Celebrating 2024 With You


At Traject Data, we celebrate the opportunity to learn about the impressive, data-driven work you do and the features and performance you need to keep business moving forward.

This year was busy with feature releases and speed optimization – complete data delivered faster than ever to support your growth goals and help you bring new or improved products and services to market. 

We cut data retrieval response time by 50% in the past year, with rearchitected infrastructure and parsing improvements ensuring access to fast, clean, and reliable SERP and eCommerce data.

During another record-breaking Prime Day, our engineering team worked around the clock to adjust our data collection methods so Rainforest API customers could capture essential data from Amazon. That was followed by an uneventful (read: no blocking issues) 😀 but sizable delivery of data during Prime Big Deal Days. Customers counted on us to get this valuable sales event data to inform their pricing and product strategies.

    Beyond the performance gains, we released nearly 50 product updates across our SERP and eCommerce APIs – many of which were informed by your input on features and functionality.
