Custom User-Agent¶
Why do we need it?¶
As we need to be one in a middle of a connection to a webserver, the custom user agent is there for that!
How does it work?¶
We set the user-agent every time we request something with the http
and https
protocols.
If a custom user agent is given, it will be used.
Otherwise, every 24 hours, we update our user-agents.json file which will be fetched by your local version to determine the user-agent to use.
How to use it?¶
Simply choose your browser and platform or provide us your custom one!
user_agent:
browser: chrome
platform: linux
custom: null
into your personal .PyFunceble.yaml
or use the --user-agent
(custom UA) argument from the CLI.

What if we don’t give a custom User-Agent?¶
If you don’t set a custom User-Agent, we will try to get the latest one for the chosen browser and platform.
