requester
Person seeking something
A requester is someone who asks for something, whether formally or informally.
The term appears frequently in bureaucratic, technical, and service contexts where one party submits a request and another fulfills it: The requester must provide valid identification before picking up the documents.
In software and web services, requester often designates the system or user initiating a query or transaction.
The variant spelling requestor exists but is less common.
