WURFL.js

WURFL.js can quickly and reliably detect iPhone and iPad models – something no other device detection solution on the market can do. Starting with iOS 12.2, only WURFL.js Basic, Standard, and Pro editions will detect iPhone models and iPad models. Now that you can drill down to the specific iPhone or iPad model and its WURFL capabilities, you can unlock substantial value for advertising, analytics, and mobile optimization. In addition, you can feed this information into Google Analytics to further improve your web analytics tools.

WURFL.js Basic, Standard, and Pro plans offer more than 20 of WURFL’s most important device capabilities, including the 3 capabilities found in its WURFL.js Lite service. Developers can use these capabilities to provide more fine-grained optimization, control, and analytics. And now that you can detect iPhone and iPad models, you can integrate these WURFL capabilities with demographic, usage and profitability profiles you already own.

The WURFL capabilities for WURFL.js Basic, Standard, and Pro include our most popular device capabilities. However, if you need a particular device capability added and would like to customize, please contact us.

ScientiaMobile is constantly updating and expanding its Device Description Repository (DDR) to ensure accurate coverage of the newest devices, including long-tail Indian and Chinese devices. WURFL tracks over 120,000 device profiles, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and game consoles. As the DDR grows, detection performance stays high through use of caching and efficient database architecture.

Any WURFL user who would like to add new devices permanently to WURFL can submit a request by emailing wurfldb@scientiamobile.com. Read more about how to do it here.

WURFL.js Basic, Standard, and Pro can identify iPhone and iPad models, which makes it the most accurate device detection solution in the industry. WURFL.js achieves over 99% accuracy by searching the internet and analyzing over two billion user agents per month. In addition, ScientiaMobile quickly identifies new devices, including long-tail Indian and Chinese devices, and delivers high-quality device intelligence updates to commercial customers every week.

Every week, ScientiaMobile updates the devices in WURFL.js for you. This means developers get an always-updated solution, high accuracy, and a zero-maintenance solution with WURFL.js.

In addition to User-Agent Strings, WURFL also supports User-Agent (UA) Client Hints. After updating to WURFL API 1.12.5.0 or more recent, WURFL will automatically process UA Clients Hints included in the HTTP request, recognize frozen User-Agent Strings, and reconcile the two. This way, WURFL continues to provide the industry-leading accuracy that users expect.

WURFL.js Basic, Standard, and Pro plans allow clients to cache the HTTP response on the end-user’s browser to increase overall performance. This caching reduces the number of requests counted toward your plan. On average, our customers have 75% less WURFL.js requests than page views, thanks to caching.

Customers receive enterprise-level ticketed support. Support specialists with over 30 years combined experience in device detection provide fast responses to developers. ScientiaMobile actively moderates and responds to the enterprise-level tickets.

The WURFL.js Basic, Standard and Pro license supports different commercial use scenarios (single and multiple domains, enterprise-wide use, intranets, and OEM arrangements). ScientiaMobile can extend pricing to support non-standard commercial agreements that require additional domains (e.g. OEM). Please contact our sales for these arrangements.

WURFL.js Basic, Standard, and Pro plans operate on a highly-available cloud-based infrastructure that is dedicated to our commercial customers.
