Python SDK

With the Python SDK, you can run experiments and activate feature flags on your back-end Python server. Integrating our SDK into your web-application is easy, and its footprint (memory and network usage) is low.

Getting started: For help getting started, see the developer guide.

Changelog: Latest version of the Python SDK: 3.12.1 Changelog.

SDK methods: For the full reference documentation of the Python SDK, see the reference section.

Developer guide

This guide is designed to help you integrate our SDK in a few minutes and start running experiments in your Python applications. This tutorial will explain the setup of a simple A/B test to change the number of recommended products based on different variations.

Getting started

Installing the Python client

You can install the SDK using a Python pip package. Our package is hosted on the official pip repository, so you just have to run the following command:

pip install kameleoon-client-python

Additional configuration

You should provide credentials for the Python SDK via a configuration file, which you can also use to customize the SDK's behavior. A sample configuration file can be obtained here. We suggest installing this file to the default path /etc/kameleoon/client-python.yaml, but you can put it in another location and pass the path as an argument to the KameleoonClient() constructor method. With the current version of the Python SDK, these are the available keys:

client_id: a client_id is required for authentication to Kameleoon.
client_secret: a client_secret is required for authentication to Kameleoon.
refresh_interval_minute: specifies the refresh interval, in minutes, that the SDK fetches the configuration for the active experiments and feature flags. The value determines the maximum time it takes to propagate changes, such as activating or deactivating feature flags or launching experiments to your production servers. If left unspecified, the default interval is set to 60 minutes. Additionally, we offer a streaming mode that uses server-sent events (SSE) to push new configurations to the SDK automatically and apply new configurations in real-time, without any delays.
session_duration_minute: sets the time interval that Kameleoon stores the visitor and their associated data in memory (RAM). Note that increasing the session duration increases the amount of RAM that needs to be allocated to store visitor data. The default session duration is 30 minutes.
default_timeout_millisecond: specifies the timeout, in milliseconds, for network requests from the SDK. We recommend setting the value to 30 seconds or more if you do not have a stable connection. The default value is 10 seconds. Some methods have their own parameters for timeouts, but if you do not specify them explicitly, this value is used.
tracking_interval_millisecond: this specifies the interval for tracking requests, in milliseconds. All visitors who were evaluated for any feature flag or had data flushed will be included in this tracking request, which is performed once per interval. The minimum value is 100 ms and the maximum value is 1000 ms, which is also the default value.
top_level_domain: the current top-level domain for your website. Use the format:example.com. Don't include https://, www, or other subdomains. Kameleoon uses this information to set the corresponding cookie on the top-level domain. This field is mandatory.
environment: an option specifying which feature flag configuration will be used. By default, each feature flag is split into production, staging, and development. If not specified, the flag is set to the default value of production. More information
multi_threading (Deprecated): an option of type bool indicating whether threads can be used for network requests. By default, the option is False and everything is executed in one thread to avoid performance issues with GIL if (C)Python interpreter is being used. Possible values: True, False.
network_domain: Custom domain used by SDKs for outgoing requests, often for proxying. Must be a valid domain (e.g., example.com or sub.example.com). Invalid formats default to Kameleoon's value.

Alternatively, you can use configuration_object of type KameleoonClientConfig as a parameter during initialization. It has the same list of arguments as a config file. configuration_object takes precedence over the configuration file and overwrites its settings.

Initializing the Kameleoon client

After installing the SDK into your application, configuring the correct credentials (in /etc/kameleoon/client-python.yaml), and setting up a server-side experiment in Kameleoon's back-office, the next step is creating the Kameleoon client in your application code.

The code on the right gives a clear example. A KameleoonClient is a singleton object that acts as a bridge between your application and the Kameleoon platform. It includes all the methods and properties you will need to run an experiment.

note

Developers are responsible for ensuring the correct logic of their application code when implementing A/B testing with Kameleoon. A best practice is to always assume that a visitor may be excluded from the experiment if it has not yet been launched. This practice is simple to implement, as it aligns with the default or reference variation logic, which should always be in place. The code samples in the next section demonstrate this approach.

from kameleoon import KameleoonClient, KameleoonClientConfig, KameleoonClientFactory

SITE_CODE = 'a8st4f59bj'

# Option 1
kameleoon_client = KameleoonClientFactory.create(SITE_CODE, config_path='/etc/kameleoon/client-python.yaml')

# Option 2
configuration_object = KameleoonClientConfig.read_from_yaml('/etc/kameleoon/client-python.yaml')
configuration_object.set_top_level_domain("example.com")
kameleoon_client = KameleoonClientFactory.create(SITE_CODE, configuration_object)

# Option 3
configuration_object = KameleoonClientConfig(
    "client-id",  # required
    "client-secret",  # required
    refresh_interval_minute=60,  # (in minutes) optional, default: 60 minutes
    session_duration_minute=30,  # (in minutes) optional, default: 30 minutes
    default_timeout_millisecond=10000,  # (in milliseconds) optional, default: 10000 milliseconds
    tracking_interval_millisecond=1000,  # (in milliseconds) optional, default: 1000 milliseconds
    environment="production",  # optional, possible values: "production" / "staging" / "development" / "staging", default: None
    top_level_domain="example.com",
    multi_threading=False,  # optional, default: False
    logger=my_logger,  # optional, default: standard kameleoon logger. This field is deprecated and will be removed in SDK version `4.0.0`. Use `KameleoonLogger.set_logger` instead.
    network_domain="example.com",  # optional
)
kameleoon_client = KameleoonClientFactory.create(SITE_CODE, configuration_object)

Activating a feature flag

Assigning a unique ID to a user

To assign a unique ID to a user, you can use the get_visitor_code() method. If a visitor code doesn’t exist (from the request headers cookie), the method generates a random unique ID or uses a default_visitor_code that you would have generated. The ID is then set in a response headers cookie.

If you are using Kameleoon in Hybrid mode, calling the get_visitor_code() method ensures that the unique ID (visitor code) is shared between the application file (kameleoon.js) and the SDK.

Retrieving a flag configuration

To implement a feature flag in your code, you must first create the feature flag in your Kameleoon account.

To determine the status or variation of a feature flag for a specific user, you should use the get_variation() or is_feature_active() method to retrieve the configuration based on the feature_key.

The get_variation() method handles both simple feature flags with ON/OFF states and more complex flags with multiple variations. The method retrieves the appropriate variation for the user by checking the feature rules, assigning the variation, and returning it based on the feature_key and visitor_code.

The is_feature_active() method can be used if you want to retrieve the configuration of a simple feature flag that has only an ON or OFF state, as opposed to more complex feature flags with multiple variations or targeting options.

If your feature flag has associated variables (such as specific behaviors tied to each variation) get_variation() also enables you to access the Variation object, which provides details about the assigned variation and its associated experiment. This method checks whether the user is targeted, finds the visitor’s assigned variation, and saves it to storage. When track=True, the SDK will send the exposure event to the specified experiment on the next tracking request, which is automatically triggered based on the SDK’s tracking_interval_millisecond. By default, this interval is set to 1000 milliseconds (1 second).

The get_variation() method allows you to control whether tracking is done. If track=False, no exposure events will be sent by the SDK. This is useful if you prefer not to track data through the SDK and instead rely on client-side tracking managed by the Kameleoon engine, for example. Additionally, setting track=False is helpful when using the get_variations() method, where you might only need the variations for all flags without triggering any tracking events. If you want to know more about how tracking works, view this article

Adding data points to target a user or filter / breakdown visits in reports

To target a user, ensure you've added relevant data points to their profile before retrieving the feature variation or checking if the flag is active. Use the add_data() method to add these data points to the user's profile.

