It exposes two main interfaces: StatsD for sending metrics via DogStatsd, and API for direct calls to Datadog's REST API. You configure it by setting Flask config variables for your Datadog credentials and the StatsD host, then instantiate the extension objects in your app.\n\nThe package has been unmaintained since early 2017 and has received no updates in over six years. It was designed to be API-compatible with Flask-StatsD but has no runtime dependencies listed, suggesting it relies on external libraries or system-level Datadog agents. Given the age and lack of maintenance, compatibility with current Datadog services and modern Python/Flask versions is uncertain.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last update 2017, no commits since 2020) and high install friction makes it unreliable for production use. Datadog's own client libraries and modern Flask integrations are actively maintained and recommended instead. Use only if you have a legacy codebase already depending on it and cannot migrate."},"id":"flask-datadog","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-datadog","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-datadog.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flask-datadog/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-01-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"Flask-Datadog","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Access to dogstatsd in your app."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":133100,"position":11528,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.4"}
