Archive Location and Download

The September/October crawl archive is located in the commoncrawl bucket at crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/.

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 accessing the data for detailed instructions.

The Common Crawl URL Index for this crawl is available at: https://index.commoncrawl.org/CC-MAIN-2022-40/. Also the columnar index has been updated to contain this crawl.

Please donate to Common Crawl if you appreciate our free datasets! We’re also seeking corporate sponsors to partner with Common Crawl for our non-profit work in open data. Please contact [email protected] for sponsorship information.

Erratum: 

Some 2–Level CCTLDs Excluded

Originally reported by: 
Permalink

A bad configuration was checked into our exclusion list on Sep 22, 2022 and was fixed on Oct 27, 2023. The configuration blocked a number of 2–level domains, meaning they were not included in certain crawls.

The excluded CCTLDs were:

co.uk  org.uk  co.za   com.br  com.au  co.jp   com.pl  co.pt
co.th  com.tw  com.mx  co.nz   com.ua  com.de  co.il   com.tr
co.ua  cn.com  in.net  in.th   my.id   net.ua  or.kr

We apologize for this mistake, and that it took us a while to find it.
