## User Agent Required

All API requests MUST include a valid User Agent string. Requests with no User Agent
string will be rejected. If you are hitting the API without authentication, we ask that
you add some kind of identification to the UA header value. This is so we can contact
you if there are problems.
All API requests MUST include a valid `User-Agent` header. Requests with no `User-Agent`
header will be rejected. We request that you use your GitHub username, or the name of your
application, for the `User-Agent` header value. This allows us to contact you if there are problems.

Here's an example:

<pre class="terminal">
User-Agent: Awesome-Octocat-App
