Consider randomizing the User-Agent being passed in the base-header

ashaychangwani opened this issue · comments

In my experience, repeated use of the same user agent header has lead to far more non-200 status code responses.

You can use this library called fake_useragent as:
from fake_useragent import UserAgent
user_agent = UserAgent()
HEADER['User-Agent'] = user_agent.random

Just a suggestion!

Thanks for that! I will probably include this - unless you want submit a PR

PR incoming :D

Please do submit to external-dev/user-agent-randomization
From there, I will test and merge to main

I guess you'd have to modify only src/covid-vaccine-slot-booking.py

Yeah I only need to modify that file, but I can't push my commit.
