PROCESS

How Data Firehose works

Tell us what you need. We configure delivery.
Data flows continuously - you stay in control.

  1. Define filters

    Tell us your target domains / categories / languages / geos.
    We scope and configure the feed.

  2. Configure delivery

    Stream records immediately as they're collected, or batch by time/size.

  3. Control via API

    Raw HTML, parsed structured output, images, videos, or everything at once.

  4. Smart Reports & Insights

    Pause the stream, change filters, or scale volume at any point, all controllable via API.

Your pipeline deserves data that keeps up with the web

Train on what the web looks like today

Keep training pipelines fed with fresh, diverse public web content; HTML, media, and metadata, collected continuously across domains, verticals, and languages. Not in monthly batches.

Catch every price change as it happens

Receive price and stock updates across e-commerce domains the moment they're collected - without building, running, or maintaining your own crawl infrastructure.

Act on signals before they become noise

Track emerging trends across e-commerce, social, and news as they happen - filtered by domain, vertical, language, and geo, so you act on fresh signals, not day-old snapshots.

Keep your index as fresh as the web

Keep your search index current with a continuous stream of fresh public web records delivered directly to your pipeline, so your users always find what they're looking for.

Data Firehose FAQ

Records are delivered as they're collected- not batched or scheduled. The stream reflects the public web on a continuous basis, with ~1B records ingested daily.

Not necessarily, and that's intentional. The same URL may be crawled multiple times over time, capturing different prices, stock levels, or content at each point. Whether a repeated record is useful depends entirely on your use case. Price monitoring customers need every recrawl. Catalog customers may not. We scope your stream accordingly.

Every record delivered has a confirmed successful HTTP response - meaning the page loaded correctly at the time of collection. Records with error codes, redirects, or failed responses are filtered out before delivery.

The stream includes HTML pages, media, and metadata, covering public web content across the domains, verticals, languages, and geos you define.

Yes. They serve different needs. Data Firehose delivers records as they're collected (continuous, fresh). Web Archive gives you access to 50PB+ of historical cached data. Many teams use both: Firehose for ongoing monitoring and training, Archive for historical analysis and enrichment.
