Introducing StackLens: A Powerful API for Detecting Website Technology Stacks

In today’s web development landscape, understanding the underlying technology behind a website can provide valuable insights for developers, SEO specialists, and digital strategists alike. To facilitate this process, I’m excited to share a project I recently developed: StackLens, an API designed to identify the technology stack of any website with just a single HTTP request.

What is StackLens?

StackLens is a lightweight, user-friendly API that scans a website’s publicly accessible data to determine the content management system (CMS), e-commerce solutions, analytics tools, and other technologies in use. Whether you’re conducting competitor analysis, verifying tech requirements, or simply exploring the web, StackLens aims to streamline this process.

How Does It Work?

Built with the goal of enhancing API development skills, StackLens offers a straightforward integration method. By making one simple API call, users receive detailed information about the website’s tech stack — saving time compared to manual inspection or using bulk scanning tools.

Access and Plans

To support various user needs, StackLens provides a free tier allowing up to 50 lookups per day, perfect for small projects, testing, or learning purposes. For larger-scale requirements, paid plans are available, offering increased capacity and additional features.

Give It a Try!

I invite fellow developers and tech enthusiasts to explore StackLens and share feedback. Your insights and suggestions can help improve its features and usability. If you’re interested, you can check out the API on RapidAPI through this link: StackLens API on RapidAPI.

Thank you for taking the time to check out this project. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and seeing how StackLens can assist in your web development journey!
