Web data infrastructure for scraping, proxies, and AI-ready datasets
Unlocker, SERP, Browser, and Crawl APIs fetch and parse public pages, handle anti-bot measures and CAPTCHAs, and return results in JSON, HTML, or Markdown.
Residential, ISP, and datacenter proxy pools with country, city, and ASN targeting, plus proxy management APIs for rotation and session control.
Structured endpoints for well-known domains such as LinkedIn, Amazon, and social platforms, delivering fresh records on demand or on a schedule.
Purchase or filter pre-collected datasets across business, e-commerce, social, and real-estate categories with billions of records available.

Automatic license plate and vehicle recognition for cameras, APIs, and custom applications.
Rekor Scout reads live video from most IP, traffic, and security cameras and provides real-time vehicle recognition results in any browser.
Rekor CarCheck accepts still images of vehicles and returns plate and vehicle information as structured JSON for easy integration into your own apps.
The platform returns plate number, make, model, colour, and direction of travel rather than the plate alone.
Search a retained database of detections by full or partial plate number, or filter by vehicle attributes, with up to 60 days of data retention.
