Shovel is a tool to help you dig into the details of a website. Think of it as `dig` or `nslookup`, but way better, plus a splash of `BuiltWith`.

We developed it at Buttondown to help us understand the technical details of our customers' websites, and we are excited to share it with you.

How to use it

You can ask basic questions like "what domain records and technologies are used by Vercel?":

shovel.report/domain/vercel.com

You can also retrieve this information programmatically, and get a JSON response (though at the moment, the API is neither stable nor documented):

shovel.report/api/v1/domain/vercel.com

Or you can ask more complex questions, like "what domains are using both Mailgun and Cloudflare?":

shovel.report/technology/cloudflare/and/mailgun
