1. A Robotic Process Automation (RPA) system for identifying updates to website data used by other RPA routines, the system comprising:
a computer having a storage and a network connection;
a first RPA program comprising software executing on said computer which is adapted to access known data on the storage, the known data indicative of website data used by a second software;
said first RPA program configured to access one or more websites via the network to perform a comparison, based on the known data, to determine if changes have been made to the one or more websites which changes may impact if the second software can obtain data from the one or more websites;
said first RPA program issues an alert accessible to the second software if the comparison indicates that the website data used by the second software may be accessible in a different way than indicated by the known data;
the first RPA program adapted to receive a response from the second software indicative if accessibility of the website data has changed, wherein the computer updates the known data;
the known data is indicative of a model of at least one of the one or more websites, the model indicates where the website data used by the second software is stored based on a prior retrieval of website data by the second software, the first RPA program performs the comparison by accessing the website data to determine modeled website data indicative of a second model of the at least one of the one or more websites, the comparison determines if the model and the second model are different;
wherein the alert is indicative of differences between the model and the second model;
wherein the first RPA program is adapted to receive a response from the second software indicating the differences do not impact the ability of the second software to obtain data.
