Need a Python script to generate random mobile user agents

macdonjo3 · Sep 21, 2015

Does anyone have a Python script that calculates random user agents of mobile users that they could share? I'd throw some cash your way if you'd like.

Please, can you explain what you mean by "calculates random user agents of mobile users"

macdonjo3 · Sep 21, 2015

I mean, it generates a random user agents based on reasonable market share.

Here you go:

Code:

import random

uagent_list = ['Android'] * 46 + ['iOS'] * 42 + ['Symbian'] * 3 + ['Java ME'] * 3 + ['Windows'] * 2 + ['Java ME'] * 1 + ['BlackBerry'] * 1 + ['Kindle'] * 1 + ['Other'] * 1

random.choice(uagent_list)

lol wise guy here. there are more factors to a user agent than the OS.

MrBlue · Sep 22, 2015

Replace the OS name and percentages with your user agent list. The above is just an example of generating a weighted random number. Didn't think you needed to be spoon fed.

Code:

from fake_useragent import UserAgent

This is a good start. They have a mobile module as well, so just reverse find it, I have seen mention about it on StackExchange last week, I cant find link though.

Hello TS, are you trying to make a mobile CPI bot software?

Is this what you are referring to? https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fake-useragent

Did you get what you were looking for? I'll cook you up something if not.

No, I have not yet.

Do you want the data based on a specific country, continent, or does it matter?

Your usage scenario here can clarify some possible best avenues of exploration, however I see Mr.Blue solution as possibly viable, and you could certainly substitute many more user-agents, or a random query to external resource from which to pull the UA.

Yes, use it with mobile useragents - you can find it here for example: http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Mobile Browserlist/
It will take probably few minutes to add them but at least you will have full control over them.
