Userstack
Detect any technology, fast and easy!
This API is best for accurately and quickly detecting the hardware, software and user agent information of any user.
The Userstack API is a powerful and easy-to-use solution that provides valuable insight into user technology. Not only is it easy to use and incorporate into your application or website, it quickly and accurately detect what a user is using and provides many advanced features to give detailed information. This makes it ideal for use in analytics, web optimization, and marketing.
Key features
- Automatically detect technology used on websites
- scan user agents
- detect browser
- operating system
- device type
- hardware platform
- device model
- form factors
- render engine
- crawl any website to detect browser trends and more.
Potential use cases
- Optimizing Weather Forecasts: Using the Userstack API, developers can create applications that automatically detect the user’s location, their device type and form factor, and their browser and operating system. The application could then use this information to customize the weather forecast for each device, optimizing the display for the user’s device type and ensuring the user always has the most accurate forecast available.
- Website Accessibility Tool: Using the Userstack API, developers can create a website audit tool that checks a website's accessibility by automatically detecting what technology is required to access the website. The application would use the Userstack API to detect the device type, browser and operating system the user is using and then check to see if that particular web technology is supported by that combination of user data.
- Automated Form Field Analysis: Using the Userstack API, developers can create data-driven applications that automatically analyze form fields and detect what browser, operating system and device type the user is using. The application could then use this information to dynamically adjust the form fields based on the user’s device, such as automatically resizing the fields for mobile devices, or showing fewer fields on a mobile device to conserve space.
Userstack has been a massive help for our development team. We were able to detect and respond to the technology of our users more quickly and accurately than ever before. 10/10 would recommend!
