A JavaScript/TypeScript npm package for generating random user agents weighted by real-world market share, with daily-updated data. It also exposes hard-to-find browser fingerprint properties and filtering capabilities for targeting specific browsers or devices.

Use cases

  • generate random realistic user agents for web scraping
  • rotate user agent headers in browser automation with puppeteer or playwright
  • get browser fingerprint properties like navigator and platform for a user agent
  • filter user agents by browser, device, or operating system
  • avoid bot detection by mimicking real traffic patterns

When to choose

  • you need realistic, market-share-weighted user agents for scraping or automation
  • you want daily-updated user agent data without maintaining it yourself
  • you need matching fingerprint properties (navigator, platform, viewport) alongside the user agent string

When to avoid

  • you need user agent parsing rather than generation
  • you work outside JavaScript/Node.js
  • you need a full anti-bot evasion framework rather than just user agent data
