# Compare CMS, ecommerce and analytics across 3 public websites

**Use case:** 

Compare 3 websites for agency prospect research; export CSV and inspect errors and analysisWarnings. Static detection; empty fields are not proof of absence. Listed event cost for 3 successful sites: $0.014 ($0.005/start + $0.003/site). Run compute is included; post-run data access can incur platform fees.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Website Technology Detector (Wappalyzer Alternative)](https://apify.com/datalantern/tech-stack-detector.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/datalantern/tech-stack-detector.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
