Python Interceptor
Installation
To begin the installation process, execute the following command:
pip3 install 'lunar-interceptor==0.4.*'
Configuration
The only required configuration is the LUNAR_PROXY_HOST environment variable. This variable should be set to the host or IP of Lunar Proxy, including the port it is listening on.
For example:
export LUNAR_PROXY_HOST="localhost:8000"
This environment variable sets the host and port for Lunar Proxy. Set this to localhost:8000 if you're running Lunar Proxy in a local Docker container. The value assigned to LUNAR_PROXY_HOST should only include the hostname and port, without the HTTP prefix. For example, use localhost:8000 and not http://localhost:8000.
For more details and other configuration options, refer to our Configuration Guide
[Optional] Identifying Your Consumer by the x-lunar-consumer-tag Header
Add the x-lunar-consumer-tag header to your requests with a value indicating the originating application or service. This header will be removed before the request is forwarded to third-party providers.
Usage
Import Lunar Interceptor into the application entry point at the beginning of the file.
import lunar_interceptor
# imports ...
# your code
def main():
Run Your App and Validate Proxy/Interceptor Linkage
