Huge fan and regular personal user of both n8n + Bright Data. Really excited to see what folks build.
Another opportunity to learn new technology. Don't miss out guys :)
I'm also participating this time. I'm planning to make something wow.
This is actually amazing. I know exactly what I’m going to build with this. A leads gen engine but also so much more. It actually fits nicely with my hustle project currently
I couldn't participate this time unfortunately. was busy working on my project. got funded by VC, news coming soon :)
Wish luck to all participants! Checking all projects now. you guys have built some crazy projects! Love it!
Is anyone able to assist with the Bright Data N8N Node for the web unlocker?
I don't get any response for the zone selection.
There is no result from the API
Access and extract data from a specific URL - Zone
Hi there,
Meir from Bright Data here 👋
Can you please make sure that :
If you are still facing any issues after validating the above, please do let me know, I would love to help you solve it !
Thank you for the clarification; I will check it out. Thanks again!
Hi, Check this : n8n.io/workflows/8053-create-data-...
You will see how to use it and get responses :-)
Thank you!
Hi,
I'm based in Pakistan. I'm eligible to participate in this hackathon according to the official Dev rules. I'm unable to access Bright Data Website without VPN. Can you help me with this?
Thanks,
Muhammad Arslan
Is there an issue while accessing it through vpn? If not, use vpn
There's a broken link at the top for [official challenge page](dev.to/challenges/n8nbrightdata-20...). 🫠 Is this supposed to be the same as [rules, guidelines, and FAQ page](dev.to/challenges/brightdata-n8n-2...)?
The broken
n8nbrightdata-2025-08-13
is also in the prefill template. 😉Thanks, fixed!
@jess I'm just confirming if this needs to be the Bright Data node or can it use the Bright Data MCP Server as well?
@sebastiandevelops confirmed that this need to be the Bright Data Verified Node, and not the Bright Data MCP Server.
What's the difference between verified node and mcp server?
The Verified Node is used in the broader automation/workflow, whereas the MCP is specifically leveraged as a "Tool" by the agent itself. You'll still use the Verified Node to pass data forward to be used by the agent.
@peter So, is it mandatory for the AI agent to use the verified node as a tool? Or the verified node can be used independently? Like scrape a website using brightdata node -> extract data using selectors -> send it to the agent for some AI task
This can be done using Brightdata’s node on n8n. You create a scraper on Brightdata, then extract the data on n8n. I find you have to build your scraper independently, if you are building a custom scraper
Yes, that's how I'm thinking of doing it, but since AI agent node is to be used -> should the bright data node should be a tool to the AI agent or it can be used independently?
Oh I see yes it’s compulsory to use it but not specified how to use in in your workflow. So it depends on you how you use it? I need a trigger to start the process, so will start with an AI agent
If anyone wondering about Claiming credits, this should help:
The promo code has reached the maximum number of activations
Give it a try now, you should be good to go.
If I need to use the scraping browser API, how do I call the custom browser API using the verified node? I currently don't see a way to do it using verified node.
is there a discord/slack channel to ask questions?
I have created an issue for the same - github.com/n8nhackers/n8n-nodes-br...
@jess Anyway to contact the hackathon organizer via discord/slack/email?
@better-boy you can try the n8n discord: discord.gg/n8n
Agents building! 🤖
I'm in🔥
@jess I've seen these challenges for a while, and I want to participate in this one. Is there any required format for the post containing my entry details?
@juansecu yes, please follow the submission template above.
Thank you so much! Didn't notice it at first, tbh 😂!
Promo code issue has been resolved.
Thanks to Noah.
@peter @jess My brother and I would both like to participate in the contest individually with different automations. Will being siblings impact our candidacy, or will we both still qualify as separate participants?
You’ll be fine. You can each submit under your own DEV account.
i want link of meet that will be at augest 19 12 pm
Great opportunity 👌
Good luck to everyone - this sounds like very much fun hackaton - love to see ideas people have
interesting🤩
Awesome! Starting right now!
Here is to the Artificial Intelligence that users legally host and own, themselves. Corporations' AI makes no logic. Who agrees? Either way, best of luck, and God bless all.
@jess Can anyone increase the promo code number of activations. It's showing promo code has reached the maximum number of activations.
This sounds amazing! Excited to see how creative the community gets with real-time AI workflows using n8n and Bright Data. Definitely bookmarking this challenge and looking forward to the livestream!
I am very interested in serving as a judge for this competition. Could you please provide information about the application process and requirements?
Interesting
i was created my account and ready it's nice thing do challenge on new technologies thanks
The promo code has reached the maximum number of activations
Great initiative! Looking forward to learning n8n through this challenge.
Love this combo..
If build on localhost n8n?
Here is my project - it can be run locally using Docker BrandGuardAI
Nice
Thank you for sharing these important dates. I have noted the deadlines and look forward to participating.
we have publish the post only in dev.to or anywhere else also ?
