My server-side python SDK sent out an event, but i don't see it

def tell_amplitude_account_created(user_id:int, account_id:int):<br />    """<br />    server_side API to Amplitude about account_created<br />    """<br /><br />    client = Amplitude(AMPLITUDE_API_KEY)<br /><br />    # see <br />    # One of user_id and device_id is required<br /><br />    # Track events with optional properties<br />    # identify_obj=Identify()<br />    # identify_obj.set("account_id", str(account_id))<br />    # client.identify(identify_obj, EventOptions(user_id=str(user_id)))<br />    client.track(<br />        BaseEvent(<br />            event_type = "account_created",<br />            user_id = str(user_id),<br />            event_properties = {<br />                "signup_via": "github",<br />            }<br />        )<br />    )

Under data

Nothing shows up. HOw do i troubleshoot this?

Please make it easy for me to troubleshoot. I’m seriously considering to move to mixpanel if this is too difficult

Hello kimsia to my understanding, you are having some trouble sending in events via the Python SDK.

Have you installed and imported the Python SDK into the code? For example, I installed the Python SDK to my mac using PIP.

pip install amplitude-analytics

"""A very simple example of using Amplitude Python SDK to track  events"""<br /><br />from amplitude import Amplitude,BaseEvent<br /><br /><br />def callback_fun(e, code, message):<br />    """A callback function"""<br />    print(e)<br />    print(code, message)<br /><br /><br /># Initialize a Amplitude client instance<br />amp_client = Amplitude(api_key="API_Key")<br /># Config a callback function<br />amp_client.configuration.callback = callback_fun<br /><br /># Create a BaseEvent instance<br />event = BaseEvent(event_type="Test python SDK", user_id="test_user_id", device_id="test_devece_id")<br /># Set event properties<br />event["event_properties"] = {<br />    "keywords": ["amplitude", "python"],<br />    "likes": True<br />}<br />amp_client.track(event)<br /><br /># Flush the event buffer<br />amp_client.flush()<br /><br /># Shutdown the client<br />amp_client.shutdown()

Then I ran python3 trackevent.py and got a successful response and I can see the event got ingested into my project.

Could you try using the code I provided above into a python file and try to run it that way? Also, if it’s helpful the engineering team has great examples on the Python SDK in GitHub: https://github.com/amplitude/Amplitude-Python/tree/main/examples

 

Hope this helps!
