Tools

Start an async tech-stack scan

Start an asynchronous tech-stack detection scan for a public domain. Detects the frontend frameworks, hosting and CDN infrastructure, CMS, analytics and growth tools, and customer engagement services in use. Returns sub-second with item: { id, status: "queued", createdAt, expiresAt } — poll GET /v1/tools/tech-stack/scans/{scanId} until status is completed or failed. Most scans complete in seconds; heavy-render sites can take up to ~90 seconds. Result and error payloads are persisted for 24h, after which the scan auto-deletes and GET returns 404. No project required. Suitable for ad-hoc competitive lookups, integration into onboarding flows, and pre-sales discovery — and the only supported shape for MCP clients (Cursor / Claude Desktop hardcode 60-second tool-call timeouts).
