The following examples show how to use the Microlink API with CLI, cURL, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP & Golang, targeting 'https://microlink.io' URL with 'insights' API parameter:

### CLI Microlink API example

```
microlink https://microlink.io&insights.technologies
```

### cURL Microlink API example

```
curl -G "https://api.microlink.io" \
  -d "url=https://microlink.io" \
  -d "insights.technologies=true"
```

### JavaScript Microlink API example

```
import mql from '@microlink/mql'

const { data } = await mql('https://microlink.io', {
  insights: {
    technologies: true
  }
})
```

### Python Microlink API example

```
import requests

url = "https://api.microlink.io/"

querystring = {
    "url": "https://microlink.io",
    "insights.technologies": "true"
}

response = requests.get(url, params=querystring)

print(response.json())
```

### Ruby Microlink API example

```
require 'uri'
require 'net/http'

base_url = "https://api.microlink.io/"

params = {
  url: "https://microlink.io",
  insights.technologies: "true"
}

uri = URI(base_url)
uri.query = URI.encode_www_form(params)

http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
response = http.request(request)

puts response.body
```

### PHP Microlink API example

```
<?php

$baseUrl = "https://api.microlink.io/";

$params = [
    "url" => "https://microlink.io",
    "insights.technologies" => "true"
];

$query = http_build_query($params);
$url = $baseUrl . '?' . $query;

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, [
    CURLOPT_URL => $url,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET"
]);

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
    echo "cURL Error #: " . $err;
} else {
    echo $response;
}
```

### Golang Microlink API example

```
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
    "net/url"
    "io"
)

func main() {
    baseURL := "https://api.microlink.io"

    u, err := url.Parse(baseURL)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    q := u.Query()
    q.Set("url", "https://microlink.io")
    q.Set("insights.technologies", "true")
    u.RawQuery = q.Encode()

    req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", u.String(), nil)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    client := &http.Client{}
    resp, err := client.Do(req)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()

    body, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    fmt.Println(string(body))
}
```

    import mql from '@microlink/mql'

    const { data } = await mql('https://microlink.io', {
      insights: {
        technologies: true
      }
    })

A detected technology is defined by:

- `name` (e.g., 'CloudFlare')\
  The normalized name of the techonlogy.
- `confidence` (e.g., 100)\
  How sure technology is present on the site, scoring from 0 to 100.
- `logo` (e.g., 'https://www.wappalyzer.com/images/icons/CloudFlare.svg')\
  The technology logo as URL.
- `logo` (e.g., 'http://www.cloudflare.com')\
  The main website of the technology.
- `categories` (e.g., \['PaaS', 'CDN'\])\
  A list of keywords identified with similar technologies.

The output can contain one or more technologies detected.
