Inspired by the BBC Tech report from @tdp_org, I looked at Wikipedia.

Yesterday, Wikipedia received over 45 million requests made with curl, from 113 distinct curl releases.

Of these, 32 million use the default UA (e.g. curl CLI). The other 13 million embed libcurl with a longer UA string containing curl (e.g. GuzzleHttp/PHP, PycURL, UnityPlayer)

At 12 million, most are curl/7.88.1.

Raw data, queries, and scrub/cleaning parameters:
