Description: How to add DataFast to your Django project
# Add DataFast to your Django project
Follow these steps to integrate DataFast analytics into your Django application.
## Add tracking script to base template
The recommended way to add scripts to all pages in a Django application is by using the base template.
1. Open your project's base template, typically located at `templates/base.html`.
2. Add the DataFast tracking script to the `` section of your template:
```html
```
> Replace `dfid_******` with your actual Website ID from DataFast.
> Replace `your_domain.com` with your website's root domain.
## Alternative: Using Django settings
For more dynamic configuration, you can add the script through Django settings:
1. Add your DataFast configuration to `settings.py`:
```python
DATAFAST_WEBSITE_ID = 'dfid_******'
DATAFAST_DOMAIN = 'your_domain.com'
```
2. In your base template, use the settings:
```html
```
## Verify installation
After implementing either method:
- Visit your live website
- Check your [DataFast dashboard](/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](/docs/script-configuration).
