FAQ

Questions about Web Unlocker.

What does the Web Unlocker action do in Bright Data?

Pass a URL; Bright Data routes through residential IPs, executes JavaScript, solves captchas, handles rate-limit evasion. Returns the rendered page. Pricing per successful request — failed requests aren't charged. The right tool for sites that block standard scrapers.

What inputs does Web Unlocker require?

Required: URL. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Bright Data returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Web Unlocker support batch operations?

Yes. Run Web Unlocker inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Bright Data's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
