Web Archive API

Start your training
with
the web already crawled.

A searchable copy of the public web: 770B+ pages from 320M domains, growing by ~1.5B pages a day. Filter by language, country, category, format, and date, then deliver the selected dataset to your cloud.

Web data ready for GPUs

Your first training run or search index should start with web data ready for GPUs.

Search the corpus you actually need

Turn a broad archive into a bounded dataset using market, language, category, format, date, and domain filters.

Know the footprint before export

Get page count, estimated bytes, pricing, and a retrieval plan before moving a single object.

Deliver into your stack

Stage Parquet, NDJSON, or CSV into S3, GCS, or Azure with completeness reporting.

Unified corpus definition

Define the dataset once for training, indexing, or sovereign AI.

Start from an outcome, then refine the same query. The preview updates the request payload, dataset scale, storage footprint, and expected retrieval class.

Technical path

From a filter expression to model-ready objects in your cloud.

The Archive removes crawling from your critical path while your data engineers retain control.

01Filter
Dataset definition

Language, country, category, modality, date, and domain constraints.

02Resolve
Archive index

Resolve matching HTTP-200 snapshots across 770B+ archived pages.

03Plan
Retrieval manifest

Count pages, classify storage tier, estimate bytes, cost, and sequence.

04Stage
Partitioned export

Retrieve and package in ~1GB batches with completeness reporting.

05Deliver
Your object store

Parquet, NDJSON, or CSV into S3, GCS, or Azure.

Focus engineering on models

Bright Data handles schedulers, proxy rotation, retries, and browser rendering.

Scope spend before transfer

Search the archive, define the corpus, and test a sample before export.

Maintain freshness after bootstrap

Move from the historical archive to daily refreshes through the same data layer.

Map the Archive to your stack. Review formats, partitions, cloud delivery, and refresh architecture.

Review the architecture
Coverage with operating controls

Coverage, compliance, and operational support belong in the same data layer.

A training dataset has to pass technical evaluation, procurement, and counsel before it fills GPUs.

Web-scale coverage

110PB+ across 320M domains, 100+ languages, JS-rendered HTML, PDFs, images, and historical search data. Approximately 1.5B pages are added daily.

Compliance-ready sourcing

KYC-gated access, a court-tested collection framework, and documentation aligned to EU AI Act training-content transparency requirements.

Built for the next run

Use the archive for the bootstrap, then move to recent slices or Data Firehose for continual training and index freshness.

Solution teams in five hubs

Work with support in your time zone.

Qualified programs work with account and solution teams near the people building the model or index. Bring the dataset definition, cloud target, and launch date. The team will prepare a retrieval plan.
