Thordata Expands Residential Proxy Network to Fuel AI Data Needs

Thordata, a leading provider of enterprise-grade proxy and web data infrastructure, today announced a major expansion of its global residential proxy network. The upgrade is designed to address the critical 'data hunger' challenges facing large language model (LLM) developers, e-commerce platforms, and data-driven enterprises that require reliable, compliant access to real-time web data. The enhanced infrastructure now features over 100 million compliant residential IP addresses across 195+ countries, with city-level and ASN-level targeting. Thordata's Chief Product Officer, Acen, emphasized that the next generation of AI depends on the quality and timeliness of data, and the company is building data pipelines to access this strategic asset at scale without technical hurdles like IP blocks or geo-restrictions. The platform delivers sub-500ms response times and a 99.82% connection success rate, ensuring uninterrupted data pipelines for mission-critical applications.

Thordata has positioned itself as a leader in ethical data practices, implementing rigorous vetting protocols to comply with GDPR, CCPA, and KYC standards, along with SOC 2 Type 1 certification and a zero-data-retention policy. This commitment provides enterprise clients with assurance when integrating third-party data infrastructure into sensitive workflows. The infrastructure powers diverse use cases, including AI training data collection, e-commerce intelligence, real-time AI workflows, and continuous model training. One user reported a jump in scraper success rate from 40% to 98% overnight after switching to Thordata's residential proxy network. Beyond residential proxies, Thordata offers a full suite of products: Universal Scraping API with AI-powered unblocking, SERP API for real-time search results, Scraping Browser that automates CAPTCHA solving, and a Dataset Marketplace with pre-collected commercial data from over 120 domain sources.

As AI training and real-time applications accelerate, high-quality data has become a critical bottleneck. Thordata provides robust 'plumbing' for the AI economy, bridging the gap between the public web and vector databases. The platform's native support for MCP, LangChain, and RAG pipelines enables AI teams to feed clean, structured web data directly into AI workflows. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Hong Kong, Thordata is trusted by over 4,000 enterprises. For more information, visit thordata.com.
