Randomuseragent

Build Status License: MIT

The goal of Randomuseragent is to have a easy access to different user-agent strings by randomly sampling from a pool of real strings.

Installation

The development version can be installed from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("fangzhou-xie/Randomuseragent")
#> Skipping install of 'Randomuseragent' from a github remote, the SHA1 (002aee0b) has not changed since last install.
#>   Use `force = TRUE` to force installation

The package is currently under active development and will be submitted to CRAN soon.

Example

This is a basic example to get random user-agent strings:

library(Randomuseragent)

random_useragent()
#> [1] "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; MDDRJS; rv:11.0) like Gecko"

filter_useragent(min_obs = 50000, software_name = "Safari", operating_system_name = "Mac OS X")
#> [1] "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/600.8.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0.8 Safari/600.8.9"   
#> [2] "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/534.59.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.9 Safari/534.59.10"

Both function will accept the same set of arguments for filtering user-agent strings. Please refer to documentation of either function for details.
