Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a guided web crawler for automated identification and verification of webpage resources. A service provider, such as an online transaction processor, may provide a guided web crawler and/or resources for such crawler for execution by computing devices of users. Users may load different pluggable modules to the guided web crawler, which are associated with specific web crawling tasks. Web crawling tasks may correspond to identification and verification of webpage resources on a webpage, such as a location, placement, use of, and/or number of appearances of the resource. The web crawler may use code from the pluggable module being executed to parse and/or crawl webpage data for a webpage and identify requested resources. Thereafter, the guided web crawler may automate resources to use, display, and/or interact with the identified and verified resource.
