How It Works

The actor uses a dual-detection approach to maximize coverage:

1. Direct Website Analysis — Scans the live website HTML, JavaScript, HTTP headers, and meta tags to identify frontend technologies, analytics scripts, payment integrations, and more.

2. DNS & TXT Record Intelligence — Analyzes DNS records (MX, TXT, nameservers) to detect backend services, cloud providers, AI tools, collaboration platforms, and security configurations. This method works even when websites block scrapers (Cloudflare, Akamai WAF, etc.).

Both detection methods run simultaneously and results are merged into a single unified output.

Retry & Reliability

• Automatic retry with exponential backoff (3 attempts)
• Graceful handling of blocked/protected websites via DNS fallback
• Fine-tuned timeouts (5s connect, 60s read)

Use Cases

Lead Generation & Sales Prospecting

Identify companies using specific technologies to build targeted prospect lists. Find all Shopify stores, WooCommerce sites, or companies using Stripe payments.

Competitive Intelligence

Analyze competitor technology stacks to understand their infrastructure, analytics tools, advertising platforms, and payment providers.

Market Research

Map technology adoption across industries. Track which ecommerce platforms, CMS, and payment providers dominate specific markets.

Security Auditing

Verify SSL certificate validity, check email authentication (SPF/DMARC/DKIM), and assess security header configurations.

Agency Pitching

Audit a potential client's website technology before pitching services. Identify missing analytics, outdated CMS, or suboptimal payment integrations.

Investment Due Diligence

Evaluate a company's technical maturity through their technology stack, cloud infrastructure, and tooling choices.

Performance

• Response time: 1-5 seconds per domain (depending on website complexity)
• Dual detection: Direct scraping + DNS analysis for maximum coverage
• 61 output fields: Most comprehensive technology profiler available
• 22 technology categories: From ecommerce to AI tools
• Works on protected sites: DNS fallback ensures data even for WAF-blocked domains

FAQ

What's the difference between direct detection and DNS detection?

Direct detection scans the website's HTML and JavaScript to find technologies loaded in the browser. DNS detection analyzes domain records (TXT, MX, nameservers) to find services verified at the domain level — like cloud providers, AI tools, and collaboration platforms.

Does it work on Cloudflare-protected websites?

Yes. When direct scraping is blocked, the actor automatically falls back to DNS/TXT record analysis. You'll still get technology data, DNS records, SSL info, and domain verifications.

Can I scan multiple domains?

Yes! Enter up to 20 domains per run. All domains are scanned concurrently for fast results. Each domain gets its own row in the output dataset.

What format is the output?

JSON dataset with 61 fields. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or access via the Apify API.

Privacy
