Device Type based on User Agent

[#1]

Is there way to get the Device Type based on the User agent that can be used inside a JS policy?

I know apigee has the ability to find that out in the Analytics dashboard, but is there a service/policy that can used to figure that out?

Thanks,

Rajan

You could write a Javascript policy to detect device, browser type etc using the User-Agent header string as input. You would likely need to use a .js library to parse out the device type .

Within the .js policy,

get the UA string using: var uastr = context.getVariable('request.header.User-Agent');

Then pass the uastr into a js lib that parses for device type etc..
