  "description": "Bright Data's data-collection crawler, documented as the main collection pipeline for its products, with a 24-hour cache layer to avoid re-downloading the same page. The operator states Brightbot is deliberately transparent — a unique user agent plus a single published source subnet — so its traffic can be separated from user traffic. Its documented control mechanism is Bright Data's own collectors.txt file and Web Master console; the page states no robots.txt behaviour.",
