Ask HN: Recommended technographic API?

Does anyone know of any good technographic APIs? I run a dev consultancy and basically want to know what tech stack they currently use (ie what they use for CI/CD or security), so it can help me prepare when i talk to a prospect. I know Builtwith is the leader in this space but i feel its lacking a bit when it comes to finding tech that isnt front end or JS focused.

I’ve tried using the Anthropic API but most of the time it seems to give me hallucinated results (based on the results for companies I know their tech stack)

Ideally something that doesnt cost an arm and an leg :)

I built Bloomberry which specializes in just this. You can pass in a company domain and it returns a list of technologies/products we detect that org uses (especially backend/backoffice ones like devops, security, CRMs like Hubspot). I think this fits your use case.

Alternatively, you can pass in a specific technology (ie Github) and we return companies we detected that use it. But this is more for prospecting, not enrichment.

Agreed that Builtwith, in general isnt as good for this. Its more for finding out what technologies a website uses, not what they are using on the backend.

I dont think our API costs an arm/leg, but you should give it a try to see how well it works for your use case.

Just give the page to chatgpt and ask what they use. Give them as much info as you can.
