Bidspot

Use your Chrome browser as a secure marketplace connector.

Bidspot turns your Chrome browser into a secure local proxy for Bidspot AI — a procurement assistant that searches marketplaces and finds the best prices for your business. HOW IT WORKS When you run a product search in Bidspot, the extension opens a hidden background tab, loads the marketplace page in your real browser (with full JavaScript rendering), and sends the results back to Bidspot's servers — exactly like a normal user visit. This avoids server-side blocks and CAPTCHAs that affect automated scrapers, while keeping your browsing experience completely uninterrupted. WHAT THE EXTENSION DOES • Opens a single persistent background tab to load marketplace pages • Navigates that tab silently — no new windows, no focus stealing • Sends page HTML back to Bidspot over an encrypted WebSocket (WSS) • Automatically closes the background tab after 3 minutes of inactivity WHAT THE EXTENSION DOES NOT DO • Does NOT read, collect, or transmit your personal browsing history • Does NOT inject scripts into pages you visit yourself • Does NOT access your passwords, form data, or cookies from your sessions • Does NOT run when you're not actively using Bidspot search • Does NOT store any page content — results are passed to Bidspot in memory and discarded SECURITY • The extension connects only to your Bidspot account via a secure token • Tokens expire after 1 year and can be revoked instantly from your account settings • All communication uses encrypted WebSocket (WSS/HTTPS) • The extension only activates when Bidspot sends a search request REQUIRED PERMISSIONS The extension needs access to all URLs because Bidspot searches marketplaces across many countries and domains — the full list changes dynamically based on your search. It's not possible to hardcode a fixed set of domains. GETTING STARTED 1. Install the extension 2. Go to app.usebidspot.com → Settings → Connectors 3. Click "Connect" in the extension popup 4. Run a product search — the extension will assist automatically Keep Chrome open while a search is running.
