Track API calls in Node.js with Piwik
When using Piwik for analytics, sometimes you don’t want to track only your website’s visitors. Especially as modern web services usually offer RESTful APIs, why not use Piwik to track those requests as well ? It really gives you a more accurate view on how users interact with your services : In which ways do your clients use your APIs compared to your website ? Which of your services are used the most ? And what kind of tools are consuming your API ?
If you’re using Node.js as your application platform, you can use piwik-tracker. It’s a lightweight wrapper for Piwik’s own Tracking HTTP API, which helps you tracking your requests.
First, start with installing
piwik-tracker
as a dependency for your project :npm install piwik-tracker --save
Then create a new tracking instance with your Piwik URL and the site ID of the project you want to track. As Piwik requires a fully qualified URL for analytics, add it in front of the actual request URL.
var PiwikTracker = require('piwik-tracker');
// Initialize with your site ID and Piwik URL
var piwik = new PiwikTracker(1, 'http://mywebsite.com/piwik.php');
// Piwik works with absolute URLs, so you have to provide protocol and hostname
var baseUrl = 'http://example.com';
// Track a request URL:
piwik.track(baseUrl + req.url);Of cause you can do more than only tracking simple URLs : All parameters offered by Piwik’s Tracking HTTP API Reference are supported, this also includes custom variables. During Piwik API calls, those are referenced as JSON string, so for better readability, you should use
JSON.stringify({})
instead of manual encoding.piwik.track({
// The full request URL
url: baseUrl + req.url,
// This will be shown as title in your Piwik backend
action_name: 'API call',
// User agent and language settings of the client
ua: req.header('User-Agent'),
lang: req.header('Accept-Language'),
// Custom request variables
cvar: JSON.stringify({
'1': ['API version', 'v1'],
'2': ['HTTP method', req.method]
})
});As you can see, you can pass along arbitrary fields of a Node.js request object like HTTP header fields, status code or request method (GET, POST, PUT, etc.) as well. That should already cover most of your needs.
But so far, all requests have been tracked with the IP/hostname of your Node.js application. If you also want the API user’s IP to show up in your analytics data, you have to override Piwik’s default setting, which requires your secret Piwik token :
function getRemoteAddr(req) {
if (req.ip) return req.ip;
if (req._remoteAddress) return req._remoteAddress;
var sock = req.socket;
if (sock.socket) return sock.socket.remoteAddress;
return sock.remoteAddress;
}
piwik.track({
// …
token_auth: '<YOUR SECRET API TOKEN>',
cip: getRemoteAddr(req)
});As we have now collected all the values that we wanted to track, we’re basically done. But if you’re using Express or restify for your backend, we can still go one step further and put all of this together into a custom middleware, which makes tracking requests even easier.
First we start off with the basic code of our new middleware and save it as
lib/express-piwik-tracker.js
:// ./lib/express-piwik-tracker.js
var PiwikTracker = require('piwik-tracker');
function getRemoteAddr(req) {
if (req.ip) return req.ip;
if (req._remoteAddress) return req._remoteAddress;
var sock = req.socket;
if (sock.socket) return sock.socket.remoteAddress;
return sock.remoteAddress;
}
exports = module.exports = function analytics(options) {
var piwik = new PiwikTracker(options.siteId, options.piwikUrl);
return function track(req, res, next) {
piwik.track({
url: options.baseUrl + req.url,
action_name: 'API call',
ua: req.header('User-Agent'),
lang: req.header('Accept-Language'),
cvar: JSON.stringify({
'1': ['API version', 'v1'],
'2': ['HTTP method', req.method]
}),
token_auth: options.piwikToken,
cip: getRemoteAddr(req)
});
next();
}
}Now to use it in our application, we initialize it in our main
app.js
file :// app.js
var express = require('express'),
piwikTracker = require('./lib/express-piwik-tracker.js'),
app = express();
// This tracks ALL requests to your Express application
app.use(piwikTracker({
siteId : 1,
piwikUrl : 'http://mywebsite.com/piwik.php',
baseUrl : 'http://example.com',
piwikToken: '<YOUR SECRET API TOKEN>'
}));This will now track each request going to every URL of your API. If you want to limit tracking to a certain path, you can also attach it to a single route instead :
var tracker = piwikTracker({
siteId : 1,
piwikUrl : 'http://mywebsite.com/piwik.php',
baseUrl : 'http://example.com',
piwikToken: '<YOUR SECRET API TOKEN>'
});
router.get('/only/track/me', tracker, function(req, res) {
// Your code that handles the route and responds to the request
});And that’s everything you need to track your API users alongside your regular website users.

