How the tool works

Builtwith: Lists operates by interfacing with the Builtwith API to fetch data about websites using specific technologies. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide on how it works:

1. Input Parameters:To get started, you need to provide two key pieces of information: your Builtwith API key and the name of the technology you are interested in. The API key can be obtained from the Builtwith website, and the technology name should be case-sensitive.

2. API Request:Once you have entered the required parameters, the tool constructs an API request to the Builtwith endpoint. The request URL is formatted to include your API key and the specified technology name. This ensures that the request is authenticated and targeted to the correct technology.

3. Fetching Data:The tool sends the API request and waits for a response from the Builtwith server. The server processes the request and returns a JSON object containing a list of websites that use the specified technology. This data includes various details about each website, such as its domain name and the technologies it employs.

4. Data Processing:Upon receiving the response, the tool processes the JSON data to extract relevant information. This step involves parsing the JSON object and organizing the data into a structured format that is easy to read and analyze.

5. Output:Finally, the processed data is presented to you in a user-friendly format. You can view the list of websites and use the information for your specific needs, whether it’s for market research, competitive analysis, or technology tracking.
