# 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 the technology stack (frameworks, CMS, analytics, CDN, etc.) used by a given domain URL, returning confidence scores and evidence for each detected technology, paid per-call in USDC over x402.

## 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-ba96deda -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you detect what technologies calendly.com is using — I want to know the full stack including frontend frameworks, CMS, analytics tools, and CDN, with confidence scores for each hit?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-as-you-go technology fingerprinting with no API key or subscription required — ideal for one-off lookups, agentic workflows, or enriching CRM/sales data on demand. Particularly useful when you want confidence scores and evidence per technology rather than just a yes/no result. The optional 'previous' snapshot field makes it well-suited for change-detection workflows where you want to diff the current stack against a known baseline.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error or empty technology list
- Domain blocks automated scanning, resulting in partial or low-confidence results
- x402 payment failure causes request rejection before analysis begins
- Malformed 'previous' object (missing required fields) causes validation error
- Rate limiting or network timeouts on the target domain may reduce detection accuracy

## 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, analytics, framework), version if detectable, a confidence score, and supporting evidence. May also flag technologies no longer detected compared to a previously observed baseline.
