What Thordata does

Thordata is a privately held web data infrastructure company, operating under Hong Kong-domiciled entity HK Hengsheng Runzhi Technology Co., Limited, that provides a layered portfolio of proxy network services and web data extraction tools to enterprise and developer customers globally. The platform rests on a core proxy infrastructure comprising Residential Proxies (100M+ rotating real-user IPs across 190+ countries with 99.9% uptime and sub-0.5s response time), Mobile Proxies (real 4G/5G/LTE IPs in 140+ countries), Static ISP Proxies, and Datacenter Proxies. Built on top of this infrastructure are managed data products: a SERP API for structured search engine results, a Web Scraper API with 120+ prebuilt and custom scrapers, a Web Unlocker with real fingerprint simulation and automatic CAPTCHA handling, and a Scraping Browser that hosts Puppeteer, Selenium, and Playwright scripts in stealth browser environments. A data feeds layer includes ready-to-use Datasets across 120+ domains and a Video Datasets product of 6B videos from 700M unique channels positioned for LLM and multimodal model training.

Thordata generates revenue through consumption-based pricing per GB (residential and mobile proxies), per IP (static ISP and datacenter), per 1K responses (SERP API, Web Unlocker), per 1K results (Web Scraper API), and per GB (Scraping Browser), with custom subscription pricing for Datasets. Pricing across the catalogue starts at $0.50/1K results (Web Scraper API) and $0.65/GB (Residential Proxies) and extends to $2.5/GB (Scraping Browser). The go-to-market combines a product-led self-service model with a 500MB free trial and API-first developer onboarding, an enterprise sales motion with dedicated account managers and 3-minute pre-sales response, a 10% affiliate commission program, a proxy reseller program, and event-driven presence such as Affiliate World Conferences Asia 2025. Primary customer segments span AI and machine learning companies (training, fine-tuning, RAG), e-commerce businesses (competitor pricing, marketplace scraping), SEO and digital marketing agencies, data-driven enterprises and developers, advertisers and ad platforms, and market research firms.

The company has accumulated 4,000+ enterprise customers and delivered 95,398+ TB of traffic to date, supported by a team of 430+ experts. Compliance positioning includes GDPR and CCPA adherence, a multi-level KYC vetting program for customers, and certifications in progress for ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Strategic partnerships include integrations with BitBrowser (anti-detect browser), n8n (workflow automation), and MCP Server (AI agent infrastructure), alongside a free Chrome proxy extension and proxy checker tool. The company operates globally with commercial presence across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America; no venture funding, acquisitions, or public market activity is disclosed.
