These headers make it easy for destination servers to identify that these requests came from Cloudflare. ## User-Agent The default User-Agent depends on how you access Browser Run: | Method | Default User-Agent | Customizable | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | [Quick Actions](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/) | Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/119.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 | Yes, using the userAgent parameter | | [Crawl endpoint](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/crawl-endpoint/) | CloudflareBrowserRenderingCrawler/1.0 | No | | [CDP](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/cdp/) ([Puppeteer](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/puppeteer/), [Playwright](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/playwright/)) | The default User-Agent of the underlying Chrome version | Yes, via Puppeteer/Playwright configuration | Note The User-Agent header is not a reliable way to identify Browser Run requests. It is configurable for most Browser Run methods, changes when the underlying Chrome version updates, and any HTTP client can send any User-Agent string. Destination servers should use the [non-configurable headers](#non-configurable-headers) and [Web Bot Auth](#about-web-bot-auth) signatures below, which provide cryptographic proof that a request originated from Cloudflare Browser Run. ## Non-configurable headers Note The following headers are meant to ensure transparency and cannot be removed or overridden (with `setExtraHTTPHeaders`, for example). | Header | Description | | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | cf-brapi-request-id | A unique identifier for the Browser Run request when using [Quick Actions](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/) | | cf-brapi-devtools | A unique identifier for the Browser Run request when using [Puppeteer](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/puppeteer/), [Playwright](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/playwright/), or [CDP](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/cdp/) | | cf-biso-devtools | A flag indicating the request originated from Cloudflare's rendering infrastructure | | Signature-agent | [The location of the bot public keys โ†—](https://web-bot-auth.cloudflare-browser-rendering-085.workers.dev), used to sign the request and verify it came from Cloudflare | | Signature and Signature-input | A digital signature, used to validate requests, as shown in [this architecture document โ†—](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-meunier-web-bot-auth-architecture) | ### About Web Bot Auth The `Signature` headers use an authentication method called [Web Bot Auth](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/bots/reference/bot-verification/web-bot-auth/). Web Bot Auth leverages cryptographic signatures in HTTP messages to verify that a request comes from an automated bot. To verify a request originated from Cloudflare Browser Run, use the keys found on [this directory โ†—](https://web-bot-auth.cloudflare-browser-rendering-085.workers.dev/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory) to verify the `Signature` and `Signature-Input` found in the headers from the incoming request. A successful verification proves that the request originated from Cloudflare Browser Run and has not been tampered with in transit. ### Bot detection Browser Run uses different bot detection IDs depending on the method. [Quick Actions](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/) (excluding the [crawl endpoint](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/crawl-endpoint/)), [Puppeteer](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/puppeteer/), [Playwright](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/playwright/), and [CDP](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/cdp/) share one ID, while the crawl endpoint has its own. | Method | Bot detection ID | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | | [Quick Actions](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/), [Puppeteer](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/puppeteer/), [Playwright](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/playwright/), [CDP](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/cdp/) | 119853733 | | [Crawl endpoint](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/crawl-endpoint/) | 128292352 | If you are attempting to scan your own zone and want Browser Run to access your website freely without your bot protection configuration interfering, you can create a WAF skip rule to [allowlist Browser Run](https://mchen-ai-models-sync.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/faq/#can-i-allowlist-browser-run-on-my-own-website).
