Data Type File List #Files Total Size

Segments segment.paths.gz 100
WARC warc.paths.gz 24500 22.95

To assist with exploring and using the dataset, we provide gzipped files that list:

By simply adding either s3://commoncrawl/ or https://data.commoncrawl.org/ to each line, you end up with the S3 and HTTP paths respectively.

The Common Crawl URL Index for this crawl is available at: https://index.commoncrawl.org/CC-MAIN-2016-22/.

For more information on working with the URL index, please refer to the previous blog post or the Index Server API. There is also a command-line tool client for common use cases of the url index.

We are grateful to our friends at Moz for donating a seed list of 400 Million URL's to enhance the Common Crawl. The seeds from Moz were used for the May crawl in addition to the seeds from the preceding crawl. Moz URL data will be incorporated into future crawls as well.

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 info@commoncrawl.org for sponsorship information and packages.
