## Understanding MCP Transports

### STDIO Transport

**Best for:** Local development, single client

```plaintext theme={"system"}
Client spawns server as subprocess → stdin/stdout communication
```

**Pros:** Zero network overhead, simple setup\
**Cons:** Same machine only, no multi-client support

### Streamable HTTP (Recommended)

**Best for:** Production, cloud hosting, multiple clients

```plaintext theme={"system"}
Server runs independently → Clients connect via HTTP
```

**Pros:** Single endpoint, bidirectional, optional sessions\
**Cons:** Requires web server configuration

<Tip>
  Streamable HTTP is the current standard (protocol version 2025-03-26). Use this for all new projects!
</Tip>

### SSE Transport (Legacy)

**Status:** Superseded by Streamable HTTP

<Warning>
  SSE is no longer the standard. Only use for backward compatibility with older clients.
</Warning>

***

## Prerequisites

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Python theme={"system"}
  # Check Python version (need 3.10+)
  python --version

  # Install dependencies
  pip install mcp fastapi uvicorn

  # Optional: FastMCP for rapid development
  pip install fastmcp
  ```

  ```bash TypeScript theme={"system"}
  # Check Node version (need 18+)
  node --version

  # Install dependencies
  npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk express
  npm install --save-dev @types/express
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## 1️⃣ Your Original STDIO Server

Let's start with a typical STDIO server that runs locally:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  # stdio_server.py
  import asyncio
  from mcp.server import Server
  from mcp.server.stdio import stdio_server
  from mcp.types import Tool, TextContent

  server = Server("weather-server", version="1.0.0")

  @server.list_tools()
  async def list_tools() -> list[Tool]:
      return [
          Tool(
              name="get_weather",
              description="Get weather for a location",
              inputSchema={
                  "type": "object",
                  "properties": {
                      "location": {"type": "string"}
                  },
                  "required": ["location"]
              }
          )
      ]

  @server.call_tool()
  async def call_tool(name: str, arguments: dict) -> list[TextContent]:
      if name == "get_weather":
          location = arguments.get("location", "Unknown")
          return [TextContent(
              type="text", 
              text=f"Weather in {location}: Sunny, 72°F"
          )]
      raise ValueError(f"Unknown tool: {name}")

  async def main():
      # STDIO transport - runs as subprocess
      async with stdio_server() as (read_stream, write_stream):
          await server.run(
              read_stream,
              write_stream,
              server.create_initialization_options()
          )

  if __name__ == "__main__":
      asyncio.run(main())
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={"system"}
  // stdio_server.ts
  import { Server } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js";
  import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
  import {
    CallToolRequestSchema,
    ListToolsRequestSchema,
  } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js";

  const server = new Server(
    { name: "weather-server", version: "1.0.0" },
    { capabilities: { tools: {} } }
  );

  server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({
    tools: [
      {
        name: "get_weather",
        description: "Get weather for a location",
        inputSchema: {
          type: "object",
          properties: {
            location: { type: "string" },
          },
          required: ["location"],
        },
      },
    ],
  }));

  server.setRequestHandler(CallToolRequestSchema, async (request) => {
    if (request.params.name === "get_weather") {
      const location = request.params.arguments?.location || "Unknown";
      return {
        content: [
          { type: "text", text: `Weather in ${location}: Sunny, 72°F` },
        ],
      };
    }
    throw new Error(`Unknown tool: ${request.params.name}`);
  });

  async function main() {
    const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
    await server.connect(transport);
  }

  main();
  ```

  if __name__ == "__main__":
      import uvicorn
      uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)
  ```

<Info>
  **FastMCP vs FastAPI:** FastMCP provides a simpler API for quick setups. Use FastAPI when integrating MCP into existing FastAPI applications or when you need more control over the web server configuration.
</Info>

## 3️⃣ Add auth

Most STDIO servers use environment variables for authentication. Convert these to HTTP-based auth patterns for remote servers.

### Example: OAuth Credentials Pattern

**STDIO Version** (environment variables):

```json Claude Desktop Config theme={"system"}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-calendar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@cocal/google-calendar-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS": "/path/to/gcp-oauth.keys.json"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Remote Version** (request headers):

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  from fastapi import Header, HTTPException, Depends
  import base64
  import json

  def get_credentials(authorization: str = Header(None)) -> dict:
      """Extract credentials from Authorization header."""
      if not authorization or not authorization.startswith("Bearer "):
          raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="Invalid auth")
      
      token = authorization.replace("Bearer ", "")
      try:
          return json.loads(base64.b64decode(token))
      except Exception:
          raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="Invalid token")

  @app.post("/mcp")
  async def handle_mcp(
      request: Request,
      credentials: dict = Depends(get_credentials)
  ):
      # Use credentials from request
      pass
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={"system"}
  function extractCredentials(authHeader: string | undefined): any {
    if (!authHeader || !authHeader.startsWith("Bearer ")) {
      throw new Error("Invalid authorization");
    }
    
    const token = authHeader.replace("Bearer ", "");
    try {
      return JSON.parse(
        Buffer.from(token, "base64").toString("utf-8")
      );
    } catch (error) {
      throw new Error("Invalid token");
    }
  }

  const authenticateMiddleware = (req: any, res: any, next: any) => {
    try {
      req.credentials = extractCredentials(req.headers.authorization);
      next();
    } catch (error) {
      res.status(401).json({ error: error.message });
    }
  };

  app.use("/mcp", authenticateMiddleware);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Simpler Pattern: API Keys

For basic authentication, use API keys:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  from fastapi import Header, HTTPException, Depends
  import os

  async def verify_api_key(authorization: str = Header(None)):
      """Verify API key from header."""
      if not authorization:
          raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="Missing API key")
      
      api_key = authorization.replace("Bearer ", "")
      if api_key != os.getenv("API_KEY"):
          raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="Invalid API key")
      
      return api_key

  @app.post("/mcp")
  async def handle_mcp(
      request: Request,
      api_key: str = Depends(verify_api_key)
  ):
      # Request is authenticated
      pass
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={"system"}
  const authenticateApiKey = (req: any, res: any, next: any) => {
    const authHeader = req.headers["authorization"];
    if (!authHeader) {
      return res.status(401).json({ error: "Missing API key" });
    }
    
    const apiKey = authHeader.replace("Bearer ", "");
    if (apiKey !== process.env.API_KEY) {
      return res.status(401).json({ error: "Invalid API key" });
    }
    
    next();
  };

  app.use("/mcp", authenticateApiKey);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## 4️⃣ Run Your MCP Server

Start your converted server:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash FastMCP theme={"system"}
  python http_server.py
  # Server runs at http://localhost:8000/mcp
  ```

  ```bash FastAPI theme={"system"}
  python http_server_fastapi.py
  # Server runs at http://localhost:8000/weather/mcp
  ```

  ```bash TypeScript theme={"system"}
  ts-node http_server.ts
  # Server runs at http://localhost:8000/mcp
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Optional: Session Management

<Note>
  Session management is optional in the MCP spec. FastMCP handles it automatically if you need stateful interactions.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```python FastMCP theme={"system"}
  # FastMCP handles sessions automatically

  # Stateful mode (maintains session state)
  mcp = FastMCP("weather-server", stateless_http=False)

  # Stateless mode (no session state)
  mcp = FastMCP("weather-server", stateless_http=True)
  ```

  ```python FastAPI theme={"system"}
  # Manual session management with FastAPI
  from fastmcp import FastMCP

  mcp = FastMCP("weather-server", stateless_http=True)

  @contextlib.asynccontextmanager
  async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
      async with mcp.session_manager.run():
          yield

  app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={"system"}
  import { randomUUID } from "crypto";

  const transports = new Map<string, StreamableHTTPServerTransport>();

  async function getOrCreateTransport(
    sessionId: string | undefined,
    isInitialize: boolean
  ): Promise<StreamableHTTPServerTransport> {
    
    if (sessionId && transports.has(sessionId)) {
      return transports.get(sessionId)!;
    }
    
    if (!sessionId && isInitialize) {
      const transport = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport({
        sessionIdGenerator: () => randomUUID(),
      });
      
      transport.onSessionInitialized = (newSessionId) => {
        transports.set(newSessionId, transport);
      };
      
      await server.connect(transport);
      return transport;
    }
    
    throw new Error("Invalid session");
  }

  app.post("/mcp", async (req, res) => {
    const sessionId = req.headers["mcp-session-id"] as string | undefined;
    const isInitialize = req.body?.method === "initialize";
    
    try {
      const transport = await getOrCreateTransport(sessionId, isInitialize);
      await transport.handleRequest(req, res);
    } catch (error) {
      res.status(400).json({ error: error.message });
    }
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

***

## Optional: CORS Configuration

<Warning>
  Only add CORS if you need to support browser-based clients. For server-to-server communication, CORS isn't necessary.
</Warning>

<CodeGroup>
  ```python FastMCP theme={"system"}
  # CORS with FastMCP
  mcp.run(
      transport="http",
      host="0.0.0.0",
      port=8000,
      cors_allow_origins=["https://yourdomain.com"]
  )
  ```

  ```python FastAPI theme={"system"}
  from fastapi.middleware.cors import CORSMiddleware

  app.add_middleware(
      CORSMiddleware,
      allow_origins=["https://yourdomain.com"],
      allow_credentials=True,
      allow_methods=["*"],
      allow_headers=["*"],
      expose_headers=["Mcp-Session-Id"],
  )
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={"system"}
  import cors from "cors";

  app.use(cors({
    origin: ["https://yourdomain.com"],
    credentials: true,
    exposedHeaders: ["Mcp-Session-Id"],
  }));
  ```

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can't connect to server" icon="link-slash">
    **Check:**

    * Server is running on the correct port
    * Firewall allows connections
    * URL is correct (including `/mcp` path)

    **Test with curl:**

    ```bash theme={"system"}
    curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/mcp \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{}}'
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Tools not showing up" icon="screwdriver-wrench">
    **Solution:** Ensure tool handlers are registered before the server starts

    ```python Correct Order theme={"system"}
    # Register handlers FIRST
    @mcp.tool()
    def my_tool():
        pass

    # THEN run server
    mcp.run(transport="http")
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Session errors" icon="circle-xmark">
    **Solution:** Client must store and send session ID correctly

    ```python Session Handling theme={"system"}
    # Extract from initialization response
    session_id = response.headers.get("Mcp-Session-Id")

    # Include in all subsequent requests
    headers = {"Mcp-Session-Id": session_id}
    ```

# Bring Your Own Guardrails
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/guardrails/bring-your-own-guardrails

Integrate your custom guardrails with Portkey using webhooks

Portkey's webhook guardrails allow you to integrate your existing guardrail infrastructure with our AI Gateway. This is perfect for teams that have already built custom guardrail pipelines (like PII redaction, sensitive content filtering, or data validation) and want to:

* Enforce guardrails directly within the AI request flow
* Make existing guardrail systems production-ready
* Modify AI requests and responses in real-time

## How It Works

1. You add a Webhook as a Guardrail Check in Portkey
2. When a request passes through Portkey's Gateway:
   * Portkey sends relevant data to your webhook endpoint
   * Your webhook evaluates the request/response and returns a verdict
   * Based on your webhook's response, Portkey either allows the request to proceed, modifies it if required, or applies your configured guardrail actions

## Setting Up a Webhook Guardrail

### Configure Your Webhook in Portkey App

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

In the Guardrail configuration UI, you'll need to provide:

| Field           | Description                              | Type          |
| :-------------- | :--------------------------------------- | :------------ |
| **Webhook URL** | Your webhook's endpoint URL              | `string`      |
| **Headers**     | Headers to include with webhook requests | `JSON`        |
| **Timeout**     | Maximum wait time for webhook response   | `number` (ms) |

#### Webhook URL

This should be a publicly accessible URL where your webhook is hosted.

<Note>
  **Enterprise Feature**: Portkey Enterprise customers can configure secure access to webhooks within private networks.
</Note>

#### Headers

Specify headers as a JSON object:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
  "Content-Type": "application/json"
}
```

#### Timeout

The maximum time Portkey will wait for your webhook to respond before proceeding with a default `verdict: true`.

* Default: `3000ms` (3 seconds)
* If your webhook processing is time-intensive, consider increasing this value

### Webhook Request Structure

Your webhook should accept `POST` requests with the following structure:

#### Request Headers

| Header         | Description                                  |
| :------------- | :------------------------------------------- |
| `Content-Type` | Always set to `application/json`             |
| Custom Headers | Any headers you configured in the Portkey UI |

#### Request Body

Portkey sends comprehensive information about the AI request to your webhook:

<Expandable title="Webhook Request Structure">
  <ParamField type="object">
    Information about the user's request to the LLM

    <Expandable title="Properties">
      <ParamField type="object">OpenAI compliant request body json.</ParamField>

  <ParamField type="string">When the hook is triggered: `beforeRequestHook` or `afterRequestHook`</ParamField>
</Expandable>

#### Event Types

Your webhook can be triggered at two points:

* **beforeRequestHook**: Before the request is sent to the LLM provider
* **afterRequestHook**: After receiving a response from the LLM provider

### Webhook Response Structure

Your webhook must return a response that follows this structure:

#### Response Body

<Expandable title="Webhook Response Schema">
  <ResponseField name="verdict" type="boolean">
    Whether the request/response passes your guardrail check:

    * `true`: No violations detected
    * `false`: Violations detected
  </ResponseField>

  <ResponseField name="transformedData" type="object">
    Optional field to modify the request or response

    <Expandable title="Properties">
      <ResponseField name="request" type="object">
        Modified request data (only for beforeRequestHook)
        If this field is found in the Webhook response, Portkey will fully override the existing request body with the returned data.
      </ResponseField>

      <ResponseField name="response" type="object">
        Modified response data (only for afterRequestHook)
        If this field is found in the Webhook response, Portkey will fully override the existing response body with the returned data.
      </ResponseField>
    </Expandable>
  </ResponseField>
</Expandable>

## Webhook Capabilities

Your webhook can perform three main actions:

### Simple Validation

Return a verdict without modifying the request/response:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "verdict": true  // or false if the request violates your guardrails
}
```

### Request Transformation

Modify the user's request before it reaches the LLM provider:

  <Tab title="Example: Adding Content Policy">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "verdict": true,
      "transformedData": {

          "json": {
            "messages": [
              {
                "role": "system",
                "content": "You are a helpful assistant. Do not provide harmful content."
              },
              {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "Original user message"

        }
      }
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Passing Metadata to Your Webhook

You can include additional context with each request using Portkey's metadata feature:

```json theme={"system"}
// In your API request to Portkey
"x-portkey-metadata": {"user": "john", "context": "customer_support"}
```

This metadata will be forwarded to your webhook in the `metadata` field. [Learn more about metadata](/product/observability/metadata).

## Important Implementation Notes

1. **Complete Transformations**: When using `transformedData`, include all fields in your transformed object, not just the changed portions.

2. **Independent Verdict and Transformation**: The `verdict` and any transformations are independent. You can return `verdict: false` while still returning transformations.

3. **Default Behavior**: If your webhook fails to respond within the timeout period, Portkey will default to `verdict: true`.

4. **Event Type Awareness**: When implementing transformations, ensure your webhook checks the `eventType` field to determine whether it's being called before or after the LLM request.

# Make Your First Request
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/introduction/make-your-first-request

Integrate Portkey and analyze your first LLM call in 2 minutes!

## 1. Get your Portkey API Key

[Create](https://app.portkey.ai/signup) or [log in](https://app.portkey.ai/login) to your Portkey account. Grab your account's API key from the "Settings" page.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Copy your Portkey account API key" />
</Frame>

Based on your access level, you might see the relevant permissions on the API key modal - tick the ones you'd like, name your API key, and save it.

## 2. Integrate Portkey

Portkey offers a variety of integration options, including SDKs, REST APIs, and native connections with platforms like OpenAI, Langchain, and LlamaIndex, among others.

### Through the OpenAI SDK

If you're using the **OpenAI SDK**, import the Portkey SDK and configure it within your OpenAI client object:

<Card title="OpenAI" href="/integrations/llms/openai" />

### Portkey SDK

You can also use the **Portkey SDK / REST APIs** directly to make the chat completion calls. This is a more versatile way to make LLM calls across any provider:

<Card title="SDK" href="/api-reference/sdk" />

Once, the integration is ready, you can view the requests reflect on your Portkey dashboard.

# Configure Request Logging
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/administration/configuring-request-logging

Control what data is stored for all LLM requests in your organization

<Check>
  This is a Portkey [**Enterprise**](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering) plan feature.
</Check>

## Overview

Portkey allows organization owners to control what data is logged for all LLM requests across their organization. This feature provides flexibility between complete observability and privacy compliance, enabling organizations to choose the appropriate logging level based on their security and compliance requirements.

## How It Works

Organization owners can configure two aspects of request logging:

1. **Logging Mode**: Choose between Full Logging or Metrics Only mode
2. **Workspace Override**: Allow or restrict workspace managers from changing the organization-level logging settings

These settings apply to all requests made within the organization, ensuring consistent data handling practices across all teams and projects.

## Configuration

### Setting Up Request Logging

1. Navigate to `Admin Settings` in the Portkey dashboard
2. Go to the `Organization Properties` section
3. Find the `Request Logging` settings
4. Configure your logging preferences
5. Save your changes

<Frame>
  <img alt="Request Logging Settings in Admin Panel" />
</Frame>

### Logging Modes

#### Full Logging

When enabled, Portkey stores:

* Complete request payloads
* Full response content
* All associated metrics and metadata

This mode provides comprehensive observability for debugging, monitoring, and optimization purposes.

#### Metrics Only (Privacy Mode)

When enabled, Portkey only tracks:

* Usage statistics (tokens, latency, costs)
* Request metadata
* Error information (without sensitive content)

This mode ensures privacy compliance by not storing any request or response content, while still maintaining essential operational metrics.

### Workspace-Level Control

The **"Allow respective workspace managers to toggle Request Logging"** option determines whether workspace managers can override the organization-level settings:

* **When enabled**: Workspace managers can change logging settings for their specific workspace
* **When disabled**: All workspaces inherit and must use the organization-level logging settings

<Note>
  When workspace-level control is disabled, any existing workspace-specific logging settings will be overridden by the organization settings.
</Note>

## Workspace Configuration

If workspace-level control is enabled, workspace managers can configure logging for their workspace:

1. Navigate to the workspace settings
2. Click on your workspace and select the **Edit (🖊️) option**
3. In the **Edit Workspace** menu, head over to Workspace Properties
4. Configure the **Request Logging** setting
5. Save your changes

<Warning>
  Changing from Full Logging to Metrics Only will not retroactively remove previously logged data. Contact support if you need to purge historical logs.
</Warning>

## Precedence Order

When different logging settings exist at multiple levels:

1. **Workspace settings** (highest priority) - if workspace-level control is enabled
2. **Organization settings** (applies when workspace control is disabled)

## Support

For questions about configuring request logging or assistance with compliance requirements, contact [Portkey support](mailto:support@portkey.ai) or reach out on [Discord](https://portkey.sh/reddit-discord).


# Enforce Budget Limits and Rate Limits for Your API Keys
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/administration/enforce-budget-and-rate-limit

Configure budget and rate limits on API keys to effectively manage AI spending and usage across your organization

<Info>
  Available on **Enterprise** plan and select **Pro** customers.
</Info>

<Tip>
  Looking to set limits for an entire workspace instead of individual API keys? See [Enforce Workspace Budget and Rate Limits](/product/administration/enforce-workspace-budget-limts-and-rate-limits).
</Tip>

## Overview

For enterprises deploying AI at scale, maintaining financial oversight and operational control is crucial. Portkey's governance features for API keys provide finance teams, IT departments, and executives with the transparency and guardrails needed to confidently scale AI adoption across the organization.

By implementing budget and rate limits on API keys at both organization and workspace levels, you can:

* Prevent unexpected cost overruns through automated spending caps
* Maintain performance and availability through usage rate controls
* Receive timely notifications when thresholds are approached
* Enforce consistent governance policies across teams and departments

These capabilities ensure your organization can innovate with AI while maintaining predictable costs and usage patterns.

## Budget Limits

Budget limits allow you to set maximum LLM spending or token usage thresholds on your API keys, automatically preventing further usage when limits are reached.

When creating or editing an API key, you can establish spending parameters that align with your financial planning:

### Setting Up Budget Limits

When creating a new API key or editing an existing one:

1. Toggle on **Add Budget Limit**
2. Choose between two limit types:
   * **Cost**: Set a maximum spend in USD (minimum \$1)
   * **Tokens**: Set a maximum token usage

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Alert Thresholds

You can configure alert thresholds to receive notifications before reaching your full budget:

1. Enter a value in the **Alert Threshold** field
2. When usage reaches this threshold, notifications will be sent to configured recipients
3. The API key continues to function until the full budget limit is reached

### Periodic Reset Options

Budget limits can be set to automatically reset at regular intervals:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

* **No Periodic Reset**: The budget limit applies until exhausted
* **Reset Weekly**: Budget limits reset every Sunday at 12 AM UTC
* **Reset Monthly**: Budget limits reset on the 1st of each month at 12 AM UTC

## Rate Limits

Rate limits control how frequently an API key can be used, helping you maintain application performance and prevent unexpected usage spikes.

### Setting Up Rate Limits

When creating a new API key or editing an existing one:

1. Toggle on **Add Rate Limit**
2. Choose your limit type:
   * **Requests**: Limit based on number of API calls
   * **Tokens**: Limit based on token consumption
3. Specify the limit value and time interval

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Time Intervals

Rate limits can be applied using three different time intervals:

* **Per Minute**: For granular control of high-frequency applications
* **Per Hour**: For balanced control of moderate usage
* **Per Day**: For broader usage management

When a rate limit is reached, subsequent requests are rejected until the time interval resets.

## Email Notifications

Email notifications keep relevant stakeholders informed about API key usage and when limits are approached or reached.

### Configuring Notifications

To set up email notifications for an API key with budget limits:

1. Toggle on **Email Notifications** when creating/editing an API key
2. Add recipient email addresses:
   * Type an email address and click **New** or press Enter
   * Add multiple recipients as needed

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Default Recipients

When limits are reached or thresholds are crossed, Portkey automatically sends notifications to:

* Organization administrators
* Organization owners
* The API key creator/owner

You can add additional recipients such as finance team members, department heads, or project managers who need visibility into AI usage.

## Availability

These features are available to Portkey Enterprise customers and select Pro users. To enable these features for your account, please contact [support@portkey.ai](mailto:support@portkey.ai) or join the [Portkey Discord](https://portkey.ai/community) community.

To learn more about the Portkey Enterprise plan, [schedule a consultation](https://portkey.sh/demo-16).

# Enforcing Default Configs on API Keys
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/administration/enforce-default-config

Learn how to attach default configs to API keys for enforcing governance controls across your organization

## Overview

Portkey allows you to attach default configs to API keys, enabling you to enforce specific routing rules, security controls, and other governance measures across all API calls made with those keys. This feature provides a powerful way to implement organization-wide policies without requiring changes to individual application code.

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey plans.
</Info>

## How It Works

When you attach a default config to an API key:

1. All API calls made using that key will automatically apply the config settings
2. Users don't need to specify config IDs in their code
3. Administrators can update governance controls by simply updating the config, without requiring code changes

This creates a clean separation between application development and governance controls.

<Card title="Learn more about Configs" href="/product/ai-gateway/configs">
  Create and manage configs to define routing rules, fallbacks, caching, and more
</Card>

## Benefits of Default Configs

Attaching default configs to API keys provides several governance benefits:

* **Centralized Control**: Update policies for multiple applications by changing a single config
* **Access Management**: Control which models and providers users can access
* **Cost Control**: Implement budget limits and control spending across teams
* **Reliability**: Enforce fallbacks, retries, and timeout settings organization-wide
* **Security**: Apply guardrails and content moderation across all applications
* **Consistent Settings**: Ensure all applications use the same routing logic

## Setting Up Default Configs

### Prerequisites

Before attaching a config to an API key, you need to:

1. Create a [config](/product/ai-gateway/configs) on Portkey app with your desired settings
2. Note the config ID that want to attach to your API keys

### Attaching Configs via the UI

Navigate to **API Keys** in the sidebar, then:

* **New Keys**: Click **Create** and select your desired config from the **Config** dropdown
* **Existing Keys**: Click the edit icon on any key and update the config selection
* **Config Override**: Enable or Disable config override flag.
  * **ON** (default): Users can specify their own configs in requests, which will override the default config attached to the API key
  * **OFF**: Any attempt to override the default config in a request will result in a 400 error, enforcing the use of only the pre-approved config

<Frame>
  <img alt="Admin API Key Config Selection" />
</Frame>

<Note>
  You can attach only one config to an API key. This applies to both workspace API keys and admin API keys.
</Note>

### Attaching Config via the API

You can also programmatically attach config when creating or updating API keys using the Portkey API.

#### Updating an Existing API Key

For detailed information on API key management, refer to our API documentation:

<Card title="Create API Key" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key">
  Learn how to create API keys with default configs
</Card>

<Card title="Update API Key" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/update-api-key">
  Learn how to update existing API keys with new default configs
</Card>

## Config Precedence

When using API keys with default configs, Portkey provides flexible options for controlling config behavior:

* The default config attached to the API key will be automatically applied to all requests made with that key
* By default, if a user explicitly specifies a config ID in their request, that config will override the default config attached to the API key
* You can now disable config overrides by toggling off "Allow Config Override" when creating or editing API keys

This flexibility allows for centralized governance while still enabling exceptions when needed.

## Use Cases

### Enterprise AI Governance

For large organizations with multiple AI applications, attaching default configs to API keys enables centralized governance:

1. Create department-specific API keys with appropriate configs
2. Apply budget limits and define model usage per department
3. Track usage and spending per team by filtering logs by config\_id
4. Update policies centrally without requiring code changes

### Security and Compliance

Ensure all API interactions follow security protocols by enforcing:

* Specific models that have been approved for use
* Content moderation with input/output guardrails
* PII detection and redaction

### Cost Management

Control AI spending by:

* Routing to cost-effective models by default
* Implementing caching for frequently used prompts
* Applying rate limits to prevent unexpected usage spikes

# Enforcing Org Level Guardrails
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/administration/enforce-orgnization-level-guardrails



## Overview

Portkey enables organization owners to enforce request guardrails at the organization level. This feature ensures that all API requests made within the organization comply with predefined policies, enhancing security, compliance, and governance.

## How It Works

Organization owners can define input and output guardrails in the Organization Guardrails section. These guardrails are enforced on all API requests made within the organization, ensuring uniform policy enforcement across all users and applications.

* **Input Guardrails**: Define checks and constraints for incoming LLM requests.
* **Output Guardrails**: Ensure LLM responses align with organizational policies.

The guardrails available here are the same as those found in the Guardrails section of the Portkey platform. Multiple providers are supported for setting up guardrails. For a detailed list of supported providers and configurations

<Card title="Guardrials Docs" href="/product/guardrails">
  Learn about the different Guardrails you can set up in Portkey
</Card>

## Configuration

### Setting Up Guardrails Requirements

1. Head to `Admin Settings` on the Portkey dashboard
2. Navigate to the `Organisation Guardrails` section
3. Add your `Input` and/or `Output` Guardrails
4. Save your changes

Once configured, these guardrails will be enforced on all API requests across the organization.

<Note>
  Best Practices

  * Clearly communicate guardrail requirements to all developers in your organization.
  * Maintain internal documentation on your guardrail policies to ensure consistency.

# Enforce Workspace Budget and Rate Limits
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/administration/enforce-workspace-budget-limts-and-rate-limits

Configure budget and rate limits at the workspace level to effectively manage AI spending and resource allocation

<Info>
  Available on **Enterprise** plan and select **Pro** customers.
</Info>

## Overview

Workspace Budget Limits provide granular financial and usage control at the workspace level, allowing organization admins/owners and workspace admins to allocate resources effectively across teams and projects. This feature complements API key-level budget controls, creating a comprehensive governance framework for AI spending across your organization.

By implementing budget and rate limits at the workspace level, you can:

* Allocate specific budgets to different departments, teams, or projects
* Prevent individual workspaces from consuming disproportionate resources
* Establish rate limits to ensure equitable API access across workspaces
* Maintain greater visibility and control over organization-wide AI expenditure

## Accessing Workspace Budget Controls

To configure budget limits for a workspace:

1. In the app sidebar, click **Workspace Control** for the workspace you want to manage
2. Select the **Budget Allocation** tab
3. Add your workspace rate limits and budgets, then click **Update**

### Who can manage workspace budgets

<Note>
  The following roles can configure workspace budgets and rate limits:

  * Organization owners and organization admins
  * Workspace admins
  * Workspace managers (if the org admin has enabled "Workspace Management Permissions" in Admin Settings)
</Note>

<Frame title="Workspace Management Permissions">
  <img />
</Frame>

## Setting Rate Limits

Rate limits control how frequently requests can be made from a workspace, helping you maintain application performance and prevent unexpected usage spikes.

To set up rate limits for a workspace:

1. Toggle on **Add Rate Limit**
2. Choose your limit type:
   * **Requests**: Limit based on number of API calls
   * **Tokens**: Limit based on token consumption
3. Specify the limit value in the **Set Rate Limit** field
4. Select a time interval from the dropdown (Requests/Minute, Requests/Hour, Requests/Day)

When a workspace reaches its rate limit, all subsequent requests from that workspace will be rejected until the time interval resets, regardless of which API key is used.

## Setting Budget Limits

Budget limits allow you to set maximum spending or token usage thresholds for an entire workspace, automatically preventing further usage when limits are reached.

To set up budget limits for a workspace:

1. Toggle on **Add Budget**
2. Choose your limit type:
   * **Cost**: Set a maximum spend in USD
   * **Tokens**: Set a maximum token usage
3. Enter the budget amount in the **Budget Limit (\$)** field
4. Optionally, set an **Alert Threshold (\$)** to receive notifications before reaching the full budget
5. Select a **Periodic Reset** option to determine when the budget refreshes

### Alert Thresholds

Alert thresholds trigger notifications when a percentage of the workspace budget has been consumed:

1. Enter a value in the **Alert Threshold (\$)** field
2. When usage reaches this threshold, notifications will be sent to configured recipients
3. The workspace continues to function until the full budget limit is reached

### Periodic Reset Options

Workspace budgets can be set to automatically reset at regular intervals:

* **No Periodic Reset**: The budget limit applies until exhausted
* **Reset Weekly**: Budget limits reset every Sunday at 12 AM UTC
* **Reset Monthly**: Budget limits reset on the 1st of each month at 12 AM UTC

> The configuration options for workspace budgets and rate limits are the same as other budget and rate limit controls in the Portkey app (for API keys and providers). If you're familiar with those, this will feel identical—just applied at the workspace level.

## Notification System

When workspace limits are approached or reached, Portkey automatically sends notifications to:

* Organization administrators and owners

## Use Cases

Workspace budget limits are particularly useful for:

* **Departmental Allocations**: Assign specific AI budgets to different departments (Marketing, Customer Support, R\&D)
* **Project Management**: Allocate resources based on project priority and requirements
* **Cost Center Tracking**: Monitor and control spending across different cost centers
* **Phased Rollouts**: Gradually increase limits as teams demonstrate value and mature their AI use cases

### Set Workspace Budget and Rate Limits using Portkey Admin API

Use the Admin API to programmatically manage workspace budgets and rate limits.

* The endpoint updates a workspace and accepts both `usage_limits` (budgets) and `rate_limits`.
* Budget limits mirror the app controls: cost- or token-based, optional `alert_threshold`, and optional `periodic_reset` of `weekly` or `monthly`.
* Rate limits support request- or token-based throttling with units `rpm` (per minute), `rph` (per hour), or `rpd` (per day).

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python SDK theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")

  workspace = portkey.admin.workspaces.update(
      workspace_id="WORKSPACE_ID",
      # Workspace budgets (usage_limits): supports multiple entries
      usage_limits=[
          {
              "type": "cost",            # or "tokens"
              "credit_limit": 500,       # integer >= 1; dollars if type == "cost"
              "alert_threshold": 400,    # optional; integer >= 1
              "periodic_reset": "monthly"  # optional; "weekly" | "monthly"
          },
      ],
      # Workspace rate limits: supports multiple entries
      rate_limits=[
          {
              "type": "requests",  # or "tokens"
              "unit": "rpm",       # "rpm" | "rph" | "rpd"
              "value": 120         # integer
          },
      ],
  )

  print(workspace)
  ```

# Enforcing Workspace Level Guardrails
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/administration/enforce-workspace-level-guardials



## Overview

Portkey allows workspace owners to enforce request guardrails at the workspace level. This feature ensures that all API requests made within a workspace comply with predefined policies, enhancing security, compliance, and governance at a more granular level.

## How It Works

Workspace owners can define input and output guardrails in the workspace settings. These guardrails are enforced on all API requests made within the workspace, ensuring uniform policy enforcement across all users and applications in that workspace.

* **Input Guardrails**: Define checks and constraints for incoming LLM requests within the workspace.
* **Output Guardrails**: Ensure LLM responses align with the defined guardrail policies.

The guardrails available here are the ones created within the user's workspace. Users can select any of these as the default input/output guardrails for their workspace. Multiple providers are supported for setting up guardrails. For a detailed list of supported providers and configurations:

<Card title="Guardrails Docs" href="/product/guardrails">
  Learn about the different Guardrails you can set up in Portkey
</Card>

## Configuration

### Setting Up Workspace-Level Guardrails

1. Head to the Portkey dashboard and navigate to the sidebar.
2. Click on your workspace and select the **Edit (🖊️) option**.
3. In the **Edit Workspace** menu:
   * Choose an **Input Guardrail** and  **Output Guardrail** from the options (created in the workspace) .
4. Save your changes.

Once configured, these guardrails will be enforced on all API requests within the workspace.

<Note>
  **Best Practices**

  * Clearly communicate guardrail requirements to all members in your workspace.
  * Maintain internal documentation on your workspace guardrail policies to ensure consistency.

# Enforcing Request Metadata
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/administration/enforcing-request-metadata



## Overview

Portkey allows organisation owners to define mandatory [metadata](/product/observability/metadata) fields that must be included with every API request. This feature enables granular observability across your organisation's LLM usage.

## How It Works

Organisation owners can define JSON schemas specifying required metadata properties for:

* API keys
* Workspaces

These metadata requirements are strictly enforced whenever:

* A new API key is created
* A new workspace is created

<Note>
  Existing API keys and Workspaces will not be affected by the new metadata schema. The new schema will only be enforced on NEW API keys, Workspaces or when existing API keys are updated.
</Note>

## Configuration

### Setting Up Metadata Requirements

1. Head to `Admin Settings` on the Portkey dashboard
2. Navigate to the `Organisation Properties` section
3. Select either `API Key Metadata Schema` or `Workspace Metadata Schema`
4. Create a [JSON schema](#json-schema-requirements) specifying your required metadata fields
5. Add or modify the metadata schem. Save your changes

## JSON Schema Requirements

The metadata schema follows [JSON Schema draft-07](https://json-schema.org/draft-07) with certain modifications:

### Required Schema Properties

* `"type": "object"` at the top level must always be present
* `"additionalProperties": true` must be present and always set to `true`
* Properties inside the schema must always have `"type": "string"`

| Requirement                    | Description                                        |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `"type": "object"`             | The top-level schema must be declared as an object |
| `"properties": {...}`          | Define the metadata fields and their constraints   |
| `"additionalProperties": true` | Additional properties must be allowed              |

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Basic Schema">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {

        }
      },
      "additionalProperties": true
    }
    ```
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Using this Metadata in Portkey

Metadata validation on the schema is enforced on API Key/Workspace creation time.

### When Creating API Keys

When creating a new API key (either Service or User type), you must provide metadata that conforms to the defined schema:

1. Navigate to the API Keys section
2. Click `Create`
3. Fill in the key details
4. In the Metadata field, provide a [JSON schema](#json-schema-requirements) with all required fields
5. If any required fields are missing, you'll receive an error

### When Creating Workspaces

When creating a new workspace, you must provide metadata that conforms to the defined schema:

1. Navigate to Workspaces on the left sidebar
2. Click `+Add Workspace`
3. Fill in the workspace details
4. In the Metadata field, provide a [JSON schema](#json-schema-requirements) with all required fields
5. If any required fields are missing, you'll receive an error

### Default Values

* Properties with default values will be automatically added if not specified
* User-provided values take precedence over default values

## Metadata Precedence Order

When the same key appears at multiple levels, the **precedence order** is:

1. Workspace metadata (highest priority)
2. API key metadata
3. Request metadata (lowest priority)

<Info>
  Please note that before 1.10.20, the precedence order was:

  1. Request metadata (highest priority)
  2. API key metadata
  3. Workspace metadata (lowest priority)
</Info>

<Note>
  Best Practices

  * Organisation owners should clearly communicate metadata requirements to all developers
  * Maintain internal documentation of your metadata schema
</Note>

# Automatic Retries
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/automatic-retries

LLM APIs often have inexplicable failures. With Portkey, you can rescue a substantial number of your requests with our in-built automatic retries feature. 

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

* Automatic retries are triggered **up to 5 times**
* Retries can also be triggered only on **specific error codes**
* Each subsequent retry attempt follows **exponential backoff strategy** to prevent network overload
* Optionally respects provider's `Retry-After` headers for rate-limited requests

## Enabling Retries

To enable retry, just add the `retry` param to your [config object](/api-reference/config-object).

### Retry with 5 attempts

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
    "retry": {
        "attempts": 5
    },
    "provider":"@virtual-key-xxx"
}
```

### Retry only on specific error codes

By default, Portkey triggers retries on the following error codes: **\[429, 500, 502, 503, 504]**

You can change this behaviour by setting the optional `on_status_codes` param in your retry config and manually inputting the error codes on which retry will be triggered.

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3,
    "on_status_codes": [ 408, 429, 401 ]
  },
  "provider":"@virtual-key-xxx"
}
```

<Info>
  If the `on_status_codes` param is present, retries will be triggered **only** on the error codes specified in that Config and not on Portkey's default error codes for retries (i.e. \[429, 500, 502, 503, 504])
</Info>

### Respecting provider's retry headers

Portkey can respect the provider's `retry-after-ms`, `x-ms-retry-after-ms` and `retry-after`response headers when encountering rate limits. This enables more intelligent retry timing based on the provider's response headers rather than using the default exponential backoff strategy.

To enable this feature, add the `use_retry_after_headers` parameter to your retry config. By default this behaviour is disabled, and `use_retry_after_headers` is set to `false`.

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3,
    "on_status_codes": [ 429 ],
    "use_retry_after_headers": true
  },
  "provider":"@virtual-key-xxx"
}
```

<Info>
  When `use_retry_after_headers` is set to `true` and the provider includes `Retry-After` or `Retry-After-ms` headers in their response, Portkey will use these values to determine the wait time before the next retry attempt, overriding the exponential backoff strategy.

  If the provider doesn't include these headers in the response, Portkey will fall back to the standard exponential backoff strategy.

  The cumulative retry wait time for a single request is capped at 60 seconds. For example, if the first retry has a wait time of 20 seconds, and the second retry response includes a Retry-After value of 50 seconds, the request will fail since the total wait time (20+50=70) exceeds the 60-second cap. Similarly, if any single Retry-After value exceeds 60 seconds, the request will fail immediately.
</Info>

### Exponential backoff strategy

When not using provider retry headers (or when they're not available), Portkey triggers retries following this exponential backoff strategy:

| Attempt           | Time out between requests |
| ----------------- | ------------------------- |
| Initial Call      | Immediately               |
| Retry 1st attempt | 1 second                  |
| Retry 2nd attempt | 2 seconds                 |
| Retry 3rd attempt | 4 seconds                 |
| Retry 4th attempt | 8 seconds                 |
| Retry 5th attempt | 16 seconds                |

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

* Automatic retries are triggered **up to 5 times**
* Retries can also be triggered only on **specific error codes**
* And each subsequent retry attempt follows **exponential backoff strategy** to prevent network overload

## Enabling Retries

To enable retry, just add the `retry` param to your [config object](/api-reference/config-object).

### Retry with 5 attempts

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
    "retry": {
        "attempts": 5
    },
    "provider":"@virtual-key-xxx"
}
```

### Retry only on specific error codes

By default, Portkey triggers retries on the following error codes: **\[429, 500, 502, 503, 504]**

You can change this behaviour by setting the optional `on_status_codes` param in your retry config and manually inputting the error codes on which rety will be triggered.

