Add heatmapp to your Django application

Follow these steps to integrate heatmapp analytics into your Django application.

Add tracking script to your Django app

Add the tracking script to your Django application in your main template:


1. Open your `templates/base.html` file

2. Add the script to the `<head>` section:

Code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>{% block title %}Django App{% endblock %}</title>
    
    <!-- Add heatmapp tracking script -->
    <script
      defer
      data-website-id="YOUR_WEBSITE_ID"
      data-domain="your_domain.com"
      src="https://heatm.app/js/script.v2.min.js"
    ></script>
</head>
<body>
    {% block content %}
    {% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
!

Replace `YOUR_WEBSITE_ID` with your actual Website ID from heatmapp. Replace `your_domain.com` with your website's root domain.

Verify installation

After implementing:


  • Visit your live website
  • Check your heatmapp dashboard for incoming data
  • It might take a few minutes for the first pageviews to appear

For advanced configuration options like localhost tracking, custom API endpoints, or cross-domain setup, see the script configuration reference.
