Dependency

Installation

$ npm i wappalyzer

Usage

const Wappalyzer = require('wappalyzer')

const url = 'https://www.wappalyzer.com'

const options = {
  debug: false,
  delay: 500,
  headers: {},
  maxDepth: 3,
  maxUrls: 10,
  maxWait: 5000,
  recursive: true,
  probe: true,
  proxy: false,
  userAgent: 'Wappalyzer',
  htmlMaxCols: 2000,
  htmlMaxRows: 2000,
  noScripts: false,
  noRedirect: false,
};

const wappalyzer = new Wappalyzer(options)

;(async function() {
  try {
    await wappalyzer.init()

    // Optionally set additional request headers
    const headers = {}

    // Optionally set local and/or session storage
    const storage = {
      local: {}
      session: {}
    }

    const site = await wappalyzer.open(url, headers, storage)

    // Optionally capture and output errors
    site.on('error', console.error)

    const results = await site.analyze()

    console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, 2))
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error)
  }

  await wappalyzer.destroy()
})()

Multiple URLs can be processed in parallel:

const Wappalyzer = require('wappalyzer');

const urls = ['https://www.wappalyzer.com', 'https://www.example.com']

const wappalyzer = new Wappalyzer()

;(async function() {
  try {
    await wappalyzer.init()

    const results = await Promise.all(
      urls.map(async (url) => ({
        url,
        results: await wappalyzer.open(url).analyze()
      }))
    )

    console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, 2))
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error)
  }

  await wappalyzer.destroy()
})()