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3,
    "on_status_codes": [ 408, 429, 401 ]
  },
  "provider":"@virtual-key-xxx"
}
```

<Info>
  If the `on_status_codes` param is present, retries will be triggered **only** on the error codes specified in that Config and not on Portkey's default error codes for retries (i.e. \[429, 500, 502, 503, 504])
</Info>

### Exponential backoff strategy

Here's how Portkey triggers retries following exponential backoff:

| Attempt           | Time out between requests |
| ----------------- | ------------------------- |
| Initial Call      | Immediately               |
| Retry 1st attempt | 1 second                  |
| Retry 2nd attempt | 2 seconds                 |
| Retry 3rd attempt | 4 seconds                 |
| Retry 4th attempt | 8 seconds                 |
| Retry 5th attempt | 16 seconds                |

### Understanding the Retry Attempt Header

In the response from Portkey, you can find the `x-portkey-retry-attempt-count` header which provides information about retry attempts:

* If the value is `-1`: This means that Portkey exhausted all the retry attempts and the request was unsuccessful
* If the value is `0`: This means that there were no retries configured
* If the value is `>0`: This means that Portkey attempted retries and this is the exact number at which the request was successful

<Note>
  Currently, Portkey does not log all the retry attempts individually in the logs dashboard. Instead, the response times from all retry attempts are summed up in the single log entry.

# Unified Batch Inference
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/batches

Run large‑scale inference jobs through one consistent endpoint

<Info>
  **Enterprise Feature** <br /> Batch inference is available on **Enterprise** hybrid and self-hosted plans only. Contact the Portkey team to enable it for your Organization.
</Info>

Portkey's AI Gateway lets you send a single request that fan‑outs to hundreds—or millions—of completions. Choose the mode that best fits cost, latency, and provider support.

## Choose Your Batching Mode

| Mode                                               | When to pick it                                                                                                                                   | Works with                                    |
| -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **[Provider Batch API](#provider-batch-api-mode)** | *Cheapest* for overnight or offline jobs. Uses the provider's native batch endpoint & limits.                                                     | `OpenAI`, `Azure OpenAI`, `Bedrock`, `Vertex` |
| **[Portkey Batch API](#portkey-batch-api-mode)**   | *Fastest* and provider‑agnostic. Batches at the Gateway layer; ideal when a provider has no native batch support or you need cross‑provider jobs. | Any provider supported by Portkey Gateway     |

<Tip>
  <strong>Quick rule of thumb →</strong> <br /> Need low latency or multi‑provider batching? **Portkey Batch API**. Otherwise, stick with the provider's native batch for cost savings.
</Tip>

***

## Before You Start

Have the following ready to start making batch requests:

1. **Portkey account & API key**.
2. [Data Service](/changelog/data-service) to be enabled.
3. **Provider credentials** for each downstream model (OpenAI key, Bedrock IAM role, etc.).
4. A **Portkey File** (`input_file_id`) - **required only when using the Portkey Batch API (Mode #2)**. See [Files](/product/ai-gateway/files) to upload one.
5. Optional: Familiarity with the [Create Batch OpenAPI spec](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/batch/create-batch).

***

## Provider Batch API Mode

Used to run batch jobs with the provider's native batch endpoint. Providers usually offer a cheaper rate for batch jobs, but you'll be limited by the provider's quota and limits. Most completion windows are about 24 hours.

<Note>
  **Polling for batch status**: Portkey's gateway is stateless and does not poll for completion status of batches on the provider side. You must poll the batch status manually using the unified API with the same signature for all supported providers. See [Retrieve Batch](/api-reference/inference-api/batch/retrieve-batch) for details.
</Note>

### Quickstart (OpenAI example)

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST https://api.portkey.ai/v1/batches \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-provider: $@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG" \
    -d '{
      "input_file_id": "file_abc123",
      "completion_window": "24h",
      "endpoint": "/v1/chat/completions",
  }'
  ```

  ```javascript Typescript theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

  const client = new Portkey({
    apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
    provider: '@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG'
  });

  async function main() {
    const batch = await client.batches.create({
      input_file_id: "file-abc123",
      endpoint: "/v1/chat/completions",
      completion_window: "24h"
    });

    console.log(batch);
  }

  main();

  ```

  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  client = Portkey(
    api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    provider = "@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG"
  )

  client.batches.create(
    input_file_id="file-abc123",
    endpoint="/v1/chat/completions",
    completion_window="24h"
  )
  ```

## Portkey Managed Batching

Portkey Managed Batching is a feature that allows you to manage batches across multiple providers with minimal effort and a unified API.

Read more about portkey file [here](/product/ai-gateway/files).

### How It Works

1. Submit a batch request to Portkey with portkey file and provider information.
   * Batch requests respect metadata, budgets, and other batch request parameters.
2. Portkey will automatically upload and start the batch with provider.
3. Portkey will periodically check the batch status and update the batch status in Portkey.
4. Once batch is completed, portkey will read the batch output for the following details which will be added to your portkey analytics.
   * Token count
   * Cost
   * Success Request count
   * Failed Request count
   * Total Request count

<Note>
  **Note**: The automatic status polling and analytics described above apply only to **Portkey Managed Batching**. For **Provider Batch API Mode** (Unified Batch Inference), you must poll the batch status manually.
</Note>

## Portkey Custom Batching  ⭐️

Portkey custom batching is a feature that allows you to batch requests to the provider which doesn't have a native batch endpoint.

<Warning>
  Portkey custom batching is not a discounted rate.
</Warning>

### How It Works

Set `completion_window` to `immediate` and Portkey aggregates your requests in memory, then fires them to the target provider in fixed buckets.

| Gateway default | Value                                                   |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Batch size      | **25** requests                                         |
| Batch interval  | **5 s** between flushes                                 |
| Retries         | **3** per request (configurable via `x-portkey-config`) |

*Coming soon*: configurable `batch_size`, `batch_interval`, and `max_retries`.

### Quickstart (provider‑agnostic)

```bash theme={"system"}
curl -X POST https://api.portkey.ai/v1/batches \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <PORTKEY_KEY>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "input_file_id": "pk_file_...",
    "completion_window": "immediate",
    "endpoint": "/v1/chat/completions",
    "portkey_options": {
      "x-portkey-config": "pc-example-config",
      "x-portkey-metadata": "{\"_user\": \"user_123\"}"
    }
}'
```

Because Portkey orchestrates the batching, this works even for providers without a native batch endpoint.

### Response & Monitoring

Identical to Provider mode; the difference is that `provider_job_id` is absent and cost is computed from individual calls.

### About Portkey Files

Portkey Files are files uploaded to Portkey that are then automatically uploaded to the provider. They're useful when you want to make multiple batch completions using the same file. Portkey will:

* Automatically upload the file to the provider on your behalf
* Reuse the content in your batch requests
* Check batch progress and provide post-batch analysis including token and cost calculations
* Make batch outputs available via the `GET /batches/<batch_id>/output` endpoint

## Error Handling & Retries

| Layer                   | What Portkey does                 | How to override                                    |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Gateway (Portkey Batch) | Retries **3×** on network/429/5xx | `x-portkey-config: {"retry": {"max_attempts": 5}}` |
| Provider (native batch) | Provider rules                    | Not configurable via Portkey                       |

***

## Security & IAM

* **Files** are encrypted at rest (AES‑256) and custom encryption key is supported, if required.
* Portkey uploads on your behalf using *least‑privilege* scoped credentials; no long‑lived secrets are stored.
* Access to batch status & outputs is gated by your workspace role (`completions.write`).

# Cache (Simple & Semantic)
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/cache-simple-and-semantic



<Info>
  **Simple** caching is available for all plans.<br />
  **Semantic** caching requires a vector database and is only available on select Enterprise plans. [Contact us](https://portkey.ai/docs/support/contact-us) to learn more about enabling this feature.
</Info>

Speed up and save money on your LLM requests by storing past responses in the Portkey cache. There are 2 cache modes:

* **Simple:** Matches requests verbatim. Perfect for repeated, identical prompts. Works on **all models** including image generation models.
* **Semantic:** Matches responses for requests that are semantically similar. Ideal for denoising requests with extra prepositions, pronouns, etc. Works on any model available on `/chat/completions`or `/completions` routes.

Portkey cache serves requests upto **20x times faster** and **cheaper**.

## Enable Cache in the Config

To enable Portkey cache, just add the `cache` params to your [config object](/api-reference/config-object#cache-object-details).

<Note>
  Caching will not work if the `x-portkey-debug: "false"` header is included in the request
</Note>

## Simple Cache

```sh theme={"system"}
"cache": { "mode": "simple" }
```

### How it Works

Simple cache performs an exact match on the input prompts. If the exact same request is received again, Portkey retrieves the response directly from the cache, bypassing the model execution.

***

## Semantic Cache

```sh theme={"system"}
"cache": { "mode": "semantic" }
```

<Note>
  Semantic caching requires a vector database and is only available on select Enterprise plans. [Contact us](https://portkey.ai/docs/support/contact-us) to learn more about enabling this feature.
</Note>

### How it Works

Semantic cache considers the contextual similarity between input requests. It uses cosine similarity to ascertain if the similarity between the input and a cached request exceeds a specific threshold. If the similarity threshold is met, Portkey retrieves the response from the cache, saving model execution time. Check out this [blog](https://portkey.ai/blog/reducing-llm-costs-and-latency-semantic-cache/) for more details on how we do this.

<Info>
  Semantic cache is a "superset" of both caches. Setting cache mode to "semantic" will work for when there are simple cache hits as well.
</Info>

<Note>
  To optimise for accurate cache hit rates, Semantic cache only works with requests with less than 8,191 input tokens, and with number of messages (human, assistant, system combined) less than or equal to 4.
</Note>

### Ignoring the First Message in Semantic Cache

When using the `/chat/completions` endpoint, Portkey requires at least **two** message objects in the `messages` array. The first message object, typically used for the `system` message, is not considered when determining semantic similarity for caching purposes.

For example:

```JSON theme={"system"}
messages = [
        { "role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant" },
        { "role": "user", "content": "Who is the president of the US?" }
]
```

In this case, only the content of the `user` message ("Who is the president of the US?") is used for finding semantic matches in the cache. The `system` message ("You are a helpful assistant") is ignored.

This means that even if you change the `system` message while keeping the `user` message semantically similar, Portkey will still return a semantic cache hit.

This allows you to modify the behavior or context of the assistant without affecting the cache hits for similar user queries.

### [Read more how to set cache in Configs](/product/ai-gateway/cache-simple-and-semantic#how-cache-works-with-configs).

***

## Setting Cache Age

You can set the age (or "ttl") of your cached response with this setting. Cache age is also set in your Config object:

```json theme={"system"}
"cache": {
    "mode": "semantic",
    "max_age": 60
}
```

In this example, your cache will automatically expire after 60 seconds. Cache age is set in **seconds**.

<Info>
  * **Minimum** cache age is **60 seconds**
  * **Maximum** cache age is **90 days** (i.e. **7776000** seconds)
  * **Default** cache age is **7 days** (i.e. **604800** seconds)
</Info>

***

## Organization-Level Cache TTL Settings

Organization administrators can now define the default cache TTL (Time to Live) for all API keys and workspaces within the organization. This provides centralized control over cache expiration to align with data retention policies.

**How to Configure Organization Cache TTL**

1. Navigate to Admin Settings
2. Select Organization Properties
3. Scroll to Cache Settings
4. Enter your desired default cache TTL value (in seconds)
5. Click Save

### How Organization-Level Cache TTL Works

1. **Default Value**: The value set at the organization level serves as both the maximum and default TTL value.
2. **Precedence Rules**:
   * If no `max_age` is specified in the request, the organization-level default value is used.
   * If the `max_age` value in a request is greater than the organization-level default, the organization-level value takes precedence.
   * If the `max_age` in a request is less than the organization-level default, the lower request value is honored.
3. The max value of Organisation Level Cache TTL is 25923000 seconds.

<Info>
  This feature helps organizations implement consistent cache retention policies while still allowing individual requests to use shorter TTL values when needed.
</Info>

## Force Refresh Cache

Ensure that a new response is fetched and stored in the cache even when there is an existing cached response for your request. Cache force refresh can only be done **at the time of making a request**, and it is **not a part of your Config**.

You can enable cache force refresh with this header:

```sh theme={"system"}
"x-portkey-cache-force-refresh": "True"
```

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      -H "x-portkey-provider: open-ai-xxx" \
      -H "x-portkey-config: cache-config-xxx" \
      -H "x-portkey-cache-force-refresh: true" \
      -d '{
        "messages": [{"role": "user","content": "Hello!"}]
      }'
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```py theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@open-ai-xxx",
        config="pp-cache-xxx"
    )

    response = portkey.with_options(
        cache_force_refresh = True
    ).chat.completions.create(
        messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Hello!' }],
        model = 'gpt-4'
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Node">
    ```JS theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config: "pc-cache-xxx",
        provider:"@open-ai-xxx"
    })

    async function main(){
        const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
            messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }],
            model: 'gpt-4',
        }, {
            cacheForceRefresh: true
        });
    }

    main()
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Info>
  * Cache force refresh is only activated if a cache config is **also passed** along with your request. (setting `cacheForceRefresh` as `true` without passing the relevant cache config will not have any effect)
  * For requests that have previous semantic hits, force refresh is performed on ALL the semantic matches of your request.
</Info>

***

## Cache Namespace: Simplified Cache Partitioning

Portkey generally partitions the cache along all the values passed in your request header. With a custom cache namespace, you can now ignore metadata and other headers, and only partition the cache based on the custom strings that you send.

This allows you to have finer control over your cached data and optimize your cache hit ratio.

### How It Works

To use Cache Namespaces, simply include the `x-portkey-cache-namespace` header in your API requests, followed by any custom string value. Portkey will then use this namespace string as the sole basis for partitioning the cache, disregarding all other headers, including metadata.

For example, if you send the following header:

```sh theme={"system"}
"x-portkey-cache-namespace: user-123"
```

Portkey will cache the response under the namespace `user-123`, ignoring any other headers or metadata associated with the request.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```JS theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config: "pc-cache-xxx",
        provider:"@open-ai-xxx"
    })

    async function main(){
        const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
            messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }],
            model: 'gpt-4',
        }, {
            cacheNamespace: 'user-123'
        });
    }

    main()
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```Python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@open-ai-xxx",
        config="pp-cache-xxx"
    )

    response = portkey.with_options(
        cache_namespace = "user-123"
    ).chat.completions.create(
        messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Hello!' }],
        model = 'gpt-4'
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="cURL">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

      -H "x-portkey-provider: open-ai-xxx" \
      -H "x-portkey-config: cache-config-xxx" \

      -d '{
        "messages": [{"role": "user","content": "Hello!"}]
      }'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

In this example, the response will be cached under the namespace `user-123`, ignoring any other headers or metadata.

***

## Cache in Analytics

Portkey shows you powerful stats on cache usage on the Analytics page. Just head over to the Cache tab, and you will see:

* Your raw number of cache hits as well as daily cache hit rate
* Your average latency for delivering results from cache and how much time it saves you
* How much money the cache saves you

## Cache in Logs

On the Logs page, the cache status is updated on the Status column. You will see `Cache Disabled` when you are not using the cache, and any of `Cache Miss`, `Cache Refreshed`, `Cache Hit`, `Cache Semantic Hit` based on the cache hit status. Read more [here](/product/observability/logs).

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

For each request we also calculate and show the cache response time and how much money you saved with each hit.

## How Cache works with Configs

You can set cache at two levels:

* **Top-level** that works across all the targets.
* **Target-level** that works when that specific target is triggered.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Setting Top-Level Cache">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "cache": {"mode": "semantic", "max_age": 60},
      "strategy": {"mode": "fallback"},
      "targets": [
        {"provider":"@openai-key-1"},
        {"provider":"@openai-key-2"}
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Setting Target-Level Cache">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "strategy": {"mode": "fallback"},
      "targets": [
        {
          "provider":"@openai-key-1",
          "cache": {"mode": "simple", "max_age": 200}
        },
        {
          "provider":"@openai-key-2",
          "cache": {"mode": "semantic", "max_age": 100}
        }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Info>
  You can also set cache at **both levels (top & target).**

  In this case, the **target-level cache** setting will be **given preference** over the **top-level cache** setting. You should start getting cache hits from the second request onwards for that specific target.
</Info>

<Note>
  If any of your targets have `override_params` then cache on that target will not work until that particular combination of params is also stored with the cache. If there are **no** `override_params`for that target, then **cache will be active** on that target even if it hasn't been triggered even once.
</Note>

You can use Portkey's AI gateway to also canary test new models or prompts in different environments. 

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

This uses the same techniques as [load balancing](/product/ai-gateway/load-balancing) but to achieve a different outcome.

### Example: Test Llama2 on 5% of the traffic

Let's take an example where we want to introduce llama2 in our systems (through Anyscale) but we're not sure of the impact. We can create a config specifically for this use case to test llama2 in production.

The config object would look like this

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
      "mode": "loadbalance"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider":"@openai-virtual-key",
      "weight": 0.95
    },
    {
      "provider":"@anyscale-virtual-key",
      "weight": 0.05,
      "override_params": {
          "model": "meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf"
    }
  ]
}
```

Here we are telling the gateway to send 5% of the traffic to anyscale's hosted llama2-70b model. Portkey handles all the request transforms to make sure you don't have to change your code.

You can now [use this config like this](/product/ai-gateway/configs#using-configs) in your requests.

Once data starts flowing in, we can use Portkey's [analytics dashboards](/product/observability/analytics) to see the impact of the new model on cost, latency, errors and feedback.


# Circuit Breaker
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/circuit-breaker

Configure per-strategy circuit protection and failure handling

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

## Circuit Breaker Config Schema

Each `strategy` in a config may define a `cb_config` with the following fields:

* **failure\_threshold**: Number of failures after which the circuit opens.
* **failure\_threshold\_percentage** *(optional)*: Percentage failure rate to trip the circuit.
* **cooldown\_interval**: Time (in milliseconds) to wait before allowing retries. A minimum of 30 seconds is enforced.
* **failure\_status\_codes** *(optional)*: Specific HTTP status codes considered as failures. If not provided, all status codes >500 are considered as failures.
* **minimum\_requests** *(optional)*: Minimum number of requests required before failure rate is evaluated.

<Info>
  - Strategies can inherit `cb_config` from a parent if not set at their level.
  - Targets inherit `cb_config` from their parent strategy.
</Info>

<Warning>
  Strategies using the `conditional` mode are **not considered** in circuit breaker logic.
</Warning>

## Example Config

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback",
    "cb_config": {
      "failure_threshold_percentage": 20,
      "minimum_requests": 10,
      "cooldown_interval": 60000,
      "failure_status_codes": [
        401,
        429,
        500
      ]
    }
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "virtual_key": "virtual-key-1"
    },
    {
      "virtual_key": "virtual-key-2"
    }
  ]
}
```

## Circuit State Evaluation

Circuit breaker logic is evaluated per strategy path. It tracks:

* Number of failures and successes.
* The time of the first failure.
* Whether the total requests meet the `minimum_requests` threshold and calculates failure rate as percentage

The circuit is **OPEN**(unhealthy) if:

* The failure count exceeds the `failure_threshold`, or
* The failure rate exceeds `failure_threshold_percentage`.

Once **OPEN**, requests to the affected targets are blocked until the `cooldown_interval` has passed.

When the cooldown period ends, the circuit is **CLOSED** automatically, and failure counters are reset.

## Runtime Behavior

* At each strategy level, the circuit breaker evaluates the status of all sibling targets.
* Unhealthy targets (circuit OPEN) are removed from the target list before strategy execution.
* If no healthy targets remain, circuit breaker is bypassed and all targets are used for routing.

# Conditional Routing
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/conditional-routing



<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

Using Portkey Gateway, you can route your requests to different provider targets based on custom conditions you define. These can be conditions like:

* If this user is on the `paid plan`, route their request to a `custom fine-tuned model`
* If the model parameter is set to `fastest`, route to `gpt-4o-mini`, if `smartest`, route to `openai o1`
* If this user is an `EU resident`, call an `EU hosted model`
* If the `temperature` parameter is above `0.7`, route to a more creative model
* If the request is coming from `testing environment` with a `llm-pass-through` flag, route it to the `cheapest model`
* ..and more!

Using this strategy, you can set up sophisticated routing logic based on:

1. **Metadata** - Custom key-value pairs you pass with your requests
2. **Request Parameters** - Any parameter that you send in your original LLM request (like model, temperature, max\_tokens)
3. **Request URL Path** - Match against `url.pathname` (for example, route `/embeddings` requests)

All routing happens very fast on the *gateway*, on *edge*.

## Enabling Conditional Routing

Conditional routing is one of the *strategies* in Portkey's [Gateway Configs](/product/ai-gateway/configs). (others being `fallback` and `loadbalance`). To use it in your app,

1. You need to create a `conditional` config in Portkey UI.
2. Save the Config and get an associated Config ID.
3. And just pass the Config ID along with your requests using the `config` param.

## 1. Creating the `conditional` Config

Here's how a sample `conditional` config looks (along with its simpler, tree view).

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Sample Config">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "strategy": {
        "mode": "conditional",
        "conditions": [
          ...conditions
        ],
        "default": "target_1"
      },
      "targets": [
        {
          "name": "target_1",
          "provider": "@xx"
        },
        {
          "name": "target_2",
          "provider": "@yy"
        }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Tree View">
    ```
    │─ config
    │  │─ strategy mode:conditional
    │  │  │─ conditions
    │  │  │  │─ array of conditions
    │  │  │─ default
    │  │  │  │─ target name
    │  │─ targets
    │  │  │─ target 1
    │  │  │  │─ name
    │  │  │  │─ provider details
    │  │  │─ target 2
    │  │  │  │─ name
    │  │  │  │─ provider details
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

* `strategy.mode`: Set to `conditional`
* `strategy.conditions`: Query conditions with rules applied on metadata values or request parameters along with which target to call when the condition passes
* `strategy.default`: The default target name to call when none of the conditions pass
* `targets`: Array of target objects with unique `names` and provider details. These target names are referenced in the `conditions` objects above.

<Info>
  `conditions` and `default` are **required params** for the `conditional` strategy.
</Info>

### Structure of `conditions` Object

`conditions` are where you will actually write the routing rules. Here's a sample `condition` object:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Metadata Based">
    ```json theme={"system"}
      {
        "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "paid" } },
        "then": "finetuned-gpt4"
      }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Params Based">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "query": { "params.model": { "$eq": "smartest" } },
      "then": "smartest-model-target"
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

`query`: Write the exact rule for checking metadata values or request parameters

`then`: Define which target to call if the query `PASSES`

#### Supported Query Paths and Limits

* `metadata.<key>`: Looks up `context.metadata[<key>]`. Keys must be flat (no additional dots) and values should be primitive types.
* `params.<key>`: Looks up `context.params[<key>]`. Only primitive values are supported for comparisons.
* `url.pathname`: Matches against the full request path (for example, `/admin/users`).

Note: Only two-segment keys are supported (for example, `metadata.user_plan`, `params.model`). Nested paths like `metadata.features.new_model_enabled` are not supported.

### List of Condition Query Operators

| Operator | Description              |
| -------- | ------------------------ |
| `$eq`    | Equals                   |
| `$ne`    | Not equals               |
| `$in`    | In array                 |
| `$nin`   | Not in array             |
| `$regex` | Match the regex          |
| `$gt`    | Greater than             |
| `$gte`   | Greater than or equal to |
| `$lt`    | Less than                |
| `$lte`   | Less than or equal to    |

<Note>
  * `$regex` uses JavaScript regular expressions with no flags. Matching is case-sensitive by default, and invalid patterns simply cause the condition to evaluate to `false`.
</Note>

### Logical Query Operators

* `$and`: All conditions must be true
* `$or`: At least one condition must be true

\*\* Example Condition objects with Logical Operators\*\*

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="AND">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "$and": [
        { "metadata.user_type": { "$eq": "pro" } },
        { "metadata.model": { "$eq": "gpt-4" } }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="OR">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "$or": [
        { "params.temperature": { "$gt": 0.7 } },
        { "params.top_p": { "$lt": 0.8 } }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="MIXED Conditions">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "$or": [
        {
          "$and": [
            { "metadata.user_type": { "$eq": "pro" } },
            { "params.model": { "$eq": "gpt-4o" } }
          ]
        },
        { "params.max_tokens": { "$gt": 1000 } }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Info>
  1. You can write nested queries (with `$and`, `$or` operators)
  2. When a condition evaluates to `false` or is malformed, Portkey moves on to the next condition until it finds a successful one.
  3. If no conditions pass, then the `default` target name is called
  4. Since Portkey iterates through the queries sequentially, the order of your conditions is important
  5. If a referenced key is missing (in `metadata`, `params`, or `url`), the condition evaluates to `false`; it does not throw an error.
</Info>

## 2. Getting Config ID

Based on the `conditions` and the Config structure described above, you can create your [Config in Portkey UI](https://app.portkey.ai/configs), and save it to get Config ID. The UI also helps you autofill and autoformat your Config.

## 3. Implementing Conditional Routing

Conditional routing is enabled through Portkey's [Gateway Configs](/product/ai-gateway/configs) by following these steps:

1. Create a conditional config in Portkey UI ([app.portkey.ai/configs](https://app.portkey.ai/configs))
2. Save the config to get a Config ID
3. Use this Config ID in your requests

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Parameter-Based Routing" href="#routing-based-on-request-parameters" icon="sliders">
    Route requests based on the values of parameters like `model`, `temperature`, or `max_tokens`
  </Card>

  <Card title="Metadata-Based Routing" href="#routing-based-on-metadata" icon="tags">
    Route requests based on custom metadata fields you include with your request
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

You can also combine both approaches for [more sophisticated routing logic](#combined-routing-with-multiple-conditions)

### Routing Based on Request Parameters

With conditional routing, you can route based on any parameter in your LLM request (`model`, `temperature`, `max_tokens`, etc.).

<Note>
  Portkey only supports params routing for primitive types (string, number, boolean). Complex types like arrays and objects are not supported.
</Note>

**Example: Model Parameter Based Routing**

This example routes based on the `model` parameter, allowing you to use aliases instead of specific model names:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "conditional",
    "conditions": [
      {
        "query": {
          "params.model": {
            "$eq": "fastest"
          }
        },
        "then": "fastest-model-target"
      },
      {
        "query": {
          "params.model": {
            "$eq": "smartest"
          }
        },
        "then": "smartest-model-target"
      }
    ],
    "default": "fastest-model-target"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "name": "smartest-model-target",
      "provider":"@anthropic-vk",
      "override_params": {
        "model": "claude-3.5-sonnet"
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "fastest-model-target",
      "provider":"@oai-vk",
      "override_params": {
        "model": "gpt-4o-mini"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

Using the config:

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey
client = Portkey(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    config="model-routing-config-id"
)

# This will use the "smartest" model (claude-3.5-sonnet)
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="smartest",  # This value matches our conditional routing condition
  messages=[
    {"role": "developer", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing to a 5-year-old"}
  ]
)

# This will use the "fastest" model (gpt-4o-mini)
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="fastest",  # This value matches our conditional routing condition
  messages=[
    {"role": "developer", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "What's 2+2?"}
  ]
)
```

<Info>
  When using parameter-based routing, make sure to include the parameter specified in your routing condition in your request. In the example above, you need to include `model` in your request for routing to work properly.
</Info>

### Routing Based on Metadata

Portkey support [metadata](/product/observability/metadata)-based routing, which requires sending custom metadata with your request.

**Applying Conditional Routing Based on Metadata**

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Simple Conditional Config">
    In this example we are routing our request based on `user_plan` metadata sent along request. If the user is on a `paid` plan, we route to a `finetuned-gpt4` model, otherwise we route to a `base-gpt4` model.

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "strategy": {
        "mode": "conditional",
        "conditions": [
          {
            "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "paid" } },
            "then": "finetuned-gpt4"
          },
          {
            "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "free" } },
            "then": "base-gpt4"
          }
        ],
        "default": "base-gpt4"
      },
      "targets": [
        {
          "name": "finetuned-gpt4",
          "provider": "@xx",
          "override_params": {
              "model": "ft://gpt4-xxxxx"
          }
        },
        {
          "name": "base-gpt4",
          "provider": "@yy",
          "override_params": {
              "model": "gpt-4"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Nested Conditional Config">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "strategy": {
        "mode": "conditional",
        "conditions": [
          {
            "query": {
              "$and": [
                { "metadata.user_type": { "$eq": "pro" } },
                { "metadata.user_tier": { "$eq": "tier-1" } }
              ]
            },
            "then": "gpt4_v2_target"
          },
          {
            "query": {
              "$or": [
                { "metadata.client": { "$eq": "UI" } },
                { "metadata.app_name": { "$regex": "my_app" } }
              ]
            },
            "then": "app_target"
          }
        ],
        "default": "default_target"
      },
      "targets": [
        { "name": "gpt4_v2_target", "provider":"@openai-xx"},
        { "name": "app_target", "provider":"@openai-yy" },
        { "name": "default_target", "provider":"@openai-zz" }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Using the config:

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    config="my-conditional-router-config"
)

response = portkey.with_options(
    metadata = {
        "user_plan": "free",
        "environment": "production",
        "session_id": "1729"
}).chat.completions.create(
    messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'What is 1729' }]
)
```

<Info>
  You can combine both metadata and request parameters in your conditions. For example, you can route based on a combination of `metadata.user_plan` and `params.model`.
</Info>

### Combined Routing with Multiple Conditions

You can combine metadata and parameter conditions for more sophisticated routing:

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

client = Portkey(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    config="combined-routing-config-id"
)

# Route based on both metadata and temperature parameter
completion = client.with_options(
    metadata={"user_tier": "enterprise"}
).chat.completions.create(
    temperature=0.9,  # High temperature will route to creative model
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a story about dragons"}]
)
```

Config example for combined conditions:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "conditional",
    "conditions": [
      {
        "query": {
          "$and": [
            { "metadata.user_tier": { "$eq": "enterprise" } },
            { "params.temperature": { "$gte": 0.7 } }
          ]
        },
        "then": "creative-premium-target"
      }
    ],
    "default": "standard-target"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "name": "creative-premium-target",
      "provider":"@anthropic-vk",
      "override_params": { "model": "claude-3-opus" }
    },
    {
      "name": "standard-target",
      "provider":"@openai-vk",
      "override_params": { "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo" }
    }
  ]
}
```

  <Accordion title="Using Conditional Router with Guardrails">
    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Input Guardrails">
        You can apply input guardrails to specific targets in your conditional routing configuration. This allows you to validate or transform the input before it's sent to the LLM:

        ```json theme={"system"}
        {
          "strategy": {
            "mode": "conditional",
            "conditions": [
              {
                "query": {
                  "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "paid" }
                },
                "then": "premium-model"
              },
              {
                "query": {
                  "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "free" }
                },
                "then": "standard-model"
              }
            ],
            "default": "standard-model"
          },
          "targets": [
            {
              "name": "premium-model",
              "provider":"@openai-vk-xxx",
              "input_guardrails": ["pg-pii-detector-xxx", "pg-toxic-content-xxx"]
            },
            {
              "name": "standard-model",
              "provider":"@openai-vk-yyy"
            }
          ]
        }
        ```

        In this example, when a user with the "paid" plan sends a request, it's routed to the premium model but first runs through two input guardrails: one for PII detection and another for toxic content filtering.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Output Guardrails">
        You can also apply output guardrails to validate or transform the LLM's response:

        ```json theme={"system"}
        {
          "strategy": {
            "mode": "conditional",
            "conditions": [
              {
                "query": {
                  "params.temperature": { "$gte": 0.7 }
                },
                "then": "creative-model"
              }
            ],
            "default": "standard-model"
          },
          "targets": [
            {
              "name": "creative-model",
              "provider":"@anthropic-vk-xxx",
              "output_guardrails": [
                "pg-fact-checker-xxx",
                "pg-content-moderator-xxx"
              ]
            },
            {
              "name": "standard-model",
              "provider":"@openai-vk-xxx"
            }
          ]
        }
        ```

        This configuration applies output guardrails to the "creative-model" target, which is used when the temperature parameter is high. The response from this model will be checked for factual accuracy and moderated for inappropriate content.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Both Input and Output Guardrails">
        For comprehensive protection, you can apply both input and output guardrails to your targets:

        ```json theme={"system"}
        {
          "strategy": {
            "mode": "conditional",
            "conditions": [
              {
                "query": {
                  "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "paid" }
                },
                "then": "premium-model"
              },
              {
                "query": {
                  "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "free" }
                },
                "then": "standard-model"
              }
            ],
            "default": "standard-model"
          },
          "targets": [
            {
              "name": "premium-model",
              "provider":"@openai-vk-xxx",
              "input_guardrails": ["pg-pii-detector-xxx", "pg-toxic-content-xxx"],
              "output_guardrails": ["pg-fact-checker-xxx", "pg-compliance-xxx"]
            },
            {
              "name": "standard-model",
              "provider":"@openai-vk-yyy",
              "input_guardrails": ["pg-basic-filter-xxx"],
              "output_guardrails": ["pg-basic-moderator-xxx"]
            }
          ]
        }
        ```

        This configuration provides end-to-end protection by:

        1. First checking inputs with guardrails before sending to the LLM
        2. Then validating outputs with guardrails before returning to the user

        Each target can have its own set of guardrails, allowing you to apply different levels of protection based on your routing conditions.
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>

    <Info>
      Guardrails are referenced by their IDs in the configuration. You can create guardrails in the Portkey UI and then reference them in your conditional routing config.

## Important Note

1. **Parameter Presence**: When routing based on request parameters, make sure the parameters specified in your conditions are included in your requests.

2. **Primitive Types Only**: Parameter-based routing works with primitive data types (strings, numbers, booleans) but not with arrays or nested objects.

3. **Order Matters**: Conditions are evaluated in the order they're defined, so place more specific conditions before more general ones.

4. **Missing Keys Do Not Error**: If your condition references a parameter or metadata key that doesn't exist in the request, the condition evaluates to `false`. The router tries the next condition, and if none pass, uses the `default` target.

5. **Multiple Parameter Types**: Portkey supports routing based on any parameter that can be sent in LLM requests including `model`, `temperature`, `top_p`, `frequency_penalty`, `presence_penalty`, `max_tokens`, and many others.

6. **Supported Query Paths**: `metadata.<key>`, `params.<key>`, and `url.pathname`. Nested paths beyond these (for example, `metadata.a.b`) are not supported.

# Configs
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/configs

This feature is available on all Portkey plans.

<Info>
  Available on all Portkey plans.
</Info>

Configs streamline your Gateway management, enabling you to programmatically control various aspects like fallbacks, load balancing, retries, caching, and more.

A configuration is a JSON object that can be used to define routing rules for all the requests coming to your gateway. You can configure multiple configs and use them in your requests.

## Creating Configs

Navigate to the ‘Configs’ page in the Portkey app and click 'Create' to start writing a new config.

## Using Configs

Configs are supported across all integrations.

* Through the config parameter of the Portkey SDK client(Directly or via [frameworks](/integrations/llms))
* Through the config headers in the OpenAI SDK
* Via the REST API through the `x-portkey-config` header

### Applying Gateway Configs

Gateway [configs](/product/ai-gateway/configs) allow you to unlock the gateway superpowers of Portkey. You can create a config in the UI and attach it's config id in the OpenAI client.

### Setting Default Configs on API Keys

You can attach a default config directly to an API key, which means all requests made with that key will automatically use the specified config without needing to include it in each request. This is particularly useful for:

* **Integrations that don't support custom headers** (like Open WebUI, LibreChat, and other OpenAI-compatible interfaces)
* **Enforcing organization-wide governance policies** without requiring code changes
* **Centralized configuration management** where all applications using a specific API key share the same routing, fallbacks, and caching rules

When you attach a default config to an API key, every request made with that key automatically applies the config's settings (routing, fallbacks, caching, etc.), even if the application doesn't send the `x-portkey-config` header.

To set a default config on an API key:

1. Navigate to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) in the Portkey dashboard
2. Create a new API key or edit an existing one
3. In the API key settings, select a config from the **Default Config** dropdown
4. Save the API key

See the [Default Configs documentation](/product/administration/enforce-default-config) for detailed instructions and use cases.

<Note>
  If you specify a config in a request (via headers or SDK parameters), it will override the default config for that specific request. The default config only applies when no config is specified in the request itself.
</Note>

## Configs in Logs

Portkey shows your Config usage smartly on the logs page with the **Status column** and gives you a snapshot of the Gateway activity for every request. [Read more about the status column here](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/logs#request-status-guide).

You can also see the ID of the specific Config used for a request separately in the log details, and jump into viewing/editing it directly from the log details page.

# Fallbacks
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/fallbacks



<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

With an array of Language Model APIs available on the market, each with its own strengths and specialties, wouldn't it be great if you could seamlessly switch between them based on their performance or availability? Portkey's Fallback capability is designed to do exactly that. The Fallback feature allows you to specify a list of providers/models in a prioritized order. If the primary LLM fails to respond or encounters an error, Portkey will automatically fallback to the next LLM in the list, ensuring your application's robustness and reliability.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## Enabling Fallback on LLMs

To enable fallbacks, you can modify the [config object](/api-reference/config-object) to include the `fallback` mode.

Here's a quick example of a config to **fallback** to Anthropic's `claude-3.5-sonnet` if OpenAI's `gpt-4o` fails.

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
      "mode": "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider":"@openai-virtual-key",
      "override_params": {
          "model": "gpt-4o"
      }
    },
    {
      "provider":"@anthropic-virtual-key",
      "override_params": {
          "model": "claude-3.5-sonnet-20240620"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

In this scenario, if the OpenAI model encounters an error or fails to respond, Portkey will automatically retry the request with Anthropic.

[Using Configs in your Requests](/product/ai-gateway/configs#using-configs)

## Triggering fallback on specific error codes

By default, fallback is triggered on any request that returns a **non-2xx** status code.

You can change this behaviour by setting the optional `on_status_codes` param in your fallback config and manually inputting the status codes on which fallback will be triggered.

