How to Integrate Bright Data With Zapier
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
- A valid Bright Data API Key
- An active Zapier account
- Access to the Bright Data Zapier app
- A clear understanding of what data you want to scrape and where it should be sent
Create a Zap
Log in to your Zapier account, navigate to the Zaps section, and click Create Zap to start building your automation workflow.
Set Up a Trigger
Choose a trigger app and event that fits your use case. Common examples include:
- Schedule by Zapier — run a scraper hourly, daily, or weekly
- New Row in Google Sheets — trigger scraping when new input data is added
- Webhooks or Form Submissions — trigger scrapers dynamically using real-time inputs
Add Bright Data as an Action
In the Action step, search for and select Bright Data. You will then be prompted to choose one of the available scraping or Unlocker actions.
Select an Action Event
Choose the Bright Data action that matches your target platform.
For example:
