Conversation
…ients Every client in the Python SDK now sends the same User-Agent as the scraping client, so the API reads Crawl and Batch requests as Python SDK traffic. The Crawl client sent zenrows-crawl-python/<version>, and the Batch client zenrows-batch-python/<version>.
This change is about Crawl only. The Batch client keeps sending zenrows-batch-python/<version>, as on main.

Summary
The Crawl client in the Python software development kit (SDK) now sends the scraping client's User-Agent,
zenrows/<version> python. The API already reads that as Python SDK traffic. Its usage numbers then count crawls from the SDK as the SDK, not as plain API calls.What the task asked for
The API could not tell crawls created from the Python SDK apart from direct HTTP calls. The Crawl client sent
zenrows-crawl-python/<version>, which the API does not recognise. The Batch client is out of scope and keeps its current User-Agent.How the check confirmed it
pytest tests/test_crawl_client.py tests/test_batch_client.pyEncoded by: the User-Agent assertion added to
tests/test_crawl_client.py.How to try it
Run the tests above.
