Installation

Install the SDK

Install the Python SDK:

pip install aitracer-sdk

For JavaScript and TypeScript environments, use AITracer's ingestion API or direct trace endpoints.

Configure authentication

Set your API credentials:

export AITRACER_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export AITRACER_BASE_URL="https://api.aitracer.app"

For local development:

export AITRACER_BASE_URL="http://localhost:3000"

Do not hardcode API credentials in production applications.

Send your first trace

from aitracer import AITracer
 
client = AITracer(
    api_key="your-api-key"
)
 
trace = client.trace(
    model="gpt-4o",
    input="Summarize this quarterly financial report",
    metadata={
        "workflow": "finance-summary",
        "environment": "production"
    }
)
 
print(trace.id)

This automatically captures:

• model metadata
• token usage
• latency metrics
• cost attribution
• execution metadata
• trace identifiers

Verify the trace

Open the AITracer dashboard and confirm your trace was successfully recorded.

Review:

• trace ID
• request metadata
• model usage
• latency metrics
• cost details
• verification metadata

Enable governance controls

Optional governance checks can be enabled before execution records are stored.

Available controls include:

• PII detection
• credential exposure detection
• payment data detection
• policy validation
• risk scoring

Expand usage

After validating your first trace, AITracer can be deployed across:

• multi-agent workflows
• internal copilots
• customer-facing applications
• automation pipelines
• enterprise AI systems
