mhwgoo/fake_user_agent
Randomly generate a valid useragent for faking a browser.
This tool helps developers and testers avoid detection when performing automated web scraping or testing. It takes a simple command or function call and outputs a realistic, randomly generated user agent string, making automated requests appear as if they're coming from a real web browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Web scraping practitioners and QA engineers frequently use this to mimic human browsing behavior.
No commits in the last 6 months.
Use this if you need to make automated web requests or run automated browser tests without being easily identified and blocked by websites.
Not ideal if you need a specific, fixed user agent string for all your requests, or if your primary goal is not web scraping or automated testing.
