Frequently asked questions

No. The name parameter is case-insensitive. shopify, Shopify, and SHOPIFY all match the same technology. Names with spaces or special characters should be URL-encoded (e.g., Google%20Analytics).
The response returns "exists": false with a null technology field. You won’t get a 404 error. The endpoint always returns HTTP 200, and you check the exists boolean in the response to determine if a match was found.
Use this endpoint when you know the exact technology name and need a quick, precise match (1 credit). Use the search endpoint (GET /v1/technologies) when you need fuzzy matching across names and categories or want to browse available technologies.
