Bright DataDIY tools & proxies

You get the tools, then do the work

  • ✕ You build & run the scrapers yourself
  • ✕ You manage proxy pools, retries & unblocking
  • ✕ You parse & clean raw HTML into usable data
  • ✕ Usage-based bills that scale with every request
  • ✕ Your engineers own the upkeep, forever
The core difference

Bright Data sells infrastructure. TagX delivers outcomes.

Bright Data is a toolbox, proxies, scraper APIs and browsers you operate yourself. That still leaves your engineers building pipelines, fixing breakages and cleaning messy output. TagX is data-as-a-service: we run the entire pipeline and hand you the finished, structured dataset.

01

You brief, we scope

Share the sources, fields, volume and refresh cadence you need. We map it to a delivery plan, no scraping logic for you to design.

02

We collect & maintain

Our team handles crawling, proxy rotation, anti-bot handling, parsing and breakage fixes. When a site changes, that's our problem, not yours.

03

We QA & structure

Every record is validated, de-duplicated and normalized to your schema. You receive analysis-ready data, not raw HTML to wrangle.

04

You receive the data

Delivered on your schedule as JSON, CSV, Parquet, a REST API or straight into S3, BigQuery or Snowflake. Plug it in and build.

FAQ's

Bright Data is a tools-and-infrastructure provider: it gives you proxies, scraper APIs and browsers that your team configures, runs and maintains. TagX is a Data-as-a-Service provider: you tell us what web data you need and we deliver the finished, cleaned, structured dataset. With TagX there are no scrapers to build, no proxies to manage and no parsing or maintenance on your side.

Yes. Because TagX delivers ready-to-use data rather than tools, you do not need an in-house scraping or data-engineering team to get value. You brief us on the sources and fields you need, and we handle collection, anti-bot handling, cleaning, QA and delivery. This makes TagX a strong fit for product, analytics, research and business teams that want data without operating infrastructure.

TagX delivers data in whatever format fits your workflow: JSON, CSV, Parquet, a hosted REST API, or pushed directly into cloud destinations such as Amazon S3, Google BigQuery or Snowflake. Data is delivered on the cadence you choose, from one-time datasets to recurring daily, hourly or near real-time feeds.

Bright Data typically uses usage-based pricing, so costs scale with requests, bandwidth and proxy usage and can be hard to predict. TagX uses outcome-based pricing per dataset, feed or project, so you pay for the data you receive rather than the volume of underlying requests, retries and infrastructure. Most teams find this far more predictable.

Yes. Custom and niche sources are part of the managed service. If a site is not already covered, our team builds and maintains the collection logic for it as part of your engagement, including the parsing and quality checks needed to deliver clean, structured records.

TagX does. Site layout changes, new anti-bot defenses and shifting volumes are our responsibility, not yours. Our team monitors pipelines, fixes breakages and keeps your data flowing to an agreed SLA, so your engineers never have to maintain scraping code.

Getting started is fast. Share your target sources, the fields you need and your preferred delivery format, and TagX will return a free data sample and a clear quote, often within a few business days. Once approved, recurring feeds are set up and delivered on your chosen schedule.
