Query Data via SDKs

Langfuse is open-source and data tracked with Langfuse is open. You can query data via: SDKs and API. For export functionality, see Export Data.

Common use cases:

Train or fine-tune models on the production traces in Langfuse. E.g. to create a small model after having used a large model in production for a specific use case.
Collect few-shot examples to improve quality of output.
Programmatically create datasets.

If you are new to Langfuse, we recommend familiarizing yourself with the Langfuse data model.

New data is typically available for querying within 15-30 seconds of ingestion, though processing times may vary at times. Please visit status.langfuse.com if you encounter any issues.

SDKs

Via the SDKs for Python and JS/TS you can easily query the API without having to write the HTTP requests yourself.

pip install langfuse

from langfuse import get_client
langfuse = get_client() # uses environment variables to authenticate
 
# Fetch list of traces, supports filters and pagination
traces = langfuse.api.trace.list()
 
# Fetch a single trace by ID
trace = langfuse.api.trace.get("traceId")
 
# Fetch list of observations, supports filters and pagination
observations = langfuse.api.observations.get_many()
 
# Fetch a single observation by ID
observation = langfuse.api.observations.get("observationId")
 
# Fetch list of sessions
sessions = langfuse.api.sessions.list()
 
# Explore more entities via Intellisense
langfuse.api.*

The dedicated fetch* methods for core entities are covered by tests and semantic versioning. The methods on the langfuse.api are auto-generated from the API reference and cover all entities.

pip install langfuse

from langfuse import Langfuse
langfuse = Langfuse(
  secret_key="sk-lf-...",
  public_key="pk-lf-...",
  host="https://cloud.langfuse.com"  # 🇪🇺 EU region
  # host="https://us.cloud.langfuse.com" # 🇺🇸 US region
)
 
### Dedicated fetch_* methods for core entities
 
# Fetch list of traces, supports filters and pagination
traces = langfuse.fetch_traces()
 
# Fetch a single trace by ID
trace = langfuse.fetch_trace("traceId")
 
# Fetch list of observations, supports filters and pagination
observations = langfuse.fetch_observations()
 
# Fetch a single observation by ID
observation = langfuse.fetch_observation("observationId")
 
# Fetch list of sessions
sessions = langfuse.fetch_sessions()
 
### Methods on langfuse.api namespace for other entities (generated from the API reference)
 
# Fetch a single score by ID
langfuse.api.score.get("scoreId")
 
# Explore more entities via Intellisense
langfuse.api.*

This notebook includes a number of examples of how to use the Langfuse SDK to query data.

The dedicated fetch* methods for core entities are covered by tests and semantic versioning. The methods on the langfuse.api are auto-generated from the API reference and cover all entities.

npm install langfuse

import { Langfuse } from "langfuse";
const langfuse = new Langfuse({
  secretKey: "sk-lf-...",
  publicKey: "pk-lf-...",
  baseUrl: "https://cloud.langfuse.com", // 🇪🇺 EU region
  // baseUrl: "https://us.cloud.langfuse.com", // 🇺🇸 US region
});
 
 
 
// Dedicated fetch* methods for core entities
 
// Fetch list of traces, supports filters and pagination
const traces = await langfuse.fetchTraces();
 
// Fetch a single trace by ID
const trace = await langfuse.fetchTrace("traceId");
 
// Fetch list of observations, supports filters and pagination
const observations = await langfuse.fetchObservations();
 
// Fetch a single observation by ID
const observation = await langfuse.fetchObservation("observationId");
 
// Fetch list of sessions
const sessions = await langfuse.fetchSessions();
 
 
 
// Methods on langfuse.api namespace for other entities (generated from the API reference)
 
// Fetch list of scores
const scores = await langfuse.api.scoreGet();
 
// Fetch a single score by ID
const score = await langfuse.api.scoreGetById("scoreId");
