What it does
Give the node one or more websites and it returns one item per detected technology: name, category memberships, a traffic-rank signal, an icon URL, and when it was confirmed. It detects frameworks, CMSs, CDNs, analytics tools, e-commerce platforms, web servers, and other web technologies. It also works as an AI Agent tool, so an agent can answer questions like "what CMS does example.com use?" on demand. Good for lead generation, competitive analysis, market research, and security/compliance inventories.
- Analyze one website or a whole list at once, one row per detected technology
- Full URLs or bare domains accepted (missing scheme defaults to
https://) - Choose how much data to return per result: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields

- In n8n, open Settings > Community Nodes.
