How to Test Ad Injection Locally in Django
This guide shows how to test ad injection locally in a Django app, the goal being to run injection against a local/non-SSL server during development. It builds on the Monetzly gRPC service (no Python SDK exists for this stack), so the approach is specific to how Django produces and streams responses.
Overview
You can develop ad injection for a Django app locally before going to production. Point the SDK at a local ad-server address and turn SSL off; everything else — the injection call, session context, fallback — behaves the same as production.
This lets you verify that your Django stream flows through injection and reaches the client correctly without needing production credentials wired up.
Django apps are usually built for production LLM SaaS backends, chat APIs, and user/account management for AI apps, so test ad injection locally typically comes up while a user is mid-conversation, the moment where monetization has to be additive rather than disruptive.
How this works on Django
Django is Python. Drive the shipped tps_alter.proto gRPC service (or a Node sidecar) and return injected tokens via a StreamingHttpResponse (or Django Channels for WebSocket). Confirm the non-JS auth handshake before publishing.
Since Django is a Python stack with no official SDK, this task runs through the shipped tps_alter.proto gRPC service (or a Node sidecar); the auth handshake for a direct client is still TODO_VERIFY.
Steps
- Set the server address to your local host (e.g. localhost:8080) and disable SSL.
- Run your Django app and send a test prompt through the injection path.
- Confirm tokens stream to the client, then switch to your production host and SSL for release.
Integration snippet
# No Python SDK. Generate stubs from tps_alter.proto and drive ProcessStream
# (see the FastAPI page for the full bidi loop), then in a view:
#
# from django.http import StreamingHttpResponse
# return StreamingHttpResponse(inject(llm_tokens, prompt, session_id, api_key),
# content_type="text/event-stream")
#
# TODO_VERIFY: auth handshake (API key placement) for a direct gRPC client.Frequently asked questions
