WURFL Query (also known as QuWURFL) is a cloud-based service providing a REST API that enables developers and applications to programmatically access and filter device information from the WURFL device database, which contains over 100,000 device profiles. Unlike traditional device detection APIs that require HTTP request headers or User-Agent strings, WURFL Query allows users to search for devices and their capabilities using device names, brands, models, and specific feature filters. The API returns results in JSON format and supports both Community and Business Editions. It is designed for integration into consumer-facing applications, dashboards, and backend systems that need to identify, compare, or validate device characteristics in real time. WURFL Query is built on the OpenAPI 3.0.0 specification, making it accessible and familiar to developers working with modern RESTful APIs.
