Require a custom user agent to use the SDK

What

  • Require a custom user agent to use the SDK
  • Using the SDK and the API in general will remain as of today: free and accessible for everyone. IN the same way, we don't want to implement an API key mechanism and all that kind of stuff.
  • However, due to misuse of the API through various SDKs, we will now force all language clients to have a valid User Agent so that we can reach out in case of problems.
  • For now, We will only require an app name for the user agent.
