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.
Elastic, MySQL-compatible distributed SQL with HTAP analytics built in
Storage and compute scale up or down in seconds without downtime or manual sharding, letting applications handle spikes and growth while paying for the capacity they use.
TiDB Cloud meets SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, PCI DSS, GDPR and HIPAA standards, with encryption and access controls suitable for regulated workloads.
Distributed transactions and multi-replica Raft consensus keep the database available through node and zone failures, and clusters can span availability zones or regions for disaster recovery.
One engine handles transactional and analytical queries, so you can run real-time reporting and analytics directly on live operational data instead of maintaining a separate warehouse pipeline.
