April 2026 Crawl Archive Now Available

We are pleased to announce that the crawl archive for April 2026 is now available, containing 2.19 billion web pages or 379.2 TiB of uncompressed content.

The crawl archive for April 2026 is now available.

Corrected WARC Content-Type header
Starting from this crawl, revisit records now use the WARC header Content-Type: application/http;msgtype=response (previously message/http), aligning with iipc/warc-specifications#55 for consistency with other HTTP response records.

The data was crawled between April 10th and April 23rd, and contains 2.19 billion web pages (or 379.2 TiB of uncompressed content). Page captures are from 43.2 million hosts or 35.4 million registered domains and include 660.5 million new URLs, not visited in any of our prior crawls.

Archive Location & Download

The April 2026 crawl archive is located in the commoncrawl bucket at crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2026-17/.

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.

Erratum: 

Content is truncated

Originally reported by: 
More details
Some archived content is truncated due to fetch size limits imposed during crawling. This is necessary to handle infinite or exceptionally large data streams (e.g., radio streams). Prior to March 2025 (CC-MAIN-2025-13), the truncation threshold was 1 MiB. From the March 2025 crawl onwards, this limit has been increased to 5 MiB.
