Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about installing, operating and extending SpyOnWeb.
What data sources does SpyOnWeb use?
The application collects data directly from the domains you request, performing DNS lookups, downloading ads.txt and analysing the public HTML to identify Analytics, AdSense and infrastructure fingerprints.
Can I run it on regular shared hosting?
Yes. SpyOnWeb is built for PHP 8.1+ with MySQL 8+. No additional services are required. The installer guides you through configuration and the admin area handles scraping and data review.
How accurate are the correlations?
Results depend on the signals available. Shared hosting or CDN usage may introduce overlaps. Use the output as investigative leads and combine it with your own enrichment.
Does it support automation?
You can generate API keys from the admin panel and call the JSON endpoints programmatically. CLI scripts are included for batch scraping when shell access is available.
How do I keep data fresh?
Schedule periodic scrapes for important domains from the admin interface, or wire the API into your own jobs. Each run updates IP history and identifiers so you can track change over time.
