The Problem
When you're doing sales prospecting, competitor research, or lead generation, one of the most tedious tasks is manually visiting each company's website to figure out:
- What tech stack do they use?
- What's their company logo for your CRM?
- Where are they on social media?
- How do I contact them?
The Solution
I built a simple API that takes a domain name and returns all this data automatically. Let me walk you through how it works.
How It Works
-
Input: A company domain name (e.g.,
example.com) - Process: The scraper visits the website, analyzes its HTML, headers, and scripts
- Output: Tech stack detection, company logo URL, social profiles, contact info, and industry classification
Tech Stack Detection
The API uses pattern matching against 50+ known indicators:
- Framework-specific meta tags and script patterns
- CDN and hosting headers
- Analytics and tracking scripts
- CMS signatures
Logo Extraction
Multiple fallback strategies:
- Open Graph image tags
- Apple touch icons
- JSON-LD structured data
- Clearbit API fallback
API Usage
import requests
response = requests.post(
"https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/technicaldost~company-intelligence-api/run-sync",
json={"domains": ["example.com"]}
)
data = response.json()
print(data["techStack"], data["logo"])
Why I Built This
As someone who builds web scrapers and automation tools, I found myself repeatedly writing the same domain-analysis code for different projects. This API consolidates all that into one endpoint.
