The token count uses the AI-Sweden-Models/Llama-3-8B-instruct tokenizer. It counts all collected text, including other languages and repeated website text.

Files

  • —rows.parquet contains the collected documents.
  • —parser/ contains the crawler, site settings and Python requirements.

Crawl details

  • —Crawl started: 2026-08-15
  • —Crawl completed: 2026-08-15

The crawler used public sitemaps and links from the website. It stayed within the websites and file hosts listed in parser/sites.csv and followed robots.txt.

Text was taken from web pages, text-based PDFs, Word files and CSV files. Scanned PDFs and images were not read with OCR. Very short pages and exact duplicate texts were left out.
