FAQPage Schema
How do I add Amplitude analytics to a Django app?▼

Add Amplitude analytics to Django by wiring a singleton client into server routes to track events and identify users. It enforces environment variable usage for API keys to ensure safe data handling across your project.

What is the best way to track server-side events in Django with Amplitude?▼

Track server-side events using standard patterns like User Logged In, Dashboard Viewed, and Error Triggered from Django views. These consistent naming conventions enable cross-project analytics and minimal changes to existing code.

How does user identification work with Amplitude in Django?▼

User identification works by using Identify objects and a consistent user_id strategy to link events across sessions. This server-side approach ensures accurate user tracking within Django authentication workflows like login and logout.

Do I need environment variables to configure the Amplitude API key in Django?▼

Yes, you need to set the AMPLITUDE_API_KEY environment variable to configure the client safely. This environment-based configuration strategy prevents hardcoding sensitive API keys directly into your Django project source code.

Can I use Django middleware to track Amplitude page views?▼

Yes, you can use Django middleware to track Amplitude page views alongside other server-side workflows. The integration provides reference examples and best practices for implementing tracking patterns with minimal changes to existing code.
