WURFL Microservice is a modular device detection solution designed for deployment in cloud environments (such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) or on-premise infrastructure. It operates as a microservice, exposing a RESTful API that enables applications to detect and retrieve detailed device capabilities—including device type, model, OS, browser, and over 500 other properties—based on HTTP request data. The architecture consists of a WURFL Microservice Server (WM Server), which maintains and updates the device database, and a WURFL Microservice Client (WM Client) library, available for major programming languages. The client communicates with the server to request device information, leveraging built-in caching to minimize latency. The microservice is available in multiple editions (Basic, Standard, Professional), each offering different levels of device data and support. WURFL Microservice is designed for organizations seeking high-accuracy, scalable, and easily integrated device detection for analytics, content adaptation, mobile optimization, and security use cases.
