I want to use the api entry point for a windows 8 rt app I am developing. The
application is not a bot, as the requests originate from the users of the app.
The also do not originate from a browser, but rather in c# code on the device.
The guidelines for api usage indicate that I should send a User Agent, but I’m
not sure what I should send in this case. If I have many users of my app, then
it may look like I am abusing the api. But it’s the users of my app that are
initiating the requests, not a bot.
So what should I use as the User Agent in this case? I could use the action=raw
parameter of the normal url, but I would prefer using the api as it has more
options.
