How it works

Robust content feeds,
straight to your cloud.

Build petabyte-scale web data extraction pipelines, optimized for multimodal training data.

1
Find what to extract

Discover content

Use the Web Archive to filter billions of web pages and find fresh URLs for video, audio, images, PDFs, or any other media type, including footage for physical AI and humanoid training.

Discover new sources through rich, filterable metadata
Precisely target by modality, language, or domain

$ Fine-Tuning

Same pipeline.
SFT-ready output.

The same extraction infrastructure that feeds training runs can output JSONL instruction pairs for supervised fine-tuning. Pick your domain source, product reviews, support tickets, financial filings, job descriptions, and receive SFT-formatted data on a schedule.

Domain-specific instruction pairs

E-commerce reviews, support tickets, SEC filings, job descriptions, structured as instruction/input/output for any fine-tuning framework.

JSONL, Parquet, or custom schema

Compatible with OpenAI fine-tuning API, HuggingFace TRL, Axolotl, and LLaMA-Factory out of the box.

200+ domain packages

Browse pre-built packages by vertical. Free samples for every package. Custom sources available for any public site.

$ Why teams switch

The errors that break
every training pipeline.

If you are using yt-dlp, Playwright, or custom scrapers for training data, you know these errors. Each one means lost data, delayed training runs, and engineers debugging instead of building.

HTTP 429. Too Many Requests

Rate limiting breaks yt-dlp extractions. Your pipeline stalls, your training run misses its window.

Bright Data fixes this

Web Unlocker distributes requests across 150M+ residential IPs. Automatic retry with optimal timing. No more 429s.

HTTP 403. Forbidden Access

IP blocking and geographic restrictions kill extraction jobs silently. Half your batch returns empty.

Bright Data fixes this

Requests route through appropriate residential IPs from 195 countries. When a 403 occurs, we switch IPs instantly.

"Sign in to confirm you're not a bot"

Platforms detect automated patterns and demand authentication. Your headless browser gets caught.

Bright Data fixes this

AI-powered browser fingerprinting prevents detection. Your extraction continues without human intervention.

"Video unavailable"

Geographic restrictions or IP blocks make content appear unavailable. You lose access to training data.

Bright Data fixes this

Geographic flexibility and automatic IP rotation ensure access to all publicly available content worldwide.

$ Discovery

Find what to extract
before you extract it.

Discovery tools help you locate the right data across the web, by modality, topic, or content, so you extract only what your model needs.

Web Archive

17.5 PBof indexed web data

Filter billions of web pages by content type, language, domain, and date. Find exact URLs for video, audio, images, and documents before you extract anything.

Filter by modality (video, image, audio, text, PDF)
Language and domain targeting
Historical snapshots for longitudinal training sets
Metadata-rich URL lists ready for extraction

Video Discovery

$0.001per record

Find specific moments in videos before downloading. Search across 2.3B+ videos by topic, visual content, or transcript. Download only the segments you need, save 90%+ on bandwidth.

Search by topic, transcript, or visual content
Segment-level targeting, skip irrelevant footage
Ideal for physical AI, robotics, and embodied agent training
Reduce download costs by targeting specific clips

$ FAQ

Common questions

Yes. Bright Data's Web Unlocker API integrates with yt-dlp to solve common extraction issues, blocks, CAPTCHAs, and rate limiting. The API acts as an intelligent proxy layer that enhances yt-dlp's capabilities. Contact our team to discuss your specific use case and get access.
Web Unlocker automatically resolves HTTP 429 errors by distributing requests across our global IP pool of 150M+ addresses. Unlike standalone yt-dlp which fails on 429 errors, our API automatically retries with different IP addresses and optimal timing.
This error occurs when platforms detect automated patterns. Web Unlocker prevents detection through AI-powered browser fingerprinting that mimics real user behavior. Your extraction continues without human intervention.
Yes. Use SERP API to identify and filter content by language, duration, upload date, format, and other parameters before extraction. Build targeted lists that match your exact training data criteria, then extract with Web Unlocker.
Data can be delivered to S3, GCS, Azure Blob, or via direct download. Formats include MP4, WebM, JPG, PNG, MP3, WAV, JSON, HTML, and Markdown. Custom schemas and format transformations are available on request.
