Archive Location & Download

The November/December 2023 crawl archive is located in the commoncrawl bucket at crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/.

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.

Erratum: 

Erroneous title field in WAT records

Originally reported by: 
Robert Waksmunski
Permalink

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:

...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.
