Randomly generate a fake useragent.
This project's idea is inspired by fake-useragent. I rewrote the whole codes in order to boost performance by:
- using
asyncioandaiohttpto improve fetching speed - taking advantage of
Xpathto improve parsing speed - changing random choice algorithm to improve random choice speed
Supported browsers are: chrome, edge, firefox, safari, and opera. Browser name is case insensitive. Some other possible spellings of each browser are mapped to the right one (e.g. "ie" -> "edge", "google" -> "chrome").
Usage
On your terminal, just simply enter fakeua
In your python script, just import the function. Every time you run the script, the useragent value will be different.
from fake_user_agent import user_agent
# Not specify a browser:
ua = user_agent()
# Specify a browser to randomly choose from:
ua = user_agent("chrome")
# It takes < 2s for the first run based on my 200M bandwith, including fetching, parsing, and writing cache.
# Using tempfile by default, it takes < 0.01s starting from the second time.
# You can specify not using tempfile, and it will take < 1s to run, including fetching and parsing:
ua = user_agent(use_tempfile=False)
# If there is an async function needing a useragent in your script,
# don't put `user_agent()` in your async function, put it above instead.
# Remove tempfile in a python script.
# May need `sudo python yourscript.py` for Linux.
from fake_user_agent import rm_tempfile
rm_tempfile()
Other usages on terminal
# Set to get a useragent in debug mode
fakeua <browser or omit> --debug
# Set to get a useragent without local caching
fakeua <browser or omit> --nocache
# Remove cache from tempfile folder
fakeua --remove
# Print the current version of the program
fakeua --version
