Tool Introduction
"Common User-Agent Lookup" is a convenient online tool designed to provide developers, testers, and users who need to simulate different client environments with a comprehensive reference list of User-Agent strings for both PC and mobile devices. This tool collects User-Agents for various mainstream browsers (such as Safari, IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome) on different operating systems (such as MAC, Windows), as well as User-Agent strings for various mobile devices (such as iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone). Users can easily browse these User-Agents and quickly copy them to the clipboard with a single click, greatly improving development and testing efficiency.
How to Use
- Visit the "Common User-Agent Lookup" tool page.
- On the page, you will see two main categories: "PC Devices" and "Mobile Devices".
- According to your needs, find the specific browser, operating system, or mobile device for which you want to obtain the User-Agent string under the corresponding category. For example, if you need the User-Agent for "safari 5.1 – MAC", please find that entry under "PC Devices".
- Click (or focus on) the text input box to the right of the entry. This action will automatically copy the complete User-Agent string to your clipboard.
- Now, you can paste the copied User-Agent string into your HTTP request headers, browser emulator, or anywhere else a User-Agent is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is this tool used for?
- A: This tool provides a convenient list for querying and copying common User-Agent strings, covering various browsers and operating systems for PC and mobile devices, primarily used for simulating different client environments in development, testing, or web scraping scenarios.
- Q: Can I use these User-Agent strings directly?
- A: Yes, all User-Agent strings provided in the tool are in standard format and can be directly used in HTTP request headers or any application you need to simulate the corresponding client environment.
- Q: Are these User-Agent strings all up-to-date?
- A: This tool includes common and classic User-Agent strings, some of which are historical versions. While it may not contain all the latest browser User-Agents, they are still very useful for simulating common older versions or specific environments.
- Q: What is the output format?
