Flask — DataLook

Send server-side conversions from Flask — forwarded from the request, credited to the real visitor.

Fire a server-side conversion from a Flask route, crediting the real visitor:

app.py

import requestsfrom flask import Flask, requestapp = Flask(__name__)@app.post("/checkout/success")def checkout_success():    # Prefer the FIRST X-Forwarded-For entry (the real client); else remote_addr.    forwarded = request.headers.get("X-Forwarded-For", "")    ip = forwarded.split(",")[0].strip() if forwarded else request.remote_addr    requests.post(        "https://datalook.app/event",        headers={            "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",            "Content-Type": "application/json",        },        json={            "event_name": "success",            "name": "signup",            "page_path": request.path,            "ip": ip,            "user_agent": request.headers.get("User-Agent", ""),        },        timeout=5,    )    return {"ok": True}

Note

Flask exposes the path as request.path (not request.url); behind a proxy you must read the first X-Forwarded-For entry, since request.remote_addr is the proxy.

How it’s credited

This reads the visitor’s IP and User-Agent from the request and forwards them, so the conversion lands on the real visitor — device, country, and source included. No identify(), no ids, no cookie.
