Description

Identifies likely web crawlers and bots by checking HTTP User-Agent strings. It helps Python web applications adjust analytics, rate limits, logging, or content handling when traffic appears to come from automated clients.

Developers use it as a library inside web services. User-Agent text can be spoofed, so do not treat the result as strong security proof; combine it with rate limits, behavior checks, and server-side policy.
