Building on this foundation, Bright Data’s platform provides academics and researchers with automated dataset scraping solutions, enabling them to overcome the challenges of limited access to reliable and accurate data, even for projects with constrained budgets. As the team explains, manual data gathering is both time-consuming and costly, whereas automated data extraction frees up researchers to focus on analysis and other high-value tasks.

The data collection services are powered by Bright Data’s proxy networks. With over 72 million IPs from real peer devices across 195 countries as well as data centre, ISP, and mobile proxies, users are assured of faster connections to handle large data extraction projects without fear of being blocked.

To further support academic projects, the team provides guidance on setting up proxies for specialised, region-specific studies and offers recommendations for best practices for the management of large academic datasets. Members also benefit from API integrations with popular academic research tools such as MATLAB and R.

All data is swiftly and securely transferred using high-end encryption technology. Data can be delivered via Snowflake, Amazon S3 bucket, Azure, Google Cloud, and SFTP and in multiple file formats including JSON, NDJSON, JSON Lines, CSV, and Parquet.

Complementing their technical capabilities, Bright Data offers a robust dataset marketplace featuring pre-collected data from over 100 domains. Users can also deploy customised dataset retrieval and schedule data delivery to support their preferred workflows, maximising efficiency as a result.

“Bright Data offers diverse datasets spanning industries such as AI and LLMs, e-commerce, finance, travel, social media, and more. These datasets encompass various data types, including text, images, videos, and structured data, providing comprehensive coverage for different analytical needs,” a spokesperson explains.

The team believes that also of interest to academics and research teams would be ‘The Bright Initiative’ – a global program dedicated to using public web data to create positive change. Selected academic institutions and nonprofits can access data pro bono to assist their efforts to tackle pressing global issues from sustainability, gender equality, and digital innovation to labour, economy, and growth. Interested parties can apply via the website.
