Use useragent.Parse(userAgent string)
function to parse browser's and bot's user agents strings and get:
- User agent name and version (Chrome, Firefox, Googlebot, etc.)
- Operating system name and version (Windows, Android, iOS etc.)
- Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet, bot)
- Device name if available (iPhone, iPad, Huawei VNS-L21)
- URL provided by the bot (http://www.google.com/bot.html etc.)
Stable. I use it on high traffic websites on every single request, as well on my Lite Analytics service.
I constantly improve user agents detection and performance. Fill free to report an issue for any User-Agent string not recognized or misinterpreted.

Beside UserAgent{}
struct and its properties returned by useragent.Parse()
, there is a bunch of shorthand functions for most popular browsers and operating systems, so this code:
ua := useragent.Parse(userAgentString)
if ua.OS == "Android" && ua.Name == "Chrome" {
// do something
}
can be also written on this way:
ua := useragent.Parse(userAgentString)
if ua.IsAndroid() && ua.IsChrome() {
// do something
}
- Opera and Opera Mini are two browsers, since they operate on very different ways.
- If Googlebot (or any other bot) is detected and it is using its mobile crawler, both
bot
andmobile
flags will be set totrue
.
