Device Model, Form Factor, OS
WURFL device detection’s API provides information about the brand and model of a device requesting a webpage. The initial HTTP request is parsed for its user-agent string. Using a well-tuned and accurate algorithm, WURFL returns a device model profile. Leveraging this device profile, WURFL also provides information about the form factor, operating system versions, and hundreds of other WURFL device capabilities. ScientiaMobile’s WURFL detects these capabilities in real-time, prior to any other interaction with the device.
