Website DNS Scraper – Mail Provider & Tech Stack

This actor extracts a domain's technology stack, email provider, and DNS records. It's built for lead generation, domain analysis, and competitive intelligence.

Overview

The actor takes a website domain as input and returns structured data about its technical infrastructure. It identifies the technologies in use, the primary email service provider, and provides a full dump of common DNS records.

Key Features

• Technology Stack Detection: Returns a list of detected platforms and services (e.g., HubSpot, AWS, Zendesk, Webflow).
• Mail Provider Identification: Identifies the main email service (e.g., Google Workspace, Outlook).
• Complete DNS Records: Fetches and structures all major DNS record types:
  • A – IPv4 addresses.
  • NS – Nameservers.
  • SOA – Start of authority records.
  • MX – Mail exchange records.
  • TXT – Text records (SPF, DKIM, verifications).

How to Use

Provide the target domain as the actor's input. The actor will perform the DNS queries and technology lookups, returning a single JSON object with the results.

Input/Output

Input: A website domain (e.g., example.com).

Output: A JSON object containing the domain, tech stack, mail provider, and DNS records.

{
  "domain": "example.com",
  "tech_stack": ["google", "zendesk", "aws"],
  "mail_provider": "google.com",
  "all_dns_records": {
    "A": ["192.0.2.1"],
    "NS": ["ns1.example.com."],
    "SOA": ["..."],
    "MX": ["10 mail.example.com."],
    "TXT": ["\"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com -all\""]
  }
}

Use Cases

• Lead Enrichment: Identify a prospect's tech stack and email provider for targeted sales outreach.

• Competitive Analysis: See what technologies and hosting providers competitors use.
• Domain Troubleshooting: Gather all DNS records for migration or debugging purposes.
