fingerprintiq 0.1.1

Official Python SDK for FingerprintIQ — visitor identification, API caller classification, and CLI usage analytics

fingerprintiq

Official Python SDK for FingerprintIQ — three products in one package:

• Identify — server-side visitor lookup
• Sentinel — classify API callers as browsers, AI agents, CLI tools, or bots
• Pulse — CLI usage analytics and machine fingerprinting

Links: Docs · PyPI · Issues

Installation

pip install fingerprintiq              # core (Identify + Sentinel + Pulse)
pip install 'fingerprintiq[fastapi]'   # + FastAPI / Starlette middleware

Requires Python 3.9+.

Identify — server-side visitor lookup

from fingerprintiq import FingerprintIQ

with FingerprintIQ(api_key="fiq_live_...") as client:
    visitor = client.lookup(visitor_id="iq_abc123")
    print(visitor.visitor_id, visitor.bot_probability)

Async variant:

import asyncio
from fingerprintiq import FingerprintIQ

async def main() -> None:
    client = FingerprintIQ(api_key="fiq_live_...")
    try:
        visitor = await client.alookup(visitor_id="iq_abc123")
        print(visitor.bot_probability)
    finally:
        await client.aclose()

asyncio.run(main())

Sentinel — FastAPI middleware

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from fingerprintiq.sentinel.fastapi import SentinelMiddleware

app = FastAPI()
app.add_middleware(SentinelMiddleware, api_key="fiq_live_...")

@app.get("/api/data")
def handler(request: Request):
    result = request.state.sentinel  # SentinelResult | None
    if result and result.caller_type == "bot":
        return {"blocked": True}
    return {"ok": True}

Pulse — CLI analytics

from fingerprintiq.pulse import Pulse

pulse = Pulse(api_key="fiq_live_...", tool="my-cli", version="1.2.3")
pulse.track("deploy", metadata={"duration_ms": 1234, "success": True})
pulse.shutdown()  # or let atexit handle it

Honors DO_NOT_TRACK=1 and FINGERPRINTIQ_OPTOUT=1 out of the box. Set respect_opt_out=False to override.
