earlyseo-blog 1.0.5

Drop-in blog integration for Django & Flask — powered by EarlySEO. Articles are served from EarlySEO's CDN. Just add your site ID and go.

earlyseo-blog

Drop-in blog integration for Django and Flask — powered by EarlySEO. Articles are authored in the EarlySEO dashboard and rendered in your Python web app.

Quick Start (Recommended)

The fastest way to get started — run the CLI from your project root:

pip install earlyseo-blog
earlyseo-blog

The CLI automatically:

1. Detects whether you're using Django or Flask
2. Asks for your Site ID (from Dashboard → Integrations → SDK)
3. Generates starter templates, URL config, and a .env file

Run your dev server and visit /blog — your articles are live.

Manual Setup

If you prefer to configure things yourself:

Django

pip install "earlyseo-blog[django]"

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # …
    "earlyseo_blog.django",
]

EARLYSEO_SITE_ID = "your-site-id"   # from Dashboard → Integrations → SDK

urls.py

from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [
    path("blog/", include("earlyseo_blog.django.urls")),
]

Visit /blog to see your articles.

Template tags

Override the built-in HTML by creating your own templates:

<!-- templates/earlyseo/blog_list.html -->
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load earlyseo %}

{% block extra_head %}{% earlyseo_styles %}{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
  {% for article in articles %}
    <h2><a href="{% url 'earlyseo_blog:blog_detail' slug=article.slug %}">{{ article.title }}</a></h2>
    <p>{{ article.meta_description }}</p>
  {% endfor %}
{% endblock %}

Available template tags: {% earlyseo_styles %}, {% earlyseo_article_css %}, {% earlyseo_article article %}.

Flask

pip install "earlyseo-blog[flask]"

app.py

from flask import Flask
from earlyseo_blog.flask.views import create_blog_blueprint

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config["EARLYSEO_SITE_ID"] = "your-site-id"

app.register_blueprint(create_blog_blueprint(), url_prefix="/blog")

Override the built-in HTML by placing templates/earlyseo/blog_list.html and templates/earlyseo/blog_detail.html in your templates folder.

Sitemap

Django

Plug into Django's built-in sitemaps framework:

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # …
    "django.contrib.sitemaps",
    "earlyseo_blog.django",
]

# urls.py
from django.contrib.sitemaps.views import sitemap
from earlyseo_blog.django.sitemap import EarlySeoBlogSitemap

sitemaps = { "blog": EarlySeoBlogSitemap }

urlpatterns = [
    path("blog/", include("earlyseo_blog.django.urls")),
    path("sitemap.xml", sitemap, {"sitemaps": sitemaps}, name="sitemap"),
]

Flask

Register a /blog/sitemap.xml route automatically:

from earlyseo_blog.flask.sitemap import register_blog_sitemap

app.config["EARLYSEO_BASE_URL"] = "https://example.com"
register_blog_sitemap(app, url_prefix="/blog")

Or get entries for a custom sitemap:

from earlyseo_blog.flask.sitemap import create_blog_sitemap_entries

entries = create_blog_sitemap_entries(base_url="https://example.com")

---

Python Client

Use the client directly in any Python app:

from earlyseo_blog import EarlySeoClient

client = EarlySeoClient(site_id="your-site-id")

# List articles (page 1)
page = client.get_list_page(1)
for article in page.articles:
    print(article.title, article.slug)

# Get a single article
article = client.get_article("my-article-slug")
print(article.title)
print(article.content_html)

Async Client

from earlyseo_blog import AsyncEarlySeoClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncEarlySeoClient(site_id="your-site-id") as client:
        page = await client.get_list_page(1)
        article = await client.get_article("my-article-slug")

Install the async extra for HTTP/2 support:

pip install "earlyseo-blog[async]"

---
