udger-nodejs

Udger client for NodeJS (data ver. 3)

Local parser is very fast and accurate useragent string detection solution. Enables developers to locally install and integrate a highly-scalable product. We provide the detection of the devices (personal computer, tablet, Smart TV, Game console etc.), operating system, client SW type (browser, e-mail client etc.) and devices market name (example: Sony Xperia Tablet S, Nokia Lumia 820 etc.). It also provides information about IP addresses (Public proxies, VPN services, Tor exit nodes, Fake crawlers, Web scrapers, Datacenter name .. etc.)

  • Tested with more the 50.000 unique user agents.
  • Up to date data provided by https://udger.com/

Requirements

Features

  • Fast
  • LRU cache
  • Released under the MIT

Install

npm install udger-nodejs

Usage

You should review the included examples in examples/ and test/ directory.

Here's a quick example:

const udgerParser = require('udger-nodejs')('./udgerdb_v3.dat');

udgerParser.set({
    ua:'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36',
    ip:'2A02:598:7000:116:0:0:0:101'
});

let ret = udgerParser.parse();

// beautify json output with 4 spaces indent
console.log(JSON.stringify(ret, null, 4));

Result

LRU Cache

By default, cache is disable. To enable cache, just add this line BEFORE using udgerParser.set():

// by default, cache size is 4000 keys (a key can be an UA, or UA+IP)
// you can modify this limit
udgerParser.setCacheSize(1000);
udgerParser.setCacheEnable(true)

When a record is coming from the cache, the "from_cache" attribute in the response is "true"
