Code
There are several implementations available. Choose the best type for your application. Once implemented the variables can be used to identify information about the device of visitors on your website.
IMPLEMENTATION
Add the following code between your <head> tags.
<script src="https://theapicompany.com/deviceAPI.js?id=XXX"></script>
Note: the ID is used for idenfication and not for authorization. You will receive the unique ID in your email after your order is complete or you enlisted to the trial!
VARIABLES
DEVICE TYPE
var devicetype = deviceAPI.deviceType; //mobile var devicebrand = deviceAPI.deviceBrand; //Apple var devicename = deviceAPI.deviceName; //iPhone XS
SCREEN
var screenwidth = deviceAPI.screenWidth; //800 var screenheight = deviceAPI.screenHeight; //1600 var screenratio = deviceAPI.screeenRatio; //2
GPU
var gpu = deviceAPI.GPU; //Apple GPU
BROWSER
var browsername = deviceAPI.browserName; //Safari var br_version = deviceAPI.browserVersion; //12.0.1
OPERATING SYSTEM
var osname = deviceAPI.osName; //MAC OS X var osversion = deviceAPI.osVersion; //10.14.1
TOUCHSCREEN
var touchscreen = deviceAPI.touchScreen; //TRUE
IMPLEMENTATION
Add the following code between your <head> tags.
<script async src="https://theapicompany.com/deviceAPI2.js?id=XXX"></script>
Note: the ID is used for idenfication and not for authorization. You will receive the unique ID in your email after your order is complete or you enlisted to the trial!
VARIABLES
Create a callback function. Use the following variables inside this function:
function deviceAPIcallback(result){ // do stuff here - use result. alert(result.deviceType); //mobile alert(result.deviceBrand); //Apple alert(result.deviceName); //iPhone XS alert(result.screenWidth); //800 alert(result.screenHeight); //1600 alert(result.screenRatio); //2 alert(result.GPU); //Apple GPU alert(result.browserName); //Safari alert(result.browserVersion); //12.0.1 alert(result.osName); // MAC OS X alert(result.touchScreen); //TRUE };
