How this identifies itself, honestly.

A real name and a URL that explains what it is, because the alternative — impersonating a browser — is the bot-detection evasion this package declines to do, and because a site that wants to refuse a crawler should be able to. Several sites answer a missing User-Agent with a 429 that is not a rate limit, so sending nothing is not an option either.
