analytical 0.0.1

Python Server Side Analytics

Analytical is a Python library for sending pageviews and events to analytics platforms like Google Analytics except from Python rather than JavaScript so it can be done server side. This has a number of advantages such as working regardless of whether clients block analytics scripts, privacy sensitive information can be anonymized or removed before sending, and it allows sending data only known by the server.

Feature support

• Convenient utilities for anonymizing sensitive information like IP addresses

• Pluggable provider backends for different analytics platforms (currently just Google)

Supports Python 2.7, Python 3.5+, and PyPy.

Example

import analytical

provider = analytical.Provider('googleanalytics', 'UA-XXXXXXX-1')
provider.pageview({
    'dl': 'https://example.com',
    'dt': 'My Page Title',
    'ua': 'user-agent',             # User agent
    'uip: '12.34.56.78',            # User IP address
})
