Overview
What this tool does
The user-agent parser turns a raw user-agent string into readable browser, engine, operating-system, mobile, and bot signals.
It helps with debugging browser compatibility, checking crawler traffic, and understanding request logs. User-agent strings can be spoofed, so treat the result as a hint. The user-agent guide explains the limits.
Examples
Example strings
Bot
Googlebot/2.1
Shows crawler-style detection when a bot token is recognizable.

How to read results
Browser and engine values come from the recognizable tokens in the string. Mobile and bot values are hints from parser rules, not a security decision. The raw user-agent is included so you can compare the parsed fields with the original log value.
Boundaries
Limits
Clients control their user-agent strings. Browsers can freeze, shorten, or spoof values, and automated clients can pretend to be common browsers. Do not use user-agent parsing as the only fraud, rate-limit, or access-control signal.
