Thordata

Web data collection infrastructure combining a global proxy network with four HTTP collection APIs. The proxy side spans residential, ISP, datacenter, mobile and high-bandwidth pools reached through a gateway with per-product ports, geo-targeting encoded in the username, and either Basic auth or IP whitelisting. The API side is a SERP API across Google, Bing, Yandex and DuckDuckGo; a Universal Scraping API and Web Unlocker for JavaScript-rendered and blocked pages; a Web Scraper API of pre-built extractors for Amazon, LinkedIn, TikTok, Zillow, Crunchbase and sixteen more sites, run as asynchronous tasks with cron scheduling and webhook callbacks; and a remote Scraping Browser driven over the Chrome DevTools Protocol from Puppeteer, Playwright or Selenium. A public management API covers account balances, proxy inventory, proxy sub-user provisioning with traffic caps, IP whitelisting and geo-targeting reference data. Thordata maintains a canonical cross-language SDK specification on GitHub that drives official Python, JavaScript, Go and Java clients, publishes an OpenAPI generated from it, ships an official LangChain tool pack and a Firecrawl-compatible layer, and serves a full markdown documentation index at llms.txt. Billing is prepaid and unusual in one respect that matters to automated consumers: only a 200 response is charged, so failed and empty collections cost nothing.

Thordata publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including SERP API, Universal Scraping API & Web Unlocker, Web Scraper API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Proxy network, Web scraping, Data extraction, SERP, and Search data.

The Thordata catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Thordata’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 25 more developer resources.

x-not-published:
  note: Recorded so a reader can tell absence from an unchecked field. Each of these was probed on 2026-08-11 and confirmed
    missing; no pointer is emitted for any of them.
  status_page: None. status.thordata.com does not resolve and no status or uptime link appears in the docs, either llms.txt,
    or the sitemap.
  well_known: Every /.well-known/ path returns 404 on every host, including security.txt, despite a live paid vulnerability
    reward program. See well-known/thordata-well-known.yml.
  agent_card: /.well-known/agent-card.json and /.well-known/agent.json both 404 on all four hosts. No a2a/ artifact is written,
    because an agent card can only ever be something the provider serves.
  mcp_server: No MCP server exists - mcp.thordata.com does not resolve, /mcp 404s, and there is no MCP package or repository
    in the Thordata organization. mcp/thordata-mcp.yml records a CANDIDATE tool list derived from real operations and deliberately
    carries no MCPServer pointer, so the catalog does not credit Thordata with a server it has not built. Its real agent surface
    is the official LangChain tool pack, crosswalked in mcp/thordata-tool-crosswalk.yml.
  compliance: No SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA or FedRAMP certification is claimed anywhere, and no trust center exists.
    The published KYC program is customer vetting, not a third-party audit.
  deprecation_policy: None. No Sunset or Deprecation headers and no policy page; deprecations surface only in SDK changelogs
    after the fact.
  oauth: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect surface, so no scopes/ artifact.
  asyncapi: No AsyncAPI document. The webhook surface is real and documented, so a Webhooks pointer is emitted, but no AsyncAPI
    pointer.
  cli: No first-party CLI.
  postman: No official public Postman workspace or collection.
