ua_generator

Generate random real User-Agents to use as spoofs.

How to use

Example of generating a randomized user agent updated weekly.

cargo add ua_generator --git https://github.com/a11ywatch/ua_generator.git

use ua_generator::ua::spoof_ua;

fn main() {
    let ua = spoof_ua();

    println!("{}", ua);

};

The static files are checked and generated from the build.rs file to prevent extra need for API calls since they are limited and require authentication.

If you plan on using this building locally you need a valid API key from the API Layer User Agent API and set the value to the env var APILAYER_KEY. You can run BUILD_ENABLED=1 APILAYER_KEY=$APILAYER_KEY cargo build to generate the static files. You can also change the API endpoint using the env variable API_URL.

TODO

1. Update user-agent list via CRON github actions.
