User-Agent Naming for Applications #2692

Closed nattadasu closed 1 year ago

nattadasu commented 1 year ago

Hello!

I noticed that in Shikimori API 1.0 documentation stated that:

My question: Can developer uses User-Agent that includes their version of the bot and additional information, or does this count as mimicking browser's UA?

What I mean is similar what I did to my project:

User-Agent: UserAgentTest/1.0 (github:repo/aabbccd; branch:main; author:user:112233445566; https://example.com)

Should dev name their User-Agent as what the example provided, or is it strictly use UserAgentTest instead as the example mimics browser?

Should dev name their User-Agent as what the example provided, or is it strictly use UserAgentTest instead as the example mimics browser? It does not really matter what you choose. Both variants are acceptable.
