We are pleased to announce that the crawl archive for April 2024 is now available.
The data was crawled between April 12th and April 25th, and contains 2.7 billion web pages (or 386 TiB of uncompressed content). Page captures are from 47.24 million hosts or 37.65 million registered domains and include 0.98 billion new URLs not visited in any of our prior crawls.
Archive Location & Download
The April 2024 crawl archive is located in the commoncrawl bucket at crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/.
To assist with exploring and using the dataset, we provide gzipped files which list all segments, WARC, WAT and WET files.
By simply adding either s3://commoncrawl/ or https://data.commoncrawl.org/ to each line, you end up with the S3 and HTTP paths respectively, please see Get Started for detailed instructions.
We would like to thank Sebastian Nagel, as ever, for his ongoing support in releasing this crawl. If you have any questions or comments regarding this crawl release we'd love to hear from you in our Discord server, or in our Google Group!
Erratum:
Erroneous title field in WAT records
The "Title" extracted in WAT records to the JSON path `Envelope > Payload-Metadata > HTTP-Response-Metadata > HTML-Metadata > Head > Title` is not the content included in the <title> element in the HTML header (<head> element) if the page contains further <title> elements in the page body. The content of the last <title> element is written to the WAT "Title". This bug was observed if the HTML page includes embedded SVG graphics.
The issue was reported by the user Robert Waksmunski:
- https://groups.google.com/g/common-crawl/c/ZrPFdY3pPA4/m/s5D_8wCJAAAJ
- WAT extractor: Document title bug ia-web-commons#36
...and was fixed for CC-MAIN-2024-42 by commoncrawl/ia-web-commons#37.
This erratum affects all crawls from CC-MAIN-2013-20 until CC-MAIN-2024-38.
