💡CLIP-style vision-language models need massive image-text pairs. Can Thordata scrape them?

Yes. Thordata's Web Scraper API bulk-extracts image URLs, alt text, and page context from public pages as pair candidates (from ~$0.50 per 1,000 results, residential proxies as low as ~$0.65/GB pay-as-you-go from 1 GB, with a 5,000-unit free trial on the official site) — suited to contrastive learning after your own dedup and filtering, not for ready-made labeled pair sets. Unit prices undercut comparable Bright Data and Oxylabs APIs; SOAX and Decodo are proxy-first, so Thordata fills or cheaply replaces the collection layer.