To retrieve data points that have been collected on other devices or to access past data points about a user (which would have been collected client-side if you are using Kameleoon in Hybrid mode), use the get_remote_visitor_data() method. This method asynchronously fetches data from our servers. However, it is important you call get_remote_visitor_data() before retrieving the variation or checking if the feature flag is active, as this data might be required to assign a user to a given variation of a feature flag.

To learn more about available targeting conditions, read our detailed article on the subject.

Additionally, the data points you add to the visitor profile will be available when analyzing your experiments, allowing you to filter and break down your results by factors like device and browser. Kameleoon Hybrid mode automatically collects a variety of data points on the client-side, making it easy to break down your results based on these pre-collected data points. See the complete list here.

If you need to track additional data points beyond what's automatically collected, you can use Kameleoon's Custom Data feature. Custom Data allows you to capture and analyze specific information relevant to your experiments. Don't forget to call the flush() method to send the collected data to Kameleoon servers for analysis.

note

To ensure your results are accurate, it's recommended to filter out bots by using the UserAgent data type.

Tracking goal conversions

When a user completes a desired action (such as making a purchase), it is recorded as a conversion. To track conversions, use the track_conversion() method and provide the required visitor_code and goal_id parameters.

The conversion tracking request will be sent along with the next scheduled tracking request, which the SDK sends at regular intervals (defined by tracking_interval_millisecond). If you prefer to send the request immediately, use the flush() method with the parameter instant=True.

Sending events to analytics solutions

To track conversions and send exposure events to your customer analytics solution, you must first implement Kameleoon in Hybrid mode. Then, use the get_engine_tracking_code() method.

The get_engine_tracking_code() method retrieves the unique tracking code required to send exposure events to your analytics solution. Using this method allows you to record events and send them to your desired analytics platform.

Using the Kameleoon Python SDK in a Django environment

If you use Django, we recommend you to initialize the Kameleoon client at server start-up, in the apps.py file of your Django application.

When you use python manage.py runserver, Django starts two processes: one for the actual development server, and the other to reload your application when the code changes.

You can also start the server without the reload option, and you will only see one process running. The process is only executed once:

python manage.py runserver --noreload

You can also check the RUN_MAIN env var in the ready() method.

def ready(self):
    if os.environ.get('RUN_MAIN', None) == 'true':
        configuration_path = os.path.join(ROOT_DIR, 'path_to_config', 'config.yml')
        self.kameleoon_client = KameleoonClientFactory.create(SITE_CODE, config_path=configuration_path)

This only applies to local development when you use python manage.py runserver. In a production environment, the code in the ready() function will be executed only once when the application is initialized.

from django.apps import apps

my_application = apps.get_app_config('your_app')
client = my_application.kameleoon_client

You can then access the Kameleoon client in your application.

note

Another advantage of using Django is that the SDK will automaticallyo read and write the visitor_code on the HTTP request/response via a cookie. If you're using another framework in a web environment where you would like to use a cookie mechanism to persist the visitor_code, you must provide implementations of the read_cookies() and write_cookies() methods.

Cross-device experimentation

To support visitors who access your app from multiple devices, Kameleoon allows you to synchronize previously collected visitor data across each of the visitor's devices and reconcile their visit history across devices through cross-device experimentation. We recommend reading our article on cross-device experimentation for more information on how Kameleoon handles data across devices and detailed use cases.

Synchronizing custom data across devices

Although custom mapping synchronization is used to align visitor data across devices, it is not always necessary. Below are two scenarios where custom mapping sync is not required:

Same user ID across devices If the same user ID is used consistently across all devices, synchronization is handled automatically without a custom mapping sync. It is enough to call the get_remote_visitor_data() method when you want to sync the data collected between multiple devices.

Multi-server instances with consistent IDs In complex setups involving multiple servers (for example, distributed server instances), where the same user ID is available across servers, synchronization between servers (with get_remote_visitor_data()) is sufficient without additional custom mapping sync.

Customers who need additional data can refer to the get_remote_visitor_data() method description for further guidance. In the below code, it is assumed that the same unique identifier (in this case, the visitor_code, which can also be referred to as userId) is used consistently between the two devices for accurate data retrieval.

note

If you want to sync collected data in real time, you need to choose the scope Visitor for your custom data.

Device A
# In this example, Custom data with index `90` was set to "Visitor" scope in Kameleoon.
VISITOR_SCOPE_CUSTOM_DATA_INDEX = 90

kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, CustomData(VISITOR_SCOPE_CUSTOM_DATA_INDEX, "your data"))
kameleoon_client.flush(visitor_code)

Device B
# Before working with the data, call `get_remote_visitor_data`.
kameleoon_client.get_remote_visitor_data(visitor_code)

# After calling, the SDK on Device B will have access to CustomData of Visitor scope defined on Device A.
# So, "your data" will be available to target and track the visitor.

Using custom data for session merging

Cross-device experimentation allows you to combine a visitor's history across each of their devices (history reconciliation). History reconciliation allows you to merge different visitor sessions into one. To reconcile visit history, you can use CustomData to provide a unique identifier for the visitor. For more information, see our dedicated documentation.

After cross-device reconciliation is enabled, calling get_remote_visitor_data() with the parameter userId retrieves all known data for a given user.

Sessions with the same identifier will always be shown the same variation in an experiment. In the Visitor view of your experiment's results pages, these sessions will appear as a single visitor.

The SDK configuration ensures that associated sessions always see the same variation of the experiment. However, there are some limitations regarding cross-device variation allocation. We've outlined these limitations here.

Follow the activating cross-device history reconciliation guide to set up your custom data on the Kameleoon platform.

Afterwards, you can use the SDK normally. The following methods that may be helpful in the context of session merging:

get_remote_visitor_data() with added UniqueIdentifier(True) - to retrieve data for all linked visitors.
track_conversion() or flush() with added UniqueIdentifier(True) data - to track some data for specific visitor that is associated with another visitor.

tip

As the custom data you use as the identifier must be set to Visitor scope, you need to use cross-device custom data synchronization to retrieve the identifier with the get_remote_visitor_data() method on each device.

Here's an example of how to use custom data for session merging.

# In this example, `91` represents the Custom Data's index configured as a unique identifier in Kameleoon.
MAPPING_INDEX = 91
FEATURE_KEY = "ff123"

# 1. Before the visitor is authenticated

# Retrieve the variation for an unauthenticated visitor.
# Assume `anonymous_visitor_code` is the randomly generated ID for that visitor.
anonymous_variation = kameleoon_client.get_variation(anonymous_visitor_code, FEATURE_KEY)

# 2. After the visitor is authenticated

# Assume `user_id` is the visitor code of the authenticated visitor.
kameleoon_client.add_data(anonymous_visitor_code, CustomData(MAPPING_INDEX, user_id))
kameleoon_client.flush(anonymous_visitor_code, instant=True)

# Indicate that `user_id` is a unique identifier.
kameleoon_client.add_data(user_id, UniqueIdentifier(True))

# 3. After the visitor has been authenticated

# Retrieve the variation for the `user_id`, which will match the anonymous visitor code's variation.
user_variation = kameleoon_client.get_variation(user_id, FEATURE_KEY)
is_same_variation = user_variation.key == anonymous_variation.key  # True

# The `user_id` and `anonymous_visitor_code` are now linked and tracked as a single visitor.
kameleoon_client.track_conversion(user_id, 123, 10.0)

# Additionally, the linked visitors will share all fetched remote visitor data.
kameleoon_client.get_remote_visitor_data(user_id)

In this example, we have an application with a login page. Since we don't know the user ID at the moment of login, we use an anonymous visitor identifier generated by the get_visitor_code() method. After the user logs in, we can associate the anonymous visitor with the user ID and use it as a unique identifier for the visitor.

