User-Agent Header

We require a User-Agent header to be set. This has primarily two benefits:

1. It helps us identify the source of the requests and contact you in case of issues. For example, when we make breaking changes and want to inform you about them or generally give you better help when you have issues.
2. On the other hand, it helps us to protect our service from abuse or faulty applications that accidentally send too many requests.

The User-Agent header should be set to a string that identifies your application, such as MyApp/1.0. Services like Zapier or Make do Zapier and Make/production , respectively.

If you do not set the User-Agent header, depending on your request pattern, you may receive 4xx errors as a response.

For more information about the User-Agent header, see the MDN Web Docs.

In case you are using this API in a browser, you do not need to set the User-Agent header. The browser will overwrite it with its own value.
