# Technologies

## Find technologies

Search Sumble's technology catalog by name. Returns up to 50 technologies whose names match the query, ranked by exact-name match first and then by how many organizations mention the technology across jobs and people.

Each result includes the technology `slug` (the canonical identifier you can pass to other API endpoints, such as organization filters), the display `name`, and a `count` of organizations that mention it. The response also returns `total_count` — the total number of matching technologies in the catalog, which may exceed the 50 rows returned.

Use this endpoint to look up valid technology slugs before calling endpoints that accept a technology filter.

### Credit cost

1 credit per request that returns at least one technology. Requests with no matches do not consume credits.
