Crawlers ![Clojars Project](https://img.shields.io/clojars/v/olical/crawlers.svg)
Clojure(Script) library to identify crawler and bot user agent strings. Relies on monperrus/crawler-user-agents for the regular expressions.
Usage
(require '[crawlers.detector :as crawlers])
;; This isn't a crawler.
(time (crawlers/crawler? "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0"))
;; "Elapsed time: 0.214012 msecs"
;; => nil
;; This is!
(time (crawlers/crawler? "Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) Safari/537.36"))
;; "Elapsed time: 0.056963 msecs"
;; => "Googlebot/"
Updating
The list of expressions is fetched from crawler-user-agents.json
so it needs to be occasionally synchronised.
You can submit an update to the regular expression list by executing clj -Afetch
and pasting the resulting vector in src/crawlers/detector.cljc
.
