Description

Common Crawl is an open-source web-crawling platform designed to collect and index large amounts of web data in order to enable researchers, developers, and data scientists to access this data for their projects. Common Crawl provides both full and partial datasets from the web, as well as a web-based interface for accessing the data. It uses a distributed computing platform to execute its web crawlers, which traverse different parts of the web and collect data from websites, including content, links, and meta-data. The data is then indexed and stored in an open-source repository for subsequent access by researchers, developers, and data scientists. Common Crawl also provides tools to process and analyze the data, such as the ability to filter and search for specific information, as well as visualization tools to help researchers gain insights into their data.