```sh theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback",
    "on_status_codes": [ 429 ]
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider":"@openai-virtual-key"
    },
    {
      "provider":"@azure-openai-virtual-key"
    }
  ]
}
```

Here, fallback from OpenAI to Azure OpenAI will only be triggered when there is a `429` error code from the OpenAI request (i.e. rate limiting error)

## Tracing Fallback Requests on Portkey

Portkey logs all the requests that are sent as a part of your fallback config. This allows you to easily trace and see which targets failed and see which ones were eventually successful.

To see your fallback trace,

1. On the Logs page, first filter the logs with the specific `Config ID` where you've setup the fallback - this will show all the requests that have been sent with that config.
2. Now, trace an individual request and all the failed + successful logs for it by filtering further on `Trace ID` - this will show all the logs originating from a single request.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## Caveats and Considerations

While the Fallback on LLMs feature greatly enhances the reliability and resilience of your application, there are a few things to consider:

1. Ensure the LLMs in your fallback list are compatible with your use case. Not all LLMs offer the same capabilities.
2. Keep an eye on your usage with each LLM. Depending on your fallback list, a single request could result in multiple LLM invocations.
3. Understand that each LLM has its own latency and pricing. Falling back to a different LLM could have implications on the cost and response time.


# Files
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/files

Upload files to Portkey and reuse the content in your requests

Portkey supports managing files in two ways:

1. **Provider Files**: Uploading and managing files directly to any provider using the unified signature
2. **Portkey Files**: Uploading files to Portkey and using them for batching/fine-tuning requests with any provider

***

## 1. Provider Files

Upload and manage files directly to providers (OpenAI, Bedrock, etc.) using Portkey's unified API signature. This approach is useful when you need provider-specific file features or want to manage files directly on the provider's platform.

### Supported Providers

* [OpenAI](/integrations/llms/openai/files)
* [Bedrock](/integrations/llms/bedrock/files)
* [Azure OpenAI](/integrations/llms/azure-openai/files)
* [Fireworks](/integrations/llms/fireworks/files)
* [Vertex AI](/integrations/llms/vertex-ai/files)

### Quick Example

```bash theme={"system"}
curl -X POST https://api.portkey.ai/v1/files \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
  -H "x-portkey-provider: openai" \
  -F "purpose=fine-tune" \
  -F "file=@training_data.jsonl"
```

***

## 2. Portkey Files

Upload files to Portkey and reuse them for [batching inference](/product/ai-gateway/batches) with any provider and [fine-tuning](/product/ai-gateway/fine-tuning) with supported providers. This approach is ideal for:

* Testing your data with different foundation models
* Performing A/B testing across multiple providers
* Batch inference with provider-agnostic file management
* Reusing the same file across multiple batch jobs

### File Requirements

* **Format**: JSONL files where each line contains a single request payload

### Uploading Files

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST https://api.portkey.ai/v1/files \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -F "purpose=batch" \
    -F "file=@batch_data.jsonl"
  ```

  ```javascript Typescript theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

  const client = new Portkey({
    apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY'
  });

  const file = await client.files.create({
    purpose: 'batch',
    file: fs.createReadStream('batch_data.jsonl')
  });

  console.log(file);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  client = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")

  with open('batch_data.jsonl', 'rb') as f:
      file = client.files.create(
          purpose='batch',
          file=f
      )

  print(file)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Listing Files

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={"system"}
  curl -X GET https://api.portkey.ai/v1/files \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $PORTKEY_API_KEY"
  ```

  ```javascript Typescript theme={"system"}
  const files = await client.files.list();
  console.log(files);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  files = client.files.list()
  print(files)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Get File Details

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={"system"}
  curl -X GET https://api.portkey.ai/v1/files/{file_id} \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $PORTKEY_API_KEY"
  ```

  ```javascript Typescript theme={"system"}
  const file = await client.files.retrieve('file_abc123');
  console.log(file);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  file = client.files.retrieve('file_abc123')
  print(file)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Get File Content

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={"system"}
  curl -X GET https://api.portkey.ai/v1/files/{file_id}/content \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $PORTKEY_API_KEY"
  ```

  ```javascript Typescript theme={"system"}
  const content = await client.files.content('file_abc123');
  console.log(content);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  content = client.files.content('file_abc123')
  print(content)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

***

## File Format Examples

### Batch Inference JSONL Format

Each line should be a valid JSON object representing a single request:

```jsonl theme={"system"}
{"custom_id": "request-1", "method": "POST", "url": "/v1/chat/completions", "body": {"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo-0125", "messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},{"role": "user", "content": "Hello world!"}],"max_tokens": 1000}}
{"custom_id": "request-2", "method": "POST", "url": "/v1/chat/completions", "body": {"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo-0125", "messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are an unhelpful assistant."},{"role": "user", "content": "Hello world!"}],"max_tokens": 1000}}
```

### Fine-tuning JSONL Format

For fine-tuning, each line should contain training examples:

```jsonl theme={"system"}
{"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi! How can I help you today?"}]}
{"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."}, {"role": "user", "content": "What's 2+2?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "2+2 equals 4."}]}
```

***

## Security & Best Practices

* **Encryption**: Files are encrypted at rest using AES-256
* **Access Control**: File access is gated by workspace permissions
* **Provider Upload**: Portkey uploads files to providers using least-privilege credentials

***


# Fine-tuning
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/fine-tuning

Run your fine-tuning jobs with Portkey Gateway

Portkey Gateway supports fine-tuning in two ways:

1. Fine-tuning with portkey as a provider, supports multiple providers with a single unified API.
2. Fine-tuning with Portkey as a client, supports following providers:
   * [OpenAI](/integrations/llms/openai/fine-tuning)
   * [Bedrock](/integrations/llms/bedrock/fine-tuning)
   * [Azure OpenAI](/integrations/llms/azure-openai/fine-tuning)
   * [Fireworks](/integrations/llms/fireworks/fine-tuning)
   * [Vertex](/integrations/llms/vertex-ai/fine-tuning)

## 1. Fine-tuning with Portkey as a client

With Portkey acting as a client, gives you the following benefits:

1. Provider specific fine-tuning.
2. More control over the fine-tuning process.
3. Unified API for all providers.

## 2. Fine-tuning with Portkey as a provider

With Portkey acting as provider, gives you the following benefits:

1. Unified API for all providers
2. No need to manage multiple endpoints and keys
3. Easy to switch between providers with limited changes
4. Easier integration with Portkey's other features like batching, etc.

## How to use fine-tuning

Portkey supports a Unified Fine-tuning API for all providers which is based on OpenAI's Fine-tuning API.

While the signature of API is same for all providers, there are places where a specific provider require some more information which can be passed via headers if used as a client, or by `portkey_options` params if used as a provider.

### Fine-tuning with Portkey as a client

**Upload a File**

```sh theme={"system"}
curl -X POST --header 'x-portkey-api-key: <portkey_api_key>' \
 --form 'file=@dataset.jsonl' \
 --form 'purpose=fine-tune' \
 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/files'
```

<Info>Learn more about [files](/product/ai-gateway/files)</Info>

**Create a Fine-tuning Job**

```sh theme={"system"}
curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 --header 'x-portkey-api-key: <portkey_api_key>' \
 --data \
 $'{"model": "<base_model>", "suffix": "<finetune_name>", "training_file": "<file_id>", "portkey_options": {"x-portkey-provider": "<virtual_key>"}, "method": {"type": "supervised", "supervised": {"hyperparameters": {"n_epochs": 1}}}}\n' \
'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/fine_tuning/jobs'
```

<Tip>
  `portkey_options` supports all the options that are supported by each provider
  in the gateway. Values can be provider specific, refer to provider's
  documentation for each provider's specific options required for fine-tuning.
</Tip>

**List Fine-tuning Jobs**

```sh theme={"system"}
curl -X GET --header 'x-portkey-api-key: <portkey_api_key>' \
'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/fine_tuning/jobs'
```

**Get Fine-tuning Job**

```sh theme={"system"}
curl -X GET --header 'x-portkey-api-key: <portkey_api_key>' \
'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/fine_tuning/jobs/<job_id>'
```

**Cancel Fine-tuning Job**

```sh theme={"system"}
curl -X POST --header 'x-portkey-api-key: <portkey_api_key>' \
'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/fine_tuning/jobs/<job_id>/cancel'
```

When you use Portkey as a provider for fine-tuning, everything is managed by Portkey hosted solution, this includes job submission with provider, monitoring job status and able to use the fine-tuned model with Portkey's Prompt Playground.

<Note>
  Providers like OpenAI, Azure OpenAPI does provider a straight forward approach
  to use the fine-tuned model for inference whereas providers like `Bedrock` abd
  `Vertex` does require you to manually provide compute which is hard for
  portkey to manage.
</Note>

**Notes**:

* For `Bedrock`, `model` param should point to the `modelId` from `portkey` and the `modelId` to submit to the provider should be passed via `provider_options`. Example is available below.

```sh theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'x-portkey-api-key: <portkey_api_key>' \
  --data \
  $'{"model": "amazon.titan-text-lite-v1:0", "suffix": "<finetune_name>", "training_file": "<file_id>", "provider_options": {"model": "amazon.titan-text-lite-v1:0:4k"}, "method": {"type": "supervised", "supervised": {"hyperparameters": {"n_epochs": 1}}}}\n' \
  'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/fine_tuning/jobs'
```

> For more info about `modelId`, please refer to the provider's documentation.

Please refer to the provider's documentation for fine-tuning with Portkey as a gateway.

# Load Balancing
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/load-balancing

Load Balancing feature efficiently distributes network traffic across multiple LLMs.

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

This ensures high availability and optimal performance of your generative AI apps, preventing any single LLM from becoming a performance bottleneck.

## Enable Load Balancing

To enable Load Balancing, you can modify the `config` object to include a `strategy` with `loadbalance` mode.

Here's a quick example to **load balance 75-25** between an OpenAI and an Azure OpenAI account

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
      "mode": "loadbalance"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider":"@openai-virtual-key",
      "weight": 0.75
    },
    {
      "provider":"@azure-virtual-key",
      "weight": 0.25
    }
  ]
}
```

### You can [create](/product/ai-gateway/configs#creating-configs) and then [use](/product/ai-gateway/configs#using-configs) the config in your requests.

## How Load Balancing Works

1. **Defining the Loadbalance Targets & their Weights**: You provide a list of `providers`, and assign a `weight` value to each target. The weights represent the relative share of requests that should be routed to each target.
2. **Weight Normalization**: Portkey first sums up all the weights you provided for the targets. It then divides each target's weight by the total sum to calculate the normalized weight for that target. This ensures the weights add up to 1 (or 100%), allowing Portkey to distribute the load proportionally.
   For example, let's say you have three targets with weights 5, 3, and 1. The total sum of weights is 9 (5 + 3 + 1). Portkey will then normalize the weights as follows:
   * Target 1: 5 / 9 = 0.55 (55% of the traffic)
   * Target 2: 3 / 9 = 0.33 (33% of the traffic)
   * Target 3: 1 / 9 = 0.11 (11% of the traffic)
3. **Request Distribution**: When a request comes in, Portkey routes it to a target LLM based on the normalized weight probabilities. This ensures the traffic is distributed across the LLMs according to the specified weights.

<Info>
  * Default`weight`value is`1`
  * Minimum`weight`value is`0`
  * If `weight` is not set for a target, the default `weight` value (i.e. `1`) is applied.
  * You can set `"weight":0` for a specific target to stop routing traffic to it without removing it from your Config
</Info>

## Sticky Load Balancing

Sticky load balancing ensures that requests with the same identifier are consistently routed to the same target. This is useful for:

* Maintaining conversation context across multiple requests
* Ensuring consistent model behavior for A/B testing
* Session-based routing for user-specific experiences

### Configuration

Add `sticky_session` to your load balancing strategy:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance",
    "sticky_session": {
      "hash_fields": ["metadata.user_id"],
      "ttl": 3600
    }
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "@openai-virtual-key",
      "weight": 0.5
    },
    {
      "provider": "@anthropic-virtual-key", 
      "weight": 0.5
    }
  ]
}
```

### Parameters

| Parameter     | Type   | Description                                                                                                                                           |
| ------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `hash_fields` | array  | Fields to use for generating the sticky session identifier. Supports dot notation for nested fields (e.g., `metadata.user_id`, `metadata.session_id`) |
| `ttl`         | number | Time-to-live in seconds for the sticky session. After this period, a new target may be selected. Default: 3600 (1 hour)                               |

### How It Works

1. **Identifier Generation**: When a request arrives, Portkey generates a hash from the specified `hash_fields` values
2. **Target Lookup**: The hash is used to look up the previously assigned target from cache
3. **Consistent Routing**: If a cached assignment exists and hasn't expired, the request goes to the same target
4. **New Assignment**: If no cached assignment exists, a new target is selected based on weights and cached for future requests

<Note>
  Sticky sessions use a two-tier cache system (in-memory + Redis) for fast lookups and persistence across gateway instances in distributed deployments.
</Note>

## Caveats and Considerations

While the Load Balancing feature offers numerous benefits, there are a few things to consider:

1. Ensure the LLMs in your list are compatible with your use case. Not all LLMs offer the same capabilities or respond in the same format.
2. Be aware of your usage with each LLM. Depending on your weight distribution, your usage with each LLM could vary significantly.
3. Keep in mind that each LLM has its own latency and pricing. Diversifying your traffic could have implications on the cost and response time.
4. **Sticky sessions** require Redis for persistence across gateway instances. Without Redis, sticky sessions will only work within a single gateway instance's memory.


# Multimodal Capabilities
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/multimodal-capabilities



<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

The Gateway is your unified interface for **multimodal models**, along with chat, text, and embedding models.

Using the Gateway, you can call `vision`, `audio (text-to-speech & speech-to-text)`, `image generation` and other multimodal models from multiple providers (like `OpenAI`, `Anthropic`, `Stability AI`, etc.) — all using the familiar OpenAI signature.

# Function Calling
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/multimodal-capabilities/function-calling

Portkey's AI Gateway supports function calling capabilities that many foundational model providers offer. In the API call you can describe functions and the model can choose to output text or this function name with parameters.

## Functions Usage

Portkey supports the OpenAI signature to define functions as part of the API request. The `tools` parameter accepts functions which can be sent specifically for models that support function/tool calling.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

# Image Generation
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/multimodal-capabilities/image-generation

Portkey's AI gateway supports image generation capabilities that many foundational model providers offer.

The most common use case is that of **text-to-image** where the user sends a prompt which the image model processes and returns an image.

<Info>
  The guide for vision models is [available here](/product/ai-gateway/multimodal-capabilities/vision).

# Speech-to-Text
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/multimodal-capabilities/speech-to-text

Portkey's AI gateway supports STT models like Whisper by OpenAI.

## Transcription & Translation Usage

Portkey supports both `Transcription` and `Translation` methods for STT models and follows the OpenAI signature where you can send the file (in `flac`, `mp3`, `mp4`, `mpeg`, `mpga`, `m4a`, `ogg`, `wav`, or `webm` formats) as part of the API request.

# Text-to-Speech
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/multimodal-capabilities/text-to-speech

Portkey's AI gateway currently supports text-to-speech models on `OpenAI` and `Azure OpenAI`.

## Usage

We follow the OpenAI signature where you can send the input text and the voice option as a part of the API request. All the output formats `mp3`, `opus`, `aac`, `flac`, and `pcm` are supported. Portkey also supports real time audio streaming for TTS models.

Here's an example:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="OpenAI NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import fs from "fs";
    import path from "path";
    import OpenAI from "openai";

    const openai = new OpenAI({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
    });

    const speechFile = path.resolve("./speech.mp3");

    async function main() {
      const mp3 = await openai.audio.speech.create({
        model: "@openai/tts-1",
        voice: "alloy",

# Thinking Mode
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/multimodal-capabilities/thinking-mode



Thinking/Reasoning models represent a new generation of LLMs specifically trained to expose their internal reasoning process. Unlike traditional LLMs that only show final outputs, thinking models like Claude 3.7 Sonnet, OpenAI o1/o3, and Deepseek R1 are designed to "think out loud" - producing a detailed chain of thought before delivering their final response.

These reasoning-optimized models are built to excel in tasks requiring complex analysis, multi-step problem solving, and structured logical thinking. Portkey makes these advanced models accessible through a unified API specification that works consistently across providers.

## Supported Thinking Models

Portkey currently supports thinking-enabled models from **Anthropic**, **Google Vertex AI**, **Amazon Bedrock**, **OpenAI**, and other **OpenAI-compatible providers**.

*Note: If a specific model is not supported for thinking on Portkey, please reach out to us on Discord.*

## Using Thinking Mode

1. You must set `strict_open_ai_compliance=False` in your headers or client configuration
2. The thinking response is returned in a different format than standard completions
3. For streaming responses, the thinking content is in `response_chunk.choices[0].delta.content_blocks`

<Warning>
  Extended thinking API through Portkey is currently in beta.
</Warning>

## Understanding Response Format

When using thinking-enabled models, be aware of the special response format:

<Note>
  The assistant's thinking response is returned in the `response_chunk.choices[0].delta.content_blocks` array, not the `response.choices[0].message.content` string.
</Note>

This is especially important for streaming responses, where you'll need to specifically parse and extract the thinking content from the content blocks.

## When to Use Thinking Models

Thinking models are particularly valuable in specific use cases:

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I use thinking mode with any model?">
    No, thinking mode is only available on specific reasoning-optimized models. Currently, this includes Claude 3.7 Sonnet and will expand to other models as they become available.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does thinking mode increase token usage?">
    Yes, enabling thinking mode will increase your token usage since the model is generating additional content for its reasoning process. The `budget_tokens` parameter lets you control the maximum tokens allocated to thinking.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need to handle the response differently for thinking mode?">
    Yes, particularly for streaming responses. The thinking content is returned in the `content_blocks` array rather than the standard content field, so you'll need to adapt your response parsing logic.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why do I need to set strict_open_ai_compliance to false?">
    The thinking mode response format extends beyond the standard OpenAI completion schema. Setting `strict_open_ai_compliance` to false allows Portkey to return this extended format with the thinking content.
  </Accordion>

# Vision
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/multimodal-capabilities/vision

Portkey's AI gateway supports vision models like GPT-4V by OpenAI, Gemini by Google and more.

<Info>
  **What are vision models?**

  Vision models are artificial intelligence systems that combine both vision and language modalities to process images and natural language text. These models are typically trained on large image and text datasets with different structures based on the pre-training objective.
</Info>

## Vision Chat Completion Usage

Portkey supports the OpenAI signature to define messages with images as part of the API request. Images are made available to the model in two main ways: by passing a link to the image or by passing the base64 encoded image directly in the request.

Here's an example using OpenAI's `gpt-4o` model

### [API Reference](/product/ai-gateway/multimodal-capabilities/vision#vision-chat-completion-usage)

On completion, the request will get logged in the logs UI where any image inputs or outputs can be viewed. Portkey will automatically load the image URLs or the base64 images making for a great debugging experience with vision models.

</Frame>

## Creating prompt templates for vision models

Portkey's prompt library supports creating templates with image inputs. If the same image will be used in all prompt calls, you can save it as part of the template's image URL itself. Or, if the image will be sent via the API as a variable, add a variable to the image link.

# Realtime API
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/realtime-api

Use OpenAI's Realtime API with logs, cost tracking, and more!

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

[OpenAI's Realtime API](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/realtime) while the fastest way to use multi-modal generation, presents its own set of problems around logging, cost tracking and guardrails.

Portkey's AI Gateway provides a solution to these problems with a seamless integration. Portkeys logging is unique in that it captures the entire request and response, including the model's response, cost, and guardrail violations.

# Remote MCP
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/remote-mcp

Portkey's AI gateway has MCP server support that many foundational model providers offer.

[Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide tools and context to LLMs. The MCP tool in the Responses API allows developers to give the model access to tools hosted on **Remote MCP servers**. These are MCP servers maintained by developers and organizations across the internet that expose these tools to MCP clients, like the Responses API.

Portkey Supports using MCP server via the Response API. Calling a remote MCP server with the Responses API is straightforward. For example, here's how you can use the [DeepWiki](https://deepwiki.com/) MCP server to ask questions about nearly any public GitHub repository.

## OpenAI Responses API Remote MCP Support

### MCP Server Authentication

Unlike the DeepWiki MCP server, most other MCP servers require authentication. The MCP tool in the Responses API gives you the ability to flexibly specify headers that should be included in any request made to a remote MCP server. These headers can be used to share API keys, oAuth access tokens, or any other authentication scheme the remote MCP server implements.

The most common header used by remote MCP servers is the `Authorization` header. This is what passing this header looks like:

Use Stripe MCP tool

  ```bash cURL theme={"system"}

To prevent the leakage of sensitive keys, the Responses API does not store the values of **any** string you provide in the `headers` object. These values will also not be visible in the Response object created. Additionally, because some remote MCP servers generate authenticated URLs, we also discard the *path* portion of the `server_url` in our responses (i.e. `example.com/mcp` becomes `example.com`). Because of this, you must send the full path of the MCP `server_url` and any relevant `headers` in every Responses API creation request you make.

## Anthropic's Messages API MCP connector

Claude's Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector feature enables you to connect to remote MCP servers directly from the Messages API without a separate MCP client.

<Note>
  This feature requires the beta header: `"anthropic-beta": "mcp-client-2025-04-04"`
</Note>

**Key features**

* **Direct API integration**: Connect to MCP servers without implementing an MCP client
* **Tool calling support**: Access MCP tools through the Messages API
* **OAuth authentication**: Support for OAuth Bearer tokens for authenticated servers
* **Multiple servers**: Connect to multiple MCP servers in a single request

#### Using the MCP connector in the Messages API

To connect to a remote MCP server, include the `mcp_servers` parameter in your Messages API request:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={"system"}
  curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/messages \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

    -H "anthropic-beta: mcp-client-2025-04-04" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -d '{
      "model": "@your-provider-slug/your-model-name",

          "authorization_token": "YOUR_TOKEN"
        }
      ]
    }'
  ```

  ```typescript Anthropic TS SDK theme={"system"}

#### Response content types

When Claude uses MCP tools, the response will include two new content block types:

##### MCP Tool Use Block

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "type": "mcp_tool_use",
  "id": "mcptoolu_014Q35RayjACSWkSj4X2yov1",
  "name": "echo",
  "server_name": "example-mcp",
  "input": { "param1": "value1", "param2": "value2" }
}
```

##### MCP Tool Result Block

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "type": "mcp_tool_result",
  "tool_use_id": "mcptoolu_014Q35RayjACSWkSj4X2yov1",
  "is_error": false,
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "Hello"
    }
  ]
}
```

#### MCP Server Authentication

For MCP servers that require OAuth authentication, you'll need to obtain an access token. The MCP connector beta supports passing an `authorization_token` parameter in the MCP server definition.
API consumers are expected to handle the OAuth flow and obtain the access token prior to making the API call, as well as refreshing the token as needed.

##### Obtaining an access token for testing

The MCP inspector can guide you through the process of obtaining an access token for testing purposes.

1. Run the inspector with the following command. You need Node.js installed on your machine.
   ```bash theme={"system"}
   npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
   ```

2. In the sidebar on the left, for "Transport type", select either "SSE" or "Streamable HTTP".

3. Enter the URL of the MCP server.

4. In the right area, click on the "Open Auth Settings" button after "Need to configure authentication?".

5. Click "Quick OAuth Flow" and authorize on the OAuth screen.

6. Follow the steps in the "OAuth Flow Progress" section of the inspector and click "Continue" until you reach "Authentication complete".

7. Copy the `access_token` value.

8. Paste it into the `authorization_token` field in your MCP server configuration.

##### Using the access token

Once you've obtained an access token using either OAuth flow above, you can use it in your MCP server configuration:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "mcp_servers": [
    {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://example-server.modelcontextprotocol.io/sse",
      "name": "authenticated-server",
      "authorization_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
    }
  ]
}
```

For detailed explanations of the OAuth flow, refer to the [Authorization section](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/authentication) in the MCP specification.


# Request Timeouts
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/request-timeouts

Manage unpredictable LLM latencies effectively with Portkey's **Request Timeouts**.

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

This feature allows automatic termination of requests that exceed a specified duration, letting you gracefully handle errors or make another, faster request.

## Enabling Request Timeouts

You can enable request timeouts while **making your request** or you can **set them in Configs**.

Request timeouts are specified in **milliseconds** (`integer)`

### While Making Request

Set request timeout while instantiating your Portkey client or if you're using the REST API, send the `x-portkey-request-timeout` header.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        requestTimeout: 3000
    })

    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
        model: '@openai/gpt-4o-mini',
    });

    console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
    ```

    )

    completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],

        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
      }'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### With Configs

In Configs, request timeouts are set at either (1) strategy level, or (2) target level.

For a 10-second timeout, it will be:

```json theme={"system"}
"request_timeout": 10000
```

### Setting Request Timeout at Strategy Level

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": { "mode": "fallback" },
  "request_timeout": 10000,
  "targets": [
    { "provider":"@openai" },
    { "provider":"@azure-openai" }
  ]
}
```

Here, the request timeout of 10 seconds will be applied to \* **all**\* the targets in this Config.

### Setting Request Timeout at Target Level

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": { "mode": "fallback" },
  "targets": [
    { "provider":"@openai", "request_timeout": 10000, },
    { "provider":"@azure-openai", "request_timeout": 2000,}
  ]
}
```

Here, for the first target, a request timeout of 10s will be set, while for the second target, a request timeout of 2s will be set.

<Info>
  Nested target objects inherit the top-level timeout, with the option to override it at any level for customized control.
</Info>

### How timeouts work in nested Configs

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": { "mode": "loadbalance" },
  "request_timeout": 2000,
  "targets": [
    {
      "strategy": { "mode":"fallback" },
      "request_timeout": 5000,
      "targets": [
        {
          "provider:"@openai"
        },
        {
          "provider":"@azure-openai",
          "request_timeout": 10000
        }
      ],
      "weight": 1
    },
    {
      "provider":"@azure-openai",
      "weight": 1
    }
  ]
}
```

1. We've set a global timeout of **2s** at line #3
2. The first target has a nested fallback strategy, with a top level request timeout of **5s** at line #7
3. The first provider (at line #10), the **target-level** timeout of **5s** will be applied
4. For the second provider (i.e. `azure-openai`), there is a timeout override, set at **10s**, which will be applied only to this target
5. For the last provider (i.e. provider `azure-openai`), the top strategy-level timeout of **2s** will be applied

## Handling Request Timeouts

Portkey issues a standard **408 error** for timed-out requests. You can leverage this by setting up fallback or retry strategies through the `on_status_codes` parameter, ensuring robust handling of these scenarios.

### Triggering Fallbacks with Request Timeouts

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback",
    "on_status_codes": [408]
  },
  "targets": [
    { "provider":"@openai", "request_timeout": 2000, },
    { "provider":"@azure-openai"}
  ]
}
```

Here, fallback from OpenAI to Azure OpenAI will only be triggered if the first request times out after 2 seconds, otherwise the request will fail with a 408 error code.

### Triggering Retries with Request Timeouts

```JSON theme={"system"}
{
    "request_timeout": 1000,
    "retry": { "attempts": 3, "on_status_codes": [ 408 ] },
    "provider":"@openai"
}
```

Here, retry is triggered upto 3 times whenever the request takes more than 1s to return a response. After 3 unsuccessful retries, it will fail with a 408 code.

[Here's a general guide on how to use Configs in your requests.](/product/ai-gateway/configs)

### Caveats and Considerations

While the request timeout is a powerful feature to help you gracefully handle unruly models & their latencies, there are a few things to consider:

1. Ensure that you are setting reasonable timeouts - for example, models like `gpt-4` often have sub-10-second response times
2. Ensure that you gracefully handle 408 errors for whenever a request does get timed out - you can inform the user to rerun their query and setup some neat interactions on your app
3. For streaming requests, the timeout will not be triggered if it gets **atleast a chunk** before the specified duration.


# Strict OpenAI Compliance
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/strict-open-ai-compliance



By default, all the responses sent back from Portkey are compliant with the [OpenAI specification](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create).

In some cases, a response from a provider like Perplexity may contain useful fields which do not have a corresponding 1:1 mapping to OpenAI fields.
To get those fields in the response, you can do one of the following:

* Python SDK: Pass this parameter `strict_open_ai_compliance=false` when initializing the portkey client
* Node SDK: Pass this parameter `strictOpenAiCompliance: false` when initializing the portkey client
* HTTP requests: Pass this header `x-portkey-strict-open-ai-compliance: false` with your request

<Note>
  By default strict\_open\_ai\_compliance=false in Portkey Python and Node SDK

# Universal API
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/universal-api

Portkey's Universal API provides a consistent interface to integrate a wide range of modalities (text, vision, audio) and LLMs (hosted OR local) into your apps.

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey plans.
</Info>

So, instead of maintaining separate integrations for different multimodal LLMs, you can interact with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Cohere, Mistral, and many more (100+ models, 15+ providers) - all using a common, unified API signature.

## Portkey Follows OpenAI Spec

Portkey API is powered by its [battle-tested open-source AI Gateway](https://github.com/portkey-ai/gateway), which converts all incoming requests to the OpenAI signature and returns OpenAI-compliant responses.

## Switching Providers is a Breeze

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Node">
    ```JS theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

    // Calling OpenAI
    const portkey = new Portkey({

      Authorization: "Bearer sk-xxxxx"
    })

    const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }],
      model: 'gpt-4',
    });

    // Swithing to Anthropic
    const portkey = new Portkey({

      model = 'claude-3-opus-20240229'
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Integrating Local or Private Models

Portkey can also route to and observe your locally or privately hosted LLMs, as long as the model is compliant with one of the 15+ providers supported by Portkey and the URL is exposed publicly.

Simply specify the `custom_host` parameter along with the `provider` name, and Portkey will handle the communication with your local model.

      }'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Info>
  **Note:**

  When using `custom_host`, include the version identifier (e.g., `/v1`) in the URL. Portkey will append the actual endpoint path (`/chat/completions`, `/completions`, or `/embeddings`) automatically. (For Ollama models, this works differently. [Check here](/integrations/llms/ollama))
</Info>

## Powerful Routing and Fallback Strategies

With Portkey you can implement sophisticated routing and fallback strategies. Route requests to different providers based on various criteria, loadbalance them, set up retries or fallbacks to alternative models in case of failures or resource constraints.

Here's an example config where we set up a fallback from OpenAI to a locally hosted Llama3 on Ollama:

```py theme={"system"}
config = {
	"strategy": { "mode": "loadbalance" },
	"targets": [
		{
			"provider": "openai",
			"api_key": "xxx",
			"weight": 1,
			"override_params": { "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo" }
		},
		{
			"provider": "mistral-ai",
			"custom_host": "http://MODEL_URL/v1/",
			"weight": 1,
			"override_params": { "model": "mixtral-8x22b" }
		}
	]
}

from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    config=config
)
```

## Using the  Anthropic's /messages Route

Access models on [Anthropic](/integrations/llms/anthropic), [Bedrock](/integrations/llms/bedrock) and [Vertex AI](/integrations/llms/vertex-ai) through Anthropic's native`/messages` endpoint using Portkey's SDK or Anthropic's SDK.

<Note>
  This route only works with Claude models on Anthropic, Bedrock and Vertex AI. For other models, use the standard OpenAI compliant endpoint.

# Virtual Keys
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys

Portkey's virtual key system allows you to securely store your LLM API keys in our vault, utilizing a unique virtual identifier to streamline API key management.

<Warning>
  <b> MIGRATION NOTICE </b>

  We are upgrading the Virtual Key experience with the <b>[Model Catalog](/support/upgrade-to-model-catalog)</b> feature.

  With Model Catalog, you can now:

  * Set model level budget & rate limits
  * Inherit budget & rate limits from parent AI provider integrations
  * Set granular, workspace-level access controls
  * Pass the provider slug (previosuly known as `virtual key`) with the model param in your LLM requests
</Warning>

<CardGroup>
  <Card icon="book" title="Upgrade to Model Catalog" href="/support/upgrade-to-model-catalog">Learn how to replace your virtual keys with Model Catalog</Card>
</CardGroup>

***

This feature also provides the following benefits:

* Easier key rotation
* The ability to generate multiple virtual keys for a single API key
* Imposition of restrictions [based on cost](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits), request volume, and user access

These can be managed within your account under the "Virtual Keys" tab.

## Creating Virtual Keys:

1. Navigate to the "Virtual Keys" page and click the "Add Key" button in the top right corner.
2. Select your AI provider, name your key uniquely, and note any usage specifics if needed.

<Info>
  **Tip:** You can register multiple keys for one provider or use different names for the same key for easy identification.
</Info>

### Azure Virtual Keys

Azure Virtual Keys allow you to manage multiple Azure deployments under a single virtual key. This feature simplifies API key management and enables flexible usage of different Azure OpenAI models.
You can create multiple deployments under the same resource group and manage them using a single virtual key.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

To use the required deployment, simply pass the `alias` of the deployment as the `model` in LLM request body. In case the models is left empty or the  specified alias does not exist, the default deployment is used.

## How are the provider API keys stored?

Your API keys are encrypted and stored in secure vaults, accessible only at the moment of a request. Decryption is performed exclusively in isolated workers and only when necessary, ensuring the highest level of data security.

## How are the provider keys linked to the virtual key?

We randomly generate virtual keys and link them separately to the securely stored keys. This means, your raw API keys can not be reverse engineered from the virtual keys.

## Using Virtual Keys

### Using the Portkey SDK

Add the virtual key directly to the initialization configuration for Portkey.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}

        model = 'gpt-3.5-turbo'
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Using alias with Azure virtual keys:

```js theme={"system"}
const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
    model: 'gpt-4o', // This will be the alias of the deployment
}, {provider:"@PROVIDER"});
```

### Self-Hosted LLM Virtual Keys

Portkey supports creating virtual keys for your privately hosted LLMs, allowing you to manage them alongside commercial providers.

1. When creating a new virtual key, enable the "Local/Privately hosted provider" toggle
2. Select the provider API specification your LLM implements (typically OpenAI)
3. Enter your model's base URL in the "Custom Host" field
4. Add any required authentication headers and their values

This allows you to use your self-hosted models with all Portkey features including observability, reliability, and access control.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

For more details, see [Bring Your Own LLM](/integrations/llms/byollm).

## Setting Budget Limits

Portkey provides a simple way to set budget limits for any of your virtual keys and helps you manage your spending on AI providers (and LLMs) - giving you confidence and control over your application's costs.

[Budget Limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)

## Prompt Templates

Choose your Virtual Key within Portkey’s prompt templates, and it will be automatically retrieved and ready for use.

## Langchain / LlamaIndex

Set the virtual key when utilizing Portkey's custom LLM as shown below:

```py theme={"system"}
# Example in Langchain
llm = PortkeyLLM(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",provider="@PROVIDER")
```

## Create an AWS Role for Portkey to Assume

This role you create will be used by Portkey to execute InvokeModel commands on Bedrock models in your AWS account. The setup process will establish a minimal-permission ("least privilege") role and set it up to allow Portkey to assume this role.

### Create a permission policy in your AWS account using the following JSON

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "BedrockConsole",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "bedrock:InvokeModel",
        "bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream"
        ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}
```

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Create a new IAM role

Choose *AWS account* as the trusted entity type. If you set an external ID be sure to copy it, we will need it later.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Add the above policy to the role

Search for the policy you created above and add it to the role.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Configure Trust Relationship for the role

Once the role is created, open the role and navigate to the *Trust relationships* tab and click *Edit trust policy*.
This is where you will add the Portkey AWS account as a trusted entity.

```sh Portkey Account ARN theme={"system"}
arn:aws:iam::299329113195:role/portkey-app
```

<Note>
  The above ARN only works for our [hosted app](https://app.portkey.ai/).<br />

  To enable **Assumed Role for AWS in your Portkey Enterprise deployment**, you can refer to [this guide](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/helm/blob/main/charts/portkey-gateway/docs/Bedrock.md). If you face any issue, please reach out to us at [support@portkey.ai](mailto:support@portkey.ai).
</Note>

Paste the following JSON into the trust policy editor and click *Update Trust Policy*.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::299329113195:role/portkey-app"
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
      "Condition": {}
}
]
}
```

If you set an external ID, add it to the condition as shown below.

