Detection Methods

CronDB detects technologies through:

1. HTML analysis — Script tags, meta tags, CSS references
2. HTTP headers — Server headers, X-Powered-By
3. JavaScript globals — Window objects and framework signatures
4. DNS records — MX records, TXT records, CNAME entries
5. SSL certificates — Certificate issuer information
6. Cookie patterns — Known technology-specific cookies

Errors

Status	Detail	Cause
400	Invalid domain format	Domain is malformed
401	Invalid API key	Authentication failed
404	Domain not found	Domain not in CronDB database
429	Rate limit exceeded	Too many requests

Notes

• Each tech stack request counts as 1 API query
• Technology detection is updated periodically (see last_detected)
• Categories may have a single string (one technology) or an array (multiple)
• A null value means no technology was detected in that category
• CronDB tracks over 1,500 distinct technologies across all categories
