Overview
ApicAgent parses User-Agent strings into structured device and browser information, returning details like browser name, version, OS, device type, and whether the client is a bot. The service is free with no API key required and supports CORS, making it suitable for client-side JavaScript calls. It is useful for lightweight analytics and conditional content rendering without a server-side library.
Beginner Tip
No signup or API key is needed — just call https://api.apicagent.com/?ua=YOUR_ENCODED_UA with any URL-encoded User-Agent string. In a browser you can capture the current UA from navigator.userAgent and encode it with encodeURIComponent before passing it.

const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
