What is the benefit of the Bright Data tier?

Bright Data handles the most difficult scraping tasks, including residential proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving, which typically block standard automated tools.

Do I need to configure all tools manually?

No, the skill is designed to work with built-in Claude Code tools and the Bright Data MCP, requiring minimal setup to reach full functionality.

Can this skill handle JavaScript-heavy websites?

Yes, Tier 3 uses full browser automation to execute JavaScript, ensuring dynamic content is fully loaded before extraction.

What format is the scraped content returned in?

Regardless of which tier is used to fetch the data, the output is converted and returned as structured markdown for easy reading and AI processing.

How does the progressive escalation work?

The skill starts with a fast WebFetch. If blocked, it escalates to Curl with custom headers, then to Browser Automation for JS-rendering, and finally to Bright Data MCP for advanced bot bypass.
