# Tech Detect — Technology Stack Detection via x402

> Tech Detect — Technology Stack Detection via x402 is a paid API for AI agents from stack.halowerk.com, paid per call via x402, $0.004/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-13).

Detects and identifies the technology stack of a given domain or URL, returning confidence scores and evidence for each detected technology, paid per call in USDC over x402.

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-technology-stack-detection-via-x402-3edbe8e8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scan shopify.com and tell me what technologies it's running — I want to know the full stack with confidence scores for each hit, including any previous observations from last week?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, per-call technology fingerprinting of a specific domain without committing to a subscription or managing API keys. It is ideal for agents that need on-demand stack detection for arbitrary URLs, competitive intelligence pipelines, sales enrichment workflows, or security recon tasks. The x402 pay-per-call model makes it cost-efficient for sporadic lookups. Prefer this over bulk crawling services when you need confidence scores and evidence per technology rather than just a list.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — detection may be incomplete or return empty results
- Domain uses heavy anti-bot protections — may reduce detection coverage
- Invalid or malformed URL input — returns validation error
- Payment failure over x402 — call is rejected before processing
- Previous observations schema mismatch — ignored or causes input validation error
- Site uses obfuscated or minified assets — version detection may be null

## 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 structured list of detected technologies for the given domain, each with a name, category (e.g. CMS, CDN, JavaScript framework), version where detectable, a confidence score, and supporting evidence. The response covers the full observable technology stack of the target URL.
