Introduction
Sentinel Scout is a next-generation web data acquisition platform designed to power AI and machine learning with high-quality, structured data. By combining distributed Android-based mobile proxies, an intelligent scraping engine, and a secure API layer, Scout enables anyone from developers to AI agents to run autonomous and censorship-resistant web scraping.
Unlike centralized scraping services that rely on fragile cloud IPs, Sentinel Scout leverages real Android devices as mobile proxies. This approach significantly improves success rates:
Mobile IPs are treated as genuine user traffic.
Websites apply fewer restrictions compared to cloud datacenters.
CAPTCHAs and bot-detection systems are bypassed more effectively.
This architecture makes Scout one of the most decentralized, resilient, and privacy-preserving data collection platforms available today.
What Makes Sentinel Scout Unique?
Anyone Can Contribute
By installing the Scout AI Data Miner app on Android, everyday users can join the network as active proxy nodes.
Each device rotates IPs, runs a lightweight local proxy, and contributes bandwidth.
Intelligent Scraper Engine
Built to handle modern web complexities with Headless Chrome rendering, bot bypass systems, and dynamic proxy routing.
Extracts clean, structured content ready for direct use in ML/AI pipelines.
Flexible Output Formats
Choose between HTML for full page fidelity, JSON for structured data, or Markdown (coming soon) for lightweight workflows.
Geo-Location Targeting
Execute scrapes from specific countries, cities, or ISPs.
Essential for geo-restricted content, localized market studies, and AI datasets tailored to regional contexts.
Security & Privacy by Design
Authentication powered by Web3 login and Kepler cryptographic keys.
Separation of dashboard tokens and API tokens ensures least-privilege access.
Future support for ZK Proofing will provide trustless validation of results.
Scalable Task Management
Jobs are distributed via a task queue with retries, prioritization, and location-aware routing.
Supports both Asynchronous APIs (batch processing) and Synchronous APIs (real-time ML consumption).
Continuous Monitoring
A global monitoring system tracks node uptime, health, latency, and error rates.
Uses tools like Prometheus and Grafana for real-time dashboards and alerts.
Why Sentinel Scout?
AI models are only as strong as the data they are trained on. Traditional scraping solutions are brittle, expensive, and prone to being blocked. Scout solves this with:
A decentralized network of Android mobile nodes.
An intelligent scraping system optimized for modern, dynamic websites.
Secure APIs for easy integration with AI agents and developer workflows.
With Sentinel Scout, you don’t just scrape the web — you unlock autonomous, resilient, and AI-ready data pipelines.
