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.
