When you're gathering information from websites, this tool helps you appear like a regular web browser to avoid detection. It takes your standard web requests and automatically assigns a different, random 'identity' each time. This is useful for anyone who scrapes public web data and wants to blend in more effectively.

No commits in the last 6 months. Available on PyPI.

Use this if you are developing web scraping tools and need to make your automated requests appear less suspicious to websites.

Not ideal if you need to consistently identify your application with a specific, unchanging User-Agent.
