The Extract User Agent API represents a sophisticated solution designed to comprehensively parse and analyze user agent strings. User agent strings are fundamental components of HTTP requests sent by web browsers to identify themselves to websites. These strings contain crucial metadata for understanding browser type, operating system, device capabilities and other relevant attributes of the user's environment.
In essence, the user Extract User Agent API excels at extracting and interpreting detailed information included in user agent strings. This includes identifying the specific browser being used (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.), its version number and the underlying rendering engine. It also discerns the operating system (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android) and provides information about its version or variant, aiding in platform-specific optimizations and compatibility checks.
In addition, the API classifies devices into various types, such as desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones and specialized devices. It can also extract additional device-specific details, such as screen resolution, pixel density and touchscreen capabilities. This information is invaluable for developers who want to deliver web experiences tailored to different device categories and screen sizes.
Thanks to real-time data retrieval capabilities, the API ensures that users receive up-to-date information about user agents accessing their applications or web services. This timely information enables proactive adjustments to web design, content delivery strategies and user interface optimization based on current browser usage trends and device preferences.
In conclusion, the Extract User Agent API is an indispensable tool for extracting, analyzing and interpreting user agent strings to gain valuable insights into browser usage, device preferences and platform characteristics.
It will receive a parameter and provide you with a JSON.
Browser Compatibility Testing: Developers use the API to identify and test browser-specific behaviors and compatibility issues across different browser versions and platforms.
Device Detection and Optimization: Websites and applications utilize the API to detect the type of device (desktop, tablet, mobile) accessing their content and optimize the user experience accordingly.
Analytics and User Behavior Insights: Businesses analyze user agent data to gain insights into user demographics, device preferences, and browsing habits, informing strategic decisions in marketing and product development.
Security and Access Control: Cybersecurity teams leverage the API to detect and block access from outdated or insecure browsers and devices that pose security risks to web applications.
Content Personalization: Content management systems use user agent data to deliver personalized content based on device capabilities, screen sizes, and user preferences for enhanced engagement.
Besides the number of API calls per month, there are no other limitations.
To use the API, send the user_agent in string format, such as: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/105.0.0.0.0 Safari/537.36". The API will break down the user_agent to provide details about the browser, platform, engine and device type.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]
Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the ‘X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.
The ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.
After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
When you subscribe to an API trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
