station-python 1.0.0

Lightweight Python SDK for sending count and value stats to Station.

Station Python

Python SDK for sending simple app stats to Station.

Install

pip install station-python

Usage

import station_python as station

station.set_api_key("your-api-key")
station.set_debug(True)

station.track_count("page_view")
station.track_count("signup", 3)
station.track_value("checkout_total", 24.95)

station.capture_count("background_job_started")
station.capture_value("api_latency_ms", 142)

Instead of calling set_api_key, you can set the STATION_API_KEY environment variable before starting your app:

STATION_API_KEY=your-api-key python app.py

API

set_api_key(api_key)

Sets the Station API key used by subsequent events.

set_debug(enabled)

Enables or disables debug logging. Debug mode is disabled by default.

track_count(stat_name, value=1)

Sends a count event to Station. Use it for incrementing counters such as page views, clicks, signups, or other discrete events.

track_value(stat_name, value)

Sends a numeric value event to Station. Use it for measurements such as totals, durations, scores, or other numeric observations.

capture_count(stat_name, value=1)

Fire-and-forget version of track_count. It schedules the request and returns immediately.

capture_value(stat_name, value)

Fire-and-forget version of track_value. It schedules the request and returns immediately.

Network errors do not interrupt your application flow. Enable debug mode if you want failed event submissions logged during development or diagnostics. The client reuses keep-alive connections, applies a short request timeout, retries one transient network/server failure, and backs off after 429 rate limit responses.

Current Contract

The package posts to:

• POST https://api.station.guide/v1/events/count
• POST https://api.station.guide/v1/events/value

Request bodies use apiKey, statName, and value.
