Tracking the technologies behind websites manually is slow, unreliable, and difficult to compare over time. Without proper tooling, it’s nearly impossible to notice when things change.
This workflow gives you a structured way to keep records of tech stacks, consistently and at scale.
With n8n and a Website Technology Detection API, you can extract the tools a website runs on and log them in a clean, time-stamped Google Sheet.
What does this workflow do?
- Triggered via a webhook where you provide the target website URL (including http/https)
- Uses a tech detection API to identify technologies (CMS, frontend frameworks, analytics tools, etc.)
- Parses and structures the results
- Sends all data to a Google Sheet, including:
- Website URL
- Detected technologies
- Timestamp of the check
- Enables comparison over time by storing historical entries, even if the same site is checked multiple times
Ideal for technical audits, competitive research, or monitoring changes across your own projects.
