A simple command line interface tool (CLI) which allows you to analyse the accessibility of your data from all parts of the world. We have partnered up with BrightData to enable this service, therefore in order for the application to function you will need to have/create a BrightData account
Apart from a BrightData account here are 3 pieces of data that you will need:
- [ ✅ ] BrightData customerID
- [ ✅ ] BrightData proxy password
- [ ✅ ] URL that you want to analyse
Here is where you can find the above:
- Go to BrightData
- Log in and open your user dashboard
- Open left side menu
- API & Integrations > Proxy & Web Unlocker API > Other Software
- User is your customerID and Password is your password
Once you open the app, you will see the folloing menu options:
- INFO: Documentation for the application
- LOGIN: Initiates authentication
- EXIT: Exits the application
Once logged in your menu options your should also find:
- RUN: Prompts you for URL runs the programme on that URL
- LOGOUT: Logs you out
Each RUN request will generate an analysis folder containing results of all queries separately in JSON formats and a summary.txt file containing the summary of all requests in table format
The JSON files representing a request from a country will contain:
- url -> URL that the query has been run on
- status_code -> Status code of the HTTPResponse
- headers -> Headers of the HTTPResponse
- text -> HTML retreived from the url in string format
SSL Errors when requesting URL: You will sometimes encounter an SSL error, all that means is that you will need to install the BrightData SSL certificate. In order to do that:
- Go back to the page where you got your customerID and password
- In the top right corner you should see "Download an SSL certificate to run secured environment"
- Click on the link and download the certificate
- Locate the Python folder (should be titled Python {version} e.g. Python 3.10)
- Inside the folder locate "InstallCertificates.command" and click it
