Apify Website Tech Stack Detector (n8n Workflow) from URLs

Detect the Tech Stack Behind Any URL—Automatically (Apify + n8n)

With this n8n workflow, you can run Apify’s Website Tech Stack Detector against a list of URLs to identify technologies (e.g., CMS, frameworks, analytics, hosting). It then returns cleaned JSON results and forwards them to your chosen destination—fully automated and ready for daily use.

What this workflow does

• Runs on a schedule or on demand: the workflow triggers daily at 07:00, or you can start it manually to test.
• Calls Apify’s actor synchronously: it sends a POST request to Apify’s API to run transparent_meteorite/website-tech-stack-detector for your configured list of urls.
• Collects detector results: it retrieves the actor’s dataset items as cleaned JSON in the same response.
• Enriches each record: the workflow adds a _source field to label where the data came from.
• Forwards to your destination: results are passed to a placeholder step where you can connect tools like Google Sheets, Slack, or a CRM (as configured in your n8n instance).

Use cases

• Competitive research: scan competitor websites to map likely CMS, frameworks, analytics, and hosting providers.
• Lead qualification: enrich prospect URLs with technology signals before outreach or scoring.
• Website auditing: track tech stack changes over time by rerunning the detector daily.
• Ops visibility: consolidate detected technologies into your internal systems for reporting.

Technical details

• n8n nodes used: set, no op, sticky note, HTTP Request, Manual Trigger, Schedule Trigger.
• Apify integration: configure an n8n HTTP Header Auth credential with Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_API_TOKEN>.
• Actor call: runs transparent_meteorite/website-tech-stack-detector via the Apify API with your urls list (and optional inputs like concurrency).

Perfect if you want an Apify Website Tech Stack Detector workflow in n8n for reliable, repeatable URL-to-tech-stack detection.
