A User Agent (UA for short) is a combination of letters and numbers to make up a string to identify the program which is making a request to a web server, website or app, to get a document, an image or a web page. It is a standard segment of a web structure which is run by all web requests in HTTP headers. We are speaking about software to communicate with servers within a network. For example, a web browser that takes a web page from a server on the Internet and displays it. The UA acts as an intermediary between the user and the web server as if it was a human agent.
The UA integrates the HTTP header and is filled with data every time a request is made from a client, i.e. a browser, to a server, i.e. a web server. It carries data about the browser and the operating system of the user`s device. The UA is a computer program that represents a person or a browser in a Web context. A User Agent might be a bot that is scraping webpages, or a download manager or another app trying to access the Web. This can be done with the innocent intention to access, but it can also have fraudulent intentions. For this reason it is important to avoid UA spoofing where the string of data has been modified to furnish false information or to hide details. This would be the case of a bot, for example, making automated requests for content from a single device to alter the UA string and pretending that they come from different users.
For the reasons hinted above the market offers application programming interfaces (APIs) to process UA programmatically and automatically. Random User Agent API can stop data leakage. It replaces UA strings automatically after a certain period with a randomly selected one. UA strings can also be set manually, though, but with less reliability and efficiency.
Random User Agent API uses numbers to initialize the random number generator, and giving it a new seed value. It adds randomized transformation so as to select randomized sub-samples from a larger selection. Likewise, it randomly assigns and replaces materials. It features live previewing. All these functions are guaranteed as it is powered with Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning which give it accuracy of results and celerity of response. It is integrated with a suite of APIs by the same supplier (Agent Randomizer API, Scrape User Agent API, User Randomizer API, User-Agent Strings API, etc.) that allow the interaction between them to render the best solution in the market.
