Bot detection

Open vivekmarakana opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

Hi, can you give additional functionality to detect is UA string indicates a bot or not, something like ua.is_bot? ?? Or let me know if there's something like that built in..

It seems a measure is missing from this project: "OS family type" that should give:

  • Window
  • Mac
  • Bot
  • Library

I think this is a good additional feature within the scope of this library. @vivekmarakana and @ebuildy Do you know any good regex-sources for this type of detection?

Nop, you could maybe have a look at:
