What this pulls

Website Tech Stack Detector identifies the technologies a website runs on, such as its CMS, ecommerce platform, JavaScript framework, analytics, CDN and hosting, with categories and a confidence score for each. Paid plans add detected versions, CPE identifiers and a rendered mode that runs the page's JavaScript.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 30 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

One value per row

Fill =VERVE("techstackdetector", "https://wordpress.org", "field", "finalUrl") down a column and Website Tech Stack Detector returns a result for every row — a batch of live values in a single drag, no code.

Enrich data in place

Add Website Tech Stack Detector beside a table you already have to append its output right where your data lives, then sort, filter, or chart on it.

Stays fresh on its own

Set the sheet to refresh on a schedule and the website tech stack detector values keep themselves current without anyone re-typing.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("techstackdetector", "https://wordpress.org", "field", "finalUrl")
Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("techstackdetector", "https://wordpress.org", "field", "finalUrl")
Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

    Load the page in a headless browser first, to find technologies added by JavaScript and read JavaScript globals. Slower

    =VERVE("techstackdetector", "https://wordpress.org", "render", "true")
Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Website Tech Stack Detector, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Website Tech Stack Detector into Google Sheets?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("techstackdetector", "https://wordpress.org", "field", "finalUrl") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.
What data can I pull from Website Tech Stack Detector?
Website Tech Stack Detector returns finalUrl, statusCode, mode, technologyCount and technologies, plus 6 more — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.
Can I narrow what Website Tech Stack Detector returns?
Yes — Website Tech Stack Detector takes "render" as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("techstackdetector", "https://wordpress.org", "render", "true") shapes the result without changing anything else.
Which Website Tech Stack Detector fields need a paid plan?
technologies.0.version is included from the Starter plan up. On the Free plan the cell returns #PREMIUM(field) rather than a wrong or empty value, so it's always obvious which one to upgrade for. Every other field works on Free.
Can I fill a whole column of Website Tech Stack Detector at once?
Yes. Put your url values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.
How many credits does each Website Tech Stack Detector cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 30 credits. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.
Does Website Tech Stack Detector work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
How current is Website Tech Stack Detector?
It draws on 7,000+ technologies, served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.
