# Get technology info (extended) API

> Get extended details for a technology including description, official website, icon URL, and group information. Use the technology ID from a name lookup.

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How do I find a technology's ID?">
    Use `GET /v1/technology/name/{name}` to look up any technology by name and get its ID. For example, searching for "React" returns ID 268. The name lookup is case-insensitive and costs 1 credit.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What extra data does this return compared to the basic name lookup?">
    The extended info endpoint returns the technology's description, official website URL, icon URL, primary category ID, primary group ID, category name, and group name. The basic name lookup (`GET /v1/technology/name/{name}`) only returns the ID, name, and category.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does this endpoint return domain counts?">
    No. For domain counts and adoption statistics, use `GET /v1/technology/{id}/stats`. For monthly usage trends over time, use `GET /v1/technology/{id}/history`. This endpoint focuses on metadata about the technology itself.
