## A real example

Tested on 2026-10-30 through BuiltWith.

We looked up stripe.com. BuiltWith returned 1,069 technology names across 177 pages and subdomains.

Your agent asked: Look up the full technology profile of stripe.com

Returned in this test:

- Last detected in October: React, CloudFront, Fastly CDN, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Algolia, Contentful
- Technologies listed: 1,069 names across 177 pages and subdomains
- Per technology: Name, tag, first and last detected dates
- Company: Stripe, LLC, finance
- Tag groups: 30, including payment, analytics, hosting and CDN

Charged in this test: $0.055.

One domain, one lookup. The list includes past detections with their dates.


## Try the API request

Use your TaskFuel API key as TASKFUEL_API_KEY in your terminal or server. Keep it out of browser code.

### 1. Check the price

This request checks the price without paying. These are the exact inputs of the BuiltWith lookup. LIVEONLY was set, and the response still listed older detections with their last-detected dates.

```sh
curl --fail-with-body https://app.taskfuel.ai/v1/call \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TASKFUEL_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-binary @- <<'TASKFUEL_REQUEST'
{
  "url": "https://builtwith.mpp.paywithlocus.com/builtwith/domain",
  "method": "POST",
  "body": {
    "LOOKUP": "stripe.com",
    "NOPII": "1",
    "LIVEONLY": "1"
  },
  "dryRun": true
}
TASKFUEL_REQUEST
```

### 2. Run the request

Review amount_usd in the quote. To pay and run, change dryRun to false and add maxAmountUsd with that approved amount inside the same JSON object. Keep the inputs unchanged; this limit applies to one call.

### 3. Read the result

Read data.Results[0].Result.Paths[].Technologies[]: Name, Tag, FirstDetected and LastDetected, as milliseconds since 1970. data.Results[0].Meta holds company details.

## Connect your agent

Read the [setup guide](https://taskfuel.ai/docs/setup/) and choose the connection your agent supports.

Use one TaskFuel account and prepaid balance. Inspect the provider and request quote before a paid call, then review the returned response and recorded charge.



## When to use it

### See a prospect’s technology at a glance.

Ask your agent for the technology profile of a company’s website, with first and last detected dates for each item.

### Look beyond the website.

Findymail’s lookup lists the tools a company uses, such as cloud services and analytics, grouped into categories.

### See when a technology first appeared.

BuiltWith lists a first and last detected date for every technology it finds, so an agent can tell new additions from old ones.




## Questions

### Is BuiltWith available through TaskFuel?

Yes. Your agent pays from your TaskFuel balance, so there is nothing else to sign up for. BuiltWith is available next to Findymail, and the exact request and charge are shown in the example.

### What does a BuiltWith lookup cost?

Our BuiltWith lookup cost $0.055 and the Findymail lookup $0.07 on 30 October 2026. BuiltWith’s own plans start at $295 a month, as published that day. Your agent shows the price for your own request before it pays.

### Is it the same data as BuiltWith?

The BuiltWith tools return BuiltWith data. Findymail returns its own list of company technologies, so the results differ.

### Can I check a technology across many sites?

BuiltWith offers technology lists on its own plans. Our tests covered single-domain lookups.

### Can I look up one site for free?

BuiltWith lets you look up individual sites on its website for free. TaskFuel returns the lookup as data for an agent.
