Question
How can I customize the user agent used by the Synthetic browser?
Environment
Synthetic agent v4.4
Answer
We introduced a way to configure the Synthetic Agent through in-script metadata, which is basically a way to configure the Synthetic Agent directly for hidden configuration flags or features not yet available through the UI. As an example, you can use this to set a custom user agent.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The metadata is yml, enclosed in a python comment block starting on the very first line of the script.
