[google-appengine] Re: Determine IP or Country of request..?
Hi, There are two cases in here 1. The Google Analytics way 2. The anonymous way In the GA way, you will providing the iframe source code to registered users. In the anonymous way, you will be providing the iframe source to an anonymous person. In the GA way, you can add a small javascript variable that is unique to the registered user, script is provided to. This is a method to track the person(s) who will be adding that iFrame to their site. Since, they are already registered, you have their location and other details. In the anonymous way, you can do the following - use the javascript to find out the hosting site. Say for ex: your code is pasted on http://codecontrol.blogspot.com so you can get this information. Later you can find out the geographical location of this particular site using third party services available Have a look at WebOb. http://pythonpaste.org/webob/reference.html#request-body It is what the webapp is build. So it can be used directly. -- Cheers, Pranav Prakash "This life is more than ordinary" On May 14, 10:51 pm, "astrid.thuec...@googlemail.com" wrote: > Hi, > > We offer HTML content generated with a appengine.

[google-appengine] Re: Determine IP or Country of request..?
Thanks Andy. so I can find out this info about 1.) info about the visitor of websiteXYZ which embeds our iframe AND 2.) info about websiteXYZ who embeds our iframe the visitor is watching ??? Sorry, I am a total beginner. Can you explain in a little more detail how this is possible...also I am still doubting that 2.) works since all we have is an iframe in their website. I thought it isn't allowed to get info - Javascript or otherwise - from the iframe about the website that embeds it - or am I wrong?

You can use all the javascript you'd like to target window.parent and harvest the typical analytical info that's available client-side, and to generate requests against a server-side resource. As far as geolocating, there are services available that offer approximation, but not guarantees.
