Thordata, a provider of enterprise-grade proxy and web data infrastructure, today announced a major expansion of its global residential proxy network to address the growing data needs of AI developers and data-driven enterprises. The upgraded network now includes over 100 million compliant residential IP addresses spanning more than 195 countries and regions, with city-level and ASN-level targeting capabilities.
The expansion aims to bridge the gap between AI systems and public web data. As Acen, Chief Product Officer at Thordata, stated, “The next generation of AI and business intelligence depends not just on algorithms, but on the quality and timeliness of the data they ingest. We're building the data pipelines that let enterprises access this strategic asset at scale—without worrying about technical hurdles like IP blocks or geo-restrictions.”
The upgraded platform offers 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 high-speed global data collection. Thordata has also emphasized ethical compliance, implementing protocols to comply with GDPR, CCPA, and KYC standards, along with SOC 2 Type 1 certification and a zero-data-retention policy.
Thordata’s infrastructure is deployed across multiple sectors. For AI training, it captures text, image, and video content in real-time, with one user reporting a scraper success rate increase from 40% to 98% after switching to Thordata. In e-commerce, it enables real-time competitor pricing and inventory monitoring. The network also supports real-time AI workflows, such as chatbots and recommendation engines, and continuous model training by providing fresh data from target regions.
Beyond residential proxies, Thordata offers a suite of products including a Universal Scraping API with AI-powered unblocking, a SERP API for real-time search results in JSON format, a Scraping Browser that automates CAPTCHA solving, and a Dataset Marketplace with pre-collected data from over 120 sources. These tools integrate with MCP, LangChain, and RAG pipelines, enabling AI teams to feed structured web data directly into workflows.
“We've seen a fundamental shift in how teams think about data ingestion,” Acen added. “It's no longer an afterthought—it's critical, production-grade infrastructure. That's the foundation that lets AI teams build with confidence for the long term.” Thordata, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Hong Kong, is trusted by over 4,000 enterprises.
