Install the Django SDK

Add django-altified to a Django project, connect it with a secret API key, and verify the SDK can reach Altified.

Install the package in the same Python environment that runs your Django application.

Terminal

pip install django-altified

Add the SDK to INSTALLED_APPS and configure the API URL and secret key from your Altified dashboard.

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...,
    "django_altified",
]

ALTIFIED_API_KEY = "altified_..."
ALTIFIED_API_URL = "https://your-altified-domain.com/api/v1"

Use a secret Altified key for Django server-side syncing.
Keep the key in environment variables in production.
Set ALTIFIED_API_URL to your deployed Altified backend or local backend during development.
Configure default and target languages in the Altified dashboard, not in Django settings.

Local backend

When testing against this repository locally, use ALTIFIED_API_URL=http://localhost:8000/api/v1.
