# User Agents Generator

> This is a Node.js module that provides a simple way to generate user agent strings for various web browsers and mobile devices. The generated user agents can be used in web scraping or automation scripts to mimic the behavior of real users.

## Usage

1.  Install the module in your project:

```bash

npm install user-agent-generator

```

2.  Import the module in your script:

```javascript

```

3.  Use the module's methods to generate user agents for different browsers and devices:

```javascript

`const chromeUserAgent = userAgentGenerator.chrome();

const firefoxUserAgent = userAgentGenerator.firefox();

const safariUserAgent = userAgentGenerator.safari();

const androidUserAgent = userAgentGenerator.android();

const iosUserAgent = userAgentGenerator.ios();` 

```

4.  Pass the generated user agent string to your Puppeteer automation scripts:

```javascript

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

const chromeUserAgent = userAgentGenerator.chrome();

(async () => {

  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({

    headless: true,

    args: [`--user-agent=${chromeUserAgent}`]

  });

  const page = await browser.newPage();

  await page.goto('https://www.example.com');

  // your automation code here

  await browser.close();

})();

```
