Device Detection services for 51Degrees Pipeline

51Degrees Device Detection Engines

51Degrees v4 Device Detection Python

Developer Documentation | Available Properties

Introduction

This project contains 51Degrees Device Detection engines that can be used with the Pipeline API.

The Pipeline is a generic web request intelligence and data processing solution with the ability to add a range of 51Degrees and/or custom plug ins (Engines)

This git repository uses submodules, to clone the git repository run:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/51Degrees/device-detection-python.git

or if already cloned run the following to obtain all sub modules.:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Requirements

  • Python 3.5+
  • The flask python library to run the web examples
  • Git Large File System (LFS) for sub module device-detection-cxx\device-detection-data
  • Additional requirements are for the on-premise Device-Detection Engine.
  • On Windows
    • Visual Studio 2019 or equivalent C++ build tools
      • Minimum Platform Toolset Version v142
      • Minimum Windows SDK Version 10.0.18362.0

        Folders

  • fiftyone_devicedetection - references both cloud and on-premise packages, contains generic Device-Detection Pipeline Builder.
    • examples - examples for switching between cloud and on-premise.
  • fiftyone_devicedetection_cloud - cloud implementation of the engines.
    • tests - tests for the cloud engine and examples.
  • fiftyone_devicedetection_onpremise - uses a native library which is built during setup to provide optimal performance and low latency device detections.
    • tests - tests for the on-premise engine.
  • fiftyone_devicedetection_shared - common components used by the cloud and on-premise packages.
  • fiftyone_devicedetection_examples - cloud and on-premise examples.
    • tests - tests for the examples.

Installation

PyPi

To install all packages, run:

python -m pip install fiftyone-devicedetection

The fiftyone-devicedetection package references both cloud and on-premise packages. If you do not want the on-premise engine or cannot meet the requirements for installing on-premise then install the cloud package on its own:

python -m pip install fiftyone-devicedetection-cloud

See the cloud package readme for more details specifics.

GitHub

It is recommended to use Pipenv when build packages. Pipenv will ensure all the required packages for building and testing are available e.g. cython and flask.

python -m pip install pipenv
pipenv install
pipenv shell

There are various methods to build and install the packages.

make install

other make targets:

  • cloud - only setup packages required for cloud
  • onpremise - only setup packages required for onpremise
  • test - run package tests
  • clean - remove temporary files created when building extensions

For convenience, there is also a powershell setup script called setup.ps1. To run it, you may need to update the execution policy to allow unsigned scripts to execute:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser Bypass
.\setup.ps1

If you want to perform the steps manually, these are the commands to build the native on-premise library and install the packages.

python -m pip install -e fiftyone_devicedetection_shared/
python -m pip install -e fiftyone_devicedetection_cloud/
cd fiftyone_devicedetection_onpremise/
python setup.py build_clib build_ext
cd ../
python -m pip install -e fiftyone_devicedetection_onpremise/
python -m pip install -e fiftyone_devicedetection/

Examples

Then, to run an example, navigate into the example module directory.

cd fiftyone_devicedetection_examples/

Then run an example:

python -m fiftyone_devicedetection_examples.cloud.gettingstarted_console
