Where are your web scripts expecting to get their data?   The solution to your problem is to probably to deploy your missing content rather than trying to second guess what has been deployed.

But if you really do need to work out what has been deployed you can.
On the authoring server you can either look at the "deployment report" or inject your own code to monitor deployment.
On the FSR side you could have a post deployment callback that saves the details in a format of your choosing.

The missing content will be deployed – eventually. The problem is, that there is a certain period of time, when the content has been submitted to the Staging Sandbox – and thus is visible through Web Scripts – but has not been deployed to the production server (i.e., the Apache Httpd). And this presents the problem of a dynamic pages (using Web Scripts) showing links to content that does not yet exist on the production server.

For this reason, I'd need some mechanism to determine in my Web Scripts whether an element has been deployed or not.
