Random User-Agent Data Fetching with Python

This function uses the Requests library to fetch data from a specified URL and returns the text content of the response. It first defines an internal function get_random_useragent, which randomly selects a user agent string. Then, in the fetch_random_data function, this user agent string is used to send a GET request and the response content is returned.
