Website Analyzer API — audits as JSON

Run the same website audit programmatically - technology detection, version currency and a Lighthouse-grade quality pass - scored, as JSON.

The Website Analyzer API runs the same audit the site runs — technology detection, version currency and a Lighthouse-grade quality pass — and hands the scored result back as JSON. It is how you pull a stack audit into your own tools instead of reading it in a browser, and it is available on every paid plan.

What the API returns

A single audit gives you:

  • The detected technology stack, with a version status per technology.
  • The Awesomeness Score and its sub-scores.
  • Known vulnerabilities and end-of-life technologies on the stack.
  • The Lighthouse-grade quality results behind the quality score.

An audit runs on request and takes a few minutes, so the API is a request/poll pair rather than a live feed.

Getting started

  1. Read the API documentation for the exact calls, parameters, response shape and error codes.
  2. Create an API key in your account (paid plans).
  3. Audit a URL and read the scored report straight into your own dashboards or CI.

The same audit is also exposed as an MCP server, so coding agents can score a stack, diff audits and read the AI-Readiness grade on their own.

Audit your own stack.

Enter a URL to score its technology, version health, performance - and AI-readiness.