MOV to ACVHD conversion via Spring Boot and FFmpeg leads to file system error
31 décembre 2024, par epicUsernameI am experiencing an issue on a personal project that seeks to convert HEIC to JPG files and MOV files to AVCHD format. The HEIC to JPG conversion works, but the MOV to AVCHD does not, which is where my problems lie.


The intent is to do this with Spring Boot and FFmpeg, using a simple interface done in WindowBuilder.

A few caveats :


- 

-
I did explore FFmpeg and GStreamer for this project. GStreamer was inconclusive, with available version for it that were too old for use with my current state of STS4.27 and Java 17, even if this version of Java is under long-term support...


-
I've used AI to tell me about the options and suggest ways to build this thing, since multimedia handling is very far away from my skillset. I don't have a good conceptual grasp of video formats and how they transfrom from one to another.








The issue, as I have identified it, occurs at these lines :


// Ensure the destination file is writable
 if (!destinationFile.canWrite()) {
 JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Output file is not writable.", "File Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
 return;
 }



^^ And this, while temporarily commented out for testing, it meant to compensate for an issue that occurs here in the conversion function :


if ((outputFormatContext.oformat().flags() & avformat.AVFMT_NOFILE) == 0) {
 // Ensure the output path has the correct extension
 String outputPath = destinationFile.getAbsolutePath().replace("\\", "/") + ".avchd";
 System.out.println("Normalized output path: " + outputPath);

 // Try opening the output file
 int ret = avformat.avio_open(outputFormatContext.pb(), outputPath, avformat.AVIO_FLAG_WRITE);
 if (ret < 0) {
 BytePointer errorBuffer = new BytePointer(avutil.AV_ERROR_MAX_STRING_SIZE);
 avutil.av_strerror(ret, errorBuffer, errorBuffer.capacity());
 System.out.println("Failed to open output file: " + errorBuffer.getString());
 return;
 }
 }



The idea here is that the avio_open() function requires the use of the a valid file path that it can open to be able to write it.


Padadoxically, the file conversion seems to work, but the project crashes with a fatal error in the console :

If I refer to the error log, I get this. It is partial, as I'm not sure SO will take all of it (quite long), but still might have enough to be relevant :

If anyone has a perspective on this, it'd be appreciated.


The catch 22 in this project is that pre-creating the file is not a good idea, since avio_open has a purpose in-built method for that (I tried). Error checking everything about Java's File class in terms of setting pathways and creating and deleting files is not problematic. Likewise, permissions are all fine (Full Control in source and target folders) ; I've tested default C drive folders, which have restritions, to a separate volume and removable media, to no effect. Likewise, FFmpeg requires a forward slash, "/" in file paths, whereas Java does the backslash, generally. That's been handled with the replace method in the above conditioning, also to no effect.


The basic contradiction in the project seems to be that the error tries open a file that does not exist, with a valid source and destination file, and if I try to create a placeholder file wiht an acvhd extension at the event handling for the Convert button, it still errors out ; meanwhile, FFmpeg allegedly handles the file creation at its core, but requires a valid path to be passed ; I've tried with and without a filename, with and without an extension. I'm not able to resovle it.


The excessive error handling conditions are in an effort to isolate the problem, which I think I've done.


There also seems to be a compatibility between mpegts and acvhd, which is why I also had that format specified in the conversion function, without result.


I also have the idea to be able to do this without having to install any libraries locally or having to set path variables, which is an aspect that both GStreamer and FFmpeg have.


Nearest suggestion I've found is this : integrate ffmpeg with spring boot


AI remains hopeless for resolving this issue.
