How to save data from webpage visit? - Red-Leonard - Oct 23, 2019
I have a tool on my webpage that displays the users ip address when they visit (this displays as json on the page)
but, how to save that data so that I can view it later?
the website is hosted on flask/python
so I guess i need a basic script/task that will save the data on file somewhere - how? thanks

You're talking about access logging and analytical statistics, I suppose. Google Analytics is good at analytical statistics and you might want to look into your server logs and how you can use those to track activity:

You can later analyse those access logs and write a tool to display them visually on your administrative panel.

I can get the ip address already, with a python snippet inserted into the page code
when I access my own page, I can see my ip address, but I want to see other peoples' visits - ie. save the ip address that shows on the screen
can this be done with a simple 'always on task' or some kind of scraping?
Google analytics doesn't show the ip addresses

I really don't understand what you mean by that. I already told you about access logs and how you can essentially write their IP addresses in those logs? Am I missing something here? You do know what an access log is, right?
Code
app.logger.info('%s logged in successfully', user.ip) # This is an exampleRE: How to save data from webpage visit? - Red-Leonard - Oct 23, 2019
I've looked at access logs, and no ip details in there
my bad, you are right
I've found the access logs!
I was mistakenly looking in the 'server logs'
thanks all the same!
