moonito-python

Official Python SDK for Moonito — a smart analytics and visitor filtering platform designed to protect your website from unwanted traffic, bots, and malicious activity while providing deep visitor insights.

moonito-python is a lightweight Python SDK for integrating your web application with the Moonito Visitor Analytics API.

It allows you to:

• Analyze and monitor web traffic intelligently
• Filter out bots, crawlers, and unwanted visitors
• Get real-time visitor behavior insights
• Protect APIs, landing pages, and web apps automatically

Compatible with Flask, Django, FastAPI, and other Python web frameworks.

📦 Installation

pip install moonito

🚀 Quick Start

Flask Example

from flask import Flask, request, Response
from moonito import VisitorTrafficFiltering, Config

app = Flask(__name__)

# Initialize Moonito
client = VisitorTrafficFiltering(Config(
    is_protected=True,
    api_public_key="YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY",
    api_secret_key="YOUR_SECRET_KEY",
    unwanted_visitor_to="https://example.com/blocked",  # URL or HTTP status code
    unwanted_visitor_action=1  # 1 = Redirect, 2 = Iframe, 3 = Load content
))

@app.before_request
def check_visitor():
    """Middleware to check visitors before processing requests"""
    result = client.evaluate_visitor(request)
    
    if result and result['need_to_block']:
        content = result['content']
        
        if isinstance(content, int):
            return Response(status=content)
        
        return Response(content, mimetype='text/html')

@app.route('/')
def home():
    return 'Hello, World!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(port=8080)

Django Example

# middleware.py
from moonito import VisitorTrafficFiltering, Config
from django.http import HttpResponse

class MoonitoMiddleware:
    def __init__(self, get_response):
        self.get_response = get_response
        
        # Initialize Moonito
        self.client = VisitorTrafficFiltering(Config(
            is_protected=True,
            api_public_key="YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY",
            api_secret_key="YOUR_SECRET_KEY",
            unwanted_visitor_to="https://example.com/blocked",
            unwanted_visitor_action=1
        ))

    def __call__(self, request):
        # Check visitor
        result = self.client.evaluate_visitor(request)
        
        if result and result['need_to_block']:
            content = result['content']
            
            if isinstance(content, int):
                return HttpResponse(status=content)
            
            return HttpResponse(content)
        
        response = self.get_response(request)
        return response

Add to settings.py:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'your_app.middleware.MoonitoMiddleware',
    # ... other middleware
]

FastAPI Example

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, Response
from moonito import VisitorTrafficFiltering, Config

app = FastAPI()

# Initialize Moonito
client = VisitorTrafficFiltering(Config(
    is_protected=True,
    api_public_key="YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY",
    api_secret_key="YOUR_SECRET_KEY",
    unwanted_visitor_to="https://example.com/blocked",
    unwanted_visitor_action=1
))

@app.middleware("http")
async def moonito_middleware(request: Request, call_next):
    """Middleware to check visitors"""
    result = client.evaluate_visitor(request)
    
    if result and result['need_to_block']:
        content = result['content']
        
        if isinstance(content, int):
            return Response(status_code=content)
        
        return Response(content=content, media_type="text/html")
    
    response = await call_next(request)
    return response

@app.get("/")
def read_root():
    return {"message": "Hello World"}
