Alerts were given to notify regarding dead resources so that crawling results were precise and the entire system became more efficient. To address the lower latency requirements of 5 to 10 minutes, some modules were added, which might live up to this computation power. All the scraped data was indexed with hosted indexing components and search APIs were given that a client might ask every few minutes for getting the results. The final results were provided in JSON format.
