What it does

Brightdata is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Web scraping and search via Bright Data API. Requires BRIGHTDATAAPIKEY and BRIGHTDATAUNLOCKERZONE. Use for scraping any webpage as markdown (bypassing bot detection/CAPTCHA) or searching Google with structured results.

Its SKILL.md is about 330 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/scrape.sh` and `scripts/search.sh`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping. It works with Bright Data. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Scraping any webpage as markdown (bypassing bot detection/CAPTCHA)
  • Searching Google with structured results

Example prompts

  • “/brightdata”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • A credential in BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • brightdata.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Brightdata loads about 334 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 104 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~334

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 104 words (~334 tokens).
