Set up Flowsery Analytics in a Django project

This guide covers adding Flowsery Analytics tracking to your Django application.

Insert the tracking snippet in your base template

The simplest way to load the script on every page is through Django's base template.

  1. Open your base template -- typically at templates/base.html.

  2. Place the Flowsery Analytics snippet inside the <head> block:

    <script
  defer
  data-fl-website-id="flid_******"
  data-domain="your_domain.com"
  src="https://analytics.flowsery.com/js/script.js"
></script>

    Replace flid_****** with the Website ID from your Flowsery Analytics settings. Replace your_domain.com with the root domain of your site.

Alternative: Drive values from Django settings

For a more flexible setup, store the tracking values in settings.py:

  1. Add the following to settings.py:

    FLOWSERY_WEBSITE_ID = 'flid_******'
FLOWSERY_DOMAIN = 'your_domain.com'

  2. Reference these values in your base template:

    <script
  defer
  data-fl-website-id="{{ settings.FLOWSERY_WEBSITE_ID }}"
  data-domain="{{ settings.FLOWSERY_DOMAIN }}"
  src="https://analytics.flowsery.com/js/script.js"
></script>

Confirm everything is working

After deploying either approach:

  • Navigate to your live site
  • Open your Flowsery Analytics dashboard and check for incoming pageviews
  • Allow a couple of minutes for the first data to appear

For additional options such as localhost tracking, custom API endpoints, or cross-domain configuration, refer to the script configuration reference.
