What these Bright Data products are
This page covers two related Bright Data services. Web Unlocker returns page content while handling proxy rotation, browser rendering, retries, and blocking countermeasures. Web Scraper API provides structured records for supported websites and data targets. ScraperAPI, ScrapingBee, and ZenRows are the nearest named comparisons for the unlocker-style request workflow. The important Bright Data distinction is that Web Unlocker and Web Scraper API are separate products with separate units: one delivers successful requests, while the other delivers records.

How billing works
For Web Unlocker, one unit is one successful request. JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHA handling, residential routing, proxy rotation, and internal retries are included rather than added as separate public multipliers. For Web Scraper API, one unit is one delivered record, so a job that returns many records consumes more units than a single-record job. The most common buying mistake is to combine the two products’ allowances or to compare their unit rates directly. A request and a delivered record describe different outputs and should be modeled separately.

What Bright Data does not publish here
- An annual self-serve rate for either product on the reviewed pricing pages. Sources reviewed: Web Unlocker pricing and Web Scraper API pricing, retrieved 2026-07-26.
- A complete Web Scraper API rule for rejected, duplicate, empty, or partially populated records on the pricing page. Source reviewed: Web Scraper API pricing, retrieved 2026-07-26.
- Numeric plan-level concurrency limits, although the pages advertise unlimited concurrency. Sources reviewed: Web Unlocker pricing and Web Scraper API pricing, retrieved 2026-07-26.
- One shared allowance or exchange rule between Web Unlocker requests and Web Scraper API records. Sources reviewed: Web Unlocker pricing and Web Scraper API pricing, retrieved 2026-07-26.
Who these products suit
Web Unlocker suits teams that want page retrieval with blocking countermeasures folded into a successful-request unit. Web Scraper API suits teams that want structured records from supported targets without maintaining parsers. They are less suitable as one interchangeable pool for a mixed workload, because their meters and outputs differ. A buyer who needs unsupported custom schemas, a fixed definition of every rejected record, or one consolidated unit should settle those details before committing.
