Ecommerce Web Data Provider Audit — Verified Figures (2026)
Independently verified facts about the major ecommerce web-data providers (Bright Data, Oxylabs, Decodo, Webshare): dataset counts, scraper coverage, published pricing models, and third-party ratings. One row per verified fact, with the verification method, date, and re-check URL for every figure.
Canonical source: the data derives from, and is analysed in full at, Cllimber's Bright Data for Ecommerce Review. This dataset card intentionally carries the figures only — assessment and context live at the canonical URL.
Dataset structure
Single CSV, ecommerce-web-data-providers.csv:

Notable data points (verified 2026-08-11 to 2026-08-17)
Bright Data's marketplace lists 733 ecommerce datasets and 706 pre-built scraper domains against vendor-published claims of 600+/700+ and 550+ respectively — vendor materials repeatedly understate the logged-in counts. The Amazon products dataset holds 737.62M records across 101 fields (up from 737.28M/100 six days earlier — catalogue growth observed between checks). Oxylabs publishes 175M+ residential IPs (down from 177M+) and $49/month scraper tiers.
Hands-on test results (2026-08-17)
Two live runs with platform-reported metrics: the ChatGPT Search scraper returned 4/4 records at 100% success in 6m 11s (40 structured fields vs the published "up to 25"); a pre-built eCommerce scraper (madeincookware.com) achieved 100% success in 3m 6s with 10/10 price accuracy against pre-registered live-site anchors. A free Amazon dataset sample delivered 1,000 rows × 99 columns with core fields 91–100% populated.
Methodology & limitations
Counts were taken from within a logged-in Bright Data account; pricing from vendors' live published pages; ratings from live G2/Trustpilot/Capterra pages; the LLM-scraper benchmark from AIMultiple. Small-scale hands-on testing was conducted on 17 August 2026 (vendor-provided credit, disclosed; results published as observed). No at-scale performance testing was conducted. Re-verified monthly; version history is the audit trail. Methodology: https://cllimber.com/our-research-methodology/
