Automatically generate a random User Agent for the requests library
Configures the requests library to randomly select a desktop User-Agent. See the full list in requests_random_user_agent/useragents.txt.
pip install requests-random-user-agent
import requests
import requests_random_user_agent
s = requests.Session()
print(s.headers['User-Agent'])
# Without a session
resp = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/user-agent')
print(resp.json()['user-agent'])
User-Agents are randomized per-session or per-request. Individual HTTP requests without a session will each have a random User-Agent selected from the list in useragents.txt.
Set the environment variable UA_PLATFORM=android to use a list of Android-specific User-Agents instead. List provided by WhatIsMyBrowser.
