Competitive Technology Analysis
Understand competitor tech stacks for strategic decisions
Understanding what technologies competitors use helps inform product decisions, identify market trends, and discover potential partnership opportunities.
The Challenge
Manual technology research is slow and incomplete. Competitors don't advertise their tech stack, making it difficult to understand their infrastructure choices and capabilities.
The Solution
Use EdgeDNS technology detection APIs to automatically identify frameworks, CMS platforms, analytics tools, CDNs, and hosting providers used by any website.
Endpoints Used
Combine these EdgeDNS endpoints to build this solution.

Code Example
Analyze competitor technology stacks
const competitors = ['competitor1.com', 'competitor2.com', 'competitor3.com'];
const techStacks = await Promise.all(
competitors.map(async (domain) => {
const response = await fetch(
`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/domain/tech?domain=${domain}`,
{ headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' } }
);
return response.json();
})
);
// Find common technologies
const allTech = techStacks.flatMap(t => t.data.technologies);
const techCounts = allTech.reduce((acc, tech) => {
acc[tech.name] = (acc[tech.name] || 0) + 1;
return acc;
}, {});Learn More
