What Is Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Crawler Plug-in API?

The Crawler Plug-in API enables the users to create their own secure crawler plug-in to meet their requirements. The Crawler Plug-in API is used to crawl and index proprietary document repositories, called user-defined sources. The plug-in collects document URLs and associated metadata from the user-defined source and returns the information to the Oracle SES crawler.
