Website Change Detection
Website change detection allows interested parties to be alerted when a website has changed. A web crawler can periodically traverse a website to see if any changes have occurred since its last visit. Reasons to track website changes include:
- Enhanced automations
- Triggering in Event-driven programming
- Updating dependent automations (such as screen scraping programs)
- Link rot mitigation
- Change trend monitoring
- Triggering human actions
- Analyst classifications
- Updating documentation
- Competitive monitoring
- Compliance monitoring
- Enforcement monitoring
- Investigation monitoring
