3️⃣ **Agent: Scrape Backlinks (Bright Data MCP)**
![🤖](https://em-content.zobj.net/thumbs/120/apple/354/robot_1f916.png)

* **What it does:** Calls your **custom scraping Agent** that uses Bright Data MCP to visit backlink explorer pages (like Ahrefs or Moz) and pull backlink data.
* **How:** The Agent uses a secure proxy network to get around anti-bot protections and scrapes backlink profiles (URL, anchor text, type, etc.).
* **Output:** Raw JSON with all backlinks found for the competitor.

**Sub-Nodes:**

  * Optional: If your Agent needs an LLM to generate instructions or parse dynamic websites, it talks to OpenAI here.
* 🗂️ **Output Parser: Backlink JSON**
  ![🗂️](https://em-content.zobj.net/thumbs/120/apple/354/card-index-dividers_1f5c2-fe0f.png)

  * Ensures the Agent’s raw text comes out as **structured JSON** → easy to split & save later.
