  • Recently, services provided to consumers are increasingly being combined with big data such as low-priced shopping, customized advertisement, and product recommendation. With the increasing importance of big data, the web crawler that collects data from the web has also become important. However, there are two problems with existing web crawlers. First, if the URL is hidden from the link, it can not be accessed by the URL. The second is the inefficiency of fetching more data than the user wants. Therefore, in this paper, through the Casper.js which can control the DOM in the headless brwoser, DOM event is generated by accessing the URL to the hidden link. We also propose an intelligent web crawler system that allows users to make steps to fine-tune both Structured and unstructured data to bring only the data they want. Finally, we show the superiority of the proposed crawler system through the performance evaluation results of the existing web crawler and the proposed web crawler.
