The Hunter team stroke again! Great product to find companies using specific technologies and their employees' email addresses. Good job ;)

Thanks for hunting us Nicolas 😊 With Hunter, we get to crawl millions of pages per day. We thought it would be great to share for free some of the data we come across. With TechLookup you can generate lists based on technologies and download for free thousands of results. Over the next few weeks, we'll add new filters and other features. Any feedback is highly welcomed 👍
Wish I don't have to deal with captcha after signing in.

I agree, and it's definitely on the short term roadmap.
Great product as usual, congratulation to the team :)
How are you collecting the website technology data? Is the Hunter chrome plugin sending the data back to you anonymously?
Maker
Hi! The crawl is made by our own crawlers, the same crawlers we use for Hunter.
Nice work Hunter team! Engineering marketing at it's finest 👌 How is the marketing automation tech identified? Guessing form action attributes (Mailchimp) then scripts for the rest?
Maker
Thanks Josh! And you're right, it's a perfect case of Engineering marketing 😇 Regarding the detection, we use both regular expressions on the HTML and look for initialized variables once the page has loaded. We packaged the detection into a container that is 100% open source. Check it out here:
BOOOM! Seems awesome, congrats guys 🙌
Congrats on the launch! Neat product 👏
What's this like in terms of accuracy? I've just ran a test for Demandware that sprung up Wordpress sites.

Hey Martin! We're using regular expressions to find the technologies used. The results should be pretty reliable but if you find some errors, I would love to hear about them:
Are you using wapalyzers regular expression or your own?
Looks good. Whats the source of data?
Maker
The data is exclusively ours! We do all the crawling ourselves.
Great job you guys have done. Simple & Minimalistic Approach.

Thanks Vivek 🤗
Good stuff & team, thank you for another fantastic tool! However, I wonder what happened in the past couple of months, that made you change your mind and release it free instead of premium (from blog.hunter.io: "The generation of lists will be one of our rare premium features"). Would you be able to shed some light on that? I'm curious what's the story behind.
Maker
Hey Lukasz! That's a great question, and we'll most likely add a post on our blog to explain exactly why we did the change. The short version is that users of Hunter didn't often need this data. At the same time, it would have been handy for lots of people that didn't need Hunter. So we decided to split the two and provide TechLookup as a free service 😊
There can be addition of feature, if some website have android app or ios app could be filter it would be great.
Maker
It's a great idea and actually... we already have the data available! I'll share this with the team. Thanks!
