Session control
Rotate proxies automatically, or hold the same IP with sticky sessions of up to 90 minutes.
Alternative data gives enterprises market insight from non-traditional sources — social sentiment, e-commerce prices, search trends, reviews and ratings. Thordata's 100M+ residential IPs and fully managed collection APIs keep your infrastructure moving at the speed of your data.

If you want to catch market moves first, fresh data is the most valuable data.

A collection pipeline built for live signals — Thordata's collection APIs extract real-time data from public targets and deliver it in ready-to-use structured formats, so your quant models and market monitoring systems consume it directly — no more waiting for offline batches.
The challenge — Stale or messy information can lead directly to wrong investment and business conclusions.
The Thordata answer — The Web Scraper API collects real-time data from hard-to-reach targets, with a built-in parser returning structured JSON — from $1.00 per 1,000 requests, dropping to $0.50 at volume.
Geo-restrictions, CAPTCHAs and IP bans should not cap your alternative data project.
Access every market as a local user — Alternative data sources are spread across the globe: country-specific e-commerce pricing, localized search results, regional social trends. Thordata's premium proxy network sends every request as a local user of the target market.
The challenge — Constant interruptions in your data flow directly disrupt daily operations and pipeline continuity.
The Thordata answer — A 100M+ residential IP pool covering 190+ countries and major cities, with IP rotation, smart retries and sticky sessions of up to 90 minutes for continuous, reliable access.

Precise analysis demands alternative data at scale.

Crawl tens of thousands of pages at once — Alternative data projects often monitor thousands of sources at once — news sites, e-commerce platforms, forums and review pages. Each source differs in access mechanics and protection level; self-built infrastructure can hardly keep up.
The challenge — Handling countless sources means dealing with different access mechanisms and anti-bot defenses one by one, with engineering costs rising linearly with scale.
The Thordata answer — Enterprise-grade collection infrastructure executes large-scale crawls simultaneously: automatic CAPTCHA and challenge handling, headless-browser JavaScript rendering, automatic retries on blocks — stable connections throughout.
Web Unlocker is an automated unblocking solution — it takes over the full lifecycle of each request, maintaining high success rates no matter how complex the target's defenses.

More than unblocking — a complete capability set for alternative data workflows.
Rotate proxies automatically, or hold the same IP with sticky sessions of up to 90 minutes.
A single entry node compatible with your existing code; swap the address and start collecting in minutes.
Easily manage and track request volume, success rates and cost details in the console.
Automatic headless-browser rendering for complete, reliable data from JS-heavy sites.
From thousands to millions of requests per day, scale with your business without changing architecture.
Whenever you hit a block, the technical team is there with answers and support.
Choose the form that fits your stage — scrape in real time when you need the latest signals, or pick a Data Set when you need historical data at scale.
For scenarios that demand the latest signals: price monitoring, sentiment tracking, search trends.
For model training and deep retrospective research: skip the scraping and get commercially licensed datasets directly.
Alternative data comes from non-traditional channels — social media sentiment, e-commerce prices and sales, search trends, geolocation, reviews and ratings. Traditional financial statements and sales data don't always paint a complete market picture, which is why forward-looking financial institutions increasingly supplement their analysis and decisions with alternative sources.
Two mainstream approaches: real-time scraping — structured data retrieved directly from target websites via the Thordata Web Scraper API or Web Unlocker API; or ready-made datasets — licensed, commercially usable datasets at scale from the Thordata Data Set platform, delivered and imported in one step.
Common examples include social media comments and sentiment (YouTube, TikTok, X data), e-commerce price and inventory movements, search trends and keyword heat, user reviews and ratings, app downloads and activity, plus news and public web content.
Most alternative data is unstructured or semi-structured in its raw form (web pages, comment text, images). Thordata's collection infrastructure parses it before delivery, returning structured JSON / CSV that flows straight into data warehouses and analytics pipelines.
Rule of thumb: start with the Web Scraper API (from $1.00/1,000 requests, with built-in parsing and auto-retries); escalate to the Web Unlocker API ($1.30/1,000 requests) for heavily protected targets; use raw residential proxy traffic when you need your own crawler logic. For historical data at scale, go straight to Data Set.
