No public status page or incident history.\n\n**ScrapeGraphAI.** An agent can mint an account and key over x402 or MPP with no signup. Rate limits and plan prices differ between docs pages.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Bright Data\n\n1. Connect with OAuth or keep the `?token=` URL out of logs and shared configs\n2. Add `groups=` or `tools=` to the MCP URL only for the extractors you need. The full set is 69 tools\n3. Retry `reject_block` errors, since each attempt uses a different peer. Certificate and DNS errors fail the same way twice\n4. Back off on a 429 `sr_rate_limit`. Bright Data throttles a target whose success rate drops\n5. Use the batch tools for up to 10 searches or scrapes in one call\n\n### ScrapeGraphAI\n\n1. Use `scrape` with the markdown format (1 credit) before reaching for `extract` (5 credits)\n2. Read `GET https://v2-api.scrapegraphai.com/api/agent/protocols` for current packs and prices before paying over x402\n3. MCP tool calls stop at 60 seconds. Use `crawl_start` and poll for anything longer\n4. Back off 1, 2 then 4 seconds on a 429 `rate_limit_exceeded`. No Retry-After is sent\n5. Use Orthogonal's x402 gateway when you need to pay per call without a key\n\n## Other comparisons with Bright Data or ScrapeGraphAI\n\n- [Bright Data vs Jina Reader](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-jina-reader.md)\n- [Bright Data vs Olostep](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-olostep.md)\n- [Bright Data vs Scrape.do](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-scrape-do.md)\n- [Bright Data vs Scrapeless](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-scrapeless.md)\n- [Bright Data vs Scrapfly](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-scrapfly.md)\n- [Bright Data vs ScrapingAnt](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-scrapingant.md)\n- [Bright Data vs ScrapingBee](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-scrapingbee.md)\n- [Bright Data vs Scrapingdog](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-scrapingdog.md)\n- [Bright Data vs Spider](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-spider-cloud.md)\n- [Bright Data vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-zenrows.md)\n- [Jina Reader vs ScrapeGraphAI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/jina-reader-vs-scrapegraphai.md)\n- [Olostep vs ScrapeGraphAI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/olostep-vs-scrapegraphai.md)\n- [Scrape.do vs ScrapeGraphAI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrape-do-vs-scrapegraphai.md)\n- [ScrapeGraphAI vs Scrapeless](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapegraphai-vs-scrapeless.md)\n- [ScrapeGraphAI vs Scrapfly](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapegraphai-vs-scrapfly.md)\n- [ScrapeGraphAI vs ScrapingAnt](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapegraphai-vs-scrapingant.md)\n- [ScrapeGraphAI vs ScrapingBee](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapegraphai-vs-scrapingbee.md)\n- [ScrapeGraphAI vs Scrapingdog](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapegraphai-vs-scrapingdog.md)\n- [ScrapeGraphAI vs Spider](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapegraphai-vs-spider-cloud.md)\n- [ScrapeGraphAI vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapegraphai-vs-zenrows.md)\n- [Bright Data vs Firecrawl MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-firecrawl-mcp.md)\n- [Firecrawl MCP vs ScrapeGraphAI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/firecrawl-mcp-vs-scrapegraphai.md)\n- [Apify MCP Server vs Bright Data](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apify-mcp-vs-bright-data.md)\n- [Apify MCP Server vs ScrapeGraphAI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apify-mcp-vs-scrapegraphai.md)\n",
