
    'https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3/trigger?dataset_id=YOUR_DATASET_ID',
    headers={
      'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json=[{
      'url': 'https://www.google.com/search',
      'keyword': 'competitor analysis',
      'country': 'US'
    }]
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### How to automate browser interactions

Automate complex interactions with JavaScript-heavy sites:

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript Node.js theme={null}
  const response = await fetch('https://api.brightdata.com/browser_api/v1/run', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      url: 'https://example.com',
      browser: {
        headless: false,
        viewport: { width: 1920, height: 1080 }
      },
      actions: [
        { type: 'click', selector: '#button' },
        { type: 'wait', timeout: 2000 },
        { type: 'extract', selector: '.content' }
      ]
    })
  });
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  response = requests.post(
    'https://api.brightdata.com/browser_api/v1/run',
    headers={
      'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={
      'url': 'https://example.com',
      'browser': {
        'headless': False,
        'viewport': {'width': 1920, 'height': 1080}
      },
      'actions': [
        {'type': 'click', 'selector': '#button'},
        {'type': 'wait', 'timeout': 2000},
        {'type': 'extract', 'selector': '.content'}
      ]
    }
  )
  ```