Targeting conditions

The Kameleoon SDKs support a variety of predefined targeting conditions that you can use to target users in your campaigns. For the list of conditions this SDK supports, see use visit history to target users.

You can also use your own external data to target users.

Logging

The SDK generates logs to reflect various internal processes and issues.

Log levels

The SDK supports configuring limiting logging by a log level.

from kameleoon.logging.log_level import LogLevel
from kameleoon.logging.kameleoon_logger import KameleoonLogger

# The `NONE` log level does not allow logging.
KameleoonLogger.set_log_level(LogLevel.NONE)

# The `ERROR` log level only allows logging issues that may affect the SDK's main behaviour.
KameleoonLogger.set_log_level(LogLevel.ERROR)

# The `WARNING` log level allows logging issues which may require additional attention.
# It extends the `ERROR` log level.
# The `WARNING` log level is a default log level.
KameleoonLogger.set_log_level(LogLevel.WARNING)

# The `INFO` log level allows logging general information on the SDK's internal processes.
# It extends the `WARNING` log level.
KameleoonLogger.set_log_level(LogLevel.INFO)

# The `DEBUG` log level allows logging extra information on the SDK's internal processes.
# It extends the `INFO` log level.
KameleoonLogger.set_log_level(LogLevel.DEBUG)

Custom handling of logs

The SDK writes its logs to the console output by default. This behaviour can be overridden.

note

Logging limiting by a log level is performed apart from the log handling logic.

from loguru import logger
from kameleoon.logging.log_level import LogLevel
from kameleoon.logging.logger import Logger


class CustomLogger(Logger):
    """Custom logger implementation using loguru."""

    def log(self, level: LogLevel, message: str) -> None:
        """Accepts logs from the SDK"""
        if level == LogLevel.ERROR:
            logger.error(message)
        elif level == LogLevel.WARNING:
            logger.warning(message)
        elif level == LogLevel.INFO:
            logger.info(message)
        elif level == LogLevel.DEBUG:
            logger.debug(message)


from kameleoon.logging.kameleoon_logger import KameleoonLogger

# Log level filtering is applied separately from log handling logic.
# The custom logger will only accept logs that meet or exceed the specified log level.
# Ensure the log level is set correctly.
KameleoonLogger.set_logger(CustomLogger())
KameleoonLogger.set_log_level(LogLevel.DEBUG)  # Optional, defaults to `LogLevel.WARNING`.

Reference

This is a full reference documentation of the Python SDK.

create()

To start using the SDK, you must complete the initialization. All interactions with the SDK are completed through an object called Kameleoon::KameleoonClient, so the first thing you must do is create this object.

kameleoon_config = KameleoonClientConfig("client-id", "client-secret")
kameleoon_client = KameleoonClientFactory.create("a8st4f59bj", kameleoon_config)

kameleoon_client = KameleoonClientFactory.create("a8st4f59bj", config_path="/etc/kameleoon/client-ruby.yaml")

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
site_code	str	This is a unique key of the Kameleoon project you are using with the SDK. This field is mandatory.
config	KameleoonClientConfig	Configuration SDK object that you can pass instead of using a configuration file. This field is optional.
config_path	str	Path to the SDK configuration file. This field is optional. The default value is `/etc/kameleoon/client-ruby.yaml`

Exceptions thrown

Type	Description
SiteCodeIsEmpty	Exception indicating that the specified site code is an empty string, which is an invalid value.
ConfigFileNotFound	Exception indicating that the configuration file was not found.

wait_init_async()

wait_init_async asynchronously waits for the Kameleoon client's initialization. This method lets you check if the client has been successfully initialized before proceeding with other operations.

kameleoon_client = KameleoonClientFactory.create('a8st4f59bj')

if await kameleoon_client.wait_init_async():
    # The SDK has been initialized; you can fetch a feature flag / experiment configuration here.

Return value

Type	Description
Coroutine[Any, Any, bool]	A coroutine that returns `True` if the Kameleoon client instance was successfully initialized, otherwise `False`.

wait_init()

wait_init synchronously waits for the Kameleoon client's initialization. This method lets you check if the client has been successfully initialized before proceeding with other operations.

kameleoon_client = KameleoonClientFactory.create('a8st4f59bj')

if kameleoon_client.wait_init():
    # The SDK has been initialized; you can fetch a feature flag / experiment configuration here.

Return value

Type	Description
bool	`True` if the Kameleoon client instance was successfully initialized, otherwise `False`.

Feature flags and variations

is_feature_active()

📨 Sends Tracking Data to Kameleoon (depending on the track parameter)

note

Previously called activate_feature—deprecated since SDK version 2.1.0 and will be removed in a future releases.

To check if feature flag is active for a visitor, call the is_feature_active() method.

This method takes a visitor_code and feature_key as mandatory arguments to check if the feature will be active for a given user.

If such a user has never been associated with this feature flag, the SDK returns a boolean value randomly (true if feature will be active for the user, or false if not). If a user with a given visitor_code is already registered with this feature flag, it will detect the previous feature flag value.

You must ensure that proper error handling is set up in your code as shown in the example to the right to catch potential exceptions.

If you specify a visitor_code, the is_feature_active() method uses the visitor_code as the unique visitor identifier, which is useful for cross-device experimentation. When you specify a visitor_code and set the is_unique_identifier parameter to true, the SDK links the flushed data to the visitor associated with the specified identifier.

note

The parameter is_unique_identifier is deprecated. Please use UniqueIdentifier instead.

The is_unique_identifier can also be useful in other edge-case scenarios, such as when you can't access the anonymous visitor_code that was originally assigned to the visitor, but you have access to an internal ID that is connected to the anonymous visitor using session merging capabilities.

visitor_code = kameleoon_client.get_visitor_code(request.COOKIES)
feature_key = "new_checkout"
has_new_checkout = False

try
    has_new_checkout = kameleoon_client.is_feature_active(visitor_code, feature_key)
    # disabling tracking
    has_new_checkout = kameleoon_client.is_feature_active(visitor_code, feature_key, track=False)
except FeatureNotFound as ex:
    # The user will not be counted in the experiment,
    # but should see the reference variation.
    has_new_checkout = False
except VisitorCodeInvalid as ex:
    # The visitor code you passed to the method isn't valid and can't be accepted by SDK.
    has_new_checkout = False

if has_new_checkout
    # Implement new checkout code here

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
visitor_code	str	Unique identifier of the user. This field is mandatory.
feature_key	str	ID or Key of the feature you want to expose to a user. This field is mandatory.
is_unique_identifier (Deprecated)	Optional[bool]	When set to `True`, the SDK links the flushed data to the visitor associated with the specified identifier.
track	bool	An optional parameter to enable or disable tracking of the feature evaluation (`True` by default).

Return value

Type	Description
bool	Value of the feature that is registered for a given visitor_code.

Exceptions thrown

Type	Description
FeatureNotFound	Exception indicating that the requested feature ID has not been found in the SDK's internal configuration. This exception is usually normal and means that the feature flag has not yet been activated on Kameleoon's side (but code implementing the feature is already deployed on the web-application's side).
VisitorCodeInvalid	Exception indicating that the provided visitor code is not valid (empty or longer than 255 characters).

get_variation()

📨 Sends Tracking Data to Kameleoon (depending on the track parameter)

Retrieves the Variation assigned to a given visitor for a specific feature flag.

