Proxy DataFast with Laravel
Learn how to proxy DataFast analytics through your Laravel application to bypass adblockers and improve accuracy.
1. Create Proxy Controller
Create a new controller to handle the proxy requests:
php artisan make:controller DataFastProxyController
2. Implement Proxy Logic
Add the following to app/Http/Controllers/DataFastProxyController.php:
<?php
namespace AppHttpControllers;
use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesHttp;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesCache;
class DataFastProxyController extends Controller
{
public function script()
{
// Cache the script for 1 year
return Cache::remember('datafast_script', 31536000, function () {
$response = Http::get('https://datafa.st/js/script.js');
return response($response->body(), 200, [
'Content-Type' => 'application/javascript',
'Cache-Control' => 'public, max-age=31536000'
]);
});
}
public function events(Request $request)
{
$response = Http::withHeaders([
'User-Agent' => $request->header('User-Agent'),
'Content-Type' => 'application/json'
])->post('https://datafa.st/api/events', $request->all());
return response($response->body(), $response->status());
}
}
3. Add Routes
Add the following routes to routes/api.php:
// Stripe routes
Route::post('/stripe/webhook', [StripeWebhookController::class, 'handleWebhook']);
// LemonSqueezy routes
Route::post('/lemonsqueezy/webhook', [LemonSqueezyWebhookController::class, 'handleWebhook']);
4. Configure Services
Add the following to config/services.php:
'stripe' => [
'key' => env('STRIPE_KEY'),
'secret' => env('STRIPE_SECRET'),
'webhook_secret' => env('STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET'),
],
'lemonsqueezy' => [
'api_key' => env('LEMON_SQUEEZY_API_KEY'),
'store_id' => env('LEMON_SQUEEZY_STORE_ID'),
'webhook_secret' => env('LEMON_SQUEEZY_WEBHOOK_SECRET'),
],
5. Update Environment Variables
Add to your .env file:
STRIPE_KEY=your_stripe_key STRIPE_SECRET=your_stripe_secret STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_stripe_webhook_secret LEMON_SQUEEZY_API_KEY=your_lemonsqueezy_api_key LEMON_SQUEEZY_STORE_ID=your_store_id LEMON_SQUEEZY_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_webhook_secret
Once connected and cookie data is properly passed, DataFast will automatically:
- Track all payments from your Stripe/LemonSqueezy account
- Attribute revenue to the correct marketing channels
- Provide detailed analytics in your dashboard
