BugSnag, Django and the before_notify callback

Question

BugSnag's documentation suggests this for custom fields:

def callback(notification):

    # if you return False, the notification will not be sent to
    # Bugsnag. (see ignore_classes for simple cases)
    if isinstance(notification.exception, KeyboardInterrupt):
        return False

    # You can set properties of the notification and
    # add your own custom meta-data.
    notification.user = {"id": current_user.id,
      "name": current_user.name,
      "email": current_user.email}
    notification.add_tab("account", {"paying": current_user.acccount.is_paying()})

# Call `callback` before every notification
bugsnag.before_notify(callback)

my application is JWT token based internl-api application server. Meaning, I don't have a current_user or any users "logged in" for that matter. Is there any way to get to the user of the current request? in views it's available as request.user after the JWT middleware parses out the token but how do I apply it here into this callback? I don't have access to the request object? notification.request doesn't exist.

do you know where `current_user` is coming from? I don't see it being defined anywhere — Jahongir Rahmonov, Jun 01 '17 at 04:52
Me neither. But that's besides the point. My question is how do I get, in that callback, the last user that authenticated via JWT tokens — JasonGenX, Jun 01 '17 at 04:53
That's what I am trying to help you with. If you know where `current_user` is being defined, you can override it, correct? To get `current_user`, they used the `request` object, most probably. — Jahongir Rahmonov, Jun 01 '17 at 04:55
Probably but how do I gain access to the last request made from within this callback? — JasonGenX, Jun 01 '17 at 04:56
From the [source code](https://github.com/bugsnag/bugsnag-python/blob/master/bugsnag/django/__init__.py#L14) I see that you can get access to request like this: `request = notification.request_config.django_request` — Jahongir Rahmonov, Jun 01 '17 at 05:01

So, if my POST was a flat list of keys and values, this is how I got the email value.

d = dict(notification.request_config.django_request.POST)
print(d['email'][0])
