USE CASE:
Australian companies and the cost of platform detection
The job on this page is platform detection for Australian companies, with the options first, ours included, and the recommendation at the end. We are Mamba Labs, we build Apify actors, and Ecommerce Platform Profiler is the one that does this for Australian companies.
Where this starts
Australian companies skew platform detection, for a reason specific to them. Australian companies file, publish and advertise under local rules that no global dataset models properly, which shapes platform detection. On Australian companies, platform detection rarely catches this: coverage from any vendor drops off a cliff outside the English speaking market. If you would rather try it than read about it, Ecommerce Platform Profiler does platform detection for Australian companies today.
What is at stake
If you sell to Australian companies, the platform decides what integrates, what the merchant can change without a developer, and what they already pay.
Traditional Search Tools
- The national company register, for Australian companies. Free, authoritative, and in its own language.
- Wappalyzer. A browser extension that answers this instantly and free for occasional use. It has an API and a list price when you want it in bulk.
- BuiltWith. Deeper history and lists of sites by technology, which is the reverse lookup and often the more useful direction. Priced as a data product.
- Store directories. The app stores of the major platforms publish merchant lists. A ready made list of confirmed users, for free.
- View source. Open the site, view source, search for the platform's signature. Thirty seconds if you know the signatures, and they are all documented publicly.
