Implementation Reference

  • Core handler logic for web_data_tiktok_posts: Triggers BrightData dataset 'gd_lu702nij2f790tmv9h' via API POST with input data (URL), polls snapshot status every second up to 600 attempts (10 minutes), reports progress if available, and returns the collected JSON data as string.
    execute: tool_fn(`web_data_${id}`, async(data, ctx)=>{ let trigger_response = await axios({ url: 'https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3/trigger', params: {dataset_id, include_errors: true}, method: 'POST', data: [data], headers: api_headers(), }); if (!trigger_response.data?.snapshot_id) throw new Error('No snapshot ID returned from request'); let snapshot_id = trigger_response.data.snapshot_id; console.error(`[web_data_${id}] triggered collection with ` +`snapshot ID: ${snapshot_id}`); let max_attempts = 600; let attempts = 0; while (attempts < max_attempts) { try { if (ctx && ctx.reportProgress) { await ctx.reportProgress({ progress: attempts, total: max_attempts, message: `Polling for data (attempt ` +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`, }); } let snapshot_response = await axios({ url: `https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3` +`/snapshot/${snapshot_id}`, params: {format: 'json'}, method: 'GET', headers: api_headers(), }); if (['running', 'building'].includes(snapshot_response.data?.status)) { console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot not ready, ` +`polling again (attempt ` +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`); attempts++; await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); continue; } console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot data received ` +`after ${attempts + 1} attempts`); let result_data = JSON.stringify(snapshot_response.data); return result_data; } catch(e){ console.error(`[web_data_${id}] polling error: ` +`${e.message}`); attempts++; await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); } } throw new Error(`Timeout after ${max_attempts} seconds waiting ` +`for data`); }),
  • server.js:683-744 (registration)
    Dynamic registration of web_data_tiktok_posts tool inside loop over datasets: sets name=`web_data_tiktok_posts` (for id='tiktok_posts'), description from config, Zod parameters schema from inputs=['url'], and attaches the generic dataset handler.
    addTool({ name: `web_data_${id}`, description, parameters: z.object(parameters), execute: tool_fn(`web_data_${id}`, async(data, ctx)=>{ let trigger_response = await axios({ url: 'https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3/trigger', params: {dataset_id, include_errors: true}, method: 'POST', data: [data], headers: api_headers(), }); if (!trigger_response.data?.snapshot_id) throw new Error('No snapshot ID returned from request'); let snapshot_id = trigger_response.data.snapshot_id; console.error(`[web_data_${id}] triggered collection with ` +`snapshot ID: ${snapshot_id}`); let max_attempts = 600; let attempts = 0; while (attempts < max_attempts) { try { if (ctx && ctx.reportProgress) { await ctx.reportProgress({ progress: attempts, total: max_attempts, message: `Polling for data (attempt ` +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`, }); } let snapshot_response = await axios({ url: `https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3` +`/snapshot/${snapshot_id}`, params: {format: 'json'}, method: 'GET', headers: api_headers(), }); if (['running', 'building'].includes(snapshot_response.data?.status)) { console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot not ready, ` +`polling again (attempt ` +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`); attempts++; await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); continue; } console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot data received ` +`after ${attempts + 1} attempts`); let result_data = JSON.stringify(snapshot_response.data); return result_data; } catch(e){ console.error(`[web_data_${id}] polling error: ` +`${e.message}`); attempts++; await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); } } throw new Error(`Timeout after ${max_attempts} seconds waiting ` +`for data`); }), });
  • Dataset configuration defining the schema (inputs: url string URL), description, and BrightData dataset_id for web_data_tiktok_posts tool.
    id: 'tiktok_posts', dataset_id: 'gd_lu702nij2f790tmv9h', description: [ 'Quickly read structured Tiktok post data.', 'Requires a valid Tiktok post URL.', 'This can be a cache lookup, so it can be more reliable than scraping', ].join('\n'), inputs: ['url'],
  • Helper wrapper tool_fn applied to all tools (including web_data_tiktok_posts): enforces rate limiting, tracks usage stats, logs execution details, input/output, errors with HTTP details, and duration.
    function tool_fn(name, fn){ return async(data, ctx)=>{ check_rate_limit(); debug_stats.tool_calls[name] = debug_stats.tool_calls[name]||0; debug_stats.tool_calls[name]++; debug_stats.session_calls++; let ts = Date.now(); console.error(`[%s] executing %s`, name, JSON.stringify(data)); try { return await fn(data, ctx); } catch(e){ if (e.response) { console.error(`[%s] error %s %s: %s`, name, e.response.status, e.response.statusText, e.response.data); let message = e.response.data; if (message?.length) throw new Error(`HTTP ${e.response.status}: ${message}`); } else console.error(`[%s] error %s`, name, e.stack); throw e; } finally { let dur = Date.now()-ts; console.error(`[%s] tool finished in %sms`, name, dur); } }; }