This method takes a visitor_code and feature_key as mandatory arguments. The track argument is optional and defaults to True.

It returns the assigned Variation for the visitor. If the visitor is not associated with any feature flag rules, the method returns the default Variation for the given feature flag.

Ensure that proper error handling is implemented in your code to manage potential exceptions.

note

The default variation refers to the variation assigned to a visitor when they do not match any predefined delivery rules for a feature flag. In other words, it is the fallback variation applied to all users who are not targeted by specific rules. It's represented as the variation in the "Then, for everyone else..." section in a management interface.

feature_key = "new_checkout"

try:
    variation = kameleoon_client.get_variation(visitor_code, feature_key)
    # disabling tracking
    variation = kameleoon_client.get_variation(visitor_code, feature_key, False)
except FeatureNotFound as ex:
    # The error has occurred; the feature flag isn't found in current configuration.
except FeatureEnvironmentDisabled as ex:
    # The feature flag is disabled for the environment.
except VisitoCodeNotValid as ex:
    # The visitor code you passed to the method is invalid and can't be accepted by SDK.

# Fetch a variable value for the assigned variation
title = variation.variables["title"].value

if variation.key == "on":
    # Main variation key is selected for visitorCode
elif variation.key == "alternative_variation":
    # Alternative variation key
else:
    # Default variation key

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Default
visitor_code (required)	`str`	Unique identifier of the user.
feature_key (required)	`str`	Key of the feature you want to expose to a user.
track (optional)	`bool`	An optional parameter to enable or disable tracking of the feature evaluation.	`True`

Return value

Type	Description
`Variation`	An assigned `Variation` to a given visitor for a specific feature flag.

Exceptions thrown

Type	Description
`VisitorCodeInvalid`	Exception indicating that the provided visitor code is not valid. It is either empty or longer than 255 characters.
`FeatureNotFound`	Exception indicating that the requested feature key wasn't found in the internal configuration of the SDK. This usually means that the feature flag is not activated in the Kameleoon app (but code implementing the feature is already deployed on your application).
`FeatureEnvironmentDisabled`	Exception indicating that feature flag is disabled for the visitor's current environment (for example, production, staging, or development).

get_variations()

📨 Sends Tracking Data to Kameleoon (depending on the track parameter)

Retrieves a map of Variation objects assigned to a given visitor across all feature flags.

This method iterates over all available feature flags and returns the assigned Variation for each flag associated with the specified visitor. It takes visitor_code as a mandatory argument, while only_active and track are optional.

If only_active is set to True, the method get_variations() will return feature flags variations provided the user is not bucketed with the off variation.
The track parameter controls whether or not the method will track the variation assignments. By default, it is set to True. If set to False, the tracking will be disabled.

The returned map consists of feature flag keys as keys and their corresponding Variation as values. If no variation is assigned for a feature flag, the method returns the default Variation for that flag.

Proper error handling should be implemented to manage potential exceptions.

note

try:
    variations = kameleoon_client.get_variations(visitor_code)
    # only active variations
    variations = kameleoon_client.get_variations(visitor_code, only_active=True)
    # disable tracking
    variations = kameleoon_client.get_variations(visitor_code, track=False)
except VisitorCodeInvalid as ex:
    # Handle exception

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Default
visitor_code (required)	`str`	Unique identifier of the user.
only_active (optional)	`bool`	An optional parameter indicating whether to return variations for active (`True`) or all (`False`) feature flags.	`False`
track (optional)	`bool`	An optional parameter to enable or disable tracking of the feature evaluation.	`True`

Return value

Type	Description
`Dict[str, Variation]`	Map that contains the assigned `Variation` objects of the feature flags using the keys of the corresponding features.

Exceptions thrown

Type	Description
`VisitorCodeInvalid`	Exception indicating that the provided visitor code is not valid. It is either empty or longer than 255 characters.

get_feature_variation_key()

📨 Sends Tracking Data to Kameleoon

note

This method is deprecated and will be removed in SDK version 4.0.0. Use get_variation() instead.

To get a feature variation key, call the get_feature_variation_key method.

This method takes a visitor_code and feature_key as mandatory arguments to get a variation key for a given user.

If such a user has never been associated with this feature flag, the SDK returns a variation key randomly (according to the feature flag rules). If a user with a given visitor_code is already registered with this feature flag, it will detect the previous variation key value. If the user does not match any of the rules, the default value will be returned, which we can define in your customer's account.

You must ensure that proper error handling is set up in your code as shown in the example to the right to catch potential exceptions.

If you specify a visitor_code, the get_feature_variation_key method uses the visitor_code as the unique visitor identifier, which is useful for cross-device experimentation. When you specify a visitor_code and set the is_unique_identifier parameter to true, the SDK links the flushed data to the visitor associated with the specified identifier.

note

The parameter is_unique_identifier is deprecated. Please use UniqueIdentifier instead.

visitor_code = kameleoon_client.get_visitor_code(request.COOKIES)

feature_key = "feature_key"
variation_key = ""

try
    variation_key = kameleoon_client.get_feature_variation_key(visitor_code, feature_key)
    if variation_key == 'on':
        # main variation key is selected for visitorCode
    elif variation_key == 'alternative_variation':
        # alternative variation key
    else:
        # default variation key
except FeatureNotFound as ex:
    # The user will not be counted in the experiment, but should see the reference variation.
except VisitorCodeInvalid as ex:

Return value

Type	Description
string	Variation key of the feature flag that is registered for a given visitor_code.

Exceptions thrown

Type	Description
FeatureNotFound	Exception indicating that the requested feature ID has not been found in the SDK's internal configuration.

VisitorCodeInvalid	Exception indicating that the provided visitor code is not valid (empty, or longer than 255 characters).
FeatureEnvironmentDisabled	Exception indicating that the feature flag is disabled for certain environments.

get_active_features()

note

This method is deprecated and will be removed in SDK version 4.0.0. Use get_variations() instead.

This method only takes the input parameter visitorCode. The result only contains active features for a given visitor.

try:
    active_features = kameleoon_client_sdk.get_active_features(visitor_code)
except VisitorCodeInvalid as e:
    # Handle exception

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
visitor_code	str	Unique identifier of the user. This field is optional.

Return value

Type	Description
Dict[str, Variation]	List of features with assigned variations that are active for a given visitor_code

Exceptions thrown

Type	Description
VisitorCodeInvalid	Exception indicating that the provided visitor code is not valid. It is either empty or longer than 255 characters.

get_feature_list()

note

Previously called obtain_feature_list, which was removed in SDK version 3.0.0.

Returns a list of feature flag keys currently available for the SDK.

all_feature_list = kameleoon_client.get_feature_list()

Return value

Type	Description
`List[str]`	List of feature flag keys

get_active_feature_list_for_visitor()

note

Previously called obtain_feature_list, which was removed in SDK version 3.0.0.

This method only takes the input parameter visitorCode. The result only contains the active feature flags for a given visitor.

active_feature_flag_for_visitor = kameleoonClient.get_active_feature_list_for_visitor(visitor_code)

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
visitor_code	str	Unique identifier of the user. This field is optional.

Return value

Type	Description
List[str]	List of feature flag keys that are active for a given visitor_code

set_forced_variation()

The method allows you to programmatically assign a specific Variation to a user, bypassing the standard evaluation process. This is especially valuable for controlled experiments where the usual evaluation logic is not required or must be skipped. It can also be helpful in scenarios like debugging or custom testing.

