Notes

fake-useragent stores collected data in your OS temp dir, like /tmp. You can also specify the location yourself with the keyword argument path to UserAgent. It should be an absolute path to a file.

from fake_useragent import UserAgent
ua = UserAgent(path='/Users/me/useragents.json')

if you want to update saved database just

from fake_useragent import UserAgent
ua = UserAgent()
ua.update()

if you dont want cache database or no writable file system:

from fake_useragent import UserAgent
ua = UserAgent(cache=False)

Tests

pip install tox
