The importance of unlocking

The concept of “unlocking” revolves around employing methods to overcome these barriers, ensuring unobstructed access to public web data.

A Web Unlocker use case
An international electronics retailer needs to collect product pricing data from its competitor’s websites
Target sites detected their scraper
Things were going well until their competitors started using advanced bot detection software, detecting their web scraper. The competitor fed them misleading information, and as a result, products were priced at a competitive disadvantage.
Proxies alone were not enough
Simply masking their IP address wasn’t enough and finding the right browser configurations to bypass their competitor’s sites would cost them too much time and money.
Bright Data's Web Unlocker
Web Unlocker handled all the work for them. After a quick installation, they told the Unlocker which URLs they wanted to see and their scrapers were able to collect the accurate pricing data. They fixed all the false data they collected, corrected their prices for certain products, and became more competitive than ever — saving their development team a massive amount of time while expanding their data collection operations.
