## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Technology Stack Scanner — find what any website is built with

Scan any company website and get its technology stack: hosting, CDN, CMS, frameworks,
analytics, payment processors, support tools, email marketing, and more. A fast,
affordable BuiltWith / Wappalyzer alternative for sales prospecting and competitive
research, powered by [StartupHub.ai](https://www.startuphub.ai/tech-stack).

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `domains` | array of strings | Domains or URLs to scan, e.g. `stripe.com`, `https://vercel.com`. |
| `live` | boolean | Force a fresh live scan instead of cached data. Slower, most current. |

### Output (one dataset row per domain)

`domain`, `company_name`, `startuphub_url`, `source`, `hosting`, `cdn`, `cms`,
`email_provider`, `frameworks[]`, `analytics[]`, `payments[]`, `support[]`,
`email_marketing[]`, and `full_stack` (the complete readable fingerprint), plus a
`powered_by` / `web_tool` / `full_api` CTA footer.

### Setup

Add a `STARTUPHUB_API_KEY` environment variable (mark **Secret**) with a
`sk_live_...` key from https://www.startuphub.ai/my-account?tab=api.

### Suggested monetization

Pay-per-result at market parity (≈ $5 / 1,000 domains). For higher volume, monitoring,
and a 65M+ business-profile directory, use the StartupHub API directly.

Keywords: technology stack, BuiltWith alternative, Wappalyzer alternative, find
companies using Shopify / Stripe / HubSpot, tech lookup, sales prospecting,
competitive analysis.

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

One or more company domains or website URLs to scan (e.g. stripe.com, https://vercel.com).

## `live` (type: `boolean`):

When on, always run a fresh fingerprint instead of using cached StartupHub data. Slower, but most up to date.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "stripe.com",
    "notion.so"
  ],
  "live": false
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "domains": [
        "stripe.com",
        "notion.so"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("startuphub/tech-stack-scanner").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