```json theme={"system"}
  {
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
      {
        "Effect": "Allow",
        "Principal": {
          "AWS": "<Portkey Account ARN>"
        },
        "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
        "Condition": {
          "StringEquals": {
            "sts:ExternalId": "<your external ID>"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
}
```

## Configure the integration with the role ARN

Once the role is created, copy the role ARN and paste it into the Bedrock integrations modal in Portkey along with the external ID if you set one and the AWS region you are using.

You're all set! You can now use the providers inherited from your integration to invoke Bedrock models.


# Budget Limits
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits

Budget Limits lets you set cost limits on providers/integrations

Budget Limits lets you set cost or token limits on providers/integrations

<Info>
  Available on **Enterprise** plan and select **Pro** customers.
</Info>

<Tip>
  To apply budgets and rate limits at the workspace level (across keys), see [Enforce Workspace Budget and Rate Limits](/product/administration/enforce-workspace-budget-limts-and-rate-limits).
</Tip>

**Budget Limits on Providers** provide a simple way to manage your spending on AI providers (and LLMs) - giving you confidence and control over your application's costs.

Budget Limit is currently only available to **Portkey** [**Enterprise Plan**](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering) customers. Email us at `support@portkey.ai` if you would like to enable it for your org.

## Setting Budget Limits on Providers

When creating a new integration on Portkey, you can set limits in two ways:

### Cost-Based Limits

Set a budget limit in USD that, once reached, will automatically expire the key to prevent further usage and overspending.

### Token-Based Limits

Set a maximum number of tokens that can be consumed, allowing you to control usage independent of cost fluctuations.

And you can set both these limtis for each workspace.

> #### Key Considerations
>
> * Budget limits can be set as either cost-based (USD) or token-based
> * The minimum cost limit you can set is **\$1**
> * The minimum token limit you can set is **100 tokens**
> * Budget limits apply until exhausted or reset
> * Budget limits are applied only to requests made after the limit is set; they do not apply retroactively
> * Once set, budget limits **cannot be edited** by any organization member
> * Budget limit feature is available for **all LLMs** available on Portkey and will apply to **all members/workspaces** who have permission to use it.

## Alert Thresholds

You can now set alert thresholds to receive notifications before your budget limit is reached:

* For cost-based budgets, set thresholds in USD
* For token-based budgets, set thresholds in tokens
* Receive email notifications when usage reaches the threshold
* Continue using the key until the full budget limit is reached

## Periodic Reset Options

You can configure budget limits to automatically reset at regular intervals:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Reset Period Options

* **No Periodic Reset**: The budget limit applies until exhausted with no automatic renewal
* **Reset Weekly**: Budget limits automatically reset every week
* **Reset Monthly**: Budget limits automatically reset every month

### Reset Timing

* Weekly resets occur at the beginning of each week (Sunday at 12 AM UTC)
* Monthly resets occur on the **1st** calendar day of the month, at **12 AM UTC**, irrespective of when the budget limit was set prior

## Editing Budget Limits

If you need to change or update a budget limit, you can **duplicate** the existing provider and create a new one with the desired limit.

## Monitoring Your Spending and Usage

You can track your spending and token usage for any specific provider by navigating to the Analytics tab and filtering by the **desired provider** and **timeframe**.

## Pricing Support and Limitations

Budget limits currently apply to all providers and models for which Portkey has pricing support. If a specific request log shows `0 cents` in the COST column, it means that Portkey does not currently track pricing for that model, and it will not count towards the providers's budget limit.

For token-based budgets, Portkey tracks both input and output tokens across all supported models.

It's important to note that budget limits cannot be applied retrospectively. The spend counter starts from zero only after you've set a budget limit for a key.

## Availability

Budget Limits is currently available **exclusively to Portkey Enterprise** customers and select Pro users. If you're interested in enabling this feature for your account, please reach out to us at [support@portkey.ai](mailto:support@portkey.ai) or join the [Portkey Discord](https://portkey.ai/community) community.

# Rate Limits
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/rate-limits

Set Rate Limts to your Integrations/Providers

Rate Limits lets you set request or token consumption limits on providers/integrations

<Info>
  Available on **Enterprise** plan and select **Pro** customers.
</Info>

\*\*Rate Limits provide a powerful way to control the frequency of API requests or token consumption for your requests - giving you confidence and control over your application's usage patterns and performance.

Rate Limit is currently only available to **Portkey** [**Enterprise Plan**](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering) customers and select Pro users. Email us at `support@portkey.ai` if you would like to enable it for your org.

## Setting Rate Limits on Providers

When creating a new provider on Portkey, you can set rate limits in two ways:

### Request-Based Limits

Set a maximum number of requests that can be made within a specified time period (per minute, hour, or day).

### Token-Based Limits

Set a maximum number of tokens that can be consumed within a specified time period (per minute, hour, or day).

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

> #### Key Considerations
>
> * Rate limits can be set as either request-based or token-based
> * Time intervals can be configured as per minute, per hour, or per day
> * Setting the limit to 0 disables the provider
> * Rate limits apply immediately after being set
> * Once set, rate limits **cannot be edited** by any organization member
> * Rate limits work for **all providers** available on Portkey and apply to **all organization members** who use the provider
> * After a rate limit is reached, requests will be rejected until the time period resets

## Rate Limit Intervals

You can choose from three different time intervals for your rate limits:

* **Per Minute**: Limits reset every minute, ideal for fine-grained control
* **Per Hour**: Limits reset hourly, providing balanced usage control
* **Per Day**: Limits reset daily, suitable for broader usage patterns

## Exceeding Rate Limits

When a rate limit is reached:

* Subsequent requests are rejected with a specific error code
* Error messages clearly indicate that the rate limit has been exceeded
* The limit automatically resets after the specified time period has elapsed

## Editing Rate Limits

If you need to change or update a rate limit, you can **duplicate** the existing provider and create a new one with the desired limit.

## Monitoring Your Usage

You can track your request and token usage for any specific provider by navigating to the Analytics tab and filtering by the **desired provider** and **timeframe**.

## Use Cases for Rate Limits

* **Cost Control**: Prevent unexpected usage spikes that could lead to high costs
* **Performance Management**: Ensure your application maintains consistent performance
* **Fairness**: Distribute API access fairly across teams or users
* **Security**: Mitigate potential abuse or DoS attacks
* **Provider Compliance**: Stay within the rate limits imposed by underlying AI providers

## Availability

Rate Limits is currently available **exclusively to Portkey Enterprise** customers and select Pro users. If you're interested in enabling this feature for your account, please reach out to us at [support@portkey.ai](mailto:support@portkey.ai) or join the [Portkey Discord](https://portkey.ai/community) community.

# Org Management
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/org-management

A high-level introduction to Portkey's organization management structure and key concepts.

Portkey's organization management structure provides a hierarchical system for managing teams, resources, and access within your AI development environment. This structure is designed to offer flexibility and security for enterprises of various sizes.

The account hierarchy in Portkey is organized as follows:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

This hierarchy allows for efficient management of resources and access control across your organization. At the top level, you have your Account, which can contain one or more Organizations. Each Organization can have multiple Workspaces, providing a way to separate teams, projects, or departments within your company.

<Note>
  **Workspaces** is currently a feature only enabled on the **Enterprise Plans**. If you're looking to add this feature to your organisation, please reach out to us on our [Discord Community](https://portkey.ai/community) or via email on [support@portkey.ai](mailto:support@portkey.ai)
</Note>

Organizations contain User Invites & Users, Admin API Keys, and Workspaces. Workspaces, in turn, have their own Team structure (with Managers and Members), Workspace API Keys, and various features like Integrations, Model Catalog, Configs, Prompts, and more.

This structure enables you to:

* Maintain overall control at the Organization level
* Delegate responsibilities and access at the Workspace level
* Ensure data separation and project scoping
* Manage teams efficiently across different projects or departments

# API Keys (AuthN and AuthZ)
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/api-keys-authn-and-authz

Discover how Admin and Workspace API Keys are used to manage access and operations in Portkey.

## API Keys

Portkey uses two types of API keys to manage access to resources and operations: **Admin API Keys** and **Workspace API Keys**. These keys play crucial roles in authenticating and authorizing various operations within your [organization](/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/organizations) and [workspaces](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/admin/workspaces/create-workspace).

### Admin API Keys

Admin API Keys operate at the organization level and provide broad access across all workspaces within an organization.

Key features of Admin API Keys:

* Created and managed by organization owners and admins
* Provide access to organization-wide operations
* Can perform actions across all workspaces in the organization
* Used for administrative tasks and integrations that require broad access
* When making updates to entities, can specify a workspace\_id to target specific workspaces

Admin API Keys should be carefully managed and their use should be limited to necessary administrative operations due to their broad scope of access.

### Workspace API Keys

Workspace API Keys are scoped to a specific workspace and are used for operations within that workspace only.

Key features of Workspace API Keys:

* Two types: Service Account and User
  * Service Account: Used for automated processes and integrations
  * User: Associated with individual user accounts for personal access
* Scoped to a single workspace by default
* Can only execute actions within the workspace they belong to
* Used for most day-to-day operations and integrations within a workspace
* Completion APIs are always scoped by workspace and can only be accessed using Workspace API Keys
* Can be created and managed by workspace managers

Workspace API Keys provide a more granular level of access control, allowing you to manage permissions and resource usage at the project or team level.

## Using API Key Scopes

When creating or updating API keys, you can define specific permission scopes based on your security requirements:

Both types of API keys play important roles in Portkey's security model, enabling secure and efficient access to resources while maintaining proper separation of concerns between organization-wide administration and workspace-specific operations.

# JWT Authentication
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/jwt

Configure JWT-based authentication for your organization in Portkey

<Info>
  This feature is available only on the [Enterprise Plan](/product/enterprise-offering) of Portkey.
</Info>

Portkey supports JWT-based authentication in addition to API Key authentication. Clients can authenticate API requests using a JWT token, which is validated against a configured JWKS (JSON Web Key Set).

<Card href="/product/guardrails/list-of-guardrail-checks#basic-%E2%80%94-deterministic-guardrails" title="Validate JWT Token (Guardrail)">
  Validate your JWT Token before making a LLM request using Portkey.
</Card>

## Configuring JWT Authentication

JWT authentication can be configured under **Admin Settings** → **Organisation** → **Authentication**.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### JWKS Configuration

To validate JWTs, you must configure one of the following:

* **JWKS URL**: A URL from which the public keys will be dynamically fetched.
* **JWKS JSON**: A static JSON containing public keys.

## Hard Requirements (Read First)

### JWT Header (JOSE Header)

* `alg`: Must be `RS256`. Symmetric algorithms like `HS256` are not accepted.
* `typ`: Must be `JWT`.
* `kid`: Required. The value in the JWT header must match a `kid` in your JWKS.

### Key Requirements

* Key type: RSA
* Key size: 2048 bits or higher
* Your JWKS must expose only the public key parameters (e.g., `kty`, `n`, `e`, `use`, `alg`, `kid`). Do not include private key material.

## JWT Requirements

### Supported Algorithm

* JWTs must be signed using **RS256** (RSA Signature with SHA-256).

### Required Claims

Your JWT payload must contain the following claims:

| **Claim Key**                          | **Description**                                    |
| -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `portkey_oid` / `organisation_id`      | Unique identifier for the organization.            |
| `portkey_workspace` / `workspace_slug` | Identifier for the workspace.                      |
| `scope` / `scopes`                     | Permissions granted by the token.                  |
| `exp`                                  | Expiration time (as a UNIX timestamp, in seconds). |

* `exp` is mandatory. Tokens without `exp` or with expired `exp` are rejected.
* `iat` and/or `nbf` are recommended but optional.

### User Identification

Portkey identifies users in the following order of precedence for logging and metrics:

1. `email_id`
2. `sub`
3. `uid`

## End-to-End Working Example (Generate → Configure JWKS → Sign → Call)

The following example uses Node.js and the `jose` library to:

1. generate an RSA key pair,
2. create a JWKS containing the public key,
3. sign a JWT with the private key,
4. call Portkey with the JWT.

### 1) Prerequisites

```sh theme={"system"}
# Node 18+ recommended
npm init -y
npm install jose
```

### 2) Generate RSA Keys, Create JWKS, and Sign a JWT (NodeJS)

Create `generate-and-sign-jwt.mjs`:

```js theme={"system"}
import { generateKeyPair, exportJWK, SignJWT } from 'jose';
import { randomUUID } from 'node:crypto';
import fs from 'node:fs';

const { publicKey, privateKey } = await generateKeyPair('RS256');

// Create a public JWK for JWKS
const publicJwk = await exportJWK(publicKey);
publicJwk.kty = 'RSA';
publicJwk.use = 'sig';
publicJwk.alg = 'RS256';
publicJwk.kid = randomUUID();

const jwks = { keys: [publicJwk] };
fs.writeFileSync('jwks.json', JSON.stringify(jwks, null, 2));

const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);

// Sign a JWT with the private key
const jwt = await new SignJWT({
  portkey_oid: '<YOUR_ORG_ID>',
  portkey_workspace: '<YOUR_WORKSPACE_SLUG>',
  scope: ['completions.write', 'logs.view'],
  email_id: 'user@example.com',
  sub: '<YOUR_USER_ID>'
})
  .setProtectedHeader({ alg: 'RS256', kid: publicJwk.kid, typ: 'JWT' })
  .setIssuedAt(now)
  .setExpirationTime(now + 60 * 60) // 1 hour
  .sign(privateKey);

fs.writeFileSync('token.jwt', jwt);

console.log('JWKS written to jwks.json');
console.log('JWT written to token.jwt');
console.log('kid:', publicJwk.kid);
```

Run it:

```sh theme={"system"}
node generate-and-sign-jwt.mjs
```

This produces:

* `jwks.json`: A JWKS containing your public key (with a `kid`).
* `token.jwt`: A signed JWT ready to use with Portkey.

### 3) Add Your Public Key to Portkey (JWKS)

In the Portkey Admin UI:

* Navigate to **Admin Settings** → **Organisation** → **Authentication**.
* Choose either:
  * JWKS URL: Host `jwks.json` at a reachable HTTPS URL and paste that URL.
  * JWKS JSON: Paste the entire contents of your generated `jwks.json`.
* Save changes.

Ensure the `kid` in your JWT header matches a key in the configured JWKS.

### 4) Call Portkey Using the Signed JWT

Send the JWT in the `x-portkey-api-key` header.

```sh theme={"system"}
curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-portkey-api-key: $(cat token.jwt)" \
  -H "x-portkey-provider: @<YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG>" \
  -d '{
    "model": "your-model-id",
    "messages": [
      { "role": "user", "content": "Hello!" }
    ]
  }'
```

If your JWT, JWKS, and claims are correct, the request will authenticate and succeed.

<Note>
  If you prefer Python for signing, you can generate the RSA key pair using your preferred method, ensure the public key is present in your JWKS with a matching `kid`, and use a library like `PyJWT` to sign with `RS256` while setting the header `{ "alg": "RS256", "typ": "JWT", "kid": "<your-kid>" }`.
</Note>

## Authentication Process

1. The client sends an HTTP request with the JWT in the `x-portkey-api-key` header:

   ```http theme={"system"}
   x-portkey-api-key: <JWT_TOKEN>
   ```

2. The server validates the JWT:
   * Verifies the signature using the JWKS.
   * Checks if the token is expired.
   * Ensures the required claims are present.

3. If valid, the request is authenticated, and user details are extracted for authorization and logging.

4. If invalid, the request is rejected with an HTTP **401 Unauthorized** response.

## Authorization & Scopes

Once the JWT is validated, the server checks for the required **scope**. Scopes can be provided in the JWT as either a single string or an array of strings using the `scope` or `scopes` claim.

Scopes can also be prefixed with `portkey.` (e.g., `portkey.completions.write`).

<Note>
  JWT tokens with appropriate scopes function identically to workspace API keys, providing access to workspace-specific operations. They cannot be used as organization API keys, which have broader administrative permissions across all workspaces.
</Note>

#### Example JWT Header

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "alg": "RS256",
  "typ": "JWT",
  "kid": "<YOUR_KID>"
}
```

* This matches the signing example (`.setProtectedHeader({ alg: 'RS256', kid: publicJwk.kid, typ: 'JWT' })`).
* Ensure `kid` exactly matches one key in your configured JWKS.

## Example JWT Payload

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "portkey_oid": "3ed1b666-7e3d-416a-9260-da10e1610d1a",
  "portkey_workspace": "ws-shared-8622d1",

## Troubleshooting “Invalid API Key” Errors

* **Wrong algorithm**: Only `RS256` is accepted; `HS256` or others will fail.
* **Missing or mismatched `kid`**: Your JWT header must include a `kid` that matches a key in the JWKS.
* **Incorrect header usage**: Send the raw JWT in `x-portkey-api-key` without a `Bearer ` prefix.
* **Expired or missing `exp`**: The `exp` claim is required and must be in the future. Allow for small clock skew.
* **Private vs Public key mix-up**: Your JWKS must contain only the public key parameters. The private key is used only for signing; never paste it into the JWKS JSON.
* **Wrong org/workspace identifiers**: `portkey_oid` (or `organisation_id`) and `portkey_workspace` (or `workspace_slug`) must correspond to valid identifiers in your Portkey tenant.
* **Scopes missing for the API you call**: E.g., chat completions needs `completions.write`.
* **Unreachable JWKS URL**: If using a URL, it must be publicly reachable by Portkey. For static JSON, ensure the pasted JSON is valid and includes `keys: [...]`.

<Info>
  All Invalid JWT errors are logged in the Audit Logs.
  Sample error message:

  ```
  "jwtToken": "ey****bt",
  "error": "Error Verifying JWT token: Signing Key Not Found",
  ```
</Info>

## Caching & Token Revocation

* JWTs are cached until they expire to reduce validation overhead.
* If you rotate keys:
  * Publish the new public key in JWKS with a new `kid`.
  * Start issuing tokens signed by the new private key (with the new `kid`).
  * Old tokens will remain valid until their `exp` is reached.


# Organizations
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/organizations

Understand the role and features of Organizations, the highest level of abstraction in Portkey's structure.

Organizations in Portkey represent the highest level of abstraction within an account. They serve as containers for all users, entities, and workspaces (if the feature is enabled) associated with your company or project.

Key aspects of Organizations:

* **Comprehensive Scope:** An organization encompasses all the users and entities within it, providing a broad view of your entire operation.
* **Workspace Support:** Organizations can contain workspaces, which act as sub-organizations for more granular team management and project scoping.
* **Hierarchical Roles:** Organizations have owners and org admins who have access to all workspaces and can create and use admin keys.
* **Multi-Org Flexibility:** Portkey offers an org switcher, allowing users to switch between different organizations they have access to.
* **Security Features:** SSO (Single Sign-On) settings are applied at the organization level, enhancing security and user management.
* **Private Cloud Integration:** When deploying a gateway in a private cloud, the connection to the control panel is established at the organization level.

Organizations provide a robust framework for managing large-scale AI development projects, enabling efficient resource allocation, access control, and team management across your entire operation.


# SCIM Group Management
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/scim/group-management

Map SCIM groups to Portkey workspaces and roles without naming restrictions.

# SCIM Group Management

Portkey now supports flexible group-to-workspace mapping, allowing you to provision groups from your identity provider (Okta or Azure Entra) with any naming convention and then map them to Portkey workspaces and roles directly from the Portkey Control Plane.

***

## Overview

Previously, SCIM group provisioning required groups to follow a specific naming format (`ws-{group}-role-{role}`) to automatically map to Portkey workspaces. This restriction has been removed.

With the new group management feature, you can:

* **Provision groups with any name** from your identity provider
* **Map groups to workspaces** after provisioning
* **Assign roles** to all members of a group
* **Manage mappings** directly from Portkey Control Plane
* **Configure custom prefix and separator** for automatic group-to-workspace mapping (optional)

***

## Workflow

The group mapping process follows these steps:

1. **Provision the group** from your identity provider (Okta or Azure Entra)
2. **Map the group** to a Portkey workspace and assign a role from Portkey Control Plane
3. **Users are automatically assigned** to the workspace with the specified role when added to the group

<Warning>
  Groups must be provisioned from your identity provider **first** before they can be mapped in Portkey. You cannot map a group that hasn't been provisioned yet.
</Warning>

***

## Provisioning Groups from Identity Provider

Before mapping groups in Portkey, ensure the groups are provisioned from your identity provider.

### For Okta Users

1. Navigate to your Okta application settings
2. Go to the **Push Groups** tab
3. Push the groups you want to map to Portkey
4. Verify the groups appear in Portkey after provisioning

For detailed instructions, refer to the [Okta Group Provisioning](/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/scim/okta#group-provisioning-with-okta) section.

### For Azure Entra Users

1. Navigate to your Azure Entra application
2. Go to the **Provisioning** page
3. Ensure groups are assigned to the application
4. Verify the groups are provisioned to Portkey

For detailed instructions, refer to the [Azure Entra Group Provisioning](/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/scim/azure-ad#group-workspace-provisioning) section.

## Configuring Group Naming Format (Optional)

If you prefer automatic group-to-workspace mapping based on naming conventions, you can configure a custom prefix and separator to match your organization's group naming format.

### Default Format

By default, Portkey expects groups to follow this format:

* **Format:** `ws-{Workspace}-role-{admin,manager,member}`
* **Prefix:** `ws`
* **Role Separator:** `-role-`

**Example:**

* `ws-Sales-role-admin`
* `ws-Engineering-role-manager`
* `ws-Marketing-role-member`
* `ws-Complex Workspace-role-admin`

### Custom Configuration

You can configure your own prefix and separator to match your group naming conventions:

1. Navigate to **Admin Settings > Authentication Settings > SCIM Provisioning** in Portkey Control Plane
2. Find the **Pattern Based SCIM Grouping** section
3. Configure the following fields:
   * **Workspace Prefix**: The prefix used in your group names (e.g., `ws-`, `portkey-`, `org-`)
   * **Role Separator**: The character used to separate the role from the workspace (e.g., `-role-`, `_role_`, `.role.`)
4. Click **Save** to apply the configuration

<Info>
  The format will be: `{prefix}{Workspace}{role_separator}{admin,manager,member}`
  Once configured, groups matching this format will automatically map to workspaces with the specified role, without requiring manual mapping in the SCIM Mappings List.
</Info>

***

## Mapping Groups to Workspaces

Once groups are provisioned from your identity provider, you can map them to Portkey workspaces:

1. Navigate to **Admin Settings > Authentication Settings > SCIM Provisioning** in Portkey Control Plane
2. Find the **SCIM Mappings List** section
3. Click on the **Add New Mapping** button
4. Select the appropriate fields from the dropdowns:
   * **SCIM Group Name**: The name of the group from your identity provider
   * **Portkey Workspace**: The workspace to map the group to
   * **Role**: The role to assign to the group members
5. Click **Save** to complete the mapping

<Info>
  The role you select will be applied to **all members** added to the group. All users in the group will have the same role in the mapped workspace.
</Info>

***

### Supported Roles

| Role        | Description                                                                                            |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Admin**   | Full workspace access with management capabilities, including workspace settings and member management |
| **Manager** | Can manage workspace resources, view analytics, and manage members                                     |
| **Member**  | Standard workspace access with read and write permissions to workspace resources                       |

<Warning>
  A role must be selected when mapping a group. The mapping cannot be saved without selecting a role.
</Warning>

***

## Managing Group Mappings

### Viewing Existing Mappings

You can view all group-to-workspace mappings in the **SCIM Mappings List** section of SCIM Provisioning settings. Each mapping displays:

* Group name (from identity provider)
* Mapped workspace
* Assigned role

### Removing Mappings

To remove a group mapping:

1. Navigate to the **SCIM Mappings List** section
2. Find the group mapping you want to remove
3. Click on the **Delete** icon next to the mapping

<Warning>
  Removing a group mapping will not remove users from the workspace.
</Warning>

***

## Benefits

The new flexible group management feature provides several advantages:

* **No naming restrictions** - Use any group naming convention that fits your organization
* **Flexible mapping** - Map groups to workspaces after provisioning
* **Simplified management** - Manage all mappings from Portkey Control Plane
* **Role consistency** - All group members automatically receive the same role
* **Custom naming format** - Configure prefix and separator to match your existing group naming conventions for automatic mapping

SCIM integration with Portkey.

# SCIM Integration Guide

Portkey supports **SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management)** to automate user provisioning and deprovisioning.
This guide will walk you through integrating SCIM with your identity provider to manage users and workspaces seamlessly.

***

## What is SCIM?

SCIM is an open standard that allows organizations to automate the management of user identities and groups across applications. By integrating with SCIM, you can:

* Automatically provision and update user accounts.
* Deprovision users when they leave your organization.
* Sync user attributes and workspace memberships.

## SCIM Base URL

To integrate SCIM with our platform, get the SCIM Base URL from Portkey Control Plane.

`Admin Settings > Authentication Settings > SCIM Provisioning > SCIM URL`

## Authentication

We use **Bearer Token Authentication** for SCIM requests.

You need to generate an **API token** from Portkey Control Plane (\`\`Admin Settings > Authentication Settings > SCIM Provisioning\`) and use it as a bearer token in the SCIM requests.

You need to include the following header in the SCIM requests:

```
Authorization: Bearer <your-api-token>
```

## Supported Operations

Our SCIM implementation supports the following operations:

| Operation                        | Supported |
| -------------------------------- | --------- |
| User Provisioning                | ✅         |
| User Deprovisioning              | ✅         |
| User Updates                     | ✅         |
| Group (Workspace) Provisioning   | ✅         |
| Group (Workspace) Updates        | ✅         |
| Group (Workspace) Deprovisioning | ✅         |

## Required Configuration

Before integrating SCIM, ensure you have the following details:

* **SCIM Base URL**: Provided above.
* **Bearer Token**: Generate this token from our platform’s **API Settings** section.

You will need to provide these details in your identity provider's SCIM configuration section.

## Identity Provider Setup

Follow your identity provider's documentation to set up SCIM integration. Below are the key fields you’ll need to configure:

| Field         | Value              |
| ------------- | ------------------ |
| SCIM Base URL | `<SCIM Base URL>`  |
| Bearer Token  | `<your-api-token>` |

Currently, we support SCIM provisioning for the following identity providers:

* [Azure AD](./azure-ad)
* [Okta](./okta)

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

* **Invalid Token**: Ensure the bearer token is correctly generated and included in the request header.
* **403 Forbidden**: Check if the provided SCIM Base URL and token are correct.
* **User Not Provisioned**: Ensure the user attributes meet our platform's requirements.

# User Roles & Permissions
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/user-roles-and-permissions

Learn about Portkey's comprehensive role-based access control system across Organizations and Workspaces.

Portkey implements a comprehensive role-based access control (RBAC) system that operates across two main hierarchical levels: **Organizations** and **Workspaces**. This dual-layer approach ensures precise control over who can access what resources, enhancing security while enabling effective team collaboration.

## Organization Level

Organizations represent the highest level of structure within Portkey. At this level, there are three distinct roles with varying levels of administrative control:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Owner" icon="crown">
    The highest authority with complete control of the organization
  </Card>

  <Card title="Admin" icon="user-shield">
    Extensive administrative privileges across the organization
  </Card>

  <Card title="Member" icon="user">
    Base-level organization access, typically assigned to workspace roles
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Organization Role Permissions

| Capability                   |             Owner            |             Admin            | Member (without workspace) |
| ---------------------------- | :--------------------------: | :--------------------------: | :------------------------: |
| Billing Management           | <Icon icon="square-check" /> |     <Icon icon="xmark" />    |    <Icon icon="xmark" />   |

| Access to All Workspaces     | <Icon icon="square-check" /> | <Icon icon="square-check" /> |    <Icon icon="xmark" />   |

<Note>
  **Important**: Organization Owners and Admins automatically receive Admin-level access to all workspaces within the organization. All users must first be added as Organization Members before they can be invited to any workspace.
</Note>

## Workspace Level

Workspaces are sub-organizational units that enable better team and project management. Each workspace maintains its own access control structure with three distinct roles:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Admin" icon="user-tie">
    Complete control over workspace configuration and team management
  </Card>

  <Card title="Manager" icon="user-gear">
    Administrative capabilities for team and resource management
  </Card>

  <Card title="Member" icon="user">
    Read-only access to workspace resources
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Workspace Role Permissions

| Capability                               |             Admin            |            Manager           |            Member            |
| ---------------------------------------- | :--------------------------: | :--------------------------: | :--------------------------: |
| Invite Organization Members to Workspace | <Icon icon="square-check" /> | <Icon icon="square-check" /> |     <Icon icon="xmark" />    |
| Assign Workspace Roles (including Admin) | <Icon icon="square-check" /> | <Icon icon="square-check" /> |     <Icon icon="xmark" />    |

| Create/Update/Delete Resources           | <Icon icon="square-check" /> | <Icon icon="square-check" /> |     <Icon icon="xmark" />    |
| View Workspace Resources                 | <Icon icon="square-check" /> | <Icon icon="square-check" /> | <Icon icon="square-check" /> |

<Note>
  **Member Access**: Workspace Members have read-only access to workspace resources (logs, prompts, config, providers, models etc.) but cannot create, update, or delete any resources.
</Note>

## Access Permission Configuration

Organization Owners and Admins can configure access permissions for various resources across workspaces. These settings determine what each role can access:

<Note>
  By default Workspace Admins and Managers have the same permissions unless changed by Organization Owner or Admin.
</Note>

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Logs Access Permissions" icon="clipboard-list" href="/product/administration/configure-logs-access-permissions-in-workspace">
    Control which roles can view, filter, and export logs
  </Card>

  <Card title="Providers Access Permissions" icon="key" href="/product/administration/configure-virtual-key-access-permissions">
    Manage access to LLM providers for different roles
  </Card>

  <Card title="API Key Permissions" icon="key-skeleton" href="/product/administration/configure-api-key-access-permissions">
    Configure API key creation and management rights
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  **Key Workflow**: Users must first be added as organization members before they can be invited to any workspace. Workspace admins and managers can then invite organization members to their workspace and assign appropriate roles.
</Note>

# Workspaces
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/workspaces

Explore Workspaces, the sub-organizational units that enable granular project and team management.

## Workspaces

Workspaces in Portkey are sub-organizations that enable better separation of data, teams, scope, and visibility within your larger organization.

They provide a more granular level of control and organization, allowing you to structure your projects and teams efficiently.

Key features of Workspaces:

* **Team Management:** You can add team members to workspaces with specific roles (manager or member), allowing for precise access control.
* **Dedicated API Keys:** Workspaces contain their own API keys, which can be of two types:
  * Service Account type: For automated processes and integrations
  * User type: For individual user access
  * Both these types of keys are scoped to the workspace by default and can only execute actions within that workspace.
* **Completion API Scoping:** Completion APIs are always scoped by workspace and can only be accessed using workspace API keys.
* **Admin Control:** While only org admins can create workspaces, managers can add API keys and team members with roles to existing workspaces.
* **Flexible Updates:** When making updates to entities via admin keys (at the org level), you can specify the `workspace_id` to target specific workspaces.

Workspaces provide a powerful way to organize your projects, teams, and resources within your larger organization, ensuring proper access control and data separation.

```mermaid theme={"system"}
graph TD
    A[Workspace] --> B[Team]
    B --> C[Managers]
    B --> D[Members]
    A --> E[Workspace API Keys]
    E --> F[Service Account Type]
    E --> G[User Type]

    H --> J[Prompts]
    H --> K[Providers]
    H --> L[Configs]
    H --> M[Guardrails]
    H --> N[Other Features]
```

This structure allows for efficient management of resources and access within each workspace, providing a clear separation between different projects or teams within your organization.

### Deleting a Workspace

<Note>
  * Before deleting a workspace, all resources within it must be removed.
  * You can't delete the default Shared Team Workspace.
</Note>

To delete a workspace in Portkey, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the sidebar in the Portkey app
2. Open the workspace menu dropdown
3. Select the workspace you wish to delete
4. Click on the delete option (trash icon) next to the workspace name

When attempting to delete a workspace, you'll receive a confirmation dialog. If the workspace still contains resources, you'll see a warning message prompting you to delete these resources first.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Resources that must be deleted before removing a workspace like - Prompts, Prompt partials, Providers, Configs, Guardrails and more.

Once all resources have been removed, enter the workspace name in the confirmation field to proceed with deletion.

<Warning>
  Workspace deletion is permanent and cannot be undone
</Warning>

Alternatively you can also delete workspaces using the Admin API:

<Card title="Delete a Workspace API" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/workspaces/delete-a-workspace" />

# Guardrails
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/guardrails

Ship to production confidently with Portkey Guardrails on your requests & responses

<Info>
  This feature is available on all plans.

  * **Developer**: Access to `BASIC` Guardrails
  * **Production**: Access to `BASIC`, `PARTNER`, `PRO` Guardrails.
  * **Enterprise**: Access to **all** Guardrails plus `custom` Guardrails.
</Info>

LLMs are brittle - not just in API uptimes or their inexplicable `400`/`500` errors, but also in their core behavior. You can get a response with a `200` status code that completely errors out for your app's pipeline due to mismatched output. With Portkey's Guardrails, we now help you enforce LLM behavior in real-time with our *Guardrails on the Gateway* pattern.

Use Portkey's Guardrails to verify your LLM inputs AND outputs, adhering to your specifed checks. Since Guardrails are built on top of our [Gateway](https://github.com/portkey-ai/gateway), you can orchestrate your request - with actions ranging from *denying the request*, *logging the guardrail result*, *creating an evals dataset*, *falling back to another LLM or prompt*, *retrying the request*, and more.

#### Examples of Guardrails Portkey offers:

* **Regex match** - Check if the request or response text matches a regex pattern
* **JSON Schema** - Check if the response JSON matches a JSON schema
* **Contains Code** - Checks if the content contains code of format SQL, Python, TypeScript, etc.
* **Custom guardrail** - If you are running a custom guardrail currently, you can also integrate it with Portkey
* ...and many more.

Portkey currently offers 20+ deterministic guardrails like the ones described above as well as LLM-based guardrails like `Detect Gibberish`, `Scan for prompt injection`, and more. These guardrails serve as protective barriers that help mitigate risks associated with Gen AI, ensuring its responsible and ethical deployment within organizations.

<Card title="List of supported Guardrail checks here" href="/product/guardrails/list-of-guardrail-checks" />

<Info>
  Portkey also integrates with your favourite Guardrail platforms like [Aporia](https://www.aporia.com/), [SydeLabs](https://sydelabs.ai/), [Pillar Security](https://www.pillar.security/) and more. Just add their API keys to Portkey and you can enable their guardrails policies on your Portkey calls! [More details on Guardrail Partners here.](/product/guardrails/list-of-guardrail-checks)
</Info>

***

## Using Guardrails

Putting Portkey Guardrails in production is just a 4-step process:

1. Create Guardrail Checks
2. Create Guardrail Actions
3. Enable Guardrail through Configs
4. Attach the Config to a Request

This flowchart shows how Portkey processes a Guardrails request:

<img />

Let's see in detail below:

<Note>
  Portkey only evaluates the last message in the request body when running guardrails checks.
</Note>

***

## 1. Create a New Guardrail & Add Checks

On the `Guardrails` page, click on `Create` and add your preferred Guardrail checks from the right sidebar.

<Info>
  On Portkey, you can configure Guardrails to be run on either the `INPUT` (i.e. `PROMPT`) or the `OUTPUT`. Hence, for the Guardrail you create, make sure your Guardrail is only validating **ONLY ONE OF** the **Input** or the **Output**.
</Info>

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Each Guardrail Check has a custom input field based on its usecase — just add the relevant details to the form and save your check.

<Info>
  * You can add as many checks as you want to a single Guardrail.
  * A check ONLY returns a boolean (`Yes`/`No`) verdict.
</Info>

<Card title="List of Guardrail checks" href="/product/guardrails/list-of-guardrail-checks" />

***

## 2. Add Guardrail Actions

Define a basic orchestration logic for your Guardrail here.

<Info>
  Guardrail is created to validate **ONLY ONE OF** the `Input` or the `Output`. The Actions set here will also apply only to either the `request` or the `response`.
</Info>

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### There are 6 Types of Guardrail Actions

| Action         | State                                   | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          | Impact                                                                                                                                                                                      |

| **Deny**       | **TRUE**                                | **On Request & Response** If any of the Guardrail checks **FAIL**, the request will be killed with a **446** status code. If all of the Guardrail checks **SUCCEED**, the request/response will be sent further with a **200** status code.          | This is useful when your Guardrails are critical and upon them failing, you can not run the requestWe would advice running this action on a subset of your requests to first see the impact |
| **Deny**       | **FALSE** This is the **default** state | **On Request & Response** If any of the Guardrail checks **FAIL**, the request will STILL be sent, but with a **246** status code.

| **On Success** | **Send Feedback**                       | If **all of the** Guardrail checks **PASS**, append your custom defined feedback to the request                                                                                                                                                      | We recommend setting up this actionThis will help you build an "Evals dataset" of Guardrail results on your requests over time                                                              |
| **On Failure** | **Send Feedback**                       | If **any of the** Guardrail checks **FAIL**, append your custom feedback to the request                                                                                                                                                              | We recommend setting up this actionThis will help you build an "Evals dataset" of Guardrail results on your requests over time                                                              |

Set the relevant actions you want with your checks, name your Guardrail and save it! When you save the Guardrail, you will get an associated `$Guardrail_ID` that you can then add to your request.

***

## 3. "Enable" the Guardrails through Configs

This is where Portkey's magic comes into play. The Guardrail you created above is yet not an `Active` guardrail because it is not attached to any request.

Configs is one of Portkey's most powerful features and is used to define all kinds of request orchestration - everything from caching, retries, fallbacks, timeouts, to load balancing.

<Info>
  Now, you can use Configs to add **Guardrail checks** & **actions** to your request.
</Info>

### Option 1: Direct Guardrail Configuration (Recommended)

Portkey now offers a more intuitive way to add guardrails to your configurations:

| Config Key             | Value                                        | Description                                                   |
| :--------------------- | :------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **input\_guardrails**  | `["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"]` | Apply these guardrails to the **INPUT** before sending to LLM |
| **output\_guardrails** | `["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"]` | Apply these guardrails to the **OUTPUT** from the LLM         |

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3
  },
  "cache": {
    "mode": "simple"
  },
  "provider":"@openai-xxx",
  "input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"],
  "output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"]
}
```

### Option 2: Hook-Based Configuration (For Creating [Raw Guardrails](/product/guardrails/creating-raw-guardrails-in-json))

You can also continue to use the original hook-based approach:

| Type                | Config Key                 | Value                      | Description                                                    |
| :------------------ | :------------------------- | :------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Before Request Hook | **before\_request\_hooks** | `[{"id":"$guardrail_id"}]` | These hooks run on the **INPUT** before sending to the LLM     |
| After Request Hook  | **after\_request\_hooks**  | `[{"id":"$guardrail_id"}]` | These hooks run on the **OUTPUT** after receiving from the LLM |

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3
  },
  "cache": {
    "mode": "simple"
  },
  "provider":"@openai-xxx",
  "before_request_hooks": [{
    "id": "input-guardrail-id-xx"
  }],
  "after_request_hooks": [{
    "id": "output-guardrail-id-xx"
  }]
}
```

<Note>
  Both configuration approaches work identically - choose whichever is more intuitive for your team. The simplified `input_guardrails` and `output_guardrails` fields are recommended for better readability.
</Note>

### Guardrail Behaviour on the Gateway

For **asynchronous** guardrails (`async= TRUE`), Portkey returns the standard, default status codes from the LLM providers — this is because the Guardrails verdict is not affecting how you orchestrate your requests. Portkey will only log the Guardrail result for you.

But for **synchronous** requests (`async= FALSE`), Portkey can orchestrate your requests based on the Guardrail verdict. The behaviour is dependent on the following:

* Guardrail Check Verdict (`PASS` or `FAIL`) AND
* Guardrail Action — DENY Setting (`TRUE` or `FALSE`)

Portkey sends different `request status codes` corresponding to your set Guardrail behaviour.

For requests where `async= FALSE`:

| Guardrail Verdict | DENY Setting | Returned Status Code | Description                                                                                                                                  |
| :---------------- | :----------- | :------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PASS**          | **FALSE**    | **200**              | Guardrails have **passed**, request will be processed regardless                                                                             |
| **PASS**          | **TRUE**     | **200**              | Guardrails have **passed**, request will be processed regardless                                                                             |
| **FAIL**          | **FALSE**    | **246**              | Guardrails have **failed**, but the request should still \*\*be processed.\*\*Portkey introduces a new Status code to indicate this state.   |
| **FAIL**          | **TRUE**     | **446**              | Guardrails have **failed**, and the request should **not** \*\*be processed.\*\*Portkey introduces a new Status code to indicate this state. |

### Example Config Using the New `246` & `446` Status Codes

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Fallback to Another Model on Guardrail Fail">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "strategy": {
        "mode": "fallback",
        "on_status_codes": [246, 446]
      },
      "targets": [
        {"provider":"@openai-key-xxx"},
        {"provider":"@anthropic-key-xxx"}
      ],
      "input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx"]
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Retry on Guardrail Fail (Simplified)">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "retry": {
        "on_status_codes": [246],
        "attempts": 5
      },
      "output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx"]
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Create these Configs in Portkey UI, save them, and get an associated Config ID to attach to your requests. [More here](/product/ai-gateway/configs).

## 4. Final Step - Attach Config to Request

Now, while instantiating your Portkey client or while sending headers, just pass the Config ID.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Node theme={"system"}
  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      config: "pc-***" // Supports a string config id or a config object
  });
  ```

  ```py Python theme={"system"}
  portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      config="pc-***" # Supports a string config id or a config object
  )
  ```

  ```js OpenAI Node theme={"system"}
  const openai = new OpenAI({
    apiKey: 'OPENAI_API_KEY',
    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      config: "CONFIG_ID"
    })
  });
  ```

  ```py OpenAI Python theme={"system"}
  client = OpenAI(
      api_key="OPENAI_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY")
      base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
      default_headers=createHeaders(
          provider="openai",
          api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
          config="CONFIG_ID"
      )
  )
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -H "x-portkey-config: $CONFIG_ID" \
    -d '{
      "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
      "messages": [{
          "role": "user",
          "content": "Hello!"
        }]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Viewing Guardrail Results in Portkey Logs

Portkey Logs will show you detailed information about Guardrail results for each request.

### On the `Feedback & Guardrails` tab on the log drawer, you can see

#### Guardrail Details

* **Overview**: How many checks `passed` and how many `failed`
* **Verdict**: Guardrail verdict for each of the checks in your Guardrail
* **Latency**: Round trip time for each check in your Guardrail

#### Feedback Details

Portkey will also show the feedback object logged for each request

* `Value`:\*\* The numerical feedback value you passed
* `Weight`: The numerical feedback weight
* `Metadata Key & Value`:\*\* Any custom metadata sent with the feedback
* `successfulChecks`: Which checks associated with this request `passed`
* `failedChecks`: Which checks associated with this request `failed`
* `erroredChecks`: If there were any checks that errored out along the way

## Understanding Guardrail Response Structure

When Guardrails are enabled and configured to run synchronously (`async=false`), Portkey adds a `hook_results` object to your API responses. This object provides detailed information about the guardrail checks that were performed and their outcomes.

