# Bright Data Tools

This set of tools integrates Bright Data services for web extraction.

## Installation

```shell
uv add crewai-tools requests aiohttp
```

## Environment Variables

- `BRIGHT_DATA_API_KEY` (required)
- `BRIGHT_DATA_ZONE` (for SERP/Web Unlocker)

Create credentials at https://brightdata.com/ (sign up, then create an API token and zone). 
See their docs: https://developers.brightdata.com/

## Included Tools

- `BrightDataSearchTool`: SERP search (Google/Bing/Yandex) with geo/language/device options.
- `BrightDataWebUnlockerTool`: Scrape pages with anti-bot bypass and rendering.
- `BrightDataDatasetTool`: Run Dataset API jobs and fetch results.

## Examples

### SERP Search

```python Code
from crewai_tools import BrightDataSearchTool

tool = BrightDataSearchTool(
    query="CrewAI", 
    country="us",
)

print(tool.run())
```

### Web Unlocker

```python Code
from crewai_tools import BrightDataWebUnlockerTool

tool = BrightDataWebUnlockerTool(
    url="https://example.com", 
    format="markdown",
)

print(tool.run(url="https://example.com"))
```

### Dataset API

```python Code
from crewai_tools import BrightDataDatasetTool

tool = BrightDataDatasetTool(
    dataset_type="ecommerce", 
    url="https://example.com/product",
)

print(tool.run())
```

## Troubleshooting

- 401/403: verify `BRIGHT_DATA_API_KEY` and `BRIGHT_DATA_ZONE`.
- Empty/blocked content: enable rendering or try a different zone.

## Example

```python Code
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import BrightDataSearchTool

tool = BrightDataSearchTool(
    query="CrewAI", 
    country="us",
)

agent = Agent(
    role="Web Researcher",
    goal="Search with Bright Data",
    backstory="Finds reliable results",
    tools=[tool],
    verbose=True,
)

task = Task(
    description="Search for CrewAI and summarize top results",
    expected_output="Short summary with links",
    agent=agent,
)

crew = Crew(
    agents=[agent], 
    tasks=[task],
    verbose=True,
)

result = crew.kickoff()
```
