Turning 30,000 Arabic domains into a better crawl

Code and data accompanying the work described in this blog post to filter, geolocate and categorise a donation of Arabic seed domains.

Contents

  • ArabicDomainQuality.xlsx: The original data received from QCRI.
  • arabic_seeds.ipynb: A notebook detailing the data processing and analysis.
  • crawl_lang_info.tsv: Summarised language information for the domains found in the CC-MAIN-2026-{21,17,12} archives.
  • DomainQuality_Dashboard.ipynb: Additional analysis of the quality of the pre-filtered domains, carried out by researchers at QCRI.

We use uv to manage Python dependencies.