### Hook Results Structure

The `hook_results` object contains two main sections:

```json theme={"system"}
"hook_results": {
  "before_request_hooks": [...],  // Guardrails applied to the input
  "after_request_hooks": [...]    // Guardrails applied to the output
}
```

Each section contains an array of guardrail execution results, structured as follows:

<Expandable title="Hook Result Object Structure">
  <ResponseField name="verdict" type="boolean">
    Overall verdict of this guardrail (true = passed, false = failed). Only true if all checks within this guardrail passed.
  </ResponseField>

  <ResponseField name="id" type="string">
    The ID of the guardrail that was executed (e.g., "pg-check-cfa540")
  </ResponseField>

  <ResponseField name="transformed" type="boolean">
    Indicates if the guardrail modified the request or response (e.g., PII redaction)
  </ResponseField>

  <ResponseField name="checks" type="array">
    An array of individual check results within this guardrail

    <Expandable title="Check Object Structure">
      <ResponseField name="data" type="object">
        Check-specific data that varies based on the guardrail type (e.g., for wordCount it includes counts and thresholds)
      </ResponseField>

      <ResponseField name="verdict" type="boolean">
        Result of this specific check (true = passed, false = failed)
      </ResponseField>

      <ResponseField name="id" type="string">
        Identifier of the specific check (e.g., "default.sentenceCount", "default.wordCount")
      </ResponseField>

      <ResponseField name="execution_time" type="number">
        Time taken to execute this check in milliseconds
      </ResponseField>

      <ResponseField name="transformed" type="boolean">
        Whether this check modified the content
      </ResponseField>

      <ResponseField name="created_at" type="string">
        Timestamp when the check was executed
      </ResponseField>

      <ResponseField name="log" type="string|null">
        Additional logging information (if available)
      </ResponseField>

      <ResponseField name="error" type="string|object">
        Error message or object if the guardrail encountered an error
      </ResponseField>
    </Expandable>
  </ResponseField>

  <ResponseField name="feedback" type="object">
    Feedback information configured in the guardrail

    <Expandable title="Feedback Object Structure">

      </ResponseField>

      <ResponseField name="weight" type="number">
        The weight assigned to this feedback
      </ResponseField>

      <ResponseField name="metadata" type="object">
        Additional metadata including which checks succeeded or failed

        <ResponseField name="successfulChecks" type="string">

        </ResponseField>

        <ResponseField name="failedChecks" type="string">
          Comma-separated list of checks that failed
        </ResponseField>

        <ResponseField name="erroredChecks" type="string">

</Expandable>

### Example Hook Results

#### Non-Streaming Responses

Here's a simplified example of what the `hook_results` might look like in a non-streaming response:

                    "failedChecks": "",
                    "erroredChecks": ""
                }
            },
            "execution_time": 0,
            "async": false,
            "type": "guardrail",
            "created_at": "2025-05-20T08:01:02.229Z",
            "deny": false
        }
    ]
}
}
```

This example corresponds to a `config` like:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "input_guardrails": [
    "sentence_and_word_check_guardrail",  // Contains sentenceCount and wordCount checks
    "characer_check_guardrail"  // Contains characterCount check
  ],
  "output_guardrails": [
    "sentence_and_word_check_guardrail"   // The same guardrail can be used for both input and output
  ]
}
```

#### Streaming Responses

<Note>
  Portkey now supports hook results in streaming responses for `/chat/completions`, `/completions`, `/embeddings`, and `/messages` endpoints. This allows you to stop streaming or show redacted content if a request violates your guardrail policies, enabling clients to respect content policy guidelines in real-time.
</Note>

To receive hook results in streaming responses, you must set the `x-portkey-strict-open-ai-compliance` header to `false`.

```

<Note>
  For the `/messages` endpoint (Anthropic), it is not possible to access hook results through the Anthropic SDK because the SDK only parses Anthropic-specific events. Use cURL or raw HTTP requests to access hook results for this endpoint.
</Note>

**Accessing Hook Results in SDKs**

When using Portkey or OpenAI SDKs with streaming enabled (`stream=True`), the hook results are available in the `.model_extra.hook_results` parameter of the response chunks. This applies to:

* `.chat.completions.create()` with `stream=True`
* `.completions.create()` with `stream=True`
* `.embeddings.create()` with `stream=True`

### Important Notes

* If a guardrail is configured to run asynchronously (`async=true`), the `hook_results` will not appear in the API response. The results will only be available in the Portkey logs.
* The `data` field varies based on the type of guardrail check being performed. Each guardrail type returns different information relevant to its function.
* The overall `verdict` for a guardrail is `true` only if all individual checks pass. If any check fails, the verdict will be `false`.
* When `transformed` is `true`, it indicates that the guardrail has modified the content (such as redacting PII).
* If `deny` is `true` and the verdict is `false`, the request will be denied with a 446 status code.

### Special Fields

* **Check-specific data**: Each guardrail type provides different data in the `data` field. For example, a sentence count check provides information about the number of sentences, while a PII check might provide information about detected PII entities.
* **Feedback metadata**: The `metadata` object within `feedback` keeps track of which checks were successful, failed, or encountered errors.

## Defining Guardrails Directly in JSON

On Portkey, you can also create the Guardrails in code and add them to your Configs. Read more about this here:

<Card title="Creating Raw Guardrails (in JSON" href="/product/guardrails/creating-raw-guardrails-in-json" />

***

## Bring Your Own Guardrails

If you already have a custom guardrail pipeline where you send your inputs/outputs for evaluation, you can integrate it with Portkey using a modular, custom webhook! Read more here:

<Card title="Bring Your Own Guardrails" href="/integrations/guardrails/bring-your-own-guardrails" />

## Examples of When to Deny Requests with Guardrails

1. **Prompt Injection Checks**: Preventing inputs that could alter the behavior of the AI model or manipulate its responses.
2. **Moderation Checks**: Ensuring responses do not contain offensive, harmful, or inappropriate content.
3. **Compliance Checks**: Verifying that inputs and outputs comply with regulatory requirements or organizational policies.
4. **Security Checks**: Blocking requests that contain potentially harmful content, such as SQL injection attempts or cross-site scripting (XSS) payloads.

By appropriately configuring Guardrail Actions, you can maintain the integrity and reliability of your AI app, ensuring that only safe and compliant requests are processed.

# Creating Raw Guardrails (in JSON)
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/guardrails/creating-raw-guardrails-in-json

With the raw Guardrails mode, we let you define your Guardrail checks & actions however you want, directly in code.

At Portkey, we believe in helping you make your workflows [as modular as possible](https://portkey.ai/blog/what-it-means-to-go-to-prod/).
This is useful when:

* You want the same Guardrail checks but want to take different basic actions on them
* Your Guardrail checks definitions are dependent on an upstream task and are updated in code
* You want greater control over how you want to handle Guardrails

With the Raw Guardrails mode, you can achieve all this.

### Example of a Raw Guardrail

```JSON theme={"system"}
"before_request_hooks": [{
    "type": "guardrail",
    "id": "my_solid_guardrail",
    "checks": [{
      "id": "default.regexMatch",
      "parameters": {
        "regex": "test"
      }
    }]
}]
```

In this example:

* `type`: Specifies the type of hook, which is `guardrail`.
* `name`: Gives a name to the guardrail for identification.
* `checks`: Lists the checks that make up the guardrail. Each check includes an `id` and `parameters` for the specific conditions to validate.

### Configuring Guardrail Actions

```JSON theme={"system"}
"before_request_hooks": [{
    "type": "guardrail",
    "id": "my_solid_guardrail",
    "checks": [{
      "id": "default.regexMatch",
      "parameters": {
        "regex": "test"
      }
    }],
    "deny": false,
    "async": false,
    "on_success": {
        "feedback": {"value": 1,"weight": 1}
    },
    "on_fail": {
        "feedback": {"value": -1,"weight": 1}
     }
}]
```

In this example,

* `deny`: Is set to `TRUE` or `FALSE`
* `async`: Is set to `TRUE` or `FALSE`
* `on_success`: Used to pass custom `feedback`
* `on_failure`: Used to pass custom `feedback`


# Guardrails for Embedding Requests
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/guardrails/embedding-guardrails

Apply security and data validation measures to vector embedding requests to protect sensitive information and ensure data quality.

Portkey's guardrails aren't limited to chat completions - they can also be applied to embedding requests. This means you can protect your embedding workflows with the same robust security measures you use for your other LLM interactions.

## Why Use Guardrails for Embeddings?

Vector embeddings form the backbone of modern AI applications, transforming text into numerical representations that power semantic search, recommendation systems, and RAG pipelines. However, unprotected embedding workflows create significant business risks that technical leaders cannot ignore.

Without proper guardrails, sensitive customer data can leak into vector databases, toxic content can contaminate downstream systems, and resources are wasted embedding low-quality inputs. Protecting these workflows is essential because:

1. **Data leakage prevention**: Stop PII, PHI, or sensitive information from being sent to embedding models
2. **Data quality control**: Ensure only clean, formatted data gets embedded
3. **Cost optimization**: Avoid unnecessary API calls for data that doesn't meet your criteria
4. **Compliance**: Maintain regulatory compliance by filtering problematic content

By implementing guardrails at the embedding stage, you create a critical safety layer that protects your entire AI pipeline. For technical teams already building with embeddings, Portkey's guardrails integrate seamlessly with existing workflows while providing the security measures that enterprise applications demand.

## How It Works

Guardrails for embeddings are applied at the "before request" stage, examining your text before it's sent to the embedding model:

```mermaid theme={"system"}
flowchart LR
    App[Your Application] --> Portkey[Portkey Gateway]
    Portkey --> Guardrails[Guardrail Checks]

    Guardrails -->|Pass| Success[/Success\nStatus: 240/]
    Guardrails -->|Fail + Deny=false| Warning[/Warning\nStatus: 446/]
    Guardrails -->|Fail + Deny=true| Blocked[/Blocked\nStatus: 446/]


    Success --> LLM[LLM Provider]
    Warning --> LLM


    class Success success
    class Warning warning
    class Blocked danger
```

1. Your application sends text to Portkey for embedding
2. Portkey's guardrails analyze the text before sending to the LLM provider
3. If the text passes all checks, it's sent to the embedding model
4. If it fails, the configured [guardrail action](/product/guardrails) is taken (deny, feedback, etc.)

## Setting Up Embedding Guardrails

### 1. Create a Guardrail

Follow the standard process to create a guardrail in Portkey:

* Navigate to the `Guardrails` page and click `Create`
* Select the appropriate check from available guardrails (e.g., PII Detection, Regex Match)
* Configure the check parameters & set desired actions for failed checks
* Save the guardrail to get its ID

<Note>
  Make sure to select guardrails that support the `beforeRequestHook` since embeddings only use pre-request validation.
</Note>

### 2. Add the Guardrail to Your Config

Add your guardrail ID to the `before_request_hooks` in your Portkey [config](/product/ai-gateway/configs):

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "input_guardrails": ["gr-xxx", "gr-yyy", ...]
}
```

### 3. Use the Config with Embedding Requests

## Common Use Cases

* **Protecting Against PII in Embeddings**: When building search systems or RAG applications, you need to ensure no personally identifiable information is inadvertently embedded:

* **Filtering Code from Document Embeddings**: If you're building a knowledge base that shouldn't include code snippets:

* **Size-Based Filtering**: Ensure only appropriately sized documents get embedded:

* **Custom Regex Filtering**: Create domain-specific filters using regex patterns:

## Monitoring and Logs

All guardrail actions on embedding requests are logged in the Portkey dashboard, just like other guardrail activities. You can:

* See which embedding requests were blocked
* View detected issues (PII, regex matches, etc.)
* Track guardrail performance over time
* Export logs for compliance reporting

# PII Redaction
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/guardrails/pii-redaction

Replace any sensitive data in requests with standard identifiers

Advanced PII Redaction feature automatically detects and redacts sensitive information from requests before they reach the LLM. This feature works seamlessly with our entire guardrails ecosystem, providing an additional layer of security for your AI interactions.

## Enabling PII Redaction

On the Guardrail creation page, for select PII guardrails, you will see a **Redact PII** toggle. Just enable it to start redacting PII in your requests.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## Guardrails Support

PII redaction is supported across 5 guardrail providers:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Portkey Pro PII">
    Redact `Phone number`, `Email addresses`, `Location information`, `IP addresses`, `Social Security Numbers (SSN)`, `Names`, `Credit card information` from requests
  </Card>

  <Card title="Patronus AI" href="/product/guardrails/patronus-ai">
    Based on Patronus's EnterprisePII dataset, this guardrail can detect and redact confidential information typically found in business documents like meeting notes, commercial contracts, marketing emails, performance reviews, and more
  </Card>

  <Card title="Pangea" href="/integrations/guardrails/pangea">
    Pangea's redact feature can redact PII like geographic locations, payment card industry (PCI) data, and many other types of sensitive information, with support for rule customization
  </Card>

  <Card title="AWS Bedrock Guardrails">
    You can select from a list of predefined PII or define a custom sensitive-information type using regular expressions (RegEx) and redact PII.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Promptfoo">
    Promptfoo helps detect multiple PII exposures - in session data, via social engineering, or a direct exposure.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Custom PII Redaction with Regex

For more granular control over PII redaction, you can create custom patterns using Portkey's **Regex Match** guardrail with redaction capabilities. This allows you to define specific patterns for sensitive information unique to your use case.

### Setting Up Custom PII Patterns

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

1. **Navigate to Guardrails**: Go to the `Guardrails` page and click `Create`

2. **Select Regex Match**: Choose the "Regex Match" guardrail from the BASIC category

3. **Configure the Pattern**:
   * **Regex Rule**: Enter your regex pattern to match specific PII (e.g., `\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b` for SSN patterns)
   * **Replacement Text**: Define what to replace matches with (e.g., `[REDACTED]`, `*****`, `[SSN_HIDDEN]`)
   * **Enable Redact**: Toggle the "Redact" option to `ON`
   * **Inverse**: Keep this `OFF` unless you want to redact everything except the pattern

4. **Save the Guardrail**: Name your guardrail and save it to get the associated Guardrail ID

### Common Regex Patterns for PII

```
| PII Type | Regex Pattern | Replacement Example |
|----------|---------------|-------------------|
| Credit Card | `\b\d{4}[- ]?\d{4}[- ]?\d{4}[- ]?\d{4}\b` | `[CREDIT_CARD]` |
| Social Security Number | `\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b` | `[SSN_REDACTED]` |
| Phone Numbers | `\b\d{3}[-.]\d{3}[-.]\d{4}\b` | `[PHONE_HIDDEN]` |
| Email Addresses | `\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z|a-z]{2,}\b` | `[EMAIL_REDACTED]` |
| Custom Employee IDs | `EMP-\d{6}` | `[EMPLOYEE_ID]` |
```

### Adding to Your Config

Once you've created your custom PII regex guardrail, add it to your Portkey config:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "before_request_hooks": [
    {"id": "your-custom-pii-guardrail-id"}
  ],
  "after_request_hooks": [
    {"id": "your-custom-pii-guardrail-id"}
  ]
}
```

<Note>
  You can add the same guardrail to both `before_request_hooks` (input guardrails) and `after_request_hooks` (output guardrails) to scan and redact PII in both user inputs and LLM responses.
</Note>

### Example Implementation

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config: "pc-***" // Config with custom PII redaction
    });

    const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        model: "@your-model-slug",
        messages: [
            {
                role: "user",
                content: "My SSN is 123-45-6789 and credit card is 4532-1234-5678-9012"
            }
        ]
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```py theme={"system"}
    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config="pc-***" # Config with custom PII redaction
    )

    response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        model="@your-model-slug",
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "My SSN is 123-45-6789 and credit card is 4532-1234-5678-9012"
            }
        ]
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

With the custom regex guardrail configured, the input would be automatically transformed to:

```
"My SSN is [SSN_REDACTED] and credit card is [CREDIT_CARD]"
```

## How It Works

1. **Detection**: When enabled, the system scans incoming or outgoing requests for PII using the configured guardrail provider.

2. **Redaction**: Detected PII is automatically replaced with standardized identifiers:
   * Email addresses → `{{EMAIL_ADDRESS_1}}`, `{{EMAIL_ADDRESS_2}}`, etc.
   * Phone numbers → `{{PHONE_NUMBER_1}}`, `{{PHONE_NUMBER_2}}`, etc.
   * And similar patterns for other PII types

3. **Processing**: The redacted request is then forwarded to the LLM, ensuring sensitive data never reaches the model.

Example:

```
Original Request:
"Hi, you can reach me at john@example.com or 555-0123"

Redacted Request:
"Hi, you can reach me at {{EMAIL_ADDRESS_1}} or {{PHONE_NUMBER_1}}"
```

## Monitoring PII Redaction

You can track request transformations through two key indicators in the request/response body:

1. `transformed` boolean flag: Indicates whether any redaction occurred
2. `check_results` object: Contains detailed information about specific transformations

## Best Practices

1. **Gradual Implementation**:
   * Start by enabling the feature for a subset of requests
   * Monitor the logs and transformation results
   * Gradually expand coverage after validation

2. **Regular Monitoring**:
   * Review transformation logs periodically
   * Validate that sensitive information is being caught appropriately

3. **Documentation**:
   * Maintain records of what types of PII you're scanning for
   * Document any specific compliance requirements being addressed

## Security Considerations

* Redaction is irreversible by design
* Original PII storage and handling varies by guardrail provider
* The feature can be applied to both input and output content
* Custom regex patterns should be carefully designed to avoid false positives

**Compliance Implications**

This feature can help organizations meet various compliance requirements by:

* Preventing accidental exposure of sensitive data to LLMs
* Providing audit trails of PII handling
* Supporting data minimization principles
* Enabling systematic PII management across AI operations

## Limitations

* Redaction patterns are not customizable for pre-built guardrails (but can be customized using regex)
* Transformation is one-way (non-reversible)
* Performance may vary based on chosen guardrail provider
* Complex regex patterns may impact processing latency

## Troubleshooting

If you experience issues:

1. Verify the feature is enabled in your guardrails configuration
2. Check the `transformed` flag and `check_results` for specific transformation details
3. Review logs for any error messages or unexpected behavior
4. For custom regex patterns, validate the regex syntax and test with sample data
5. [Contact us here](https://portkey.wiki/community) for additional assistance

# MCP Gateway
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/mcp-gateway

The universal adapter for Model Context Protocol—connect once, access every MCP tool .

MCP Gateway connects your AI applications to any Model Context Protocol server with a single unified interface. Instead of juggling multiple MCP implementations, authentication methods, and connection protocols, you get one consistent API that works with every remote MCP tool—from GitHub to production databases. Set up once, connect everywhere.

## What is MCP Gateway?

MCP Gateway is a universal adapter for the Model Context Protocol ecosystem. It acts as a bridge between your AI applications and remote MCP servers, handling authentication, protocol translation, and connection management so you don't have to. Think of it as a smart proxy that speaks every MCP dialect fluently.

<Note>
  **Remote MCP servers only**: Portkey's MCP Gateway exclusively supports remote MCP servers over HTTP/SSE transport protocols. Local STDIO-based MCP servers are not supported.

  If you have a STDIO-based MCP server, see our guide on [Converting STDIO MCP Servers to Streamable HTTP](/guides/converting-stdio-to-streamable-http).
</Note>

| Without MCP Gateway                                                                         | With MCP Gateway                                                                     |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Multiple Integrations**: Every server has separate credentials and methods                | **One Integration**: Single OAuth 2.1 authentication for all servers                 |
| **Authentication Chaos**: Different auth methods for each server (OAuth, API keys, PATs)    | **Unified Authentication**: Single oauth token to rule them all                      |
| **Protocol Fragmentation**: SSE here, StreamableHTTP there, different transports everywhere | **Protocol Agnostic**: We handle HTTP and SSE transports. You just make requests     |
| **No Central Control**: Monitoring, rate limiting, and access control spread across systems | **Central Command**: Monitor, control, and secure all MCP connections from one place |
| **Team Friction**: "Works on my machine" becomes "works with my MCP setup"                  | **Team Harmony**: Share MCP configurations across your entire organization           |

## Key Features

**🔌 Universal Compatibility**
Connect to any remote MCP server over HTTP or SSE transport—whether it's the official github server, a community database connector, or your custom internal tool. If it speaks MCP over HTTP/SSE, we speak to it.

**🔐 Enterprise-Ready Security**
Built-in authentication, encryption in transit, secret management, and fine-grained access control. Your MCP tools are powerful—keep them secure.

**⚡ Performance at Scale**
Intelligent session management, connection pooling, automatic retries, and caching. Handle thousands of concurrent MCP operations without breaking a sweat.

**📊 Complete Observability**

# Architecture
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/mcp-gateway/architecture



## System Overview

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

<Note>
  The MCP Gateway supports remote MCP servers using HTTP/SSE transport protocols (StreamableHTTP and SSE). If you have a local STDIO-based MCP server that you want to use with the gateway, see our guide on [Converting STDIO MCP Servers to Streamable HTTP](/guides/converting-stdio-to-streamable-http).
</Note>

## Security Architecture

The gateway implements defense-in-depth security:

1. **Client Authentication**: OAuth 2.1 tokens validated on every request
2. **Authorization**: Scope-based access control for MCP operations
3. **Token Isolation**: Client tokens never forwarded to upstream servers
4. **Session Security**: Cryptographically secure session IDs with token-aligned expiration
5. **Transport Security**: TLS encryption for all connections
6. **Audit Logging**: Complete request/response audit trail

Portkey hosts the MCP Gateway on our edge network available through `https://mcp.portkey.ai`

The control plane is available on `https://app.portkey.ai` that gives you a UI-friendly way to manage, observe and govern MCP servers and their usage.

## Self-hosted Deployments

For enterprises self-hosting the gateway, the MCP gateway is packaged in the same AI gateway docker deployment.

MCP and AI gateways are exposed through different ports making it easy to map them to different base URLs which is advisable.

We recommend URLs like `https://ai.yourcompanyname.com` for the LLM gateway and `https://mcp.yourcompanyname.com` for the MCP gateway.

The helm chart contains variables to run both or individual servers in your deployment.


# MCP Clients
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/mcp-gateway/mcp-clients



Portkey makes it simple to integrate with MCP clients by connecting directly to your MCP servers and handling authentication automatically.

With Portkey, you can connect any server registered on Portkey’s MCP Hub using just a URL—no infrastructure setup, no secret management.

***

## Connecting your MCP Server

Once you’ve connected your MCP server to Portkey, Portkey provides you with a ready-to-use URL. For example:

```
https://mcp.portkey.ai/:workspace-id/:mcp-server-id/mcp
```

That’s all you need to connect Portkey to any MCP client.

***

You can simply add your MCO server configuration using JSON in your desired application:

Add this configuration to your Claude or other MCP client settings.

<CodeGroup>
  ```json Mac/Linux theme={"system"}
  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "portkey-mcp": {
        "enabled": true,
        "command": "npx",
        "source": "custom",
        "args": [
          "https://mcp.portkeydev.com/ws-shared-r43vt4/linear-be8562/mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }




  ```

  ```json Windows theme={"system"}
  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "portkey-mcp": {
        "enabled": true,
        "command": "npx",
        "source": "custom",
        "args": [
          "https://mcp.portkeydev.com/ws-shared-r43vt4/linear-be8562/mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
  ```

  ```json WSL theme={"system"}
  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "portkey-mcp": {
        "enabled": true,
        "command": "npx",
        "source": "custom",
        "args": [
          "https://mcp.portkeydev.com/ws-shared-r43vt4/linear-be8562/mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Example: Connecting to Cursor

1. Open Cursor:
   **Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P → View: Open MCP settings**

2. Click **Add a new MCP server**. This opens your MCP JSON.

3. Modify the JSON like this:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server1": {
      "url": "https://mcp.portkey.ai/:workspace-id/:mcp-server-id/mcp"
    },
    "server2": {
      "url": "https://mcp.portkey.ai/:workspace-id/:mcp-server-id/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

4. Note that Portkey manages authentication end to end. If the upstream MCP server requires auth, Portkey will prompt the user to allow access and then complete the auth flow with that server.

That’s it—you’ve added a Portkey MCP server to Cursor in just a few steps.

This keeps the developer experience extremely clean while maintaining granular access control and authentication.

# MCP Hub
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/mcp-gateway/mcp-hub

Portkey's MCP Hub to connect 1600+ LLMs with any Remote MCP Server

## Intro

<iframe title="YouTube video player" />


# Quickstart
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/mcp-gateway/quickstart



## 1. Add MCP Servers to the Hub

MCP servers connect to the private hub through the UI or API. The hub enables shared access across workspaces and team members.

<Note>
  **Remote servers only**: Portkey exclusively supports remote MCP servers over HTTP/SSE transport protocols. Local STDIO-based MCP servers are not supported.

  If you have a STDIO-based MCP server, see our guide on [Converting STDIO MCP Servers to Streamable HTTP](/guides/converting-stdio-to-streamable-http).
</Note>

Portkey supports remote MCP servers via StreamableHTTP and SSE transports. StreamableHTTP servers are recommended—SSE will be deprecated in the future.

1. Add the complete server URL (e.g., `https://mcp.linear.app/mcp`)
2. Set the transport type. When uncertain, select `Streamable HTTP`
3. Choose the auth type expected by the MCP server:
   * OAuth: Portkey automatically handles dynamic client registration with authorization code flows
   * Client Credentials
   * Custom Headers
4. Set auth granularity: org-wide, workspace-level, or user-level
5. Add the server

## 2. Provision Access to Workspaces

MCP servers become available for sharing with any workspace in the account. Workspace managers can also initiate server addition directly from within their workspace.

Portkey generates a URL for each MCP server, accessible by workspace members:

```
https://mcp.portkey.ai/:workspace-id/:mcp-server-id/mcp
```

For self-hosted MCP gateways:

```
https://mcp-gateway-url/:workspace-id/:mcp-server-id/mcp
```

## 3. Use MCP Servers in Apps and Agents

Integrate these MCP server URLs in your applications and agent workflows.

For example, add it to cursor at `Cursor Settings > MCP & Integrations > New MCP Server`

The final configuration would look like this

```json theme={"system"}
{
	{
		"mcpServers": {
			"server1": {
				"url": "https://mcp.portkey.ai/:workspace-id/:mcp-server-id/mcp"
			},
			"server2": {
				"url": "https://mcp.portkey.ai/:workspace-id/:mcp-server-id/mcp"
			}
		}
	}
}
```

Note that Portkey manages auth end to end. If the upstream MCP server needs auth, Portkey will prompt the user to allow access to the upstream server and then complete the auth flow with that server.

This keep the developer experience extremely clean while maintaining granular access control and auth.

# Model Catalog
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/model-catalog

A single pane to view and manage every AI provider and model in your organization. It provides centralized governance, discovery, and usage controls for all your AI resources.

The Model Catalog is a centralized hub for viewing and managing all AI providers and models within your organization. It abstracts raw API keys and scattered environment variables into governed Provider Integrations and Models, giving you complete control over how your teams access and use AI.

<Note>
  #### [Upgrading from Virtual Keys](/support/upgrade-to-model-catalog)

  The Model Catalog upgrades the Virtual Key experience by introducing a centralized, organization-level management layer, offering advantages like:

  * Centralized provider and model management - no more duplicate configs across workspaces.
  * Fine-grained control: budgets, rate limits, and model allow-lists at both org and workspace level.
  * Inline usage: just pass `model="@provider/model_slug"`

  **Need help?** See our [Migration Guide ➜](/support/upgrade-to-model-catalog)

    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Using Provider Models

Once you have AI Providers set up, you can use their models in your applications through various methods.

### 1. Model String Composition (Recommended)

In Portkey, model strings follow this format:

`@provider_slug/model_name`

<Frame>
  <img alt="Model String Format" />
</Frame>

For example, `@openai-prod/gpt-4o`, `@anthropic/claude-3-sonnet`, `@bedrock-us/claude-3-sonnet-v1`

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript Javascript SDK theme={"system"}
  import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';
  const client = new Portkey({ apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY" });

  const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
    model: '@openai-prod/gpt-4o',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }]
  });
  ```

  ```python Python SDK theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")

  resp = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]
  )
  ```

  ```python OpenAI Python SDK theme={"system"}
  from openai import OpenAI

  client = OpenAI(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY", base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1")

  client.chat.completions.create(
  	model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
  	messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  )
  ```

  ```javascript OpenAI JS SDK theme={"system"}
  import OpenAI from 'openai';

  const openai = new OpenAI({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
  });

  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
      model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }]
  });
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={"system"}
  curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -d '{
      "model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
      "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 2. Using the `provider` header

You can also specify the provider in the header instead of the model string. Remember to add the `@` before your provider slug.

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript Javascript SDK theme={"system"}
  import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';
  const client = new Portkey({
  	apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
  	provider: "@openai-prod"
  });

  const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'gpt-4o',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }]
  });
  ```

  ```python Python SDK theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  portkey = Portkey(
  	api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
  	provider="@openai-prod"
  )

  resp = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]
  )
  ```

  ```python OpenAI Python SDK theme={"system"}
  from openai import OpenAI
  from portkey_ai import createHeaders

  client = OpenAI(
  	api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
  	base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
  	default_headers=createHeaders(
  		provider="@openai-prod"
  	)
  )

  client.chat.completions.create(
  	model="gpt-4o",
  	messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  )
  ```

  ```javascript OpenAI JS SDK theme={"system"}
  import OpenAI from 'openai';
  import { createHeaders } from 'portkey-ai'

  const openai = new OpenAI({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
  	defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
  		provider: "@openai-prod"
  	})
  });

  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
      model: "gpt-4o",
      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }]
  });
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={"system"}
  curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -H "x-portkey-provider: @openai-prod" \
    -d '{
      "model": "gpt-4o",
      "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 3. Specify `provider` in the config

Portkey's configs are simple JSON structures that help you define routing logic for LLM requests. You can learn more about them [here](/product/ai-gateway/configs).

Portkey's config allows you to declare either the `provider` OR `provider+model` configuration in your routing config. Here's how:

**1. Defining the Provider**

```json theme={"system"}
// Specify provider in the config
{
	"provider": "@openai-prod"
}
```

**2. Defining the Provider + Model**

```json theme={"system"}
// Specify the model string in "override_params"
{
  "override_params": {
    "model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o"
  }
}
```

Using `overide_params` in  strategy

```json theme={"system"}
{
	"strategy": { "mode": "fallback" },
	"targets": [{
		"override_params": { "model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o" }
	}, {
		"override_params": { "model": "@anthropic/claude-3-sonnet" }
	}]
}
```

> **Ordering:** `config` (if provided) defines base; `override_params` merges on top (last write wins for scalars, deep merge for objects like `metadata`).

## Integrations

At the heart of Model Catalog is a simple concept: your AI provider credentials need to be stored securely, governed carefully and managed centrally. In Portkey, these stored credentials are called **Integrations**. Think of an Integration as a secure vault for your API keys - whether it's your OpenAI API key, AWS Bedrock credentials, or Azure OpenAI configuration.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Integrations Overview Page" />
</Frame>

Once you create an Integration (by storing your credentials), you can use it to create multiple AI Providers. For example, you might have one OpenAI Integration, but create three different AI Providers from it:

* `@openai-dev` for development with strict rate limits
* `@openai-staging` for testing with moderate budgets
* `@openai-prod` for production with higher limits

This separation gives you granular control over how different teams and environments use the same underlying credentials.

<Card title="Integrations" icon="key" href="/product/model-catalog/integrations">
  Learn how to create and manage AI service credentials across your organization
</Card>

## Managing Access and Controls

Each Integration in Portkey acts as a control point where you can configure:

### Budget Limits

Set spending controls at the Integration level to prevent unexpected costs. You can configure:

* **Cost-based limits**: Maximum spend in USD (e.g., \$1000/month)
* **Token-based limits**: Maximum tokens consumed (e.g., 10M tokens/week)
* **Periodic resets**: Weekly or monthly budget refreshes

<Frame>
  <img alt="Budget Limits Configuration" />
</Frame>

These limits cascade down to all AI Providers created from that Integration.

<Card title="Budget Management" icon="dollar-sign" href="/product/model-catalog/integrations#3-budget-%26-rate-limits">
  Set up cost controls and spending limits for your AI usage
</Card>

### Rate Limits

Control request rates to manage load and prevent abuse:

* **Requests per minute/hour/day**: Set appropriate throughput limits
* **Concurrent request limits**: Control parallel processing
* **Burst protection**: Prevent sudden spikes in usage

Rate limits help you maintain service quality and prevent any single user or team from monopolizing resources.

<Card title="Rate Limiting" icon="gauge" href="/product/model-catalog/integrations#3-budget-%26-rate-limits">
  Configure request rate controls to ensure fair usage and prevent abuse
</Card>

### Workspace Provisioning

Control which workspaces in your organization can access specific AI Providers:

* **Selective access**: Choose which teams can use production vs development providers
* **Environment isolation**: Keep staging and production resources separate
* **Department-level control**: Give finance different access than engineering

<Frame>
  <img alt="Workspace Provisioning Interface" />
</Frame>

This hierarchical approach ensures teams only have access to the resources they need.

<Card title="Workspace Provisioning" icon="building" href="/product/model-catalog/integrations#1-workspace-provisioning">
  Manage workspace access to AI providers and models
</Card>

### Model Provisioning

Fine-tune which models are available through each Integration:

* **Model allowlists**: Only expose specific models (e.g., only GPT-4 for production)
* **Model denylists**: Block access to expensive or experimental models
* **Custom model addition**: Add your fine-tuned or self-hosted models

<Frame>
  <img alt="Model Provisioning Settings" />
</Frame>

Model provisioning helps you maintain consistency and control costs across your organization.

<Card title="Model Provisioning" icon="filter" href="/product/model-catalog/integrations#2-model-provisioning">
  Configure which models are available through each integration
</Card>

## Advanced Model Management

### Custom Models

The Model Catalog isn't limited to standard provider models. You can add:

* **Fine-tuned models**: Your custom OpenAI or Anthropic fine-tunes
* **Self-hosted models**: Models running on your infrastructure
* **Private models**: Internal models not publicly available

Each custom model gets the same governance controls as standard models.

<Card title="Custom Models" icon="wrench" href="/product/model-catalog/custom-models">
  Add and manage your fine-tuned, self-hosted, or private models
</Card>

### Overriding Model Details (Custom Pricing)

Override default model pricing for:

* **Negotiated rates**: If you have enterprise agreements with providers
* **Internal chargebacks**: Set custom rates for internal cost allocation
* **Free tier models**: Mark certain models as free for specific teams

Custom pricing ensures your cost tracking accurately reflects your actual spend.

  On the Enterprise plan and need to connect to Bedrock using an AWS assumed role? Check out the documentation here.
</Card>

## Select AWS Assumed Role Authentication

Create a new integration on Portkey, select **Bedrock** as the provider and **AWS Assumed Role** as the authentication method.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## Create an AWS Role for Portkey to Assume

This role you create will be used by Porktey to execute InvokeModel commands on Bedrock models in your AWS account. The setup process will establish a minimal-permission ("least privilege") role and set it up to allow Porktey to assume this role.

### Create a permission policy in your AWS account using the following JSON

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "BedrockConsole",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "bedrock:InvokeModel",
        "bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream"
        ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}
```

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Create a new IAM role

Choose *AWS account* as the trusted entity type. If you set an external ID be sure to copy it, we will need it later.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Add the above policy to the role

Search for the policy you created above and add it to the role.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Configure Trust Relationship for the role

Once the role is created, open the role and navigate to the *Trust relationships* tab and click *Edit trust policy*.
This is where you will add the Portkey AWS account as a trusted entity.

```sh Portkey Account ARN theme={"system"}
arn:aws:iam::299329113195:role/portkey-app
```

<Note>
  The above ARN only works for our [hosted app](https://app.portkey.ai/).<br />

  To enable **Assumed Role for AWS in your Portkey Enterprise deployment**, you can refer to [this guide](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/helm/blob/main/charts/portkey-gateway/docs/Bedrock.md). If you face any issue, please reach out to us at [support@portkey.ai](mailto:support@portkey.ai).
</Note>

Paste the following JSON into the trust policy editor and click *Update Trust Policy*.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::299329113195:role/portkey-app"
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
      "Condition": {}
}
]
}
```

If you set an external ID, add it to the condition as shown below.

```json theme={"system"}
  {
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
      {
        "Effect": "Allow",
        "Principal": {
          "AWS": "<Portkey Account ARN>"
        },
        "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
        "Condition": {
          "StringEquals": {
            "sts:ExternalId": "<your external ID>"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
}
```

## Configure the integration with the role ARN

Once the role is created, copy the role ARN and paste it into the Bedrock integrations modal in Portkey along with the external ID if you set one and the AWS region you are using.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

You're all set! You can now use the new provider to invoke Bedrock models.


# Adding Custom Models
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/model-catalog/custom-models

Learn how to add custom and fine-tuned models to your Portkey Model Catalog for seamless integration.

Portkey's Model Catalog is designed to be a central hub for all the models you use, providing a unified interface for both supported and private models. By adding your custom or fine-tuned models to the catalog, you can seamlessly integrate them into your applications, leverage Portkey's unified API signature, and benefit from centralized logging, monitoring, and management.

This is especially useful for:

* **Fine-tuned Models**: Integrating your fine-tuned versions of popular models (e.g., `ft:gpt-4.1-nano`).
* **Internal/Proprietary Models**: Using your own in-house models through the Portkey gateway.
* **Models Not Natively Supported**: Adding models from providers that Portkey doesn't yet have a direct integration with, while mapping them to a compatible API signature.

## Adding a New Custom Model

You can add a custom model directly from your Portkey dashboard.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

1. Navigate to the relevant [**Integration**](https://app.portkey.ai/integrations) in your Portkey account, select the Integration for which you want to add a custom model.
2. Select the **Model Provisioning** step from steps.
3. Click the **Add Model** button on the top-right corner of the page.

This will open the **Add Custom Model** form.

<img alt="Add Custom Model Form" />

### Configuration Fields

Here’s a breakdown of each field in the form:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Model Slug">
    A unique, lowercase identifier for your model (e.g., `my-custom-model-v1`). This slug is what you will use in your API requests to reference this model.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Short Description">
    An optional, brief description to help you and your team understand the model's purpose or version.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Model Type">
    Specify the nature of your model:

    * **Fine-tuned model**: Select this if you are adding a fine-tuned version of a base model (like `ft:gpt-3.5-turbo`).
    * **Custom model**: Select this for any other model, such as proprietary in-house models.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Base Model">
    Select an existing model that your custom model is based on in terms of **API compatibility**. For example, if your custom model accepts the same request payload and returns the same response structure as `gpt-4`, you would select `gpt-4` here. This ensures Portkey can correctly format requests and parse responses.

    Enable this toggle if you want to associate specific input and output costs with your model. This is useful for accurate cost tracking and budget management within Portkey's dashboard.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Using Your Custom Model

Once you've added your custom model, you can use it just like any other model in the catalog. Simply reference its **Model Slug** in your API calls.

For example, to use a custom model with the slug `my-custom-model-v1` in a chat completion request, you would set it as the `model` in your virtual key configuration or pass it directly in the request header:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="cURL">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    curl -X POST https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -H "x-portkey-api-key: YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      -d '{
        "model": "@provider/my-custom-model-v1",
        "messages": [
          {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Hello, what can you do?"
          }
        ]
      }'
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    client = Portkey(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
    )

    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="@provider/my-custom-model-v1",
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "Hello, what can you do?"
            }
        ]
    )

    print(response.choices[0].message.content)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Portkey will route the request to the provider associated with the base model you selected, using your custom model's slug.


# Integrations
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/model-catalog/integrations

Securely store and manage AI provider credentials across your organization with centralized governance controls

<Note>
  Integrations are designed for **organization admins and managers** who need to manage AI provider access across teams. If you're looking to use AI models, see the [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog) documentation.
</Note>

Integrations are the secure foundation for AI provider management in Portkey. Think of them as your organization's credential vault - a centralized place where you store API keys, configure access controls, and set usage policies that cascade throughout your entire AI infrastructure.

When you create an Integration, you're not just storing credentials - you're establishing a governance layer that controls:

* **Who** can access these AI services (through workspace provisioning)
* **What** models they can use (through model provisioning)
* **How much** they can spend (through budget limits)
* **How fast** they can consume resources (through rate limits)

## Why Integrations Matter

In enterprise AI deployments, raw API keys scattered across teams create security risks and make cost control impossible. Integrations solve this by:

1. **Centralizing Credentials**: Store API keys once, use everywhere through secure references
2. **Enabling Governance**: Apply organization-wide policies that automatically enforce compliance
3. **Simplifying Management**: Update credentials, limits, or access in one place
4. **Maintaining Security**: Never expose raw API keys to end users or applications
5. **Granular Observabilty**: Get complete end-to-end observability and track 40+ crucial metric for every single LLM call

## Creating an Integration

Let's walk through creating an Integration for AWS Bedrock as an example:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Integrations">
    From your admin panel, go to **Integrations** and click **Create New Integration**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Your AI Provider">
    Choose from 200+ supported providers. Each provider may have different credential requirements.

    <Frame>
      <img alt="Creating Bedrock Integration" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Integration Details">
    * **Name**: A descriptive name for this integration (e.g., "Bedrock Production")
    * **Slug**: A unique identifier used in API calls (e.g., "bedrock-prod")
    * **Description**: Optional context about this integration's purpose
    * **Endpoint Type**: Choose between Public or Private endpoints
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Provider Credentials">
    Each provider requires different credentials:

    **For OpenAI:**

    <Frame>
      <img alt="OpenAI Integration Setup" />
    </Frame>

    * API Key
    * Optional: Organization ID, Project ID

    **For AWS Bedrock:**

    * AWS Access Key
    * AWS Secret Access Key
    * AWS Access Key ID
    * AWS Region

    <Card href="/product/model-catalog/connect-bedrock-with-amazon-assumed-role" title="Connect Bedrock with Amazon Assumed Role">
      How to integrate Bedrock using Amazon Assumed Role Authentication
    </Card>

    Similarly for:

    * Azure OpenAI
    * Google Vertex AI
    * Anthropic
    * Gemini
      and more...
  </Step>
</Steps>

# Configuring Your Integration Access & Limits

After creating your Integration, you'll need to configure three key aspects that work together to control access and usage:

## 1. Workspace Provisioning

Workspace provisioning determines which teams and projects can access this Integration. This is crucial for maintaining security boundaries and ensuring teams only access approved AI resources.

