Thordata, a provider of enterprise-grade proxy and web data infrastructure, announced a major expansion of its global residential proxy network to address the growing data needs of large language model (LLM) developers, e-commerce platforms, and data-driven enterprises. The upgrade enhances access to real-time web data, a critical resource for AI development and business intelligence.
The expanded network now features over 100 million compliant residential IP addresses spanning more than 195 countries and regions, with city-level and ASN-level targeting capabilities. According to Acen, Chief Product Officer at Thordata, the next generation of AI and business intelligence depends on the quality and timeliness of data. The company aims to build data pipelines that allow enterprises to access strategic data at scale without technical hurdles like IP blocks or geo-restrictions.
The upgraded platform offers high-performance data retrieval with sub-500ms response times and a 99.82% connection success rate, ensuring uninterrupted data pipelines. It supports unlimited concurrent sessions and seamless API integration, making it suitable for development teams requiring high-speed global data collection.
Thordata emphasizes ethical compliance and security, implementing rigorous vetting protocols to comply with major privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and KYC standards. The company holds SOC 2 Type 1 certification and maintains a strict zero-data-retention policy. Acen noted that clients need a partner that mitigates risk, and the company's adherence to ethical data acquisition standards protects brand reputation while providing necessary data.
The infrastructure supports diverse use cases across industries. For AI training data collection, it captures text, image, and video content from various websites in real-time, providing rich training data. One user reported a jump in scraper success rate from 40% to 98% after switching to Thordata's residential proxy network. In e-commerce intelligence, it enables retailers to monitor competitor pricing and inventory globally. Real-time AI workflows leverage the platform for customer-facing tools like chatbots and recommendation engines. Continuous model training and validation benefit from a steady stream of fresh data.
Thordata offers a comprehensive product ecosystem including a Universal Scraping API with AI-powered unblocking, a SERP API delivering real-time search results in JSON format with sub-second latency and 99.7% success rate, a Scraping Browser that automates CAPTCHA solving and IP rotation, and a Dataset Marketplace with pre-collected commercial data from over 120 domain sources. These products are designed to streamline the data collection lifecycle.
As AI training and real-time applications accelerate, high-quality data has become a critical bottleneck. Thordata provides infrastructure that bridges the gap between the public web and vector databases, with native support for MCP, LangChain, and RAG pipelines. This allows AI teams to feed clean, structured web data directly into workflows. Acen stated that data ingestion is now critical, production-grade infrastructure that lets AI teams build with confidence.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Hong Kong, Thordata is trusted by over 4,000 enterprises. The company offers a full suite including residential proxies, static ISP proxies, datacenter proxies, mobile proxies, web scraper APIs, SERP APIs, and a scraping browser.
