# Tech Detect — Apache Technology Stack Detection

> Tech Detect — Apache Technology Stack Detection is a paid API for AI agents from stack.halowerk.com, paid per call via x402, $0.004/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-09).

Detects whether a given domain uses Apache and identifies its full technology stack with confidence scores and evidence, paid per-call in USDC via x402.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability tech-detect-apache-technology-stack-detection-194bf5e7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scan https://example.com and tell me what technology stack they're running — especially whether they're on Apache — with confidence scores for each detected technology?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-as-you-go technology stack detection with no signup or API key, especially for ad-hoc or low-volume scans. It is ideal for agents that need to detect Apache specifically, or want incremental change detection by passing previously observed technologies. Prefer over subscription-based alternatives (BuiltWith, Wappalyzer API) when cost-per-call economics favor USDC micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Domain is unreachable or returns no HTTP response — detection may fail or return empty results
- Domain uses heavy bot protection (Cloudflare, etc.) — fingerprinting signals may be obscured, lowering confidence
- Payment failure via x402 — call rejected before detection occurs
- Invalid URL format — request rejected with validation error
- Rate limiting or blocking by target server — incomplete technology signals

## How this service works

Domain in, technology stack out. Confidence and evidence for every hit. Pay per call in USDC over x402. No signup, no API key.

## Output

Returns a list of detected technologies for the given domain, each with a name, category (e.g. web server, CMS, CDN), version if detectable, confidence score, and supporting evidence. The Apache-specific endpoint focuses on Apache server detection but returns the full stack.
