django-funkymetrics 0.1.9

# django-funkymetrics

django-funkymetrics is a super simple Django application for easily tracking events and submit them asynchronously to KISSmetrics using celery tasks.

## Features

• Track app events easily

• Submits analytics events asynchronously to KISSmetrics

## Installation

Add the KISSmetrics JS snippet to your project template(s).

Install django-funkymetrics:

pip install django-funkymetrics

Alternatively, download the source code and manually add it to your PYTHONPATH.

Set your KISSmetrics API key:

KISS_API_KEY = ‘<your_api_key>’

Track events and profit.

## Prerequisites

The library assumes that Celery is installed and configured for the Django project. Tasks are automatically created for each record_event.

## Usage

Simply import record_event in your code where you want to track events, and call it as needed:

from funkymetrics.events import record_event

# Without properties record_event(request, ‘downgraded’)

# With properties record_event(request, ‘upgraded plan’, {‘to_plan’: ‘Standard’})

The request object is used to identify the user the event is associated with.

When the request isn’t available, a user instance can be passed instead. Note that we can’t extract the anonymous KISSmetrics identifier from the user object, so it doesn’t really make sense to pass anonymous users.

## Identifying users

Anonymous users are identified by their KISSmetrics anonymous ID (ie. the value of the km_ai cookie).

Authenticated users are identified by their username.

## Future stuff

• Overriding user identifiers

• Queue events locally and submit in batches
