RequestVault

Monitor every outgoing API request from your Python applications with zero boilerplate.

RequestVault is a developer observability tool that automatically captures outgoing HTTP requests made through Python applications and provides real-time analytics through a centralized dashboard.

---

Features

• Automatic request tracking
• Zero-code request monitoring
• Real-time analytics dashboard
• Request performance insights
• Status code monitoring
• Error tracking
• API usage visibility
• Simple SDK integration

---

Installation

pip install requestvault

---

Getting Started

1. Create a RequestVault Account

Sign up on the RequestVault dashboard and generate your API key.

---

2. Initialize the SDK

from requestvault import init

init(
    api_key="rv_your_api_key_here"
)

That's it.

Any outgoing requests made using the requests library will be automatically monitored.

---

Example

from requestvault import init
import requests

init(
    api_key="rv_your_api_key_here"
)

response = requests.get(
    "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"
)

print(response.status_code)

The request will automatically appear inside your RequestVault dashboard.

Security

RequestVault is designed with security in mind.

Recommended practices:

• Never expose your API key publicly.
• Store API keys in environment variables.
• Rotate API keys regularly.
• Use separate API keys for development and production environments.

Example:

import os

from requestvault import init

init(
    api_key=os.getenv("REQUESTVAULT_API_KEY")
)

---

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• requests