When a forced variation is set, it overrides Kameleoon's real-time evaluation logic. Processes like segmentation, targeting conditions, and algorithmic calculations are skipped. To preserve segmentation and targeting conditions during an experiment, set force_targeting=False instead.

info

Simulated variations always take precedence in the execution order. If a simulated variation calculation is triggered, it will be fully processed and completed first.

A forced variation is treated the same as an evaluated variation. It is tracked in analytics and stored in the user context like any standard evaluated variation, ensuring consistency in reporting.

The method may throw exceptions under certain conditions (e.g., invalid parameters, user context, or internal issues). Proper exception handling is essential to ensure that your application remains stable and resilient.

caution

It’s important to distinguish forced variations from simulated variations:

Forced variations: Are specific to an individual experiment.
Simulated variations: Affect the overall feature flag result.

experiment_id = 9516
try:
    # Forcing the variation "on" for the experiment 9516 for the visitor
    kameleoon_client.set_forced_variation(visitor_code, experiment_id, "on")

    # Forcing the variation "on" while preserving segmentation and targeting conditions during the experiment
    kameleoon_client.set_forced_variation(visitor_code, experiment_id, "on", False)

    # Resetting the forced variation for the experiment 9516 for the visitor
    kameleoon_client.set_forced_variation(visitor_code, experiment_id, None)
except KameleoonError as e:
    # Handling the error

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Default
visitor_code (required)	`str`	Unique identifier of the user.
experiment_id (required)	`int`	Experiment Id that will be targeted and selected during the evaluation process.
variation_key (required)	`Optional[str]`	Variation Key corresponding to a `Variation` that should be forced as the returned value for the experiment. If the value is `None`, the forced variation will be reset.
force_targeting (optional)	`bool`	Indicates whether targeting for the experiment should be forced and skipped (`True`) or applied as in the standard evaluation process (`False`).	`True`

Exceptions thrown

Type	Description
`VisitorCodeInvalid`	Exception indicating that the provided visitor code is not valid. It is either empty or longer than 255 characters.
`FeatureExperimentNotFound`	Exception indicating that the requested experiment id has not been found in the SDK's internal configuration. This is usually normal and means that the rule's corresponding experiment has not yet been activated on Kameleoon's side.
`FeatureVariationNotFound`	Exception indicating that the requested variation key(id) has not been found in the internal configuration of the SDK. This is usually normal and means that the variation's corresponding experiment has not yet been activated on Kameleoon's side.

info

In most cases, you only need to handle the basic error, KameleoonError, as demonstrated in our example. However, if you need to respond to different types of errors, you can handle each one separately based on your requirements. Additionally, for enhanced reliability, you can (or should) also handle general language errors by including Exception.

Variables

get_feature_variable()

📨 Sends Tracking Data to Kameleoon

note

This method is deprecated and will be removed in SDK version 4.0.0. Use get_variation() instead.

note

Previously called obtain_feature_variable, which was removed in SDK version 3.0.0.

To get a variable of the variation key associated with a user, call the get_feature_variable method.

This method takes a visitor_code, feature_key, and variable_key as mandatory arguments.

If a user has never been associated with this feature flag, the SDK returns a variable value randomly (according to the feature flag rules). If a user with a given visitor_code is already registered with this feature flag, it will detect the variable value for the associated variation. If the user does not match any of the rules, the default variable will be returned.

You must ensure that proper error handling is set up in your code as shown in the example to the right to catch potential exceptions.

If you specify a visitor_code, the get_feature_variable method uses the visitor_code as the unique visitor identifier, which is useful for cross-device experimentation. When you specify a visitor_code and set the is_unique_identifier parameter to true, the SDK links the flushed data to the visitor associated with the specified identifier.

note

The parameter is_unique_identifier is deprecated. Please use UniqueIdentifier instead.

visitor_code = kameleoon_client.get_visitor_code(request.COOKIES)

feature_key = "feature_key"
variable_key = "variable_key"
variation_value = ""

try:
    variable_value = kameleoon_client.get_feature_variable(visitor_code, feature_key, variable_key)
except FeatureNotFound as ex:
    # The user will not be counted in the experiment, but should see the reference variation.
except FeatureVariableNotFound as ex:
    # Requested variable not defined on Kameleoon's side
except VisitorCodeInvalid as ex:

else:
    # ...

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
visitor_code	str	Unique identifier of the user. This field is mandatory.
feature_key	str	Key of the feature you want to expose to a user. This field is mandatory.
variable_key	str	Name of the variable you want to get a value. This field is mandatory.
is_unique_identifier (Deprecated)	Optional[bool]	When `True`, the SDK links the flushed data to the visitor associated with the specified identifier.

Return value

Type	Description
Union[bool, str, float, Dict[str, Any], List[Any], None]	Value of a variation's variable that is registered for a given visitor_code for this feature flag. Possible types: bool, float, str, List, Dict, None

Exceptions thrown

Type	Description
FeatureNotFound	Exception indicating that the requested feature ID has not been found in the SDK's internal configuration. This exception is usually normal and means that the feature flag has not yet been activated on Kameleoon's side (but code implementing the feature is already deployed on the web-application's side).
VisitorCodeInvalid	Exception indicating that the provided visitor code is not valid (empty, or longer than 255 characters).
FeatureVariableNotFound	Exception indicating that the requested variable has not been found. Check that the variable's key matches the one in your code.
FeatureEnvironmentDisabled	Exception indicating that the feature flag is disabled in certain environments.

get_feature_variation_variables()

note

This method is deprecated and will be removed in SDK version 4.0.0. Use get_variation() instead.

note

Previously called get_feature_all_variables, which was removed in SDK version 3.0.0.

To retrieve the all feature variables, call the get_feature_variation_variables method. A feature variable can be changed easily via our web application.

This method takes the feature_key input parameter. It will return data with the Dict[str,Any] type, as defined on the web interface. It will throw an exception (FeatureNotFound) if the requested feature has not been found in the SDK's internal configuration.

feature_key = "myFeature"

try
    data = kameleoon_client.get_feature_variation_variables(feature_key)
except FeatureNotFound as ex:
    # The feature is not activated on Kameleoon's side.
except FeatureEnvironmentDisabled as ex:
    # The feature flag is disabled for certain environments.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
feature_key	String	Key of the feature you want to obtain. This field is mandatory.

Return value

Type	Description
Dict[str, Any]	Data associated with this feature flag. The value can be int, str, bool or Dict or List (depending on the type defined on the web interface).

Exceptions thrown

Type	Description
FeatureNotFound	Exception indicating that the requested feature ID has not been found in the SDK's internal configuration. This exception is usually normal and means that the feature flag has not yet been activated on Kameleoon's side.
FeatureEnvironmentDisabled	Exception indicating that the feature flag is disabled in certain environments.

Visitor data

get_visitor_code()

note

This method was previously called obtain_visitor_code, which was removed in SDK version 3.0.0.

The get_visitor_code() helper method should be called to obtain the current visitor's Kameleoon visitor_code. This method is especially important when using Kameleoon in a mixed front-end and back-end environment, where user identification consistency must be guaranteed. The implementation logic is described here:

First we check if a kameleoonVisitorCode cookie or query parameter associated with the current HTTP request can be found. If so, we will use this as the visitor identifier.
If no cookie/parameter is found in the current request, we either randomly generate a new identifier, or use the default_visitor_code argument as an identifier if it is passed. This allows our customers to use their own identifiers as visitor codes, should they wish to, which has the added benefit of matching Kameleoon visitors with their own users without any additional look-ups in a matching table.
In any case, the server-side (via HTTP header) kameleoonVisitorCode cookie is set with the value. Then, this identifier value is finally returned by the method.

note

If you provide your own visitor_code, you must guarantee its uniqueness. The SDK doesn't validate the value passed as an argument. Also note that the length of visitor_code is limited to 255 characters. A VisitorCodeInvalid exception is raised if this limit is exceeded.

info

The get_visitor_code() method allows you to set simulated variations for a visitor. When cookies (from a request or document) contain the key kameleoonSimulationFFData, the standard evaluation process is bypassed. Instead, the method directly returns a Variation based on the provided data.