#### How It Works

When you provision an Integration to a workspace:

1. That workspace can create AI Providers using this Integration's credentials
2. All usage is tracked at the workspace level for accountability
3. Budget and rate limits can be applied per workspace
4. Access can be revoked instantly if needed

#### Setting Up Workspace Provisioning

<Frame>
  <img alt="Workspace Provisioning Configuration" />
</Frame>

1. In your Integration settings, navigate to **Workspace Provisioning**
2. Select which workspaces should have access:
   * **All Workspaces**: Grants access to every workspace in your organization
   * **Specific Workspaces**: Choose individual workspaces that need access
3. For each workspace, click the `Edit Budget & Rate Limits` <Icon icon="pen-to-square" /> icon to configure:
   * Custom budget limits (see Budget Limits section below)
   * Custom rate limits (see Rate Limits section below)
   * Specific model access

#### Best Practices

* **Principle of Least Privilege**: Only provision to workspaces that genuinely need access
* **Environment Separation**: Create separate Integrations for dev/staging/production
* **Regular Audits**: Review workspace provisioning quarterly to remove unnecessary access

***

## 2. Model Provisioning

Model provisioning gives you fine-grained control over which AI models are accessible through an Integration. This is essential for:

* Controlling costs by restricting access to expensive models
* Ensuring compliance by limiting models to approved ones
* Maintaining consistency by standardizing model usage across teams

#### Setting Up Model Provisioning

<Frame>
  <img alt="Model Provisioning Settings" />
</Frame>

1. In your Integration settings, navigate to **Model Provisioning**
2. Select the configuration options:
   * **Allow All Models**: Provides access to all models offered by the provider
   * **Allow Specific Models**: Create an allowlist of approved models

#### Advanced Model Management

### Custom Models

The Model Catalog isn't limited to standard provider models. You can add:

* **Fine-tuned models**: Your custom OpenAI or Anthropic fine-tunes
* **Self-hosted models**: Models running on your infrastructure
* **Private models**: Internal models not publicly available

Each custom model gets the same governance controls as standard models.

<Card title="Custom Models" icon="wrench" href="/product/model-catalog/custom-models">
  Add and manage your fine-tuned, self-hosted, or private models
</Card>

### Overriding Model Details (Custom Pricing)

Override default model pricing for:

* **Negotiated rates**: If you have enterprise agreements with providers
* **Internal chargebacks**: Set custom rates for internal cost allocation
* **Free tier models**: Mark certain models as free for specific teams

Custom pricing ensures your cost tracking accurately reflects your actual spend.

<Card title="Custom Pricing" icon="tag" href="/product/model-catalog/model-overrides">
  Configure custom pricing for models with special rates
</Card>

***

## 3. Budget & Rate Limits

Budget and rate limits are configured within Workspace Provisioning and provide financial and usage guardrails for your AI operations.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Budget and Rate Limit Configuration" />
</Frame>

### Budget Limits

**Budget Limits on Integrations** provide a simple way to manage your spending on AI providers (and LLMs) - giving you confidence and control over your application's costs. They act as financial guardrails, preventing unexpected AI costs across your organization. These limits cascade down to all AI Providers created from this Integration.

#### Setting Budget Limits

1. In your Integration settings, navigate to **Workspace Provisioning**
2. Select which workspaces should have access:
   * **All Workspaces**: Grants access to every workspace in your organization
   * **Specific Workspaces**: Choose individual workspaces that need access
3. Click on the  `Edit Budget & Rate Limits` <Icon icon="pen-to-square" /> icon to edit the budget limits for the selected workspace
4. Set your desired budget Limits
5. Optionally, Select the `Apply to every workspace where this integration is enabled` checkbox to apply the same budget limits to all workspaces where this integration is enabled

#### Cost-Based Limits

Set a budget limit in USD that, once reached, will automatically expire the key to prevent further usage and overspending.

#### Token-Based Limits

Set a maximum number of tokens that can be consumed, allowing you to control usage independent of cost fluctuations.

> #### Key Considerations for Budget Limits
>
> * Budget limits can be set as either cost-based (USD) or token-based
> * The minimum cost limit you can set is **\$1**
> * The minimum token limit you can set is **100 tokens**
> * Budget limits apply until exhausted or reset
> * Budget limits are applied only to requests made after the limit is set; they do not apply retroactively
> * Once set, budget limits **cannot be edited** by any organization member
> * Budget limits work for **all AI provider** created on Portkey using the given **integration**

#### Alert Thresholds

You can now set alert thresholds to receive notifications before your budget limit is reached:

* For cost-based budgets, set thresholds in USD
* For token-based budgets, set thresholds in tokens
* Receive email notifications when usage reaches the threshold
* Continue using the key until the full budget limit is reached

#### Periodic Reset Options

You can configure budget limits to automatically reset at regular intervals:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

**Reset Period Options:**

* **No Periodic Reset**: The budget limit applies until exhausted with no automatic renewal
* **Reset Weekly**: Budget limits automatically reset every week
* **Reset Monthly**: Budget limits automatically reset every month

**Reset Timing:**

* Weekly resets occur at the beginning of each week (Sunday at 12 AM UTC)
* Monthly resets occur on the **1st** calendar day of the month, at **12 AM UTC**, irrespective of when the budget limit was set prior

### Rate Limits

Rate limits control the velocity of API usage, protecting against runaway processes and ensuring fair resource distribution across teams.

#### Setting Rate Limits

1. In your Integration settings, navigate to **Workspace Provisioning**
2. Select which workspaces should have access:
   * **All Workspaces**: Grants access to every workspace in your organization
   * **Specific Workspaces**: Choose individual workspaces that need access
3. Click on the  `Edit Budget & Rate Limits` <Icon icon="pen-to-square" /> icon to edit the rate limits for the selected workspace
4. Set your desired rate Limits
5. Optionally, Select the `Apply to every workspace where this integration is enabled` checkbox to apply the same rate limits to all workspaces where this integration is enabled

#### Configuration Options

**Limit Types:**

* **Request-based**: Limit number of API calls (e.g., 1000 requests/minute)
* **Token-based**: Limit token consumption rate (e.g., 1M tokens/hour)

**Time Windows:**
You can choose from three different time intervals for your rate limits:

* **Per Minute**: Limits reset every minute, ideal for fine-grained control
* **Per Hour**: Limits reset hourly, providing balanced usage control
* **Per Day**: Limits reset daily, suitable for broader usage patterns

> #### Key Considerations for Rate Limits
>
> * Rate limits can be set as either request-based or token-based
> * Time intervals can be configured as per minute, per hour, or per day
> * Setting the limit to 0 disables the virtual key
> * Rate limits apply immediately after being set
> * Once set, rate limits **cannot be edited** by any organization member
> * Rate limits work for **all providers** available on Portkey and apply to **all organization members** who use the virtual key
> * After a rate limit is reached, requests will be rejected until the time period resets

#### Use Cases for Rate Limits

* **Cost Control**: Prevent unexpected usage spikes that could lead to high costs
* **Performance Management**: Ensure your application maintains consistent performance
* **Fairness**: Distribute API access fairly across teams or users
* **Security**: Mitigate potential abuse or DoS attacks
* **Provider Compliance**: Stay within the rate limits imposed by underlying AI providers

#### Exceeding Rate Limits

When a rate limit is reached:

* Subsequent requests are rejected with a specific error code
* Error messages clearly indicate that the rate limit has been exceeded
* The limit automatically resets after the specified time period has elapsed

***

# Overriding Model Details
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/model-catalog/model-overrides

Learn how to set custom pricing for any base model in your Portkey Model Catalog to reflect your specific costs.

Portkey's Model Catalog automatically includes the standard pay-as-you-go pricing for supported models, which is used to calculate costs on your dashboard. However, you may have different pricing arrangements with your model providers, such as negotiated discounts, committed use contracts, or your own internal pricing for private models.

To ensure your cost and usage analytics are accurate, Portkey allows you to override the default pricing for any model in the catalog.

## How to Override Model Pricing

You can change the pricing for any model directly from your Portkey dashboard.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Override Model Pricing Form" />
</Frame>

1. Navigate to the relevant [**Integration**](https://app.portkey.ai/integrations) in your Portkey account, select the Integration for which you want to add a custom model.
2. Select the **Model Provisioning** step from steps.
3. Find the model whose pricing you want to change in the list.
4. Click the **Edit** (pencil) icon on the right side of the model's row.

This will open a form where you can set your custom pricing.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Override Pricing Form" />
</Frame>

### Pricing Fields

When you edit a model, you can set the following pricing values:

<Cards>
  <Card title="Input Cost">
    Enter your custom cost for **1 million input tokens** in USD. This is the cost associated with the tokens you send to the model.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Output Cost">
    Enter your custom cost for **1 million output tokens** in USD. This is the cost associated with the tokens the model generates in response.
  </Card>
</Cards>

Once you save the changes, Portkey will use these new rates to calculate the cost of all subsequent requests made with this model, providing you with an accurate view of your AI expenditure.

# Analytics
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/analytics



<Info>
  This feature is available for all plans:-

  * [Developer](https://app.portkey.ai/): 30 days retention
  * [Production](https://app.portkey.ai/): 365 days retention
  * [Enterprise](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering): Unlimited
</Info>

As soon as you integrate Portkey, you can start to view detailed & real-time analytics on cost, latency and accuracy across all your LLM requests.

The analytics dashboard provides an interactive interface to understand your LLM application Here, you can see various graphs and metrics related to requests to different LLMs, costs, latencies, tokens, user activity, feedback, cache hits, errors, and much more.

The metrics in the Analytics section can help you understand the overall efficiency of your application, discover patterns, identify areas of optimization, and much more.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## Charts

The dashboard provides insights into your [users](/product/observability/analytics#users), [errors](/product/observability/analytics#errors), [cache](/product/observability/analytics#cache), [feedback](/product/observability/analytics#feedback) and also summarizes information by [metadata](/product/observability/analytics#metadata-summary).

### Overview

The overview tab is a 70,000ft view of your application's performance. This highlights the cost, tokens used, mean latency, requests and information on your users and top models.

This is a good starting point to then dive deeper.

### Users

The users tab provides an overview of the user information associated with your Portkey requests. This data is derived from the `user` parameter in OpenAI SDK requests or the special `_user` key in the Portkey [metadata header](/product/observability/metadata).

Portkey currently does not provide analytics on usage patterns for individual team members in your Portkey organization. The users tab is designed to track end-user behavior in your application, not internal team usage.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Errors

Portkey captures errors automatically for API and Accuracy errors. The charts give you a quick sense of error rates allowing you to debug further when needed.

The dashboard also shows you the number of requests rescued by Portkey through the various AI gateway strategies.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Cache

When you enable cache through the AI gateway, you can view data on the latency improvements and cost savings due to cache.

### Feedback

Portkey allows you to collect feedback on LLM requests through the logs dashboard or via API. You can view analytics on this feedback collected on this dashboard.

### Metadata Summary

Group your request data by metadata parameters to unlock insights on usage. Select the metadata property to use in the dropdown and view the request data grouped by values of that metadata parameter.

This lets you answer questions like:

1. Which users are we spending the most on?
2. Which organisations have the highest latency?

# Auto-Instrumentation [BETA]
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/auto-instrumentation

Portkey's auto-instrumentation allows you to instrument tracing and logging for multiple LLM/Agent frameworks and view the logs, traces, and metrics in a single place.

<Warning>
  This feature is currently in beta. We're rolling out support for more frameworks and will also be exposing the otel collector endpoint to view the traces and logs.
</Warning>

## Overview

There's two main components to auto-instrumentation:

1. The Portkey SDK, which can be used for tracing along with being used as a unified API gateway.
2. The Portkey dashboard, which can be used to view the logs, traces, and metrics.

## Portkey SDK

Using portkey for auto-instrumentation is fairly straightforward. A one line addition at the top of your code execution will start sending traces and logs to Portkey.

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey import Portkey

Portkey(api_key="{{PORTKEY_API_KEY}}", instrumentation=True)
```

## Portkey Dashboard

The Portkey dashboard can be used to view the logs, traces, and metrics.

<img alt="Portkey dashboard auto-instrumentation image" />

## Supported Frameworks

We currently support auto-instrumentation for the following frameworks:

* [CrewAI](/integrations/agents/crewai#auto-instrumentation)
* [LangGraph](/integrations/agents/langgraph#auto-instrumentation)

<Note>
  To request support for another framework, please reach out to us on [Discord here](https://portkey.ai/community).

# Budget Limits
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/budget-limits





# Model Pricing and Cost Management
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/cost-management

Learn how Portkey handles pricing data, cost calculations, and pricing updates across different deployment modes.

Portkey tracks pricing for all providers and models for which it has pricing support, providing real-time cost visibility and budget management capabilities. The platform automatically handles pricing updates and supports custom pricing configurations for enterprise customers.

## How Pricing Data Works

### Pricing JSON System

Portkey uses a centralized pricing JSON system to maintain accurate cost information:

* **Automatic Updates**: If you're on the latest versions, this JSON updates automatically with the latest numbers
* **Caching Strategy**: Pricing data is cached for 24 hours, after which the latest values are pulled from the central control plane
* **Version Requirements**: This automatic pricing update feature is available in gateway version 1.12 series and later

### Cost Calculation

For token-based budgets, Portkey tracks both input and output tokens across all supported models. Cost calculations include:

* Input token costs based on provider pricing
* Output token costs with different rates where applicable
* Real-time cost tracking per request
* Aggregated cost reporting across time periods

## Deployment-Specific Pricing Management

Portkey supports three deployment modes, each with different pricing update mechanisms:

### 1. SaaS Deployment (Portkey Cloud)

* **Update Frequency**: Instant pricing updates
* **Management**: Fully managed by Portkey
* **Maintenance**: No action required from customers

### 2. Hybrid Deployment

* **Update Frequency**: Automatic updates every 24 hours
* **Gateway Version**: Requires version 1.12+ for automatic updates
* **Maintenance**: Minimal - pricing JSON updates automatically from central control plane
* **Manual Updates**: Only required when new pricing features are introduced

### 3. Air-Gapped Deployment

* **Update Frequency**: Manual deployment required
* **Management**: Customer-managed pricing updates
* **Process**: Requires new deployments to update pricing information
* **Considerations**: May have delayed pricing updates compared to other deployment modes

## Model Catalog and Custom Pricing

### Upgrading to Model Catalog

The [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog) is the evolution of Virtual Keys, providing a centralized and powerful way to manage, discover, and use AI models within your workspace. Key benefits include:

* **Centralized Management**: Create a single (or multiple) provider integration at the organization level, and securely provision it to multiple workspaces
* [**Custom Pricing Support**](/product/model-catalog/custom-models): Update pricing for models directly from the UI
* [**Model Overrides**](/product/model-catalog/model-overrides): Create custom models with specific pricing configurations

### Custom Model Pricing

For customers with preferential pricing from providers, Portkey offers:

* **UI-Based Updates**: Modify pricing for existing models through the dashboard
* [**Custom Models**](/product/model-catalog/custom-models): Create new model entries with specific pricing
* [**Model Overrides**](/product/model-catalog/model-overrides): Override default pricing for specific use cases

## Cost Tracking and Analytics

### Real-Time Monitoring

The AI gateway records real-time API requests, including cost and guardrail violations, providing:

* Per-request cost visibility
* Token usage tracking
* Provider-specific cost breakdown
* Time-based cost analysis

### Analytics Dashboard

You can track your spending and token usage for any specific providers and model by navigating to the [Analytics tab](/product/observability/analytics) and filtering by the desired key and timeframe.

**Available Metrics**:

* Total spend across providers
* Cost per model/provider/token
* Usage patterns and trends
* Budget utilization tracking

## Pricing Support Coverage

### Supported Models

Budget limits currently apply to all providers and models for which Portkey has pricing support. This includes:

* All major LLM providers (OpenAI, Claude, etc.)
* Vision and multimodal models
* Audio processing models
* Image generation models

### Unsupported Models

If a specific request log shows 0 cents in the COST column, it means that Portkey does not currently track pricing for that model, and it will not count towards the virtual key's budget limit.

For models without pricing support:

* Cost tracking shows \$0.00
* Budget limits don't apply
* Manual cost tracking may be required

## Troubleshooting Pricing Issues

### Common Issues and Solutions

**Q: Pricing data seems outdated**

* **A**: Ensure you're running gateway version 1.12+. Pricing updates automatically every 24 hours.

**Q: Custom pricing not reflecting in dashboard**

* **A**: Upgrade to Model Catalog for UI-based pricing management. Contact enterprise support for custom pricing configuration.

**Q: Budget limits not working for specific models**

* **A**: Verify that Portkey has pricing support for those models. Unsupported models show \$0.00 in cost tracking.

**Q: Air-gapped deployment has stale pricing**

* **A**: Request updated deployment packages that include latest pricing data.

### Enterprise Support

For enterprise customers requiring:

* Custom pricing configurations
* Advanced budget management
* Pricing data exports
* Integration assistance

Contact: [support@portkey.ai](mailto:support@portkey.ai)

## Best Practices

### Cost Optimization

1. **Use Budget Limits**: Set appropriate spending limits to prevent overages
2. **Monitor Usage**: Regularly review cost analytics to identify optimization opportunities
3. **Model Selection**: Use cost-effective models for appropriate use cases
4. **Caching**: Leverage Portkey's caching features to reduce redundant API calls

### Pricing Management

1. **Stay Updated**: Keep gateway versions current for automatic pricing updates
2. **Regular Reviews**: Monitor pricing changes across providers
3. **Custom Pricing**: Configure preferential rates when available

# Feedback
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/feedback

Portkey's Feedback APIs provide a simple way to get weighted feedback from customers on any request you served, at any stage in your app.

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey plans.
</Info>

You can capture this feedback on a request or conversation level and analyze it by adding meta data to the relevant request.

## Adding Feedback to Requests

### 1. Find the \`trace-id\`

Portkey adds trace ids to all incoming requests. You can find this in the `x-portkey-trace-id` response header.

To use your own trace IDs, send them as part of the request headers - [Adding a trace ID to your requests](/product/observability/traces#how-to-enable-request-tracing)

### 2. Add feedback

You can append feedback to a request through the SDKs or the REST API.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"

        traceID: "your trace id",
        value: 5, // Integer between -10 and 10
        weight: 1, // Optional
        metadata: {
            ... // Pass any additional context here like comments, _user and more
        }
    })

#### Other Ideas for collecting feedback

* Business metrics make for great feedback. If you're generating an email, the email being sent out could be a positive feedback metric. The level of editing could indicate the value.
* When a user retries a generation, store the negative feedback since something probably went wrong. Use a lower weight for this feedback since it could be circumstantial.

### Feedback Analytics

You can see the `Feedback Count` and `Value: Weight` pairs for each `trace-id` on the logs page. You can also view the feedback details on [Analytics](/product/observability/analytics#feedback) and on the Prompt Eval tabs.


# Filters
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/filters



<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey plans.
</Info>

You can filter analytics & logs by the following parameters:

1. **Model Used**: The AI provider and the model used.
2. **Cost**: The cost of the request in cents
3. **Tokens**: The total number of tokens used in the request
4. **Status**: The API status of the response that was received from the LLM provider
5. **Meta**: The [metadata](/product/observability/metadata) properties sent to Portkey
6. **Avg Weighted Feedback**: The average weighted feedback scores calculated for the requests
7. **Provider:** The provider that's used
8. **Config:** The Config ID that's passed to the request
9. **Trace ID:** Request trace ID
10. **Time Range**: The date and time range for the analytics & logs
11. **API Key**: The API Key used to make the request
12. **Prompt ID**: The unique request ID
13. **Cache Status**: The status of the cache for the request
14. **Workspace**: The workspace used to make the request
15. **Saved Filters**: The saved filters that you can use to quickly access your frequently used filter combinations

<Note>
  Depending on your role in the organization, you may have access to different filters.
</Note>

## Saved Filters

Quickly access your frequently used filter combinations with the `Saved Filters` feature. Save any set of filters directly from the search bar on the Logs or Analytics pages. Saved filters allow you to instantly apply complex filter rules without retyping them every time.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Saved filters are accessible to all organization members, who can also edit, rename, or delete them as needed. Share saved filters with teammates to streamline collaboration and ensure everyone has access to the right data views.


# Logs
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/logs

The Logs section presents a chronological list of all the requests processed through Portkey.

<Info>
  This feature is available for all plans:

  * [Developer](https://app.portkey.ai/): 10k Logs / Month with 3 day Log Retention
  * [Production](https://app.portkey.ai/): 100k Logs / Month + \$9 for additional 100k with 30 Days Log Retention
  * [Enterprise](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering): Unlimited
</Info>

Each log entry provides useful data such as the timestamp, request type, LLM used, tokens generated, thinking tokens and cost. For [multimodal models](/product/ai-gateway/multimodal-capabilities), Logs will also show the image sent with vision/image models, as well as the image generated.

By clicking on an entry, a side panel opens up, revealing the entire raw data with the request and response objects.

This detailed log can be invaluable when troubleshooting issues or understanding specific interactions. It provides full transparency into each request and response, enabling you to see exactly what data was sent and received.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## Share Logs with Teammates

Each log on Portkey has a unique URL. You can copy the link from the address bar and directly share it with anyone in your org.

## Request Status Guide

The Status column on the Logs page gives you a snapshot of the gateway activity for every request.

Portkey’s gateway features—[Cache](/product/ai-gateway/cache-simple-and-semantic), [Retries](/product/ai-gateway/automatic-retries), [Fallback](/product/ai-gateway/fallbacks), [Loadbalance](/product/ai-gateway/load-balancing) are tracked here with their exact states (`disabled`, `triggered`, etc.), making it a breeze to monitor and optimize your usage.

**Common Queries Answered:**

* **Is the cache working?**: Enabled caching but unsure if it's active? The Status column will confirm it for you.
* **How many retries happened?**: Curious about the retry count for a successful request? See it in a glance.
* **Fallback and Loadbalance**: Want to know if load balance is active or which fallback option was triggered? See it in a glance.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

| Option          | 🔴 Inactive State     | 🟢 Possible Active States                               |
| --------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Cache**       | Cache Disabled        | Cache Miss,Cache Refreshed,Cache Hit,Cache Semantic Hit |
| **Retry**       | Retry Not Triggered   | Retry Success on  Tries,Retry Failed                    |
| **Fallback**    | Fallback Disabled     | Fallback Active                                         |
| **Loadbalance** | Loadbalancer Disabled | Loadbalancer Active                                     |

## Manual Feedback

As you're viewing logs, you can also add manual feedback on the logs to be analysed and filtered later. This data can be viewed on the [feedback analytics dashboards](/product/observability/analytics#feedback).

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## Configs & Prompt IDs in Logs

If your request has an attached [Config](/product/ai-gateway/configs) or if it's originating from a [prompt template](/product/prompt-library), you can see the relevant Config or Prompt IDs separately in the log's details on Portkey. And to dig deeper, you can just click on the IDs and Portkey will take you to the respective Config or Prompt playground where you can view the full details.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## Debug Requests with Log Replay

You can rerun any buggy request with just one click, straight from the log details page. The `Replay` button opens your request in a fresh prompt playground where you can rerun the request and edit it right there until it works.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

<Info>
  `Replay` **button will be inactive for a log in the following cases:**

  1. If the request is sent to any endpoint other than `/chat/completions,` `/completions`, `/embeddings`
  2. If the provider used in the log is archived on Portkey
  3. If the request originates from a prompt template which is called from inside a Config target
</Info>

## DO NOT TRACK

The `DO NOT TRACK` option allows you to process requests without logging the request and response data. When enabled, only high-level statistics like **tokens** used, **cost**, and **latency** will be recorded, while the actual request and response content will be omitted from the logs.

This feature is particularly useful when dealing with sensitive data or complying with data privacy regulations. It ensures that you can still capture critical operational metrics without storing potentially sensitive information in your logs.

To enable `DO NOT TRACK` for a specific request, set the `debug` flag to `false` when instantiating your **Portkey** or **OpenAI** client, or include the `x-portkey-debug:false` header with your request.

# Metadata
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/metadata

Add custom context to your AI requests for better observability and analytics

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey plans.
</Info>

## What is Metadata?

Metadata in Portkey allows you to attach custom contextual information to your AI requests. Think of it as tagging your requests with important business context that helps you:

* **Track usage** across different users, environments, or features
* **Filter logs** to isolate specific request types
* **Analyze patterns** in how your AI is being used
* **Audit activities** for compliance and security

```python theme={"system"}
# Example metadata
{
    "_user": "user-123",      # Who made this request?
    "environment": "prod",    # Where was it made from?
    "feature": "chat-assist", # What feature was using AI?
    "request_id": "42aff12"   # Your internal tracking ID
}
```

  **About the `_user` key:** If you pass a `user` field in your OpenAI request body, we'll automatically copy it to the `_user` metadata key. If both exist, the explicit `_user` metadata value takes precedence.
</Info>

## Where to See Your Metadata

### Analytics Dashboard

Analytics dashboard has a dedicated Tab to view aggregate stats on all your metadat keys:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Analytics with metadata filters" />
</Frame>

### Request Logs

You can also apply any metadata filters to the logs or analytics and filter data by any metadata key you've used:

## Enterprise Features

For enterprise users, Portkey offers advanced metadata governance and lets you define metadata at multiple levels:

1. **Request level** - Applied to a single request
2. **API key level** - Applied to all requests using that key
3. **Workspace level** - Applied to all requests in a workspace

<Card title="Enforcing Required Metadata" href="/product/administration/enforcing-request-metadata">
  Define mandatory metadata fields that must be included with all requests
</Card>

When the same key appears at multiple levels, the **precedence order** is:

1. Workspace metadata (highest priority)
2. API key metadata
3. Request metadata (lowest priority)

<Info>
  Please note that before 1.10.20, the precedence order was:

  1. Request metadata (highest priority)
  2. API key metadata
  3. Workspace metadata (lowest priority)
</Info>

## Best Practices

* Use **consistent keys** across your organization

* Create **naming conventions** for metadata keys

* Consider adding these common fields:
  * `_user`: Who initiated this request
  * `environment`: Which environment (dev/staging/prod)
  * `feature` or `component`: Which part of your product
  * `version`: API or app version
  * `session_id`: To group related requests
  * `request_id`: Your internal tracking ID

* For proper tracking, **always include the `_user` field** when the request is on behalf of an end-user


# OpenTelemetry for LLM Observability
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/opentelemetry

Leverage OpenTelemetry with Portkey for comprehensive LLM application observability, combining gateway insights with full-stack telemetry.

[OpenTelemetry (OTel)](https://opentelemetry.io/) is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) open-source framework. It provides a standardized way to collect, process, and export telemetry data (traces, metrics, and logs) from your applications. This is vital for monitoring performance, debugging issues, and understanding complex system behavior.

Many popular AI development tools and SDKs, like the Vercel AI SDK, LlamaIndex, OpenLLMetry, and Logfire, utilize OpenTelemetry for observability. Portkey now embraces OTel, allowing you to send telemetry data from any OTel-compatible source directly into Portkey's observability platform.

## The Portkey Advantage: Gateway Intelligence Meets Full-Stack Observability

Portkey's strength lies in its unique combination of an intelligent **LLM Gateway** and a powerful **Observability** backend.

* **Enriched Data from the Gateway:** Your LLM calls routed through the Portkey Gateway are automatically enriched with deep contextual information—virtual keys, caching status, retry attempts, prompt versions, and more. This data flows seamlessly into Portkey Observability.

* **Holistic View with OpenTelemetry:** By adding an OTel endpoint, Portkey now ingests traces and logs from your *entire* application stack, not just the LLM calls. Instrument your frontend, backend services, databases, and any other component with OTel, and send that data to Portkey.

This combination provides an unparalleled, end-to-end view of your LLM application's performance, cost, and behavior. You can correlate application-level events with specific LLM interactions managed by the Portkey Gateway.

## How OpenTelemetry Data Flows to Portkey

The following diagram illustrates how telemetry data from your instrumented applications and the Portkey Gateway itself is consolidated within Portkey Observability:

```mermaid theme={"system"}
graph LR
    subgraph Your Application Stack
        A[Application Code]
        LIB[OTel Libraries e.g. Logfire]
        A -- Instruments with --> LIB
    end

    PG[Portkey Gateway]
    PK_OTEL[Portkey OTel Endpoint api.portkey.ai/v1/otel]
    PK_OBS[Portkey Observability Backend]

    LIB -- Direct Export --> PK_OTEL
    A -- LLM Calls via --> PG
    PG -- Rich Telemetry & Logs --> PK_OBS
    PK_OTEL -- Ingests Data --> PK_OBS
```

**Explanation:**

1. Your **Application Code** is instrumented using **OTel Instrumentation Libraries**.
2. This telemetry data (traces, logs) can be sent to the **Portkey OTel Backend Endpoint**.
3. Simultaneously, LLM calls made via the **Portkey Gateway** generate their own rich, structured telemetry.
4. All this data is consolidated in the **Portkey Observability Stack**, giving you a unified view.

## Setting Up Portkey as an OpenTelemetry Backend

To send your OpenTelemetry data to Portkey, configure your OTel exporter to point to Portkey's OTLP endpoint and provide your Portkey API Key for authentication.

**Key Environment Variables:**

```bash theme={"system"}
# Portkey's OTLP HTTP Endpoint for traces and logs
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT="https://api.portkey.ai/v1/otel"
# Your Portkey API Key (ensure it's a Server Key)
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS="x-portkey-api-key=YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
```

<Note>
  Replace `YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY` with your actual Portkey API Key found in your Portkey Dashboard.
</Note>

**Signal-Specific Endpoints:**
If your OTel collector or SDK strictly requires signal-specific endpoints:

**For Traces:**
`OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT="https://api.portkey.ai/v1/otel/v1/traces"`

**For Logs:**
`OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_LOGS_ENDPOINT="https://api.portkey.ai/v1/otel/v1/logs"`

<Note>
  Remember to include the `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS` with your API key for these as well.
</Note>

## Viewing Traces

Once configured, your OpenTelemetry traces appear in the Portkey dashboard with full visibility for your AI application:

<Frame>
  <img alt="OpenTelemetry traces in Portkey" />
</Frame>

## GenAI Semantic Conventions Support

Portkey automatically enriches OpenTelemetry traces with cost and token metrics following the [GenAI Semantic Conventions](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/gen-ai/). When you send traces with GenAI attributes, Portkey automatically:

* **Extracts Token Counts**: Reads `gen_ai.usage.input_tokens` and `gen_ai.usage.output_tokens` from trace attributes
* **Calculates Costs**: Automatically computes costs based on token usage and model pricing
* **Identifies Models & Providers**: Extracts model information from `gen_ai.request.model` or `gen_ai.response.model` and provider from `gen_ai.system`
* **Enriches Analytics**: Makes all trace data available for cost attribution and usage analysis

This means traces sent from OpenTelemetry-instrumented applications automatically get the same cost tracking and analytics as requests made directly through the Portkey Gateway.

<Note>
  This feature is particularly powerful for applications using frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or other tools with built-in OpenTelemetry instrumentation that follow GenAI semantic conventions.
</Note>

## W3C Trace Context Headers

When making requests to the Portkey Gateway, you can use standard W3C trace context headers (`traceparent` and `baggage`) instead of Portkey-specific headers. This enables seamless integration with existing OpenTelemetry-instrumented applications.

* **`traceparent`**: The trace ID and span ID are automatically extracted and used for Portkey's tracing
* **`baggage`**: Key-value pairs are parsed and merged into the request metadata

For detailed usage examples and header specifications, see the [W3C Trace Context Support section in the Tracing documentation](/product/observability/traces#w3c-trace-context-support).

## Experimental Features

### Push Logs to an OpenTelemetry compatible endpoint `[Enterprise/Self-Hosted]`

<Warning>
  [OpenTelemetry conventions on GenAI Traces](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/gen-ai/gen-ai-spans/) are still under development and have not been widely adapted, hence the feature is still experimental.
</Warning>

When enabled, Portkey Gateway pushes logs to an OpenTelemetry-compatible endpoint following the experimental semantic conventions for GenAI. This includes rich attributes such as:

* Request attributes: `gen_ai.request.model`, `gen_ai.request.max_tokens`, `gen_ai.request.temperature`, etc.
* Response attributes: `gen_ai.response.id`, `gen_ai.response.model`, `gen_ai.response.input_tokens`, `gen_ai.response.output_tokens`, etc.
* Provider information: `gen_ai.provider.name`
* Prompt and output messages: `gen_ai.prompt.*`, `gen_ai.output.messages`
* Tool definitions: `gen_ai.tool.definitions`

To push logs to an OpenTelemetry compatible endpoint, you can set the following environment variables in your deployment configuration:

This is an example configuration for LangSmith, but all OpenTelemetry compatible endpoints are supported.

```yaml theme={"system"}
EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_TRACES_ENABLED: "true"
EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT: https://api.smith.langchain.com/otel
EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS: x-api-key=langsmith-api-key
```

**Environment Variables:**

* `EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_TRACES_ENABLED`: Set to `"true"` to enable pushing logs to an OpenTelemetry endpoint
* `EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`: The OpenTelemetry OTLP endpoint URL (e.g., `https://api.smith.langchain.com/otel`)
* `EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS`: Comma-separated list of headers in the format `key=value` (e.g., `x-api-key=langsmith-api-key`)

The logs are pushed to the endpoint specified in `EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` at the `/v1/traces` path.

# Tracing
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/traces

The **Tracing** capabilities in Portkey empowers you to monitor the lifecycle of your LLM requests in a unified, chronological view.

<Info>
  This feature is available for all plans:-

  * [Developer](https://app.portkey.ai/): 10k Logs / Month with 3 day Log Retention
  * [Production](https://app.portkey.ai/): 100k Logs / Month + \$9 for additional 100k with 30 Days Log Retention
  * [Enterprise](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering): Unlimited
</Info>

This is perfect for **agentic workflows**, **chatbots**, or **multi-step LLM calls**, by helping you understand and optimize your AI application's performance.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## How Tracing Works

Portkey implements OpenTelemetry-compliant tracing. When you include a `trace ID` with your requests, all related LLM calls are grouped together in the Traces View, appearing as "spans" within that trace.

> "Span" is another word for subgrouping of LLM calls. Based on how you instrument, it can refer to another group within your trace or to a single LLM call.

## Trace Tree Structure

Portkey uses a tree data structure for tracing, **similar to OTel.**

Each node in the tree is a span with a unique `spanId` and optional `spanName`. Child spans link to a parent via the `parentSpanId`. Parentless spans become root nodes.

