Python API

Our basic Python API has very limited functionality. It allows you to record events, set properties and alias users, but it has:

No support for automatically setting and remembering identities for your users
No support for automatically tying together anonymous and named identities - please refer to JavaScript API + Server Side API Integration
No support for A/B Testing
No support for automatic tracking of events (such as search engine traffic)
Does not support cron (see Sending Data via Cron for more information)

For these reasons we recommend our Javascript API to most users. You might also consider looking at Other/3rd-Party Libraries.

Setup

You can download a copy of the API from:

http://github.com/kissmetrics/KISSmetrics

You will need your API key which you can find in your site settings.

Before calling any of the common methods you must call KM.init with a valid API key:

KM.init(string KM_KEY)

Example:

KM.init("this is your key")

Please see:

API Methods for information and examples on recording events, setting properties and identifying users.
