Detecting and responding to suspicious activity is a vital aspect of maintaining the security and integrity of your Python application. Monitoring for signs of unauthorized access, abnormal behavior, or potential security breaches helps protect sensitive user data and ensures a safe user experience.

Saashound, a powerful real-time event tracking tool, offers seamless monitoring for suspicious activity in your Python application. By integrating Saashound directly into your application, you can effortlessly track suspicious events in real-time and receive immediate alerts when suspicious activity is detected.

Connecting Saashound to Your Python Application

To begin monitoring suspicious activity in your Python application using Saashound, follow these simple steps:

1. Sign up for a free Saashound account to start tracking your application’s events.

3. Access the settings and securely copy your unique API token.

Python Integration

Integrating Saashound into your Python application is straightforward. Use the following code snippet to start tracking suspicious activity. Remember to replace API_TOKEN with your actual Saashound API token and update the project name to match your project.

import json
import requests

def log_event():
    api_url = 'https://api.saashound.co/log-event'
    payload = {
        "project": "my-project",
        "channel": "security-logs",
        "event": "Suspicious Activity Detected",
        "description": "Suspicious activity detected from IP address 123.456.789.0.",
        "icon": "🚨",
        "notify": True  # Replace with the appropriate value
    }

    headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': 'Bearer API_TOKEN'  # Replace API_TOKEN with your actual API token
    }

    try:
        response = requests.post(api_url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)

        if 200 <= response.status_code < 300:
            print('Log event sent successfully!')
        else:
            print('Failed to send log event. Response code:', response.status_code)
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as error:
        print('Error sending log event:', error)