View Details

You can apply simulations in two ways:

Automatically (recommended): If you use Kameleoon Web Experimentation or our SDK in Hybrid mode, the cookie will be created automatically when simulating a variant's display using our Simulation Panel.
Manually: Set the kameleoonSimulationFFData cookie yourself.

It’s important to distinguish simulated variations from forced variations:

Simulated variations: Affect the overall feature flag result.
Forced variations: Are specific to an individual experiment.

⚙️ Manual setup

Please ensure that your kameleoonSimulationFFData cookie follows this format:

kameleoonSimulationFFData={"featureKey":{"expId":10,"varId":20}}: Simulates the variation with varId of experiment expId for the given featureKey.
kameleoonSimulationFFData={"featureKey":{"expId":0}}: Simulates the default variation (defined in the Then, for everyone else in Production, serve section) for the given featureKey.

⚠️ To ensure proper functionality, the cookie value must be encoded as a URI component using a method such as encodeURIComponent.

### if you use KameleoonWSGIMiddleware service
visitor_code = kameleoon_client.get_visitor_code(cookies_readonly=request.COOKIES)
kameleoon_client.set_legal_consent(visitor_code, True)

### if you want to manage cookies manually
simple_cookies = SimpleCookie()
simple_cookies.load(cookie_header)

visitor_code = kameleoon_client.get_visitor_code(cookies=simple_cookies, default_visitor_code=default_visitor_code)

cookie_header = simple_cookies.output()

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
cookies_readonly	Optional[Dict[str, str]]	Read-only dictionary, usually `request.COOKIES`. Use this parameter if you also use the `KameleoonWSGIMiddleware` service. This field is optional.
cookies	Optinal[Dict[str, http.cookies.Morsel[str]]]	Pass cookies on the current HTTP request as a`Dict[str, http.cookies.Morsel[str]]` or `http.cookies.\|SimpleCookie[str]` object if you manage cookies manually without `KameleoonWSGIMiddleware` service. This field is optional.
default_visitor_code	str	This parameter will be used as the visitor_code if no existing kameleoonVisitorCode cookie is found in the request. This field is optional, and by default, a random visitor_code will be generated.

Return value

Type	Description
str	A visitor_code that will be associated with this particular user and should be used with most of our SDK methods.

Exceptions thrown

Type	Description
VisitorCodeInvalid	Exception indicating that the provided visitor code is invalid. It is either empty or longer than 255 characters.

add_data()

The add_data() method adds targeting data to storage so other methods can use the data to decide whether or not to target the current visitor.

The add_data() method does not return any value and does not interact with Kameleoon back-end servers on its own. Instead, all the declared data is saved for future transmission using the flush() method. This approach reduces the number of server calls made, as the data is typically grouped into a single server call that is triggered the flush().

The track_conversion() method also sends out any previously associated data, just like the flush(). The same holds true for get_variation() and get_variations() methods if an experimentation rule is triggered.

tip

Each visitor can only have one instance of associated data for most data types. However, CustomData is an exception. Visitors can have one instance of associated CustomData per index.

require "kameleoon"
require "kameleoon/data"

visitor_code = kameleoon_client.get_visitor_code(request.COOKIES)

kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, Browser(BrowserType.CHROME))
kameleoon_client.add_data(
    visitor_code,
    PageView("https://url.com", "title", [3]),
    CustomData(0, "value")
)
kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, Conversion(32, 10, false))

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
visitor_code (required)	`str`	Unique identifier of the user.
data (required)	`*Data`	Collection of Kameleoon data types.

Exceptions

Type	Description
`VisitorCodeInvalid`	Exception indicating that the provided visitor code is not valid. It is either empty or longer than 255 characters.

flush()

📨 Sends Tracking Data to Kameleoon

flush() takes the Kameleoon data associated with the visitor and all of the data that was added previously using the add_data method, that has not yet been sent when calling one of these methods, and sends a tracking request. flush() is non-blocking, as the server call is made asynchronously.

flush() lets you control when the data associated with a given visitor_code is sent to our servers. For instance, if you call add_data() a dozen times, it would be inefficient to send data to the server each time add_data() is invoked, so you only have to call flush() once at the end.

If you specify a visitor_code, the flush() method uses it as the unique visitor identifier, which is useful for cross-device experimentation. When you specify a visitor_code and set the is_unique_identifier parameter to true, the SDK links the flushed data to the visitor associated with the specified identifier.

note

The parameter is_unique_identifier is deprecated. Please use UniqueIdentifier instead.

kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, Browser(BrowserType.CHROME))
kameleoon_client.add_data(
    visitor_code,
    PageView("https://url.com", "title", [3]),
    CustomData(0, "value")
)
kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, Conversion(32, 10, false))

kameleoon_client.flush(visitor_code)  # Interval tracking (most performant way for tracking)

kameleoon_client.flush(visitor_code, instant=True)  # Instant tracking

# If you operate with unique ID
kameleoon_client.add_data(UniqueIdentifier(True))
kameleoon_client.flush(visitor_code)

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
visitor_code	String	Unique identifier of the user. This field is mandatory.
is_unique_identifier (Deprecated)	Optional[bool]	When `True`, the SDK links the flushed data to the visitor associated with the specified identifier.
instant	bool	Boolean flag indicating whether the data should be sent instantly (`True`) or according to the scheduled tracking interval (`False`). If not provided, the default value is `False`. This field is optional.

get_remote_data()

note

Previously called retrieve_data_from_remote_source, which was removed in SDK version 3.0.0.
If you want to retrieve data asynchronously, use the get_remote_data_async method instead (available since version 2.3.0).

The get_remote_data method retrieves data synchronously (according to a key passed as argument) for a specified site_code (specified with KameleoonClient.__init__) stored on a remote Kameleoon server. Data is usually stored in our remote servers via our Data API. This method, along with the availability of our highly scalable servers for this purpose, provides a convenient method for storing massive amounts of data that can be retrieved for each of your visitors/users.

    kameleoon_client.get_remote_data('key1') # default timeout

    kameleoon_client.get_remote_data('key2', 1.0) # 1 second timeout

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
key	str	The key the data is associated with. This field is mandatory.
timeout	Optional[float]	Timeout (in seconds). This parameter specifies the maximum amount of time the method can block to wait for a result. This field is optional; if not provided, it will use the `default_timeout_millisecond` value from configuration file, or two seconds if it's not specified in the file.

Return value

Type	Description
JSON object	JSON object associated with retrieving data for specific key.

get_remote_data_async()

The get_remote_data_async method lets you retrieve data asynchronously (according to a key passed as argument) for specified site_code (specified with KameleoonClient.__init__) stored in a remote Kameleoon server. Data is usually stored on our remote servers via our Data API. This method, along with the availability of our highly scalable servers for this purpose, provides a convenient method for storing massive amounts of data that can be retrieved for each of your visitors/users.

    await kameleoon_client.get_remote_data_async('key1') # default timeout

    await kameleoon_client.get_remote_data_async('key2', 1.0) # 1 second timeout

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
key	str	The key the data is associated with. This field is mandatory.
timeout	Optional[float]	Timeout (in seconds). This parameter specifies the maximum amount of time the method can block to wait for a result. This field is optional; if not provided, it will use the `default_timeout_millisecond` value from configuration file or two seconds if it's not specified in the file.

