Struct: UserAgent

KeyFieldTypeDescriptionRequirednessDefault value
1userAgentStringstringThe raw user agent string supplied Note that for guardian native app events this is likely misleading, as it often represents the library that the app used to make the request optional
2typeUserAgentTypeThe classification of this user agent optional
3osNameAndVersionThe operating system this request was made from optional
4familyNameAndVersionThe family name and version of the user agent e.g. Firefox 13.0 or iOS Core 3.1.1 optional
5deviceDeviceTypeDevice class of this user agent optional
6modelnativeapp.DeviceFull device model and manufacturer Only populated for native apps, where this data is available. optional
7rendererInforenderer.RendererInfoWhen classifying the experience that a user had when visiting our site, we make a distinction between the Renderer in use, which may vary significantly on the same device, such as a native app vs a web browser, and the physical device that was used to view the content. optional
8isMobileboolthis represents a device of at least two form-factors, a 'mobile' or a 'tablet', and it is based on data extracted from the user-agent, which therefore makes it a reasonable guess, but as this is quite a fuzzy distinction, this shouldn't be considered as being 100% accurate. optional
