Detect a Website's Booking and Payment Tools with an API

A website can contain an old vendor name without using that vendor anymore. That makes a plain search through its HTML a poor way to choose a customer integration.

Lookup returns the evidence behind detected booking, payment and other business tools. A vendor script referenced in the HTML supplies a different signal from a passing mention in page text. The result keeps the confidence label and supporting URL together so you can inspect both.

This is useful for a first pass through a list of client websites. Confirm the findings with each client before connecting their accounts. Missing results need care too: the software might be on another page or visible only after JavaScript runs.

The API reads one public HTML page per request and doesn't execute JavaScript. You supply an API key, a page URL and a request identifier. Repeat that identifier with the same URL to retrieve the saved response without another credit charge.

Make a lookup

Create an account, generate an API key in the dashboard, and keep the key on your server. This example reads the public page you supply:

curl https://lookup.voltenworks.com/api/v1/lookup \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOKUP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: client-check-001" \
  --data '{"url":"https://example.com"}'

The response has a findings array. Each finding includes name, category, confidence and evidence. An evidence entry includes its channel, page and value. The coverage object states that the scan reads one page without executing JavaScript. An empty findings array is a valid result; it doesn't establish that the business uses no software.

Use a new request identifier when you want a fresh scan. Reusing one retrieves the saved result for that URL, even if the website has changed since the original request.

Try it on websites you know

The free account includes 25 credits. Use them on websites you know, compare the findings with the tools actually present, and check whether the evidence is useful for your workflow.

A completed scan uses one credit, including scans with no matches. Failed scans return the reserved credit. Occasional use can use a $9 pack of 500 credits. The $19 monthly plan includes 2,000 credits per paid period. Purchased credits don't expire; unused monthly credits expire at the end of the period.
