how to configure multiple useragents?

[Tumtum2814]

hey all, I was hoping someone could help me with useragent formatting. I know it won't fully protect me and i've increased my sleep between scrapes but i wanted to put a couple useragents in the .env
running streetmerchant in docker it's been working great but getting this error when adding new UAs
variable 'Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 8.0.0; SM-G960F Build/R16NW) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.84 Mobile Safari/537.36 \n' contains whitespaces.
See 'docker run --help'.

my env file line is
USER-AGENT="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0 \n
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 8.0.0; SM-G960F Build/R16NW) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.84 Mobile Safari/537.36 \n

I have this changing in 4.0.0, but in 3.x, it needs changing. The way it works now isn't great. Your format looks correct, but I'll post again when this changes.

Thanks!

Has it changed? I'm getting a bunch of capcha and 403 errors, and I'm told that setting up multiple user agents is the way to fix that. I'd love to know how to configure them.

I forgot to update this discussion, but there are multiple user agents generated now and shouldn't be necessary. but if you want to use multiple, you would do it like this:

USER_AGENT="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/87.0.4280.88 Safari/537.36\nMozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/87.0.4280.88 Safari/537.36\nMozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/87.0.4280.88 Safari/537.36"

Oh, hm. So I guess multiple user agents doesn't help against these 403, 503, and CAPCHA errors. What does help against those?

[jef]

It should help with CAPTCHA usually, but for the 403/503 perhaps not. I think one think one thing that works for certain is rotating proxies.

the URL is not working and i'm new to all of this can you refer me to another website where they explain how to use proxies for streetmerchant and thanks

Use freeproxylists to find proxies. To use the proxy server in dotenv paste the address and port in the respective places.
