Using highlight.io with Other Python Frameworks
Learn how to set up highlight.io in your Python app.
1
Setup your frontend Highlight snippet with tracingOrigins.
Make sure that you followed the fullstack mapping guide.
H.init("<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>", {
tracingOrigins: ['localhost', 'example.myapp.com/backend'],
networkRecording: {
enabled: true,
recordHeadersAndBody: true,
},
});
2
Install the highlight-io python package.
Download the package from pypi and save it to your requirements. If you use a zip or s3 file upload to publish your function, you will want to make sure highlight-io is part of the build.
poetry add highlight-io
# or with pip
pip install highlight-io
3
Initialize the Highlight SDK.
Setup the SDK.
import highlight_io
H = highlight_io.H("YOUR_PROJECT_ID", record_logs=True)4
Verify your installation.
Check that your installation is valid by throwing an error. Try raising an exception somewhere in your code. You should see a DivideByZero error in the Highlight errors page within a few moments.
import logging
import random
import time
import highlight_io
H = highlight_io.H("YOUR_PROJECT_ID", record_logs=True)
