Why Django Scope?

• Works with APIs — Unlike Django Debug Toolbar, Django Scope doesn't inject into HTML. It works with REST APIs, GraphQL, SPAs, mobile backends, anything.
• Real-time — WebSocket-powered live feed. Entries appear the instant they happen.
• 17 watchers — Requests, queries, cache, Redis, mail, models, logs, exceptions, events, commands, dumps, HTTP client, views, gates, notifications, schedules, batches.
• N+1 detection — Automatically flags repeated query patterns.
• Auto-detection — Cache and Redis monitoring works out of the box with any backend.
• Minimal overhead — Request-scoped buffering with bulk writes. Re-entrancy guard prevents recording its own operations.

Quick Install
