Customizing the user agent

In an effort to be transparent and polite to the Internet Archive, all requests made by savepagenow carry a custom user agent that identifies itself as "savepagenow (https://github.com/pastpages/savepagenow)".

You can further customize this setting by using the optional arguments to our API.

Here’s how to do it in Python:

savepagenow.capture("http://www.example.com/", user_agent="my user agent here")

And here’s how to do it from the command line:

savepagenow http://www.example.com/ --user-agent "my user agent here"