Return value

Type	Description
JSON object	JSON object associated with retrieving data for a specific key.

get_remote_visitor_data()

get_remote_visitor_data() is an asynchronous method for retrieving Kameleoon Visits Data for the visitor_code from the Kameleoon Data API. The method adds the data to storage for other methods to use when making targeting decisions.

Data obtained using this method plays an important role when you want to:

use data collected from other devices.
access a user's history, such as visited pages during past visits.
use data that is only accessible on the client-side, like datalayer variables and goals that only convert on the front-end.

Read this article for a better understanding of possible use cases.

caution

By default, get_remote_visitor_data() automatically retrieves the latest stored custom data with scope=visitor and attaches them to the visitor without the need to call the add_data() method. It is particularly useful for synchronizing custom data between multiple devices.

note

The parameter is_unique_identifier is deprecated. Please use UniqueIdentifier instead.

    visitor_code = 'visitorCode'

    # Visitor data will be fetched and automatically added for `visitor_code`
    data_list = kameleoon_client.get_remote_visitor_data(visitor_code)  # default timeout
    data_list = kameleoon_client.get_remote_visitor_data(visitor_code, timeout=1.0)  # 1 second timeout

    # If you only want to fetch data and add it yourself manually, set `add_data` to `False`
    data_list = kameleoon_client.get_remote_visitor_data(visitor_code, False)  # default timeout
    data_list = kameleoon_client.get_remote_visitor_data(visitor_code, False, 1.0)  # 1 second timeout

    # If you want to fetch custom list of data types
    data_filter = RemoteVisitorDataFilter(25, customData=False, conversions=True, experiments=True)
    data_list = kameleoon_client.get_remote_visitor_data(visitor_code, data_filter=data_filter)

    # If you want the SDK to link the extracted data with the visitor associated with the specified identifier.
    kameleoon_client.add_data(UniqueIdentifier(True))
    data_list = kameleoon_client.get_remote_visitor_data(visitor_code)

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
visitor_code	str	The visitor code for which you want to retrieve the assigned data. This field is mandatory.
add_data	bool	A boolean indicating whether the method should automatically add retrieved data for a visitor. If not specified, the default value is True. This field is optional.
data_filter	RemoteVisitorDataFilter	Filter that specifies what data should be retrieved from visits. By default, only `CustomData` is retrieved from the current and latest previous visit (`RemoteVisitorDataFilter(previousVisitAmount=1, currentVisit=True, customData=True)` or `RemoteVisitorDataFilter()`). Other filters parameters are set to `False`. This field is optional.
is_unique_identifier (Deprecated)	Optional[bool]	An optional parameter for specifying if the `visitorCode` is a unique identifier. If not provided, the default value is `False`. This field is optional.
timeout	Optional[float]	Timeout (in seconds). This parameter specifies the maximum amount of time the method can block to wait for a result. This field is optional; if not provided, it will use the `default_timeout_millisecond` value from configuration file or two seconds if it's not specified in the file.

Using parameters in get_remote_visitor_data()

The get_remote_visitor_data() method offers flexibility by letting you define various parameters when retrieving data on visitors. Whether you're targeting based on goals, experiments, or variations, the same approach applies to all data types.

For example, suppose you want to retrieve data on visitors who completed the goal "Order transaction". You can specify parameters within the get_remote_visitor_data() method to refine your targeting. For instance, if you want to target only users who converted on the goal in their last five visits, you can set the previous_visit_amount parameter to 5 and conversions to true.

The flexibility shown in this example is not limited to goal data. You can use parameters within the get_remote_visitor_data() method to retrieve data on a variety of visitor behaviors.

Return value

Type	Description
List[Data]	A list of data assigned to the given visitor.

note

Here is the list of available Kameleoon::Configuration::RemoteVisitorDataFilter options:

Name	Type	Description	Default
previous_visit_amount (optional)	`int`	Number of previous visits to retrieve data from. Number between `1` and `25`	`1`
current_visit (optional)	`bool`	If True, current visit data will be retrieved	`True`
custom_data (optional)	`bool`	If True, custom data will be retrieved.	`True`
page_views (optional)	`bool`	If True, page data will be retrieved.	`False`
geolocation (optional)	`bool`	If True, geolocation data will be retrieved.	`False`
device (optional)	`bool`	If True, device data will be retrieved.	`False`
browser (optional)	`bool`	If True, browser data will be retrieved.	`False`
operating_system (optional)	`bool`	If True, operating system data will be retrieved.	`False`
conversions (optional)	`bool`	If True, conversion data will be retrieved.	`False`
experiments (optional)	`bool`	If True, experiment data will be retrieved.	`False`
kcs (optional)	`bool`	If true, Kameleoon Conversion Score (KCS) will be retrieved. Requires the AI Predictive Targeting add-on	`False`
visitor_code (optional)	`bool`	If true, Kameleoon will retrieve the `visitorCode` from the most recent visit and use it for the current visit. This is necessary if you want to ensure that the visitor, identified by their `visitorCode`, always receives the same variant across visits for cross-device experimentation.	`True`
cbs (optional)	`bool`	If true, Contextual Bandit score data will be retrieved.	`False`
personalization (optional)	`bool`	If True, personalization data will be retrieved. This is required for the personalization condition.	`False`

get_remote_visitor_data_async()

The get_remote_visitor_data_async method asynchronously retrieves custom data stored in remote Kameleoon servers for a visitor (specified using the visitor_code argument). If add_data is True, this method automatically adds the retrieved data to a visitor without requiring you to make a separate add_data call.

You must have previously stored data in our remote servers, which you can add with any of the following tracking calls in the SDK:

flush
get_feature_variation_key
get_feature_variable
is_feature_active

Using the get_remote_visitor_data method along with the availability of our highly scalable servers provides a convenient method for accessing and synchronizing large amounts of data across all of the visitor's devices.

If you specify a visitor_code, the get_remote_visitor_data_async method uses the visitor_code as the unique visitor identifier, which is useful for cross-device experimentation. When you specify a visitor_code and set the is_unique_identifier parameter to true, the SDK links the flushed data to the visitor associated with the specified identifier.

note

The parameter is_unique_identifier is deprecated. Please use UniqueIdentifier instead.

Using parameters in get_remote_visitor_data_async()

The get_remote_visitor_data_async() method offers flexibility by letting you define various parameters when retrieving data on visitors. Whether you're targeting based on goals, experiments, or variations, the same approach applies across all data types.

For example, suppose you want to retrieve data on visitors who completed the goal "Order transaction". You can specify parameters within the get_remote_visitor_data_async() method to refine your targeting. For instance, if you want to target only users who converted on the goal in their last five visits, you can set the previous_visit_amount parameter to 5 and conversions to true.

The flexibility shown in this example is not limited to goal data. You can use parameters within the get_remote_visitor_data_async() method to retrieve data on a variety of visitor behaviors.

set_legal_consent()

You must use this method to specify whether the visitor has given legal consent to use personal data. Setting the consent parameter to False limits the types of data that you can include in tracking requests. This method helps you adhere to legal and regulatory requirements while responsibly managing visitor data. You can find more information on personal data in our consent management policy.

