What it is and what it does
Snowplow-tracker is an event collection library that lets you instrument Python applications—web servers, games, CLI tools—to send structured event data to a Snowplow analytics collector. It wraps HTTP requests (via the requests library) to serialize and transmit events in Snowplow's standard format, making it the client-side piece of a larger analytics pipeline.
You create an Emitter pointing to your Snowplow collector endpoint, instantiate a Tracker with that emitter and an application ID, then call tracking methods to record page views, custom events, or other user actions. The library handles serialization and delivery; you handle deciding what to track and when.
Use it for
- Track user interactions in a Django or Flask web application to feed a Snowplow data warehouse
- Instrument a Python game to collect telemetry on player behavior and engagement
- Log application events from a backend service for operational analytics and debugging
- Send custom events from a data pipeline or ETL job to centralize event logging
- Monitor user journeys across a Python-based SaaS product
