Brightdata Web Unlocker

Fetch any URL — including pages that block plain requests with CAPTCHAs, bot-detection, JS challenges, geo-blocks, or paywalls — via Bright Data's Web Unlocker API, which routes the request through real browser fingerprinting and residential/mobile IPs so it comes back like a normal visitor loaded it. Automatically picks the right Bright Data zone: web_unlocker1 for most sites, web_unlocker_premium for a fixed list of ~90 high-defense domains (major retailers like target.com, walmart.com.mx, costco.com, bestbuy.com, kroger.com; marketplaces like shopee.*, lazada.*, carousell.*, temu.com; travel sites like hyatt.com, skyscanner.net, wizzair.com; people-search sites like familytreenow.com, peoplefinders.com; and more — see references/premium-domains.md for the full list). Trigger whenever the user says "fetch this page", "scrape <url>", "get past this site's bot detection", "this site is blocking my request/curl/WebFetch", "pull the HTML from <url>", "use web unlocker", "bright data unlocker", or gives a URL and wants its actual rendered content when a normal fetch would get blocked or challenged. For LinkedIn, Crunchbase, PitchBook, ZoomInfo, or TikTok profile/company data specifically, prefer the dedicated brightdata-* skill instead — it returns clean structured fields; reach for web-unlocker when there's no dedicated skill for the target site, or you need the raw rendered page itself.
