If the AJAX framework sets the X-Requested-With header in its requests, then you will be able to use that header to detect AJAX calls. It’s up to the client-side framework to do this.
Getting hold of the HTTP headers depends on your Python framework of choice. In Django, the
requestobject has anis_ajaxmethod you can use directly.
