Change Log

Because this repo is mostly a python wrapper for the User Agent String Parser repo (https://github.com/ua-parser/uap-core), the changes made to this repo are best described by the update diffs in that project. Please see the diffs for this submodule (https://github.com/ua-parser/uap-core/releases) for a list of what has changed between versions of this package.

Getting Started

Retrieve data on a user-agent string

>>> from ua_parser import user_agent_parser
>>> import pprint
>>> pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
>>> ua_string = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2272.104 Safari/537.36'
>>> parsed_string = user_agent_parser.Parse(ua_string)
>>> pp.pprint(parsed_string)
{   'device': {'brand': 'Apple', 'family': 'Mac', 'model': 'Mac'},
    'os': {   'family': 'Mac OS X',
              'major': '10',
              'minor': '9',
              'patch': '4',
              'patch_minor': None},
    'string': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_4) '
              'AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2272.104 '
              'Safari/537.36',
    'user_agent': {   'family': 'Chrome',
                      'major': '41',
                      'minor': '0',
                      'patch': '2272'}}

Extract browser data from user-agent string

>>> from ua_parser import user_agent_parser
>>> import pprint
>>> pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
>>> ua_string = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2272.104 Safari/537.36'
>>> parsed_string = user_agent_parser.ParseUserAgent(ua_string)
>>> pp.pprint(parsed_string)
{'family': 'Chrome', 'major': '41', 'minor': '0', 'patch': '2272'}

⚠️Before 0.15, the convenience parsers (ParseUserAgent, ParseOs, and ParseDevice) were not cached, which could result in degraded performances when parsing large amounts of identical user-agents (which might occur for real-world datasets).

For these versions (up to 0.10 included), prefer using Parse and extracting the sub-component you need from the resulting dictionary.

Extract OS information from user-agent string

>>> from ua_parser import user_agent_parser
>>> import pprint
>>> pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
>>> ua_string = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2272.104 Safari/537.36'
>>> parsed_string = user_agent_parser.ParseOS(ua_string)
>>> pp.pprint(parsed_string)
{   'family': 'Mac OS X',
    'major': '10',
    'minor': '9',
    'patch': '4',
    'patch_minor': None}

Extract Device information from user-agent string

>>> from ua_parser import user_agent_parser
>>> import pprint
>>> pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
>>> ua_string = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2272.104 Safari/537.36'
>>> parsed_string = user_agent_parser.ParseDevice(ua_string)
>>> pp.pprint(parsed_string)
{'brand': 'Apple', 'family': 'Mac', 'model': 'Mac'}
