Developing an API

10/26/2017

It looks like it might be time to develop an API for WhatCMS.org. There have been a few request from users and we've been seeing usage grow consistently where we now think an API would be benefit everyone. There's no timeline or details yet so stay tuned for more info.

Now With 225 Systems

10/22/2017
We've been pushing over the past few days to add more content management system to our detection service. We now have 225 with more to come.

Perch Added to Detections

10/20/2017
We just added detection methods for Perch. Detection rates and popular sites will be displayed updated on this page.

Up To 195 Systems

9/25/2017
In our continued efforts to be the best CMS detection service available, we've added some more detections bringing our total to 195. With all these detection methods we've also been beefing up our quality control to make sure we're not giving you inaccurate results. Stay tuned for more improvements.

192 Systems

9/17/2017
We've added a number of more detection methods and we're up to 192 systems. Still more to come!

CMS Added: Craft CMS

9/10/2017
Not sure how Craft CMS escaped us for so long. It has a significant market share and we should have added it a long time ago.

CMS Added: E+ CMS

9/10/2017
We just added detection methods for E+ CMS. E+ is another smaller content management system but appears to have a large enough user base to justify including in our detection methods.

CMS Added: Mintox

9/10/2017
We just added another CMS to our system. Mintox bills itself as an Adaptive e-Business platform and doesn't appear to have a large user base yet but who knows what we'll find.

Updated Crawler and Second Server

9/10/2017
We were noticing some CMS detections weren't working simply because we weren't getting responses from the site we were checking. After some digging around and debugging we came up with two solutions. The first was simple:  add a second server to increase our redundancy. The second solution was to fix a few http protocol bug/issues we found while we were debugging. We just implemented these changes so we don't have any significant numbers about improved detection rates yet but we're confident they will both make our service more reliable.

Detection History Graphs

9/8/2017
We just added some graphs to show the detection history of each CMS. It's a nice visualization of how often we're seeing each application. In the future, I'd like to add some additional visualization tools including the ability to compare the trends of multiple applications.
