api-profiler 0.1.6

Django profiling middleware CLI tool

---

🌀 API Profiler

A plug-and-play Django middleware profiler that tracks API performance, SQL query behavior, and more — all without code changes or server restarts.

Perfect for developers who want real-time insight into their API behavior during development.

---

✨ Features

• ✅ Profiles total request execution time
• ✅ Logs detailed SQL queries per request
• ✅ Detects N+1 issues with repeated query tracking
• ✅ Beautiful, structured console logs (headers, body, SQL, etc.)
• ✅ No code changes — injects middleware at runtime
• ✅ Global CLI-based usage via profile run

---

📦 Installation

Once published:

pip install api-profiler

For local development (from repo root):

pip install dist/api_profiler-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

Or install in editable mode:

pip install -e .

---

🚀 Usage

From your Django project folder, use the CLI to control profiling:

Step 1: Start Django with profiling

profile run

Step 2: In another terminal, toggle profiling live

# Activate all metrics
profile --set all

# Deactivate all
profile --unset all

# Enable specific profiling
profile --set sql response-headers

# Disable specific profiling
profile --unset sql response-body

⚡ This works on the live running server — no restart required.

🛠️ How It Works

• 🧩 Middleware Injection: Runtime patching (no settings.py modification)
• 📡 Live Toggle: CLI commands modify profiling behavior in real time
• ⚙️ Auto Project Detection: Automatically detects Django apps in the current directory
• 📋 Clean Logging: Powered by logging.config.dictConfig