### if you use KameleoonWSGIMiddleware service
visitor_code = kameleoon_client.get_visitor_code(cookies_readonly=request.COOKIES)
kameleoon_client.set_legal_consent(visitor_code, True)

### if you want to manage cookies manually
cookies = http.cookies.SimpleCookie()
cookies.load(cookie_header)

visitor_code = kameleoon_client.get_visitor_code(cookies=cookies)
kameleoon_client.set_legal_consent(visitor_code, True, cookies)

cookie_header = cookies.output()

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
visitor_code	str	The user's unique identifier. This field is required.

forget()

The forget method removes a KameleoonClient instance from the KameleoonClientFactory with the specified site_code and frees resources used by the KameleoonClient instance. The KameleoonClient instance must not be used after calling the forget method.

If you specify a visitor_code, the track_conversion method uses the visitor_code as the unique visitor identifier, which is useful for cross-device experimentation. When you specify a visitor_code and set the is_unique_identifier parameter to true, the SDK links the flushed data to the visitor associated with the specified identifier.

note

require "kameleoon"
require "kameleoon/data"

visitor_code = kameleoon_client.get_visitor_code(request.COOKIES)
goal_id = 83023

kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, Browser(BrowserType.CHROME))
kameleoon_client.add_data(
    visitor_code,
    PageView("https://url.com", "title", [3]),
    CustomData(2, "value")
)
kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, Conversion(32, 10, false))
kameleoon_client.track_conversion(visitor_code, goal_id)

Arguments

Name	Type	Description

Goals and third-party analytics

get_engine_tracking_code()

Kameleoon offers built-in integrations with several analytics solutions, including Mixpanel, Google Analytics 4, and Segment. To ensure that you can track and analyze your server-side experiments, Kameleoon provides the method get_engine_tracking_code() to automatically send exposure events to the analytics solution you are using. The SDK builds a tracking code for your active analytics solution based on the experiments the visitor has triggered in the last 5 seconds. Please refer to our hybrid experimentation for more information on implementing this method.

note

You must implement both the Python SDK and our Kameleoon JavaScript tag to benefit from this feature. We recommend you implement the Kameleoon asynchronous tag, which you can install before your closing <body> tag in your HTML page, as it will be only used for tracking purposes.

info

The following string will be returned:

window.kameleoonQueue = window.kameleoonQueue || [];
window.kameleoonQueue.push(['Experiments.assignVariation', experiment1ID, variation1ID]);
window.kameleoonQueue.push(['Experiments.trigger', experiment1ID, true]);
window.kameleoonQueue.push(['Experiments.assignVariation', experiment2ID, variation2ID]);
window.kameleoonQueue.push(['Experiments.trigger', experiment2ID, true]);

Here, experiment1ID, experiment2ID and variation1ID, variation2ID represent the specific experiments and variations that users have been assigned to.

engine_tracking_code = kameleoon_client.get_engine_tracking_code(visitor_code)

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
visitor_code (required)	`str`	Unique identifier of the user.

Return value

Type	Desription
`str`	JavaScript code to be inserted in your page

track_conversion()

📨 Sends Tracking Data to Kameleoon

Use this method to track a conversion for a specific goal and user. This method requires visitor_code and goal_id. In addition, this method also accepts an optional revenue, negative and metadata arguments. The visitor_code is usually identical to the one that was used when triggering the experiment.

The track_conversion() method doesn't return any value. This method is non-blocking as the server call is made asynchronously.

note

The parameter is_unique_identifier is deprecated. Please use UniqueIdentifier instead.

The is_unique_identifier can also be useful in other edge-case scenarios, such as when you can't access the anonymous visitor_code that was originally assigned to the visitor, but you do have access to an internal ID that is connected to the anonymous visitor using session merging capabilities.

visitor_code = "visitorCode"
goal_id = 83023

kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, Browser(BrowserType.CHROME))
kameleoon_client.add_data(
    visitor_code,
    PageView("https://url.com", "title", [3]),
    CustomData(2, "value")
)
kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, Conversion(32, 10, False))

# Add metadata
cd = CustomData(1, "metadata")
kameleoon_client.track_conversion(visitorCode, goalId, metadata=[cd])

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Default
visitor_code (required)	`str`	Unique identifier of the user.
goal_id (required)	`int`	ID of the goal.
revenue (optional)	`float`	Revenue of the conversion.	`0`
negative (optional)	`bool`	Defines if the revenue is positive or negative.	`False`
metadata (optional)	`Optional[Iterable[CustomData]]`	Metadata of the conversion.	`None`
is_unique_identifier (deprecated)	`bool`	An optional parameter for specifying if the visitor_code is a unique identifier.	`False`

Exceptions

Type	Description
`VisitorCodeInvalid`	Exception indicating that the provided visitor code is not valid. It is either empty or longer than 255 characters.

Events

on_update_configuration()

The on_update_configuration() method allows you to handle the event when configuration has updated data. It takes one input parameter, handler. The handler that will be called when the configuration is updated using a real-time configuration event.

kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, PageView("https://url.com", "title", [3]))

Conversion

The Conversion data set stored here can be used to filter experiment and personalization reports by any goal associated with it.

tip

Each visitor can have multiple Conversion objects.
You can find the goal_id in the Kameleoon app.

Name	Type	Description	Default
goal_id (required)	`int`	ID of the goal.

    visitor_code,
    Conversion(34, 5, metadata=[
        CustomData(3, "metadata1", "md2"),
        CustomData(5, "md3"),
    ])
)

CustomData

CustomData allows any type of data to be easily associated with each visitor. It can then be used as a targeting condition in segments or as a filter/breakdown in experiment reports.

To learn more about custom data, please refer to this article.

Name	Type	Description
id	int	Index of the custom data. This field is required.
*args	str	Values of the custom data to be stored. This field is required.

note

Each visitor can only have one CustomData for each unique index. Adding another CustomData with the same index will replace the existing CustomData.
The custom data index can be found in the Custom Data dashboard under the “INDEX” column.
To prevent the SDK from sending data with the selected index to Kameleoon servers for privacy reasons, enable the Use this data only locally for targeting purposes option when creating custom data.

from kameleoon.data import CustomData

kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, CustomData(1, "some custom value"))

kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, CustomData(1, "first value", "second value"))

Device

from kameleoon import Device, DeviceType

kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, Device(DeviceType.DESKTOP))

UserAgent

Store information on the visitor's user-agent. Server-side experiments are more vulnerable to bot traffic than client-side experiments. To address this, Kameleoon uses the IAB/ABC International Spiders and Bots List to identify known bots and spiders. Kameleoon also uses the UserAgent field to filter out bots and other unwanted traffic that could otherwise skew your conversion metrics. For more details, see the help article on bot filtering.

If you use internal bots, we suggest that you pass the value curl/8.0 of the userAgent to exclude them from our analytics.

Name	Type	Description
value	str	The User-Agent value that will be sent with tracking requests. This field is mandatory.

from kameleoon.data import UserAgent

kameleoon_client.add_data(visitor_code, UserAgent('userAgent'))

UniqueIdentifier

If you don't add UniqueIdentifier for a visitor, visitor_code is used as the unique visitor identifier, which is useful for cross-device experimentation. When you add UniqueIdentifier for a visitor, the SDK links the flushed data to the visitor associated with the specified identifier.

The UniqueIdentifier can also be useful in other edge-case scenarios, such as when you can't access the anonymous visitor_code that was originally assigned to the visitor, but you have access to an internal ID that is connected to the anonymous visitor using session merging capabilities.

Name	Type	Description
value	bool	Parameter for specifying if the visitor_code is a unique identifier. This field is required.

from kameleoon.data import UniqueIdentifier
