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.
Agentic web scraper that turns any page into ready-to-use data
Open a page, click extract, and AI proposes the fields worth capturing and returns structured rows — no CSS selectors or drag-and-drop setup.
For popular sites like Amazon, eBay, and Google Maps, pre-built templates return consistent fields instantly without spending AI credits.
Thunderbit can open linked pages and pull details from them, so a results list and its detail pages become a single table in one run.
Summarize, categorize, translate, reformat, or calculate fields as part of the scrape, so exports arrive ready to use.
