## About

**crawlerdetect** is a Go version of PHP class @[CrawlerDetect](https://github.com/JayBizzle/Crawler-Detect). 

It helps to detect bots/crawlers/spiders via the user agent and other HTTP-headers. Currently able to detect 1,000's of bots/spiders/crawlers.

## Installation

`go get github.com/x-way/crawlerdetect`

## Basic Usage

```

import "fmt"

import "github.com/x-way/crawlerdetect"

func main() {

    uastring := "curl/7.54.0"

    if crawlerdetect.IsCrawler(uastring) {

        fmt.Println("Found a crawler")

    }

}

```

## Contributing

The patterns and testcases are synced from the PHP repo.

If you find a bot/spider/crawler user agent that crawlerdetect fails to detect, please submit a pull request with the regex pattern and a testcase to the [upstream PHP repo](https://github.com/JayBizzle/Crawler-Detect).
