I. Technical Architecture Overview

Two-Stage Intelligent Crawling Architecture

Our system adopts an innovative two-stage architecture that achieves complete automation from site analysis to intelligent crawling:

Stage 1 - Intelligent Profiling Construction

Automatically constructs site structure profiles through page sampling
Intelligently identifies website types (10 categories)
Automatically infers URL patterns, important sections, and content features
Supports caching mechanisms to improve repeated analysis efficiency

Stage 2 - Adaptive Crawling

Automatically configures crawling strategies based on profile results
Differentiated processing for different website types
Intelligent content modality identification (7 types)
Results automatically saved as structured data

Large Language Model Integration Upgrade

The system integrates GLM-4-Flash large language model, achieving intelligent upgrade from traditional heuristic to AI-driven approaches:

Intelligent Analysis: Website structure analysis based on semantic understanding
Strategy Optimization: Automatically generates optimal crawling strategies and parameters
Fallback Mechanism: Automatically falls back to traditional methods when AI fails
Cache Optimization: Intelligent cache management to avoid repeated analysis

II. Core Features and Innovations
