# Bright Data Install & Auth

## Overview

Configure Bright Data proxy credentials, API tokens, and SSL certificates for web scraping. Bright Data uses HTTP proxy protocols and REST APIs — you authenticate via zone credentials from the control panel, not a dedicated npm SDK.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+
- Bright Data account at https://brightdata.com
- A configured zone (Web Unlocker, Scraping Browser, SERP API, or Residential)
- Zone credentials from the Bright Data control panel

## Instructions

### Step 1: Gather Credentials from Control Panel

Log into https://brightdata.com/cp and navigate to your zone's overview tab:

| Credential | Location | Example |
|-----------|----------|---------|
| Customer ID | Settings > Account | `c_abc123` |
| Zone Name | Zone overview tab | `web_unlocker1` |
| Zone Password | Zone overview tab | `z_pass_xyz` |
| API Token | Settings > API tokens | `abc123def456` |

### Step 2: Configure Environment Variables

```bash
# .env (NEVER commit to git)
BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID=c_abc123
BRIGHTDATA_ZONE=web_unlocker1
BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD=z_pass_xyz
BRIGHTDATA_API_TOKEN=abc123def456

# .gitignore — add these
echo '.env' >> .gitignore
echo '.env.local' >> .gitignore
```

### Step 3: Download Bright Data SSL Certificate

Required for HTTPS proxy connections through the super proxy:

```bash
curl -sO https://brightdata.com/ssl/brd-ca.crt

# Node.js — set environment variable
export NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=./brd-ca.crt
```

### Step 4: Install HTTP Libraries

```bash
# Node.js
npm install axios dotenv

# Python
pip install requests python-dotenv
```

### Step 5: Verify Connection

```typescript
// verify-brightdata.ts
import axios from 'axios';
import https from 'https';
import 'dotenv/config';

const { BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID, BRIGHTDATA_ZONE, BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD } = process.env;

const proxy = {
  host: 'brd.superproxy.io',
  port: 33335,
  auth: {
    username: `brd-customer-${BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID}-zone-${BRIGHTDATA_ZONE}`,
    password: BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD!,
  },
};

async function verify() {
  const res = await axios.get('https://lumtest.com/myip.json', {
    proxy,
    httpsAgent: new https.Agent({ rejectUnauthorized: false }),
  });
  console.log('Proxy IP:', res.data.ip);
  console.log('Country:', res.data.country);
  console.log('Connection verified.');
}

verify().catch(console.error);
```

```python
# verify_brightdata.py
import os, requests
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
proxy_url = (
    f"http://brd-customer-{os.environ['BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID']}"
    f"-zone-{os.environ['BRIGHTDATA_ZONE']}"
    f":{os.environ['BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD']}"
    f"@brd.superproxy.io:33335"
)
resp = requests.get(
    'https://lumtest.com/myip.json',
    proxies={'https': proxy_url},
    verify='./brd-ca.crt',
)
print(f"Proxy IP: {resp.json()['ip']}, Country: {resp.json()['country']}")
```

## Output

- `.env` file with zone credentials (git-ignored)
- `brd-ca.crt` SSL certificate for HTTPS proxying
- Successful proxy connection showing rotated IP and country

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `407 Proxy Authentication Required` | Wrong username format | Use `brd-customer-{ID}-zone-{ZONE}` |
| `SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED` | Missing CA cert | Download `brd-ca.crt` |
| `ECONNREFUSED` on port 33335 | Firewall blocking | Allow outbound TCP to `brd.superproxy.io:33335` |
| `403 Forbidden` | Zone not active | Activate zone in control panel |

## Next Steps

After successful auth, proceed to `brightdata-hello-world` for your first scraping request.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
