Patterns to match a handful of new bot user agents recently seen in my web server logs:

  • axios/0.21.1
  • Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Faveeo/1.0; +http://www.faveeo.com)
  • ZoteroTranslationServer/WMF (mailto:noc@wikimedia.org)
  • Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; GroupHigh/1.0; +http://www.grouphigh.com/)

These non-human user agents account for tens of thousands of hits in my web servers.

axios is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. It
uses the name and version number for its user-agent by default, ie:

    axios/0.21.1

They use this user-agent:

    Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Faveeo/1.0; +http://www.faveeo.com)

This is a Node.js-based server to run Zotero translators. They use
the following user agent:

    ZoteroTranslationServer/WMF (mailto:noc@wikimedia.org)

See: https://github.com/zotero/translation-server
This is some kind of content marketing tool that scrapes social me-
dia to rank influencers. It uses a user-agent like this:

    Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; GroupHigh/1.0; +http://www.grouphigh.com/)

Some of these are also submitted upstream to COUNTER-Robots. The
rest are minor and not worth submitting.
