Common Crawl is a non-profit that freely provides petabytes of web data, making it a goldmine for AI and data projects. Instead of crawling the web yourself, you can tap into their regularly updated archives hosted on AWS.

This guide shows you how to:

• Access and query the dataset via HTTP, S3, or AWS Athena
• Use the Common Crawl Index API to locate specific pages
• Efficiently extract only the data you need without downloading terabytes
