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-ef848b28 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What technology stack is https://example.com running? I need to know the frameworks, CMS, analytics tools, and any icon libraries detected, with confidence scores for each.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need per-call, no-signup technology fingerprinting of a domain with structured confidence and evidence output, paid in USDC via x402. Ideal for agents that need on-demand tech stack intelligence without committing to a subscription, or when budget control per lookup matters. Prefer over scraping-based alternatives when you need categorized, versioned technology data with confidence signals rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error or empty technology list
- Domain blocks scanners or returns no detectable signals, yielding low-confidence or empty results
- Payment failure via x402 results in request rejection before scanning occurs
- Rate limiting or timeout if the target domain is slow to respond
- Malformed input schema (missing required fields) returns a 400-level error

## 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. CMS, CDN, JavaScript framework), version if detectable, confidence score, and supporting evidence. Optionally compares against a previously observed snapshot to highlight changes.