```
traceId
├─ parentSpanId
│  ├─ spanId
│  ├─ spanName
```

| Key - Node   | Key - Python     | Expected Value | Required? |
| ------------ | ---------------- | -------------- | --------- |
| traceId      | trace\_id        | Unique string  | YES       |
| spanId       | span\_id         | Unique string  | NO        |
| spanName     | span\_name       | string         | NO        |
| parentSpanId | parent\_span\_id | Unique string  | NO        |

***

## W3C Trace Context Support

Portkey supports the [W3C Trace Context](https://www.w3.org/TR/trace-context/) standard headers, making it easy to integrate with existing OpenTelemetry-instrumented applications. If you're already using OpenTelemetry in your stack, you can pass the standard `traceparent` and `baggage` headers instead of Portkey-specific headers.

### traceparent Header

The `traceparent` header follows the W3C format: `version-trace_id-parent_id-trace_flags`

**Example:** `00-bad90143930ea019df8f681254fb2393-42df8ac2dde4ac52-00`

When you send a request with the `traceparent` header:

* The `trace_id` (32 hex characters) is extracted and used as `x-portkey-trace-id`
* The `parent_id` (16 hex characters) is extracted and used as `x-portkey-parent-span-id` (the caller's span)
* A new `span_id` is automatically generated for the gateway's span
* The `span_name` is automatically set to the HTTP method and path (e.g., `POST /v1/chat/completions`)

<Note>
  If you provide both `traceparent` and Portkey-specific headers (`x-portkey-trace-id`, `x-portkey-span-id`), the Portkey-specific headers take precedence.
</Note>

### baggage Header

The `baggage` header allows you to pass key-value metadata following the [W3C Baggage](https://www.w3.org/TR/baggage/) specification.

**Example:** `userId=alice,environment=production,requestType=chat`

When you send a request with the `baggage` header:

* Key-value pairs are parsed and merged into the request metadata
* Existing metadata (from `x-portkey-metadata` header) takes precedence over baggage values
* Values are URL-decoded automatically

## Enabling Tracing

You can enable tracing by passing the `trace tree` values while making your request (or while instantiating your client).

Based on these values, Portkey will instrument your requests, and will show the exact trace with its spans on the "Traces" view in Logs page.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    **Add tracing details to a single request (recommended)**

## Inserting Logs

If you are using the [Insert Log API](/portkey-endpoints/logs/insert-a-log) to add logs to Portkey, your `traceId`, `spanId` etc. will become part of the metadata object in your log, and Portkey will instrument your requests to take those values into account.

The logger endpoint supports inserting a single log as well as log array, and helps you build traces of any depth or complexity. For more, check here:

<Card title="Insert a Log" href="/portkey-endpoints/logs/insert-a-log" />

***

## Tracing for Gateway Features

Tracing also works very well to capture the Gateway behavior on retries, fallbacks, and other routing mechanisms on Portkey Gateway.

Portkey automatically groups all the requests that were part of a single fallback or retry config and shows the failed and succeeded requests chronologically as "spans" inside a "trace".

This is especially useful when you want to understand the total latency and behavior of your app when retry or fallbacks were triggered.

For more, check out the [Fallback](/product/ai-gateway/fallbacks) & [Automatic Retries](/product/ai-gateway/automatic-retries) docs.

***

## Why Use Tracing?

* **Cost Insights**: View aggregate LLM costs at the trace level.
* **Debugging**: Easily browse all requests in a single trace and identify failures.
* **Performance Analysis**: Understand your entire request lifecycle and total trace duration.
* **User Feedback Integration**: Link user feedback to specific traces for targeted improvements.

***

## Capturing User Feedback

Trace IDs can also be used to link user feedback to specific generations. This can be used in a system where users provide feedback, like a thumbs up or thumbs down, or something more complex via our feedback APIs. This feedback can be linked to traces which can span over a single generation or multiple ones. Read more here:

# Prompt Engineering Studio
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/prompt-engineering-studio



Effective prompt management is crucial for getting the most out of Large Language Models (LLMs). Portkey provides a comprehensive solution for creating, managing, versioning, and deploying prompts across your AI applications.

Portkey's Prompt Engineering Studio offers a robust ecosystem of tools to streamline your prompt engineering workflow:

* **Create and compare prompts** in the interactive Multimodal Playground
* **Version** your prompts for production use
* **Deploy** optimized prompts via simple API endpoints
* **Monitor performance** with built-in observability
* **Collaborate** with your team through shared prompt library

Whether you're experimenting with different prompts or managing them at scale in production, Prompt Engineering Studio provides the tools you need to build production ready AI applications.

<Note>
  You can easily access Prompt Engineering Studio using [https://prompt.new](https://prompt.new)
</Note>

## Setting Up AI Providers

Before you can create and manage prompts, you'll need to set up your [LLM integrations](/product/integrations). After configuring your keys, the respective AI providers become available for running and managing prompts.

Portkey supports over 1600+ models across all the major providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and many others. This allows you to build and test prompts across multiple models and providers from a single interface.

## [Prompt Playground & Templates](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-playground)

The [Prompt Playground](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-playground) is a complete Prompt Engineering IDE for crafting and testing prompts. It provides a rich set of features:

* **Run on any LLM**: Test your prompts across different models and providers to find the best fit for your use case
* **Multimodal support**: Input and analyze images alongside text in your prompts
* **Side-by-side comparisons**: Compare responses across 1600+ models or prompts in parallel
* **Tool integration**: Add and test custom [tools](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/tool-library) for more powerful interactions
* **Prompt templates**: Create dynamic prompts that can change based on the variables passed in
* **AI-assisted improvements**: Leverage AI to refine your prompts

The playground provides immediate feedback, allowing you to rapidly iterate on your prompt designs before deploying them to production. Once you're satisfied with a prompt, you can save it to the [prompt library](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-library) and use it in your code simply.

## [Prompt Versioning](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-versioning)

Prompt versioning allows you to maintain a history of your prompt changes and promote stable versions to production.
Any update on the saved prompt will create a new version. You can switch back to an older version anytime.

Versioning ensures you can safely experiment while maintaining stable prompts in production.

## [Prompt Library](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-library)

The Prompt Library is your central repository for managing all prompts across your organization. Within the library, you can organize prompts in folders, set access controls, and collaborate with team members. The library makes it easy to maintain a consistent prompt strategy across your applications and teams.

## [Prompt Partials](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-partial)

Prompt Partials allow you to create reusable components that can be shared across multiple prompts. These are especially useful for standard instructions or context that appears in multiple prompts. Partials help reduce duplication and maintain consistency in your prompt library.

## [Prompt Observability](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-observability)

Prompt Observability provides insights into how your prompts are performing in production through usage logs, performance metrics, and version comparison. These insights help you continuously improve your prompts based on real-world usage.

## [Prompt API](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-api)

The Prompt API allows you to integrate your saved prompts directly into your applications through Completions and Render endpoints. The API makes it simple to use your optimized prompts in production applications, with CRUD operations coming soon.

# Prompt API
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-api

Learn how to integrate Portkey's prompt templates directly into your applications using the Prompt API

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

The Portkey Prompts API allows you to seamlessly integrate your saved prompts directly into your applications. This powerful feature lets you separate prompt engineering from application code, making both easier to maintain while providing consistent, optimized prompts across your AI applications.

With the Prompt API, you can:

* Use versioned prompts in production applications
* Dynamically populate prompts with variables at runtime
* Override prompt parameters as needed without modifying the original templates
* Retrieve prompt details for use with provider-specific SDKs

## API Endpoints

Portkey offers two primary endpoints for working with saved prompts:

1. **Prompt Completions** (`/prompts/{promptId}/completions`) - Execute your saved prompt templates directly, receiving model completions
2. **Prompt Render** (`/prompts/{promptId}/render`) - Retrieve your prompt template with variables populated, without executing it

## Prompt Completions

The Completions endpoint is the simplest way to use your saved prompts in production. It handles the entire process - retrieving the prompt, applying variables, sending it to the appropriate model, and returning the completion.

### Making a Completion Request

        },
        max_tokens=250,
        presence_penalty=0.2
    )

    print(completion)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```javascript theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

    const portkey = new Portkey({

    });

    // Execute the prompt with provided variables
    const completion = await portkey.prompts.completions.create({

        variables: {
            "user_input": "Hello world"
        },
        max_tokens: 250,
        presence_penalty: 0.2
    });

    console.log(completion);

    )

    # Process the stream
    for chunk in completion:
        print(chunk)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Prompt Render

You can retrieve your saved prompts on Portkey using the `/prompts/$PROMPT_ID/render` endpoint. Portkey returns a JSON containing your prompt or messages body along with all the saved parameters that you can directly use in any request.

This is helpful if you are required to use provider SDKs and can not use the Portkey SDK in production. ([Example of how to use Portkey prompt templates with OpenAI SDK](/product/prompt-library/retrieve-prompts#using-the-render-output-in-a-new-request))

## Using the `Render` Endpoint/Method

1. Make a request to `https://api.portkey.ai/v1/prompts/$PROMPT_ID/render` with your prompt ID
2. Pass your Portkey API key with `x-portkey-api-key` in the header
3. Send up the variables in your payload with `{ "variables": { "VARIABLE_NAME": "VARIABLE_VALUE" } }`

That's it! See it in action:

## Updating Prompt Params While Retrieving the Prompt

If you want to change any model params (like `temperature`, `messages body` etc) while retrieving your prompt from Portkey, you can send the override params in your `render` payload.

Portkey will send back your prompt with overridden params, **without** making any changes to the saved prompt on Portkey.

## Using the `render` Output in a New Request

Here's how you can take the output from the `render` API and use it for making a call. We'll take example of OpenAI SDKs, but you can use it simlarly for any other provider SDK as well.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="OpenAI NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';
    import OpenAI from 'openai';

    // Retrieving the Prompt from Portkey

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
    })

    async function getPromptTemplate() {
        const render_response = await portkey.prompts.render({
            promptID: "PROMPT_ID",
            variables: { "movie":"Dune 2" }
        })
        return render_response.data;
    }

    // Making a Call to OpenAI with the Retrieved Prompt

    const openai = new OpenAI({
        apiKey: 'OPENAI_API_KEY',
        baseURL: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
        defaultHeaders: {
          'x-portkey-provider': 'openai',
          'x-portkey-api-key': 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        }
    });

    async function main() {
        const PROMPT_TEMPLATE = await getPromptTemplate();
        const chatCompletion = await openai.chat.completions.create(PROMPT_TEMPLATE);
        console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0]);
    }

    main();
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="OpenAI Python">
    ```py theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey
    from openai import OpenAI

    # Retrieving the Prompt from Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
    )

    render_response = portkey.prompts.render(
      prompt_id="PROMPT_ID",
      variables={ "movie":"Dune 2" }
    )

    PROMPT_TEMPLATE = render_response.data

    # Making a Call to OpenAI with the Retrieved Prompt

    openai = OpenAI(
        api_key = "OPENAI_API_KEY",
        base_url = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers = {
          'x-portkey-provider': 'openai',
          'x-portkey-api-key': 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        }
    )

    chat_complete = openai.chat.completions.create(**PROMPT_TEMPLATE)

    print(chat_complete.choices[0].message.content)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

# Prompt Observability
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-observability



Portkey's Prompt Observability provides comprehensive insights into how your prompts are performing in production. This feature allows you to track usage, monitor performance metrics, and analyze trends to continuously improve your prompts based on real-world usage.

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

## Overview

Prompt Observability gives you visibility into your prompt usage and performance through analytics dashboards, detailed logs, and template history. By monitoring these metrics, you can identify which prompts are performing well and which need optimization, helping you make data-driven decisions about your AI applications.

## Accessing Prompt Observability

You can access observability data in several ways:

1. **From the Prompt Template page**: View history and performance metrics for a specific prompt
2. **From the Analytics dashboard**: Filter analytics by prompt ID
3. **From the Logs section**: Filter logs by prompt ID to see detailed usage information

## Prompt Analytics

The Analytics dashboard provides high-level metrics for your prompts, showing important information like costs, token usage, latency, request volume, and user engagement. You can easily filter your prompts using `prompt-id` in the analytics dashboard.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

The dashboard enables you to understand trends in your prompt usage over time and identify potential opportunities for optimization. For more details on using the analytics dashboard and available filters, refer to Portkey's [Analytics documentation](/product/observability/analytics).

## Prompt Logs

The Logs section on Portkey's dashboard provides detailed information about each individual prompt call, giving you visibility into exactly how your prompts are being used in real-time. You can easily filter your prompts using `prompt-id` in the logs view.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Each log entry shows the timestamp, model used, request path, user, tokens consumed, cost, and status. This granular data helps you understand exactly how your prompts are performing in production and identify any issues that need attention.

For information on filtering and searching logs, refer to Portkey's [Logs documentation](/product/observability/logs).

<Note>
  **Render Calls**: Note that `prompts.render` API calls are not logged in the observability features. Only `prompts.completions` calls are tracked.
</Note>

## Prompt Template History

Each prompt template includes a "Recent" tab that shows the history of calls made using that specific template:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

This chronological view makes it easy to see how your template is being used and how it's performing over time. You can quickly access detailed information about each call directly from this history view.

The template history is particularly useful when you're iterating on a prompt design, as it allows you to see the immediate impact of your changes. Combined with [Prompt Versioning](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-versioning), this gives you a complete view of your prompt's evolution and performance.

## Next Steps

Now that you understand how to monitor your prompts, explore these related features:

* [Prompt Versioning](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-versioning) - Track changes to your prompts over time
* [Prompt API](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-api) - Integrate optimized prompts into your applications
* [Prompt Playground](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-playground) - Test and refine your prompts based on observability insights

# Prompt Partials
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-partial

With Prompt Partials, you can save your commonly used templates (which could be your instruction set, data structure explanation, examples etc.) separately from your prompts and flexibly incorporate them wherever required.

<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

Partials can also serve as a global variable store. You can define common variables that are used across multiple of your prompt templates and can reference or update them easily.

## Creating Partials

Partials are directly accessible from the Prompts Page in the [Prompt Engineering Studio](/product/prompt-engineering-studio):

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

You can create a new Partial and use it for any purpose in any of your prompt templates. For example, here's a prompt partial where we are separately storing the instructions:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Upon saving, each Partial generates a unique ID that you can use inside [prompt templates](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-playground#prompt-templates).

### Template Engine

Partials also follow the [Mustache template engine](https://mustache.github.io/) and let you easily handle data input at runtime by using tags.

Portkey supports `{{variable}}`, `{{#block}} <string> {{/block}}`, `{{^block}}` and other tags.

For more details on template syntax, check out the [Prompt Playground documentation](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-playground#supported-tags) which includes a comprehensive guide on how to use tags.

### Versioning

Portkey follows the same `Update` **&** `Publish` flow as prompt templates. You can keep updating the partial and save new versions, and choose to send any version to production using the `Publish` feature.

All the version history for any partial is available on the right column and any previous version can be restored to be `latest` or `published` to production easily. For more details on how versioning works, see the [Prompt Versioning](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-versioning) documentation.

## Using Partials

You can call Partials by their ID inside any prompt template by just starting to type `{{>`.

Portkey lists all of the available prompt partials with their names to help you easily pick:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

When a partial is incorporated in a template, all the variables/blocks defined are also rendered on the Prompt variables section:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

When a new Partial version is **Published**, your partial that is in use in any of the prompt templates also gets automatically updated.

### Using Different Versions of Partials

Similar to prompt templates, you can reference specific versions of your prompt partials in the playground. By default, when you use a partial, Portkey uses the published version, but you can specify any version you want.

To reference a specific version of a partial, use the following syntax:

```
{{>prompt-partial-id@version-number}}
```

For example:

```
{{>pp-instructions-123@5}}
```

This will use version 5 of the prompt partial with ID "pp-instructions-123".

**Note:** Unlike prompt templates, prompt partials do not support `labels`, `@latest`, `@published` for versioning. You can only reference partials by their version number, `@latest`, or the published version.

### Making a Prompt Completion Request

All the variables/tags defined inside the partial can now be directly called at the time of making a `prompts.completions` request:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
    })

    const response = portkey.prompts.completions.create({
        promptID: "pp-system-pro-34a60b",
        variables: {
            "user_query":"",
            "company":"",
            "product":"",
            "benefits":"",
            "phone number":"",
            "name":"",
            "device":"",
            "query":""
        }
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```py theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
    )

    response = portkey.prompts.completions.create(
        prompt_id="PROMPT_ID",
        variables={
            "user_query":"",
            "company":"",
            "product":"",
            "benefits":"",
            "phone number":"",
            "name":"",
            "device":"",
            "query":""
        }
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

For more details on integrating prompts in your application, see the [Prompt API documentation](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-api).

## Benefits of Using Partials

Using Prompt Partials offers several advantages for your AI applications:

1. **Reusability**: Create instructions once and use them across multiple prompts
2. **Consistency**: Ensure all prompts follow the same guidelines and structure
3. **Maintainability**: Update instructions in one place and have changes propagate everywhere
4. **Organization**: Keep your prompt library clean by separating reusable components
5. **Collaboration**: Enable team members to use standardized components in their prompts

## Best Practices for Prompt Partials

For optimal use of Prompt Partials:

* Use descriptive names for your partials to make them easy to identify
* Create partials for frequently used instructions, examples, or context
* Keep partials focused on a single purpose for better reusability
* Document your partials to help team members understand their purpose
* Use [Prompt Versioning](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-versioning) to track changes to your partials
* Consider creating specialized partials for different use cases (e.g., one for detailed instructions, another for examples)

## Common Use Cases for Partials

Prompt Partials are particularly useful for:

* **System Instructions**: Create standardized directives for your AI models
* **Example Sets**: Maintain collections of examples to guide model outputs
* **Context Blocks**: Store context information that can be reused across prompts

## What is the Prompt Playground?

Portkey's Prompt Playground is a place to compare, test and deploy perfect prompts for your AI application. It's where you experiment with different models, test variables, compare outputs, and refine your prompt engineering strategy before deploying to production.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Prompt Playground Interface" />
</Frame>

## Getting Started

When you first open the Playground, you'll see a clean interface with a few key components:

* A model selector where you can choose from 1600+ models across 20+ providers
* A messaging area where you'll craft your prompt
* A completion area where you'll see model responses

The beauty of the Playground is its simplicity - write a prompt, click "Generate Completion", and instantly see how the model responds.

### Crafting Your First Prompt

Creating a prompt is straightforward:

1. Select your model of choice - from OpenAI's GPT-4o to Anthropic's Claude or any model from your configured providers
2. Enter a system message (like "You're a helpful assistant")
3. Add your user message or query
4. Click "Generate Completion" to see the response

You can continue the conversation by adding more messages, helping you simulate real-world interactions with your AI.

### Using Prompt Templates in Your Application

Once you save a prompt in the Playground, you'll receive a `prompt ID` that you can use directly in your application code. This makes it easy to move from experimentation to production:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```ts theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
    })

    async function main() {
        // Call your saved prompt template using its ID
        const response = await portkey.prompts.completions.create({
            promptID: "pp-system-pro-34a60b",
        })

        console.log(response)
    }

    main()
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```py theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
    )

    # Call your saved prompt template using its ID
    response = portkey.prompts.completions.create(
        prompt_id="pp-system-pro-34a60b"
    )

    print(response)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

This approach allows you to separate prompt engineering from your application code, making both easier to maintain. For more details on integrating prompts in your applications, check out our [Prompt API](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-api) documentation.

### Comparing Models Side-by-Side

Wondering which model works best for your use case? The side-by-side comparison feature lets you see how different models handle the same prompt.

Click the "+ Compare" button to add another column, select a different model, and generate completions simultaneously. You will be able to see how each model responds to the same prompt, along with crucial metrics like latency, total tokens, and throughput helping you make informed decisions about which model to use in production.

You can run comparisons on the same prompt template by selecting the template from the "New Template" dropdown in the UI along with the versions button across multiple models. Once you figure out what is working, you can click on the "Update Prompt" button to update the prompt template with a new version. You can also compare different [prompt versions](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-versioning) by selecting the version from the UI.

The variables you define apply across all templates in the comparison, ensuring you're testing against identical inputs.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Enhancing Prompts with Tools

Some models support function calling, allowing the AI to request specific information or take actions. The Playground makes it easy to experiment with these capabilities.

Click "Add Tool" button to define functions the model can call. For example:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "type": "function",
  "function": {
    "name": "get_weather",
    "description": "Get current weather for a location",
    "parameters": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "location": {
          "type": "string",
          "description": "City and state, e.g., San Francisco, CA"
        }
      },
      "required": ["location"]
    }
  }
}
```

You can add multiple tools from the [tool library](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/tool-library) for the specific prompt template. You can also choose the parameter "tool\_choice" from the UI to control how the model uses the available tools.

This tool definition teaches the model how to request weather information for a specific location.

### Configuring Model Parameters

Each model offers various parameters that affect its output. Access these by clicking the "Parameters" button:

* **Temperature**: Controls randomness (lower = more deterministic)
* **Top P**: Alternative to temperature for controlling diversity
* **Max Tokens**: Limits response length
* **Response Format**: An important setting that allows users to define how they want the model to output. Currently there are 3 options:
  * Text (default free-form text)
  * JSON object (structured JSON response)
  * JSON schema (requires providing a schema in the menu to make the model conform to your exact structure)
* **Thinking Mode**: Reasoning models think before they answer, producing a long internal chain of thought before responding to the user. You can access to the model's reasoning/thinking process sent by the provider. This feature:
  * Is only available for select reasoning-capable models (like Claude 3.7 Sonnet)
  * Can be activated by checking the "Thinking" checkbox in the Parameters panel
  * Allows you to set a budget of tokens dedicated specifically to the thinking process (if the provider supports it)

And more... Experiment with these settings to find the perfect balance for your use case.

### Pretty Mode vs JSON Mode

The Playground offers two interface modes for working with prompts:

**Pretty Mode**

The default user-friendly interface with formatted messages and simple controls. This is ideal for most prompt engineering tasks and provides an intuitive way to craft and test prompts.

**JSON Mode**

For advanced users who need granular control, you can toggle to JSON mode by clicking the "JSON" button. This reveals the raw JSON structure of your prompt, allowing for precise editing and advanced configurations.

JSON mode is particularly useful when:

* Working with multimodal inputs like images
* Creating complex conditional logic
* Defining precise message structures
* Debugging API integration issues

You can switch between modes at any time using the toggle in the interface.

### Multimodality: Working with Images

For multimodal models that support images, you can upload images directly in the Playground using the 🧷 icon on the message input box.

Alternatively, you can use JSON mode to incorporate images using variables. Toggle from PRETTY to JSON mode using the button on the dashboard, then structure your prompt like this:

```json theme={"system"}
[
  {
    "content": [
      {
        "type": "text",
        "text": "You're a helpful assistant."
      }
    ],
    "role": "system"
  },
  {
    "role": "user",
    "content": [
        { "type": "text", "text": "what's in this image?" },
        {
          "type": "image_url",
          "image_url": {
            "url" : "{{your_image_url}}"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
]
```

Now you can pass the image URL as a variable in your prompt template, and the model will be able to analyze the image content.

# Prompt Templates

**Portkey uses** [**Mustache**](https://mustache.github.io/mustache.5.html) **under the hood to power the prompt templates.**

Mustache is a commonly used logic-less templating engine that follows a simple schema for defining variables and more.

With Mustache, prompt templates become even more extensible by letting you incorporate various `{{tags}}` in your prompt template and easily pass your data.

The most common usage of mustache templates is for `{{variables}}`, used to pass a value at runtime.

### Using Variables in Prompt Templates

Let's look at the following template:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

As you can see, `{{customer_data}}` and `{{chat_query}}` are defined as variables in the template and you can pass their value at runtime:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```ts theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey()

    async function main() {
        const response = await portkey.prompts.completions.create({
            promptID: "pp-hr-bot-5c8c6e",
            variables: {
                "customer_data":"",
                "chat_query":""
            }
        })

        console.log(response)
    }

    main()
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```py theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey()

    response = portkey.prompts.completions.create({
        prompt_id="pp-hr-bot-5c8c6e",
        variables= {

            "chat_query":""
        }
    })
    ```

### Using Variable Tags

You can directly pass your data object containing all the variable/tags info (in JSON) to Portkey's `prompts.completions` method with the `variables` property.

**For example, here's a [prompt partial](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-partial) containing the key instructions for an AI support bot:**

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

**And the prompt template uses the partial like this:**

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

**We can pass the data object inside the variables:**

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```ts theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
    })

    const data = {
        "company": "NESTLE",
        "product": "MAGGI",
        "benefits": "HEALTH",
        "phone number": "123456",
        "name": "Sheila",
        "device": "iOS",
        "query": "Product related",
        "test_variable":"Something unrelated" // Your data object can also contain unrelated variables
    }

    async function main() {
        // Make the prompt creation call with the variables
        const response = await portkey.prompts.completions.create({
            promptID: "pp-system-pro-34a60b",
            variables: {
                ...data,
                "user_query": "I ate Maggi and I think it was stale."
            }
        })

        console.log(response)
    }

    main()
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```py theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
    )

    data = {
        "company": "NESTLE",
        "product": "MAGGI",
        "benefits": "HEALTH",
        "phone number": "123456",
        "name": "Sheila",
        "device": "iOS",
        "query": "Product related",
        "test_variable": "Something unrelated"  # Your data object can also contain unrelated variables
    }

    # Make the prompt creation call with the variables
    response = portkey.prompts.completions.create(
        prompt_id="pp-system-pro-34a60b",
        variables={
            **data,
            "user_query": "I ate Maggi and I think it was stale."
        }
    )

    print(response)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## From Experiment to Production

Once you've crafted the perfect prompt, save it with a click of the "Save Prompt" button. Your prompt will be [versioned](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-versioning) automatically, allowing you to track changes over time.

Saved prompts can be:

* Called directly from your application using the [Prompt API](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-api)
* Shared with team members for collaboration through the [Prompt Library](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-library)
* Monitored for performance in production with [Prompt Observability](/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-observability)

## Next Steps

Now that you understand the basics of the Prompt Playground, you're ready to create powerful, dynamic prompts for your AI applications. Start by experimenting with different models and prompts to see what works best for your use case.

# Prompt Versioning & Labels
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/prompt-engineering-studio/prompt-versioning



<Info>
  This feature is available on all Portkey [plans](https://portkey.ai/pricing).
</Info>

Effective prompt management includes tracking changes, controlling access, and deploying the right version at the right time. Portkey's prompt versioning system helps you maintain a history of your prompt iterations while ensuring production stability.

## Understanding Prompt Versioning

Every time you make changes to a prompt template, Portkey tracks these modifications. The versioning system allows you to:

* Try and test different prompt variations
* Keep a complete history of all prompt changes
* Compare different versions
* Revert to previous versions when needed
* Deploy specific versions to different environments

**Updating vs. Publishing a Prompt Template**

When working with prompts in Portkey, it's important to understand the difference between updating and publishing:

* **Update**: When you edit a prompt, changes are saved as a new version but not pushed to production
* **Publish**: Making a specific version the "production" version that's used by default

## Managing Prompt Versions

### Creating New Versions

Whenever any changes are made to your prompt template, Portkey saves your changes in the browser **but** they are **not pushed** to production. You can click on the `Update` button on the top right to save the latest version of the prompt on Portkey.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Publishing Prompts

Publishing a prompt version marks it as the default version that will be used when no specific version is requested. This is especially important for production environments.

Updating the Prompt does not automatically update your prompt in production. While updating, you can tick `Publish prompt changes` which will also update your prompt deployment to the latest version.

1. Create and test your new prompt version
2. When ready for production, click "Update" and check "Publish prompt changes"
3. Portkey will save the new version and mark it as the published version
4. All default API calls will now use this version

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Viewing Version History

**All** of your prompt versions can be seen by clicking the `Version History` button on the playground:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

You can `Restore` or `Publish` any of the previous versions by clicking on the ellipsis menu.

### Comparing Versions

To compare different versions of your prompt:

1. Select the versions you want to compare from the version history panel
2. Click "Compare on playground" to see a side-by-side of different prompt versions

This helps you understand how prompts have evolved and which changes might have impacted performance.

## Using Different Prompt Versions

By default, when you pass the `PROMPT_ID` in `prompts.completions.create` method, Portkey sends the request to the `Published` version of your prompt.

You can also call any specific prompt version by appending version identifiers to your `PROMPT_ID`.

### Version Number References

**For example:**

```js theme={"system"}
response = portkey.prompts.completions.create(
    prompt_id="pp-classification-prompt@12",
    variables={ }
)
```

Here, the request is sent to **Version 12** of the prompt template.

### Special Version References

Portkey supports special version references:

```js theme={"system"}
// Latest version (may not be published)
response = portkey.prompts.completions.create(
    prompt_id="pp-classification-prompt@latest",
    variables={ }
)

// Published version (default when no suffix is provided)
response = portkey.prompts.completions.create(
    prompt_id="pp-classification-prompt",
    variables={ }
)
```

**Important Notes:**

* `@latest` refers to the most recent version, regardless of publication status
* When no suffix is provided, Portkey defaults to the `Published` version
* Each version is immutable once created - to make changes, you must create a new version

## Prompt Labels

Labels provide a more flexible and meaningful way to reference prompt versions compared to version numbers. You can add version tags/labels like `platform-team`, `gpt-model-prompt` to any prompt version to track changes and call them directly:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Using Labels in Your Code

<CodeGroup>
  ```ts @staging {2} theme={"system"}
  const promptCompletion = portkey.prompts.completions.create({
      promptID: "pp-article-xx@staging",
      variables: {"":""}
  })
  ```

  ```ts @develpoment {2} theme={"system"}
  const promptCompletion = portkey.prompts.completions.create({
      promptID: "pp-article-xx@development",
      variables: {"":""}
  })
  ```

  ```ts @production {2} theme={"system"}
  const promptCompletion = portkey.prompts.completions.create({
      promptID: "pp-article-xx@production",
      variables: {"":""}
  })
  ```

  ```ts @lorem-ipsum {2} theme={"system"}
  const promptCompletion = portkey.prompts.completions.create({
      promptID: "pp-article-xx@lorem-ipsum",
      variables: {"":""}
  })
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Creating and Managing Labels

To create or manage labels:

1. Navigate to the prompt version sidebar
2. Click on "Labels" to view all available labels
3. Select a version and apply the desired label
4. You can move labels between versions as needed

<Note>
  You can now assign multiple custom labels to a single prompt version in Portkey. This makes it easier to promote a prompt version in it's developemtn cycle.
</Note>

<Info>
  * There are 3 default labels: `production`, `staging`, `development` which cannot be removed.
  * Custom labels are unique to the workspace where they are created.
  * If you delete a custom label, any prompt completion requests to that label will start failing.
</Info>

### Best Practices for Using Labels

* Use `development` for experimental versions
* Use `staging` for versions ready for testing
* Use `production` for versions ready for real users
* Create custom labels for specific use cases or experiments

Labels make it easy for you to test prompt versions through different environments.

# AI21
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/ai21

Integrate AI21 models with Portkey's AI Gateway

Portkey provides a robust and secure gateway to integrate various Large Language Models (LLMs) into applications, including [AI21's models](https://ai21.com).

With Portkey, take advantage of features like fast AI gateway access, observability, prompt management, and more, while securely managing API keys through [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog).

## Quick Start

Get AI21 working in 3 steps:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  # 1. Install: pip install portkey-ai
  # 2. Add @ai21 provider in model catalog
  # 3. Use it:

  portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")

  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="@ai21/jamba-1-5-large",
      messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}]
  )

  print(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```js Javascript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
          import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

  // 1. Install: npm install portkey-ai
  // 2. Add @ai21 provider in model catalog
  // 3. Use it:

          const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
  })

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      model: "@ai21/jamba-1-5-large",
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Say this is a test" }]
  })

  console.log(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```python OpenAI Py icon="openai" theme={"system"}
  from openai import OpenAI
  from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

  # 1. Install: pip install openai portkey-ai
  # 2. Add @ai21 provider in model catalog
  # 3. Use it:

  client = OpenAI(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Portkey API key
      base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
  )

  response = client.chat.completions.create(
      model="@ai21/jamba-1-5-large",
      messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}]
  )

  print(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```js OpenAI JS icon="openai" theme={"system"}
  import OpenAI from "openai"
  import { PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from "portkey-ai"

  // 1. Install: npm install openai portkey-ai
  // 2. Add @ai21 provider in model catalog
  // 3. Use it:

  const client = new OpenAI({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",  // Portkey API key
      baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
  })

  const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
      model: "@ai21/jamba-1-5-large",
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Say this is a test" }]
  })

  console.log(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```sh cURL icon="square-terminal" theme={"system"}
  # 1. Add @ai21 provider in model catalog
  # 2. Use it:

  curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -d '{
      "model": "@ai21/jamba-1-5-large",
      "messages": [
        { "role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test" }
      ]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  **Tip:** You can also set `provider="@ai21"` in `Portkey()` and use just `model="jamba-1-5-large"` in the request.
</Note>

## Add Provider in Model Catalog

1. Go to [**Model Catalog → Add Provider**](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog/providers)
2. Select **AI21**
3. Choose existing credentials or create new by entering your [AI21 API key](https://studio.ai21.com/account/api-key)
4. Name your provider (e.g., `ai21-prod`)

<Card title="Complete Setup Guide →" href="/product/model-catalog">
  See all setup options, code examples, and detailed instructions
</Card>

## Managing AI21 Prompts

Manage all prompt templates to AI21 in the [Prompt Library](/product/prompt-library). All current AI21 models are supported, and you can easily test different prompts.

Use the `portkey.prompts.completions.create` interface to use the prompt in an application.

<Note>
  **Tip:** You can also set `provider="@anthropic"` in `Portkey()` and use just `model="claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929"` in the request.
</Note>

* **`max_tokens` is required** - Always specify this parameter
* **System prompts** - Handled differently (see System Prompts section below)
* **Model naming** - Use full model names like `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929`

## Add Provider in Model Catalog

1. Go to [**Model Catalog → Add Provider**](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog/providers)
2. Select **Anthropic**
3. Choose existing credentials or create new by entering your [Anthropic API key](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys)
4. Name your provider (e.g., `anthropic-prod`)

  console.log(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### System Prompts

Anthropic handles system prompts differently than OpenAI. With Portkey, you can use the OpenAI-compatible format:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="@anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
      messages=[
          {"role": "system", "content": "You are a snarky assistant."},
          {"role": "user", "content": "How do I boil water?"}
      ],
      max_tokens=250
  )
  ```

  ```js Javascript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      model: "@anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
      messages: [
          { role: "system", content: "You are a snarky assistant." },
          { role: "user", content: "How do I boil water?" }
      ],
      max_tokens: 250
  })
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Portkey automatically formats this for Anthropic's API.

### Streaming

Streaming works the same as OpenAI:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="@anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
      messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a story"}],
      max_tokens=500,
      stream=True
  )

  for chunk in response:
      if chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
          print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="")
  ```

  ```js Javascript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      model: "@anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Tell me a story" }],
      max_tokens: 500,
      stream: true
  })

  for await (const chunk of response) {
      if (chunk.choices[0].delta.content) {
          process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0].delta.content)
      }
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Advanced Features

### Vision (Multimodal)

Portkey supports Anthropic's vision models including `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929`, `claude-3-5-sonnet`, `claude-3-haiku`, `claude-3-opus`, and `claude-3.7-sonnet`. Use the same format as OpenAI:

<Note>
  Anthropic **only accepts base64-encoded images** and does not support image URLs. Use the same base64 format to send images to both Anthropic and OpenAI models.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
  import base64
  import httpx
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")

  # Fetch and encode the image
  image_url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Camponotus_flavomarginatus_ant.jpg"
  image_data = base64.b64encode(httpx.get(image_url).content).decode("utf-8")

  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="@anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
      messages=[{
          "role": "user",
          "content": [
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": f"data:image/jpeg;base64,{image_data}"}},
              {"type": "text", "text": "What's in this image?"}
          ]
      }],
      max_tokens=300
  )

  print(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```js Javascript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'
  import axios from 'axios'

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
  })

  // Fetch and encode the image
  const imageUrl = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Camponotus_flavomarginatus_ant.jpg"
  const imageResponse = await axios.get(imageUrl, { responseType: 'arraybuffer' })
  const imageBase64 = Buffer.from(imageResponse.data).toString('base64')

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      model: "@anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
      messages: [{
          role: "user",
          content: [
              { type: "image_url", image_url: { url: `data:image/jpeg;base64,${imageBase64}` } },
              { type: "text", text: "What's in this image?" }
          ]
      }],
      max_tokens: 300
  })

  console.log(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  To prompt with PDFs, update the `url` field to: `data:application/pdf;base64,BASE64_PDF_DATA`
</Note>

          }
      ]
  })

  console.log(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Extended Thinking (Reasoning Models)

Models like `claude-3-7-sonnet-latest` support [extended thinking](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/extended-thinking#streaming-extended-thinking). Get the model's reasoning as it processes the request.

<Note>
  The assistant's thinking response is returned in the `response_chunk.choices[0].delta.content_blocks` array, not the `response.choices[0].message.content` string.
</Note>

Set `strict_open_ai_compliance=False` to use this feature:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      strict_open_ai_compliance=False
  )

  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="@anthropic/claude-3-7-sonnet-latest",
      max_tokens=3000,
      thinking={"type": "enabled", "budget_tokens": 2030},
      stream=False,
      messages=[{
          "role": "user",
          "content": [{
              "type": "text",
              "text": "when does the flight from new york to bengaluru land tomorrow, what time, what is its flight number, and what is its baggage belt?"
          }]
      }]
  )

  print(response)
  ```

  ```js Javascript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      strictOpenAiCompliance: false
  })

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      model: "@anthropic/claude-3-7-sonnet-latest",
      max_tokens: 3000,
      thinking: { type: "enabled", budget_tokens: 2030 },
      stream: false,
      messages: [{
          role: "user",
          content: [{
              type: "text",
              text: "when does the flight from new york to bengaluru land tomorrow, what time, what is its flight number, and what is its baggage belt?"
          }]
      }]
  })

  console.log(response)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Using /messages Route

Portkey supports Anthropic's `/messages` endpoint, allowing you to use either Anthropic's native SDK or Portkey's SDK with full gateway features.

#### Using Anthropic's Native SDK

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Anthropic Py theme={"system"}
  import anthropic

  client = anthropic.Anthropic(
      api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      base_url="https://api.portkey.ai"
  )

  message = client.messages.create(
      model="@your-provider-slug/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
      max_tokens=250,
      messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude"}]
  )

  print(message.content)
  ```

  ```typescript Anthropic TS theme={"system"}
  import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk'

  const anthropic = new Anthropic({
      apiKey: "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai"
  })

  const msg = await anthropic.messages.create({
      model: "@your-provider-slug/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
      max_tokens: 1024,
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello, Claude" }]
  })

  console.log(msg)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

#### Using Portkey's SDK

```sh cURL icon="square-terminal" theme={"system"}
curl --location 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/messages' \
--header 'x-portkey-provider: anthropic' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'x-portkey-api-key: YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY' \
--data-raw '{
    "model": "@your-provider-slug/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
    "max_tokens": 1024,
    "stream": true,
    "messages": [
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "What is the weather like in Chennai?"
        }
    ]
}'
```

<Note>
  You can use all Portkey features (like caching, observability, configs) with this route. Just add the `x-portkey-config`, `x-portkey-provider`, `x-portkey-...` headers.
</Note>

### Prompt Caching

Portkey works with Anthropic's prompt caching feature to save time and money. Refer to this guide:

<Card title="Prompt Caching" href="/integrations/llms/anthropic/prompt-caching">
  Learn how to enable prompt caching for Anthropic requests
</Card>

### Beta Features

Portkey supports Anthropic's beta features through headers. Pass the beta feature name as the value:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  client = Portkey(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      provider="@anthropic",
      anthropic_beta="token-efficient-tools-2025-02-19",
      strict_open_ai_compliance=False
  )
  ```

  ```js Javascript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      provider: "@anthropic",
      anthropicBeta: "token-efficient-tools-2025-02-19",
      strictOpenAiCompliance: false
  })
  ```

  ```sh cURL icon="square-terminal" theme={"system"}
  x-portkey-anthropic-beta: "token-efficient-tools-2025-02-19"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Managing Anthropic Prompts

Manage all prompt templates to Anthropic in the [Prompt Library](/product/prompt-library). All current Anthropic models are supported, and you can easily test different prompts.

Use the `portkey.prompts.completions.create` interface to use the prompt in an application.

# Count Tokens
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/anthropic/count-tokens



Portkey supports the [token counting endpoint from anthropic](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/token-counting) across vertex-ai, bedrock and anthropic in the same format. This allows use to use claude code and any other tooling with the same API signature across providers.

# Examples

<CodeGroup>
  ```py Python theme={"system"}
  import anthropic

  client = anthropic.Anthropic(
      api_key="dummy", # we will use portkey's provider slug
      default_headers={"x-portkey-api-key": "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"},
      base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
  )

  response = client.messages.count_tokens(
      model="@your-provider-slug/your-model-name",
      system="You are a scientist",
      messages=[{
          "role": "user",
          "content": "Hello, Claude"
      }],
  )

  print(response.json())
  ```

  ```ts TypeScript theme={"system"}
  import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk';

  const client = new Anthropic({
    apiKey: 'dummy', // we will use portkey's provider slug
    baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    defaultHeaders: { "x-portkey-api-key": "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" }
  });

  const response = await client.messages.countTokens({
    model: '@your-provider-slug/your-model-name',
    system: 'You are a scientist',
    messages: [{
      role: 'user',
      content: 'Hello, Claude'
    }]
  });

  console.log(response);
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/messages/count_tokens \
      --header "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      --header "content-type: application/json" \
      --data '{
        "model": "@your-provider-slug/your-model-name",
        "system": "You are a scientist",
        "messages": [{
          "role": "user",
          "content": "Hello, Claude"
        }]
      }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Prompt Caching
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/anthropic/prompt-caching



Prompt caching on Anthropic lets you cache individual messages in your request for repeat use. With caching, you can free up your tokens to include more context in your prompt, and also deliver responses significantly faster and cheaper.

You can use this feature on our OpenAI-compliant universal API as well as with our prompt templates.

## API Support

Just set the `cache_control` param in your respective message body:

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript NodeJS theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
      provider:"@PROVIDER"
  })

  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [
          { "role": 'system', "content": [

              {
                  "type":"text","text":"<TEXT_TO_CACHE>",
                  "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"}
              }
          ]},
          { "role": "user", "content": "Summarize the above story for me in 20 words" }
      ]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Prompt Templates Support

Set any message in your prompt template to be cached by just toggling the `Cache Control` setting in the UI:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

<Note>
  Anthropic currently has certain restrictions on prompt caching, like:

  * Cache TTL is set at **5 minutes** and can not be changed
  * The message you are caching needs to cross minimum length to enable this feature
    * 1024 tokens for Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Claude 3 Opus
    * 2048 tokens for Claude 3 Haiku
</Note>

For more, refer to Anthropic's prompt caching documentation [here](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-caching).

## Seeing Cache Results in Portkey

Portkey automatically calculates the correct pricing for your prompt caching requests & responses based on Anthropic's calculations here:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Anthropic's pricing calculations" />
</Frame>

In the individual log for any request, you can also see the exact status of your request and verify if it was cached, or delivered from cache with two `usage` parameters:

* `cache_creation_input_tokens`: Number of tokens written to the cache when creating a new entry.
* `cache_read_input_tokens`: Number of tokens retrieved from the cache for this request.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Cache status in Portkey logs" />
</Frame>

<Info>
  **Understanding Token Counts with Caching**

  Portkey normalizes Anthropic's response to the OpenAI format. In this format, `prompt_tokens` **includes** the cached tokens:

  ```
  prompt_tokens = inputTokens + cache_read_input_tokens + cache_creation_input_tokens
  ```

  This differs from Anthropic's native format where `inputTokens` excludes cached tokens. Portkey's pricing calculation accounts for this by:

  1. Subtracting cached tokens from `prompt_tokens` to get the base input token count
  2. Applying the standard input token rate to base tokens
  3. Applying the discounted cache read rate to `cache_read_input_tokens`
  4. Applying the cache write rate to `cache_creation_input_tokens`

  This ensures accurate cost calculation even though the token format is normalized.

## Add Provider in Model Catalog

To integrate Azure AI Foundry with Portkey, you'll create a provider in the Model Catalog. This securely stores your Azure AI Foundry credentials, allowing you to use a simple identifier in your code instead of handling sensitive authentication details directly.

<Card href="/integrations/llms/azure-openai" title="OpenAI models on Azure">
  If you're specifically looking to use OpenAI models on Azure, you should use [Azure OpenAI](/integrations/llms/azure-openai) instead, which is optimized for OpenAI models.
</Card>

***

### Understanding Azure AI Foundry Deployments

Azure AI Foundry offers three different ways to deploy models, each with unique endpoints and configurations:

1. **AI Services**: Azure-managed models accessed through Azure AI Services endpoints
2. **Managed**: User-managed deployments running on dedicated Azure compute resources
3. **Serverless**: Seamless, scalable deployment without managing infrastructure

You can learn more about the Azure AI Foundry deployment [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-foundry/concepts/deployments-overview).

***

## Creating Your Azure AI Foundry Provider

Integrate Azure AI Foundry with Portkey to centrally manage your AI models and deployments. This guide walks you through setting up the provider using API key authentication.

### Prerequisites

Before creating your provider, you'll need:

* An active Azure AI Foundry account
* Access to your Azure AI Foundry portal
* A deployed model on Azure Foundry

### Step 1: Navigate to Model Catalog

Go to [**Model Catalog → Add Provider**](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog/providers) and select **Azure AI Foundry** as your provider.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Creating Azure AI Foundry Provider" />
</Frame>

### Step 2: Configure Provider Details

Fill in the basic information for your provider:

* **Name**: A descriptive name for this provider (e.g., "Azure AI Production")
* **Short Description**: Optional context about this provider's purpose
* **Slug**: A unique identifier used in API calls (e.g., "@azure-ai-prod")

  <Frame>
    <img />
  </Frame>

### Step 3: Set Up Authentication

Portkey supports three authentication methods for Azure AI Foundry. For most use cases, we recommend using the **Default (API Key)** method.

**Base Model**: Choose the model that matches your deployment's API structure (e.g., select `gpt-4` for GPT-4 deployments)

<Note>
  This is just for reference. If you can't find the particular model, you can just choose a similar model.
</Note>

**Custom Pricing**: Enable to track costs with your negotiated rates

Once configured, this model will be available alongside others in your provider, allowing you to manage multiple Azure deployments through a single set of credentials.

