Proxy DataFast with Flask
Learn how to proxy DataFast analytics through your Flask server to bypass adblockers and improve accuracy.
1. Install Required Dependencies
pip install flask requests
2. Add Proxy Configuration
Add the following to your Flask application:
from flask import Flask, request, Response
import requests
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/js/script.js')
def proxy_script():
response = requests.get('https://datafa.st/js/script.js')
return Response(
response.content,
content_type='application/javascript',
headers={
'Cache-Control': 'public, max-age=31536000'
}
)
@app.route('/api/events', methods=['POST'])
def proxy_events():
response = requests.post(
'https://datafa.st/api/events',
json=request.get_json(),
headers={
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'User-Agent': request.headers.get('User-Agent')
}
)
return Response(
response.content,
content_type='application/json',
status=response.status_code
)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
3. Update Your Script Tag
Replace your existing DataFast script with the proxied version:
<script
defer
data-website-id="yourwebsiteid"
data-domain="yourdomain.com"
src="/js/script.js"
></script>
4. Deploy your server
The proxy configuration will take effect automatically after deployment.
Verification
To verify the proxy is working:
- Visit your website
- Open the network tab in your browser's developer tools
- Check that analytics requests are going through your domain instead of datafa.st
