How can I know if a website is using apache, nginx or other and get this information in python? Thanks in advance

CodePudding user response：

This information if available is given in the header of the response to a HTTP Request. With Python you can perform HTTP requests using the module requests.

Make a simple GET request to the interested site and then print the headers parameter of the returned object.

import requests
r = requests.get(YOUR_SITE)
print(r.headers)

The output is made of a dictionary of keys and value, you have to look for the Server parameter

server = r.headers['Server']

You must be aware that not all websites return this information for several reasons, so you could not find this key in the response header.
