This application provides users with a flexible and robust method for finding the information they want from the web using input plugins, filtering the matches in a multitude of ways, and sending those matches where they'd like them to go (and in the format they need) using output plugins. This, in and of itself, is not novel. It is the use of SQLAlchemy to track what has been seen, accepted/rejected along with task scheduling that makes this application shine.
