README

Generate realistic desktop User-Agent strings for modern browsers.

Current Version

• Package version: 0.1.1
• Namespace: Asinka
• Main API: Asinka\UAGenerator::randomAgent()

Update in 0.1.1

This release adds new functionality on top of previous versions.

• User-Agent generator now supports mobile platforms (Android and iOS).
• Added full HTTP headers generator for top-level HTML document navigation.

New headers API (0.1.1)

<?php

use Asinka\Headers\DocumentHeadersGenerator;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$generator = new DocumentHeadersGenerator();

// Random browser/platform profile
$headers = $generator->generateHeaders();

// Explicit profile
$headersChromiumWindows = $generator->generateHeaders('chromium', 'Windows');

Update in 0.1.0

1) Updated User-Agent versions and formats

The generator now uses modern UA patterns and version ranges:

• Chrome (Chromium-style UA)
• Edge (Edg/...)
• Firefox (modern rv + Gecko/20100101 format)
• Safari (macOS Safari format)
• Opera (OPR/..., Chromium-based)

It also uses current desktop platform tokens:

• Windows 10 style: Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64 / WOW64
• macOS style: Mac OS X 13_x, 14_x, 15_x
• Linux style: X11; Linux x86_64

2) Switched naming from snake_case to camelCase

Public API naming is now camelCase:

• Old: random_agent(...)
• New: randomAgent(...)

3) Methods are now static

You no longer need to instantiate the class.

• Old:

$generator = new \Asinka\UAGenerator();
$ua = $generator->randomAgent();

• New:

$ua = \Asinka\UAGenerator::randomAgent();

4) Added custom exception

The library now provides and uses its own exception class:

• Asinka\Exceptions\UAGeneratorException

The main generator method can throw this exception for invalid or unsupported runtime cases.

Usage

<?php

use Asinka\UAGenerator;
use Asinka\Exceptions\UAGeneratorException;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

try {
    $randomUa = UAGenerator::randomAgent();
    $chromeOnWindows = UAGenerator::randomAgent(
        UAGenerator::BROWSER_CHROME,
        UAGenerator::OS_WINDOWS
    );

    echo $randomUa . PHP_EOL;
    echo $chromeOnWindows . PHP_EOL;
} catch (UAGeneratorException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage() . PHP_EOL;
}

Available Constants

Migration Notes

If you are upgrading from an older version:

1. Replace random_agent(...) with randomAgent(...).
2. Replace object calls with static calls:
   • from $generator->randomAgent(...)
   • to UAGenerator::randomAgent(...)
3. Update exception handling to catch UAGeneratorException where needed.
