+> [!NOTE]
+> - The `User-Agent` string in the HTTP request header should be unique to your application or script, differentiating it from generic traffic.
+> - Including additional headers such as `Accept: application/json` can help clarify the intent of your request.
+> - Incorrectly identifying as crawler traffic might result in throttling or other automated mitigations by Microsoft's backend systems. Properly identifying your client helps avoid these issues.

+If you use a different HTTP client, ensure that similar headers are set appropriately. Refer to your HTTP client's documentation for customizing request headers.
