Five of the web's biggest data-scraping brands now sit under one $3.6 billion umbrella, and AI agents are the reason why
Oxylabs, Decodo, Webshare, ScrapingBee, and Honeygain are now one $3.6 billion family called Source, and it says AI agents have quadrupled demand.
Five leading web data-scraping companies - Oxylabs, Decodo, Webshare, ScrapingBee, and Honeygain - have merged under a single entity called Source, based in Vilnius. The Lithuanian group claims that the rise of AI agents, next-generation search tools, and frontier AI products has led to a fourfold increase in demand for their services over the past year.
Each brand maintains its own team, product strategy, and customer base, while Source handles patents, procurement, hiring, and compliance. The five brands are divided by customer type: Oxylabs serves enterprises and AI labs, Decodo targets the mid-market, ScrapingBee offers developer APIs, Webshare caters to professional consumers and solo builders, and Honeygain compensates ordinary people for their spare bandwidth.
Source's CEO, Vytautas Savickas, previously led Decodo until March 2026 before taking over as the leader of the Oxylabs group. The consolidation aims to provide a unified voice in defending responsible access to public web data and to position the companies for better negotiation of access rules when the regulations for AI agents' use of the live web are established.
