TechLookup

Find websites using a technology

Given a technology name, returns how many sites run it worldwide, its category, and its top countries by site count. Optionally include the matching website list with websites=true. Deducts 1 Bulk Lookup Credit only when the lookup finds data.

Rate limit: 500 requests per minute, counted per API token. Going over returns 429 with error_code: rate_limited and a Retry-After header in seconds. A 429 costs no credits. Traffic is also subject to a higher shared ceiling per network address, applied before authentication.
