Bright Data Managed Services is a fully managed web data collection service: a dedicated Bright Data team runs the whole data pipeline for you, from source discovery to delivery, under a defined SLA with 24/7 proactive monitoring. Managed Services is also called Managed Data Acquisition. You define the data you need, and the Managed Services team handles source scoping, collector development, anti-bot management, quality validation, enrichment and delivery. Managed Services suits teams that want to focus on their own product without building and maintaining a data collection operation.

​
What does Bright Data manage in Managed Services?

Bright Data scopes every Managed Services engagement as a dedicated project and assembles a team to match it. Most engagements include the following services, and an engagement is not limited to them:
  • Source scoping and discovery. Bright Data experts identify, evaluate and prioritize public web sources across domains, regions and languages. If you have a source list, the team builds from it directly. If you do not, source discovery is included.
  • Custom collector development. Collectors are built for your sources, fields, schemas and collection logic, with no constraints from a pre-existing catalog.
  • Anti-bot and traffic management. Bright Data manages proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, session logic, browser fingerprints and request cadence on a network of 400M+ IPs.
  • Data validation and quality control. Every delivery passes automated completeness checks, deduplication, cross-referencing and content fingerprinting, which detects and discards block pages before delivery.
  • Data enrichment and transformation. Data can be cleaned, normalized, categorized, tagged, translated, summarized or enriched before delivery.
  • 24/7 proactive monitoring. The Managed Services team monitors pipelines continuously and in most cases resolves issues before the next scheduled delivery.
  • Delivery to your stack. Data arrives in JSON, NDJSON, CSV, Excel, Parquet or a custom format, at the destination you choose: API, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, SFTP, webhook or a direct database integration.

​
What data can Managed Services collect?

Managed Services can collect any publicly available web data. Examples from active engagements:
  • AI and machine learning training data. HTML pages, images, video, audio, PDFs and structured text from public web sources, with compliance screening at the domain, page and asset level, deduplication, PII flagging and quality validation.
  • E-commerce and retail. Product pages, pricing, availability, reviews, star ratings, variants, images and seller data across hundreds of domains, with custom product and review schemas.
  • Competitive and brand intelligence. Competitor pricing and assortment in luxury, fashion, CPG and marketplace categories, across markets and currencies, delivered as daily or weekly snapshots.
  • Travel and hospitality. Pricing, availability and competitor data from online travel agencies, airlines and hotel platforms.
  • Financial and alternative data. Public signals from company pages, job listings, executive changes, filings and market data sources, delivered on a recurring schedule.
  • Business information and lead enrichment. Company profiles, firmographics, contact information, hiring signals and technographics, delivered on a recurring schedule to keep CRMs and sales pipelines current.
  • Market intelligence. Signals from media, social, review and content platforms, enriched and categorized for dashboards or models.

​
When should you choose Managed Services?

Choose Managed Services over the self-serve products when one or more of these apply:
  • Your team needs production data without building or operating the collection layer.
  • You need custom sources, custom schemas or delivery configurations that the self-serve catalog does not offer.
  • You need an SLA, a named owner and clear accountability, not only a tool and a support queue.
  • Compliance and legal review are part of your buying process (GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2, ISO 27001). See Bright Data security and compliance.
  • Your internal scraping setup has become a maintenance bottleneck that pulls engineers away from core work.
  • You need data from a large number of sources or from complex, bot-protected targets that need dedicated infrastructure.
  • You want a hybrid setup: Scraper API, Scraper Studio or your own scrapers for the sources you can cover, and Managed Services for the sources, markets or use cases that need more dedicated resources.
