Hi, Sure you could but use would be that? It's just a string describing user agent. And it may be a lie.
You do have a few options here: Simplest is that you really don't care about "anonymous" access or it's usage limits. You may impose some throttling to avoid hammering of your service. Another option is to use a long term session to store number of accesses and don't care about people who reset their sessions. Finally you can make people to login with some "simple" authorization mechanism like social site logins.