## Using Anthropic Models on Azure AI Foundry

Azure AI Foundry supports Anthropic models (Claude) through a slightly different configuration process. Follow these steps to integrate Anthropic models with Portkey.

### Step 1: Create an Azure Foundry Provider

When creating the provider for Anthropic models, you'll need to configure the following:

1. **Azure API Key**: Copy this from your Azure Foundry console
2. **Azure Target URI**: From your Foundry console, you'll get a URL like:

   ```
   https://resource-name-swedencentral.services.ai.azure.com/anthropic/v1/messages
   ```

   You need to strip your URL till `/anthropic`:

   ```
   https://resource-name-swedencentral.services.ai.azure.com/anthropic
   ```

<Note>
  For Anthropic models on Azure Foundry, you don't need to provide the **Azure API Version** or **Deployment Name** fields.
</Note>

### Step 2: Configure Workspace Provisioning

After setting up the provider credentials, proceed with the workspace provisioning step as usual.

### Step 3: Add Your Anthropic Model

In the **Model Provisioning** step:

1. Click the **+ Add Model** button at the top
2. Configure the model with these details:
   * **Model Slug**: Enter your deployment name from the Azure Foundry console
   * **Base Model**: Search for and select your Anthropic model (e.g., `claude-opus-4-5-20251101`, `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929`, `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001`, `claude-opus-4-1-20250805`)
3. Save the configuration

### Making Requests to Anthropic Models

Once configured, you can call your Anthropic model using the Model Slug you saved:

## Portkey Gateway Features

Portkey provides advanced gateway features for Azure AI Foundry deployments:

### Fallbacks

Create fallback configurations to ensure reliability when working with Azure AI Foundry models:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider":"@azure-foundry-virtual-key",
      "override_params": {
        "model": "DeepSeek-V3-0324"
      }
    },
    {
      "provider":"@openai-virtual-key",
      "override_params": {
        "model": "gpt-4o"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

### Load Balancing

Distribute requests across multiple models for optimal performance:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider":"@azure-foundry-virtual-key-1",
      "override_params": {
        "model": "DeepSeek-V3-0324"
      },
      "weight": 0.7
    },
    {
      "provider":"@azure-foundry-virtual-key-2",
      "override_params": {
        "model": "cohere-command-a"
      },
      "weight": 0.3
    }
  ]
}
```

### Conditional Routing

Route requests based on specific conditions like user type or content requirements:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "conditional",
    "conditions": [
      {
        "query": { "metadata.user_type": { "$eq": "premium" } },
        "then": "high-performance-model"
      },
      {
        "query": { "metadata.content_type": { "$eq": "code" } },
        "then": "code-specialized-model"
      }
    ],
    "default": "standard-model"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "name": "high-performance-model",
      "provider":"@azure-foundry-virtual-key-1",
      "override_params": {
        "model": "Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E"
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "code-specialized-model",
      "provider":"@azure-foundry-virtual-key-2",
      "override_params": {
        "model": "DeepSeek-V3-0324"
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "standard-model",
      "provider":"@azure-foundry-virtual-key-3",
      "override_params": {
        "model": "cohere-command-a"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

***

## Managing Prompts

You can manage all prompts to Azure AI Foundry in the [Prompt Library](/product/prompt-library). Once you've created and tested a prompt in the library, use the `portkey.prompts.completions.create` interface to use the prompt in your application.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
  prompt_completion = portkey.prompts.completions.create(
      prompt_id="Your Prompt ID",
      variables={
         # The variables specified in the prompt
      }
  )
  ```

  ```js Javascript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
  const promptCompletion = await portkey.prompts.completions.create({
      promptID: "Your Prompt ID",
      variables: {
         // The variables specified in the prompt
      }
  })

# Azure OpenAI
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/azure-openai/azure-openai

Azure OpenAI is a great alternative to accessing the best models including GPT-4 and more in your private environments. Portkey provides complete support for Azure OpenAI.

With Portkey, you can take advantage of features like fast AI gateway access, observability, prompt management, and more, all while ensuring the secure management of your LLM API keys through [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog).

## Portkey SDK Integration with Azure OpenAI

Portkey provides a consistent API to interact with models from various providers. To integrate Azure OpenAI with Portkey:

# Creating Your Azure OpenAI Integration

<Note>
  This integration is for all OpenAI models deployed on either Azure OpenAI or Azure AI Foundry.
</Note>

Integrate Azure OpenAI models with Portkey to centrally manage your AI models and deployments. This guide walks you through setting up the integration using API key authentication.

## Prerequisites

Before creating your integration, you'll need:

* An active [Azure account](https://ai.azure.com)
* Access to your Azure portal
* A model deployment on Azure (e.g., GPT-4, GPT-4o-mini)

## Step 1: Start Creating Your Integration

Navigate to the Integrations page in your Portkey dashboard and select **Azure OpenAI** as your provider.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Creating Azure OpenAI Integration" />
</Frame>

## Step 2: Configure Integration Details

Fill in the basic information for your integration:

* **Name**: A descriptive name for this integration (e.g., "Azure OpenAI Production")
* **Short Description**: Optional context about this integration's purpose
* **Slug**: A unique identifier used in API calls (e.g., "azure-openai-prod")

## Step 3: Set Up Authentication

Portkey supports three authentication methods for Azure OpenAI. For most use cases, we recommend using the **Default (API Key)** method.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Complete Integration Form" />
</Frame>

### Gather Your Azure Credentials

From your Azure portal, you'll need to collect:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Azure Portal Overview" />
</Frame>

### Enter Credentials in Portkey

1. Navigate to your model deployment in Azure
2. Click on the deployment to view details
3. Copy the **API Key** from the authentication section

<Note>
  We recommend importing your Azure details (resource name, deployment details, API version) directly from your Target URI. Simply copy the target URL and import it.

  <Frame>
    <img alt="Import from Target URI" />
  </Frame>
</Note>

4. **Azure Resource Name**: Get Your resource Name from Azure

<Accordion title="Find Your Azure Resource Name">
  Your  Azure resource Name is different from your Project Name. Here's how you can find it:

  <Frame>
    <img alt="Azure Resource Name" />
  </Frame>

  <Tabs>
    <Tab title="Azure AI Foundry">
      <Frame>
        <img alt="Azure AI Foundry Configuration" />
      </Frame>
    </Tab>

    <Tab title="Azure OpenAI">
      <Frame>
        <img alt="Azure OpenAI Configuration" />
      </Frame>
    </Tab>
  </Tabs>
</Accordion>

4. Note the **API Version** and enter it in the given field
5. **Alias Name**: A Portkey-specific field for accessing the model - name it as you prefer
6. **Foundation Model**: Select a foundation model from the list that matches your deployment. This helps Portkey track costs and metrics. If your model isn't listed, choose a similar model type to begin with.

## Adding Multiple Models to Your Azure OpenAI Integration

You can deploy multiple models through a single Azure OpenAI integration by adding multiple deployments under the same integration.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Add Multiple Models" />
</Frame>

Follow the same steps as above for each additional model deployment.

### 1. Install the Portkey SDK

Add the Portkey SDK to your application to interact with Azure OpenAI's API through Portkey's gateway.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    npm install --save portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    pip install portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Initialize Portkey with the Azure

Set up Portkey with your Azure Integration as part of the initialization configuration. You can create a [provider](/product/model-catalog) for Azure in the Portkey UI.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
        provider:"@AZURE_PROVIDER" // Your Azure Provider Slug
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
        provider="@AZURE_PROVIDER"   # Replace with your Provider slug for Azure
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### **3. Invoke Chat Completions with Azure OpenAI**

Use the Portkey instance to send requests to your Azure deployments. You can also override the provider slug directly in the API call if needed.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}

## Managing Azure OpenAI Prompts

You can manage all prompts to Azure OpenAI in the [Prompt Library](/product/prompt-library). All the current models of OpenAI are supported and you can easily start testing different prompts.

Once you're ready with your prompt, you can use the `portkey.prompts.completions.create` interface to use the prompt in your application.

## Image Generation

Portkey supports multiple modalities for Azure OpenAI and you can make image generation requests through Portkey's AI Gateway the same way as making completion calls.

  <Tab title="Portkey NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider:"@DALL-E_PROVIDER" // Referencing a Dall-E Azure deployment with Provider Slug
    })

    const image = await portkey.images.generate({
      prompt:"Lucy in the sky with diamonds",
      size:"1024x1024"
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Portkey Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@DALL-E_PROVIDER"   # Referencing a Dall-E Azure deployment with Provider Slug
    )

    image = portkey.images.generate(
      prompt="Lucy in the sky with diamonds",
      size="1024x1024"
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Portkey's fast AI gateway captures the information about the request on your Portkey Dashboard. On your logs screen, you'd be able to see this request with the request and response.

## Azure Government Cloud

<Note>
  Integration is identical to global Azure OpenAI. Set a Custom Host that points to Azure Government and ensure the path ends with `/openai` (remove any params after `/openai`).
</Note>

### Steps

1. In Portkey, create or edit your Azure OpenAI provider.
2. Open "Advanced Options".
3. Set "Custom Host" to:
   ```text theme={"system"}
   https://{your-azure-resource-name}.openai.azure.us/openai
   ```

<Note>
  You need to set the Custom Host to the Azure Government endpoint and ensure the path ends with the first `/openai` (remove any params after `/openai`).
</Note>

4. Save and use normally in SDKs and via the gateway.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Configure Custom Host for Azure Government" />

For Azure Government vs global differences and endpoints, see: [Compare Azure Government and global Azure](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-government/compare-azure-government-global-azure).

## Making Requests Without Model Catalog

Here's how you can pass your Azure OpenAI details & secrets directly without using the Model Catalog feature.

### Key Mapping

In a typical Azure OpenAI request,

```sh theme={"system"}
curl https://{YOUR_RESOURCE_NAME}.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/{YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME}/chat/completions?api-version={API_VERSION} \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "api-key: {YOUR_API_KEY}" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "system",
        "content": "You are a helpful assistant"
      },
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "what is a portkey?"
      }
    ]
}'
```

| Parameter             | Node SDK                   | Python SDK                  | REST Headers                  |

| API VERSION           | azureApiVersion            | azure\_api\_version         | x-portkey-azure-api-version   |
| AZURE API KEY         | Authorization: "Bearer + " | Authorization = "Bearer + " | Authorization                 |

### How to Pass JWT (JSON Web Tokens)

If you have configured fine-grained access for Azure OpenAI and need to use `JSON web token (JWT)` in the `Authorization` header instead of the regular `API Key`, you can use the `forwardHeaders` parameter to do this.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Node">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider: "azure-openai",
        azureResourceName: "AZURE_RESOURCE_NAME",
        azureDeploymendId: "AZURE_DEPLOYMENT_NAME",
        azureApiVersion: "AZURE_API_VERSION",
        azureModelName: "AZURE_MODEL_NAME",
        Authorization: "Bearer JWT_KEY", // Pass your JWT here
        forwardHeaders: [ "Authorization" ]
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider = "azure-openai",
        azure_resource_name = "AZURE_RESOURCE_NAME",
        azure_deploymend_id = "AZURE_DEPLOYMENT_NAME",
        azure_api_version = "AZURE_API_VERSION",
        azure_model_name = "AZURE_MODEL_NAME",
        Authorization = "Bearer API_KEY", # Pass your JWT here

# Batches
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/azure-openai/batches

Perform batch inference with Azure OpenAI

With Portkey, you can perform [Azure OpenAI Batch Inference](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/batch?tabs=global-batch%2Cstandard-input%2Cpython-secure\&pivots=rest-api) operations.
This is the most efficient way to

* Test your data with different foundation models
* Perform A/B testing with different foundation models
* Perform batch inference with different foundation models

<Info>
  Portkey supports **two modes** on Azure OpenAI:

  * **[Provider Batch API](#using-azure-openai-batch-api-through-portkey)** (cheapest, completion\_window: `24h`, `48h`, etc.)
  * **[Portkey Batch API](/product/ai-gateway/batches#portkey-batch-api-mode)** (fast, provider-agnostic, completion\_window: `immediate`)
</Info>

# AWS Bedrock
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/bedrock/aws-bedrock



Portkey provides a robust and secure gateway to facilitate the integration of various Large Language Models (LLMs) into your applications, including models hosted on AWS Bedrock.

With Portkey, you can take advantage of features like fast AI gateway access, observability, prompt management, and more, all while ensuring the secure management of your LLM API keys through [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog).

## Portkey SDK Integration with AWS Bedrock

Portkey provides a consistent API to interact with models from various providers. To integrate Bedrock with Portkey:

### 1. Install the Portkey SDK

Add the Portkey SDK to your application to interact with Anthropic's API through Portkey's gateway.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    npm install --save portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    pip install portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Initialize Portkey with the Bedrock Provider

There are two ways to integrate AWS Bedrock with Portkey:

    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

#### Using Bedrock Provider with AWS STS

If you're using [AWS Security Token Service](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/welcome.html), you can pass your `aws_session_token` along with the AI Provider slug:

#### Not using Bedrock Provider from Model Catalog?

[Check out this example on how you can directly use your AWS details to make a Bedrock request through Portkey.](/integrations/llms/bedrock/aws-bedrock#making-requests-without-using-portkey%E2%80%99s-model-catalog)

### **3. Invoke Chat Completions with AWS bedrock**

Use the Portkey instance to send requests to Anthropic. You can also override the provider slug directly in the API call if needed.

## Using the /messages Route with Bedrock Models

Access Bedrock's Claude models through Anthropic's native`/messages` endpoint using Portkey's SDK or Anthropic's SDK.

<Note>
  This route only works with Claude models on Bedrock. For other models, use the standard OpenAI compliant endpoint.

<Card title="Counting Tokens" href="/integrations/llms/bedrock/count-tokens">
  Portkey supports the [AWS Bedrock CountTokens API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_runtime_CountTokens.html) to estimate token usage before sending requests. Check out the count-tokens guide for more details.
</Card>

## Using Vision Models

Portkey's multimodal Gateway fully supports Bedrock's vision models `anthropic.claude-3-sonnet`, `anthropic.claude-3-haiku`, and `anthropic.claude-3-opus`

For more info, check out this guide:

[Vision](/product/ai-gateway/multimodal-capabilities/vision)

## Extended Thinking (Reasoning Models) (Beta)

<Note>
  The assistants thinking response is returned in the `response_chunk.choices[0].delta.content_blocks` array, not the `response.choices[0].message.content` string.
</Note>

Models like `us.anthropic.claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219-v1:0` support [extended thinking](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/anthropics-claude-3-7-sonnet-the-first-hybrid-reasoning-model-is-now-available-in-amazon-bedrock/).
This is similar to openai thinking, but you get the model's reasoning as it processes the request as well.

Note that you will have to set [`strict_open_ai_compliance=False`](/product/ai-gateway/strict-open-ai-compliance) in the headers to use this feature.

## Inference Profiles

[Inference profiles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/inference-profiles.html) are a resource in Amazon Bedrock that define a model and one or more Regions to which the inference profile can route model invocation requests.

To use inference profiles, your IAM role needs to additionally have the following permissions:

```json theme={"system"}
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "bedrock:GetInferenceProfile"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:bedrock:*:*:inference-profile/*",
                "arn:aws:bedrock:*:*:application-inference-profile/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
```

This is a pre-requisite for using inference profiles, as the gateway needs to fetch the foundation model to process the request.

For reference, see the following documentation:
[https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/inference-profiles-prereq.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/inference-profiles-prereq.html)

## Bedrock Guardrails

You can use Bedrock guardrails directly in your chat completions requests to add content filtering and safety measures. Guardrails help ensure that model responses adhere to your specific safety and content policies.

<Note>
  We recommend using guardrails through the Portkey UI for easier management and configuration.
  You can learn more about guardrails [here](/integrations/guardrails/bedrock-guardrails).
</Note>

### Using Guardrails in Chat Completions

To enable guardrails, include the `guardrailConfig` parameter in your request:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
        model: 'us.anthropic.claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219-v1:0',
        max_tokens: 250,
        guardrailConfig: {
            guardrailIdentifier: "your-guardrail-id",
            guardrailVersion: "DRAFT", // or specific version number
            trace: "enabled" // optional: "enabled" or "disabled"
        }
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages=[{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
        model='us.anthropic.claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219-v1:0',
        max_tokens=250,
        guardrail_config={  # Note: snake_case also supported
            "guardrailIdentifier": "your-guardrail-id",
            "guardrailVersion": "DRAFT",
            "trace": "enabled"
        }
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="cURL">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      -H "x-portkey-provider: @your-bedrock-provider" \
      -d '{
        "model": "us.anthropic.claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219-v1:0",
        "max_tokens": 250,

        "guardrailConfig": {
          "guardrailIdentifier": "your-guardrail-id",
          "guardrailVersion": "DRAFT",
          "trace": "enabled"
        }
      }'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Guardrail Configuration Parameters

| Parameter             | Type   | Required | Description                                                                                     |
| --------------------- | ------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `guardrailIdentifier` | string | Yes      | The unique identifier of your Bedrock guardrail                                                 |
| `guardrailVersion`    | string | Yes      | Version of the guardrail (`"DRAFT"` for the latest draft version, or a specific version number) |
| `trace`               | string | No       | Controls trace generation (`"enabled"` or `"disabled"`)                                         |

<Note>
  Both `guardrailConfig` (camelCase) and `guardrail_config` (snake\_case) parameter names are supported for compatibility.
</Note>

When a guardrail is triggered, the response will include a `guardrail_intervened` stop reason. You can access detailed trace information if tracing is enabled.

## Bedrock Converse API

Portkey uses the [AWS Converse API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_runtime_Converse.html) internally for making chat completions requests.

If you need to pass [additional input fields or parameters](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_runtime_Converse.html#API_runtime_Converse_RequestSyntax) like `anthropic_beta`, `top_k`, `frequency_penalty` etc. that are specific to a model, you can pass it with this key:

```json theme={"system"}
"additionalModelRequestFields": {
    "frequency_penalty": 0.4
}
```

If you require the model to [respond with certain fields](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_runtime_Converse.html#API_runtime_Converse_RequestSyntax) that are specific to a model, you need to pass this key:

```json theme={"system"}
"additionalModelResponseFieldPaths": [ "/stop_sequence" ]
```

## Managing AWS Bedrock Prompts

You can manage all prompts to AWS bedrock in the [Prompt Library](/product/prompt-library). All the current models of Anthropic are supported and you can easily start testing different prompts.

Once you're ready with your prompt, you can use the `portkey.prompts.completions.create` interface to use the prompt in your application.

## Making Requests without using Portkey's Model Catalog

If you do not want to add your AWS details to Portkey vault, you can also directly pass them while instantiating the Portkey client.

### Mapping the Bedrock Details

| Node SDK           | Python SDK               | REST Headers                    |
| ------------------ | ------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
| awsAccessKeyId     | aws\_access\_key\_id     | x-portkey-aws-access-key-id     |
| awsSecretAccessKey | aws\_secret\_access\_key | x-portkey-aws-secret-access-key |
| awsRegion          | aws\_region              | x-portkey-aws-region            |
| awsSessionToken    | aws\_session\_token      | x-portkey-aws-session-token     |

## Using AWS PrivateLink for Bedrock \[Self Hosted Enterprise]

Though using assumed role is in itself enough for enterprise security. You can additional configure AWS [PrivateLink](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/what-is-privatelink.html) for Bedrock to ensure that your requests are not traversed outside your VPC.

* Create a private link between the VPC you've deployed Portkey and AWS Bedrock (the endpoint is in most cases `https://bedrock.{your_region}.amazonaws.com`).
* When configuring your integration on portkey, simply configure the `custom host` option to point to your VPC endpoint for the private link.

## AWS GovCloud (US)

<Note>
  Integration is identical to standard Bedrock. Only the endpoint changes — set a Custom Host for your region.
</Note>

### Steps

1. In Portkey, create or edit your Bedrock provider.
2. Open "Advanced Options".
3. Set "Custom Host" to your GovCloud Bedrock endpoint:
   * `https://bedrock.us-gov-east-1.amazonaws.com`
   * `https://bedrock.us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com`
   * and more similarly...
4. Save and use normally in SDKs and via the gateway.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Configure Custom Host for AWS GovCloud" />
</Frame>

### Notes

* For the complete list of Bedrock endpoints, see the official AWS reference: [Amazon Bedrock endpoints and quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/bedrock.html).
* For FIPS-compliant endpoints and additional compliance information, see: [FIPS Endpoints by Service](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/fips/#FIPS_Endpoints_by_Service).

## Supported Models

<Card title="List of supported Amazon Bedrock model IDs" href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-ids.html#model-ids-arns" />

***

## How to Find Your AWS Credentials

[Navigate here in the AWS Management Console](https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home#/security%5Fcredentials) to obtain your **AWS Access Key ID** and **AWS** **Secret Access Key.**

* In the console, you'll find the '**Access keys'** section. Click on '**Create access key**'.
* Copy the `Secret Access Key` once it is generated, and you can view the `Access Key ID` along with it.

<Frame>
  <img alt="acess" />
</Frame>

* On the same [page](https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home#/security%5Fcredentials) under the '**Access keys'** section, where you created your Secret Access key, you will also find your **Access Key ID.**

<Frame>
  <img alt="retrieve" />
</Frame>

* And lastly, get Your `AWS Region` from the Home Page of[ AWS Bedrock](https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/home?region=us-east-1#/overview) as shown in the image below.

# AWS GovCloud with Bedrock
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/bedrock/aws-govcloud





# Batches
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/bedrock/batches

Perform batch inference with Bedrock

Portkey lets you run Bedrock batch jobs without any manual S3 wrangling—simply upload an [OpenAI-format .jsonl file](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/batch#1-preparing-your-batch-file) and Portkey converts it on-the-fly to the Bedrock format.

This is the most efficient way to

* Test your data with different foundation models
* Perform A/B testing with different foundation models
* Perform batch inference with different foundation models

<Info>
  Portkey supports **two modes** on Bedrock:

  * **[Provider Batch API](#using-bedrock-batch-api-through-portkey)** (cheapest, completion\_window: `24h`, `48h`, etc.)
  * **[Portkey Batch API  ⭐️](/product/ai-gateway/batches#portkey-batch-api-mode)** (fast, provider-agnostic, completion\_window: `immediate`)
</Info>

## Before You Start

1. **Portkey API key** (`$PORTKEY_API_KEY`).
2. **Bedrock credentials** — either a Portkey *Provider from Model Catalog* or explicit AWS keys (`aws_access_key_id`, `aws_secret_access_key`, `aws_region`, optional `aws_session_token`).
3. **S3 bucket** with read/write access for inputs and outputs.
4. **IAM roles** (see *Permissions & IAM* below).
5. Optional: a **Portkey File** (`input_file_id`) — **required only when you set `completion_window:"immediate"`** (Portkey-Batch mode).

## Using Bedrock Batch API through Portkey

### Create Batch Job

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  # Initialize the Portkey client
  portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
      provider="bedrock",
      aws_access_key_id="YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
      aws_secret_access_key="YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY",
      aws_region="YOUR_AWS_REGION",
      aws_s3_bucket="YOUR_AWS_S3_BUCKET",
      aws_s3_object_key="YOUR_AWS_S3_OBJECT_KEY",
      aws_bedrock_model="YOUR_AWS_BEDROCK_MODEL"
  )

  start_batch_response = portkey.batches.create(
    input_file_id="file_id", # file id of the input file
    endpoint="endpoint", # ex: /v1/chat/completions
    completion_window="completion_window", # ex: 24h
    metadata={}, # metadata for the batch,
    role_arn="arn:aws:iam::12312:role/BedrockBatchRole", # the role to use for creating the batch job
    model="anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0", # the model to use for the batch
    output_data_config={
      "s3OutputDataConfig": {
        "s3Uri": "s3://generations-raw/",
        "s3EncryptionKeyId": "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:517194595696:key/89b483cb-130d-497b-aa37-7db177e7cd32" # this is optional, if you want to use a KMS key to encrypt the output data
      }
    }, # output_data_config is optional, if you want to specify a different output location for the batch job, default is the same as the input file
    job_name="anthropi-requests-test" # optional
  )

# AWS Bedrock Knowledge Bases
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/bedrock/bedrock-knowledgebase

Create, manage, and connect your LLMs to organizational data using AWS Bedrock Knowledge Bases through Portkey.

AWS Bedrock Knowledge Bases enables you to give foundation models access to your company's private data sources, delivering more relevant, accurate, and customized responses through Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

With Portkey's integration, you can seamlessly create, connect to, and query AWS Bedrock Knowledge Bases while gaining enterprise features like observability, caching, and reliability - all through a unified API that simplifies authentication.

## What is AWS Bedrock Knowledge Bases?

AWS Bedrock Knowledge Bases is a fully managed service that implements the entire RAG workflow - from data ingestion to retrieval and prompt augmentation. It allows you to:

* **Connect to Multiple Data Sources**: Automatically fetch data from Amazon S3, Confluence, Salesforce, SharePoint, and more.
* **Managed Vector Storage**: Store embeddings in supported vector databases like Amazon Aurora, OpenSearch, Neptune, MongoDB, Pinecone, or Redis.
* **Advanced Retrieval**: Use semantic search and filtering for accurate information retrieval.
* **Source Attribution**: All retrieved information includes citations to improve transparency and minimize hallucinations.

## Prerequisites

Before integrating AWS Bedrock Knowledge Bases with Portkey, ensure you have:

1. **AWS Account** with Bedrock access enabled.
2. **AWS Credentials** with permissions to create and access Bedrock Knowledge Bases, configured in Portkey.
3. **Portkey Account** with an API key.
4. An **IAM Role** with the necessary permissions for Bedrock to access your data sources.
5. A **Vector Store** (like Amazon OpenSearch Serverless) to store the indexed data.

## Setup Guide

### Step 1: Create an AWS Integration in Portkey

You need to connect your AWS account to Portkey. This allows Portkey to make authenticated requests to AWS on your behalf.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Integrations">
    Navigate to the [Integrations](https://app.portkey.ai/integrations) section on Portkey's Sidebar. This is where you'll connect your LLM providers.

    1. Find **Bedrock** and click **Connect**.
    2. In the "Create New Integration" window:
       * Enter a **Name** for reference (e.g., `aws-bedrock-prod`).
       * Enter a **Slug** for the integration (e.g., `aws-bedrock-prod`).
       * Enter your **AWS Access Key ID**, **Secret Access Key**, and **Default Region**.
    3. Click **Next Step**.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      The **Slug** you create here will be used with an `@` prefix as the `provider` in your Portkey client initialization (e.g., `@aws-bedrock-prod`).
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Models">
    On the model provisioning page:

    * Leave all models selected (or customize).
    * Toggle "Automatically enable new models" if desired.

    Click **Create Integration** to complete the integration.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Step 2: Create a Knowledge Base

To create an AWS Bedrock Knowledge Base, you use Portkey's `put` method. This acts as a proxy, sending a signed request directly to the AWS `PUT /knowledgebases/` API endpoint. Portkey handles the complex AWS Signature Version 4 authentication process for you.

When initializing the Portkey client, you must provide a `custom_host` that points to the AWS Bedrock Agent API endpoint for your region.

### Step 3: Retrieve from a Knowledge Base

Once your knowledge base is created and has finished syncing, you can query it using Portkey's `post` method. This request is sent to the AWS `retrieve` API endpoint: `POST /knowledgebases/{knowledgeBaseId}/retrieve`.

<Note>
  **Important:** For retrieval, the `custom_host` URL is different. You must use the **Bedrock Agent Runtime** endpoint for your region (e.g., `bedrock-agent-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com`).
</Note>

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    # For retrieval, use the Bedrock Agent Runtime URL

        provider="@your-bedrock-provider-slug",
        custom_host="bedrock-agent-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"
    )

    knowledge_base_id = "YOUR_KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID"
    query = "What is our company's remote work policy?"

    response = portkey.post(
        url=f"/knowledgebases/{knowledge_base_id}/retrieve",
        retrievalQuery={
            "text": query
        }
    )
    # The response contains the retrieved chunks
    print(response.json())
    ```

  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```javascript theme={"system"}
    import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

    // For retrieval, use the Bedrock Agent Runtime URL

        provider: "@your-bedrock-provider-slug",
        customHost: "bedrock-agent-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"
    });

    async function queryKnowledgeBase() {
        const knowledgeBaseId = "YOUR_KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID";
        const query = "What is our company's remote work policy?";

        try {
            const response = await portkey.post(
                `/knowledgebases/${knowledgeBaseId}/retrieve`,
                {
                    retrievalQuery: {
                        text: query
                    }
                }

        }
    }

    queryKnowledgeBase();
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Step 4: Query the Knowledge Base and Generate a Response (RAG)

This step demonstrates the complete Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline. First, we retrieve relevant context from the knowledge base. Then, we use that context to ground a large language model, enabling it to generate an informed response.

<Note>
  Notice that we use two different Portkey client initializations. The first one includes a `custom_host` to target the Bedrock Agent Runtime for retrieval. The second one is a standard client for chat completion.

## Next Steps

Now that you can create and build a full RAG application with your knowledge base, you can explore other Portkey features to enhance your application:

* Explore [Portkey Observability](/product/observability) to monitor your RAG pipeline.
* Set up [Guardrails](/product/guardrails) to ensure safe and compliant responses.
* Implement [Prompt Management](/product/prompt-library) for your RAG prompts.
* Configure [Fallbacks](/product/ai-gateway/fallbacks) for high availability.

# Files

Upload files to S3 for Bedrock batch inference

To perform batch inference with Bedrock, you need to upload files to S3.
This process can be cumbersome and duplicative in nature because you need to transform your data into model specific formats.

With Portkey, you can upload the file in [OpenAI format](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/batch#1-preparing-your-batch-file) and portkey will handle transforming the file into the format required by Bedrock on the fly!

This is the most efficient way to

* Test your data with different foundation models
* Perform A/B testing with different foundation models
* Perform batch inference with different foundation models

**Notes:**

* Bedrock fine-tuning dataset format is a little bit different from OpenAI's fine-tuning dataset format.
* `model_type` field is required for the dataset transformation, currently gateway does the following dataset transformation:
  * `chat` -> `text-to-text`
  * `chat` -> `chat`.
* `model` param should be the `ModelID` that is required for fine-tuning not for the inference. `ModelID` is different for inference and fine-tuning.

# Prompt Caching on Bedrock
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/bedrock/prompt-caching



Prompt caching on Amazon Bedrock lets you cache specific portions of your requests for repeated use. This feature significantly reduces inference response latency and input token costs by allowing the model to skip recomputation of previously processed content.

With Portkey, you can easily implement Amazon Bedrock's prompt caching through our OpenAI-compliant unified API and prompt templates.

## Model Support

Amazon Bedrock prompt caching is generally available with the following models:

<Info>
  **Currently Supported Models:**

  * Claude 3.7 Sonnet
  * Claude 3.5 Haiku
  * Amazon Nova Micro
  * Amazon Nova Lite
  * Amazon Nova Pro

  Customers who were given access to Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2 during the prompt caching preview will retain their access, but no additional customers will be granted access to prompt caching on the Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2 model.
</Info>

## How Bedrock Prompt Caching Works

When using prompt caching, you define **cache checkpoints** - markers that indicate parts of your prompt to cache. These cached sections must be static between requests; any alterations will result in a cache miss.

<Note>
  You can also use Bedrock Prompt Caching Feature with Portkey's Prompt Templates.
</Note>

## Implementation Examples

Here's how to implement prompt caching with Portkey:

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript NodeJS theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
      provider:"@PROVIDER" // Your Bedrock Provider Slug
  })

  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [
          { "role": 'system', "content": [
              {
                  "type":"text","text":"You are a helpful assistant"
              },
              {
                  "type":"text","text":"This is a large document I want to cache...",
                  "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral"}
              }
          ]},

      ],
      model: 'anthropic.claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219-v1:0'
  });

  console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
  ```

<Note>
  * The Amazon Nova models support a maximum of 32k tokens for prompt caching.
  * For Claude models, tools caching is fully supported.
  * Tools caching is not supported for Amazon Nova models.
</Note>

## Understanding Token Counts and Pricing

Portkey automatically calculates correct pricing for prompt caching requests. In the logs, you'll see cache-related token counts in the `usage` object:

* `cache_creation_input_tokens`: Number of tokens written to the cache when creating a new entry.
* `cache_read_input_tokens`: Number of tokens retrieved from the cache for this request.

<Info>
  **Token Format Normalization**

  Portkey normalizes responses to the OpenAI format. In this format, `prompt_tokens` **includes** the cached tokens:

  ```
  prompt_tokens = inputTokens + cache_read_input_tokens + cache_creation_input_tokens
  ```

  This differs from native provider formats where input tokens may exclude cached tokens. Portkey's pricing calculation accounts for this by:

  1. Subtracting cached tokens from `prompt_tokens` to get the base input token count
  2. Applying the standard input token rate to base tokens
  3. Applying the discounted cache read rate to `cache_read_input_tokens`
  4. Applying the cache write rate to `cache_creation_input_tokens`

  This ensures accurate cost calculation even though the token format is normalized.

## Dashscope Supported Features

### Chat Completions

Generate chat completions using Dashscope models through Portkey:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
      model="qwen-turbo"
  )

  print(completion.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
      model: 'qwen-turbo',
  });

  console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
  ```

  ```curl REST theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
       -d '{
         "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
         "model": "qwen-turbo"
       }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Embeddings

Generate embeddings for text using Dashscope embedding models:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  response = portkey.embeddings.create(
      input="Your text string goes here",
      model="text-embedding-v1"
  )

  print(response.data[0].embedding)
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  const response = await portkey.embeddings.create({
    input: "Your text string goes here",
    model: "text-embedding-v1"
  });

  console.log(response.data[0].embedding);
  ```

  ```curl REST theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/embeddings" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
       -d '{
         "input": "Your text string goes here",
         "model": "text-embedding-v1"
       }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

# Portkey's Advanced Features

## Track End-User IDs

Portkey allows you to track user IDs passed with the user parameter in Dashscope requests, enabling you to monitor user-level costs, requests, and more:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    model="qwen-turbo",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
    user="user_123456"
  )
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Say this is a test" }],
    model: "qwen-turbo",
    user: "user_12345",
  });
  ```

  ```curl REST theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
       -d '{
         "model": "qwen-turbo",
         "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
         "user": "user_123456"
       }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

When you include the user parameter in your requests, Portkey logs will display the associated user ID, as shown in the image below:

<img alt="Portkey Logs with User ID" />

In addition to the `user` parameter, Portkey allows you to send arbitrary custom metadata with your requests. This powerful feature enables you to associate additional context or information with each request, which can be useful for analysis, debugging, or other custom use cases.

## Using The Gateway Config

Here's a simplified version of how to use Portkey's Gateway Configuration:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Gateway Configuration">
    You can create a Gateway configuration using the Portkey Config Dashboard or by writing a JSON configuration in your code. In this example, requests are routed based on the user's subscription plan (paid or free).

    ```json theme={"system"}
    config = {
      "strategy": {
        "mode": "conditional",
        "conditions": [
          {
            "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "paid" } },
            "then": "qwen-turbo"
          },
          {
            "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "free" } },
            "then": "gpt-3.5"
          }
        ],
        "default": "base-gpt4"
      },
      "targets": [
        {
          "name": "qwen-turbo",
          "provider":"@xx"
        },
        {
          "name": "gpt-3.5",
          "provider":"@yy"
        }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Process Requests">
    When a user makes a request, it will pass through Portkey's AI Gateway. Based on the configuration, the Gateway routes the request according to the user's metadata.

    <img alt="Conditional Routing Diagram" />
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Up the Portkey Client">
    Pass the Gateway configuration to your Portkey client. You can either use the config object or the Config ID from Portkey's hosted version.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```python Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
          api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
          provider="@PROVIDER",
          config=portkey_config
      )
      ```

      ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider:"@PROVIDER",
        config: portkeyConfig
      })
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>
</Steps>

        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Defaults to os.env("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
        provider="@FIREWORKS_PROVIDER"   # Your Virtual Key
    )
    ```

### **3. Invoke Chat Completions with** Fireworks

You can use the Portkey instance now to send requests to Fireworks API.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
        model: 'accounts/fireworks/models/llama-v3-70b-instruct',
    });

    console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages= [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
        model= 'accounts/fireworks/models/llama-v3-70b-instruct'
    )

    print(completion)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Now, let's explore how you can use Portkey to call other models (vision, embedding, image) on the Fireworks API:

### Using Embeddings Models

Call any [embedding model hosted on Fireworks](https://readme.fireworks.ai/docs/querying-embeddings-models#list-of-available-models) with the familiar OpenAI embeddings signature:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const embeddings = await portkey.embeddings.create({
        input: "create vector representation on this sentence",
        model: "thenlper/gte-large",
    });

    console.log(embeddings);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    embeddings = portkey.embeddings.create(
        input='create vector representation on this sentence',
        model='thenlper/gte-large'
    )

    print(embeddings)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Using Vision Models

Portkey natively supports [vision models hosted on Fireworks](https://readme.fireworks.ai/docs/querying-vision-language-models):

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const completion = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages: [
            { "role": "user", "content": [
                { "type": "text","text": "Can you describe this image?" },
                    { "type": "image_url", "image_url":
                        { "url": "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1582538885592-e70a5d7ab3d3?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1770&q=80" }
                    }
                ]
            }
        ],
        model: 'accounts/fireworks/models/firellava-13b'
    )

    console.log(completion);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages= [
            { "role": "user", "content": [
                { "type": "text","text": "Can you describe this image?" },
                    { "type": "image_url", "image_url":
                        { "url": "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1582538885592-e70a5d7ab3d3?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1770&q=80" }
                    }
                ]
            }
        ],
        model= 'accounts/fireworks/models/firellava-13b'
    )

    print(completion)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Using Image Generation Models

Portkey also supports calling [image generation models hosted on Fireworks](https://readme.fireworks.ai/reference/image%5Fgenerationaccountsfireworksmodelsstable-diffusion-xl-1024-v1-0) in the familiar OpenAI signature:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';
    import fs from 'fs';

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider:"@FIREWORKS_PROVIDER"
    });

    async function main(){
        const image = await portkey.images.generate({
            model: "accounts/fireworks/models/stable-diffusion-xl-1024-v1-0",
            prompt: "An orange elephant in a purple pond"
        });

        const imageData = image.data[0].b64_json as string;

        fs.writeFileSync("fireworks-image-gen.png", Buffer.from(imageData, 'base64'));
    }

    main()
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey
    import base64
    from io import BytesIO
    from PIL import Image

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@FIREWORKS_PROVIDER"
    )

    image = portkey.images.generate(
      model="accounts/fireworks/models/stable-diffusion-xl-1024-v1-0",
      prompt="An orange elephant in a purple pond"
    )

    Image.open(BytesIO(base64.b64decode(image.data[0].b64_json))).save("fireworks-image-gen.png")
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Fireworks Grammar Mode

Fireworks lets you define [formal grammars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal%5Fgrammar) to constrain model outputs. You can use it to force the model to generate valid JSON, speak only in emojis, or anything else. ([Originally created by GGML](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/tree/master/grammars))

Grammar mode is set with the `response_format` param. Just pass your grammar definition with `{"type": "grammar", "grammar": grammar_definition}`

Let's say you want to classify patient requests into 3 pre-defined classes:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Defaults to os.env("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
        provider="@FIREWORKS_PROVIDER"   # Your Virtual Key
    )

    patient_classification = """
    root      ::= diagnosis
    diagnosis ::= "flu" | "dengue" | "malaria"
    """

    completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages= [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
        response_format={"type": "grammar", "grammar": patient_classification},
        model= 'accounts/fireworks/models/llama-v3-70b-instruct'
    )

    print(completion)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // Defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
        provider:"@FIREWORKS_PROVIDER" // Your Virtual Key
    })

    const patient_classification = `
    root ::= diagnosis
    diagnosis ::= "flu" | "dengue" | "malaria"
    `;

    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
        response_format: {"type": "grammar", "grammar": patient_classification},
        model: 'accounts/fireworks/models/llama-v3-70b-instruct',
    });

    console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  NOTE: Fireworks Grammer Mode is not supported on Portkey prompts playground
</Note>

[Explore the Fireworks guide for more examples and a deeper dive on Grammer node](https://readme.fireworks.ai/docs/structured-output-grammar-based).

## Fireworks JSON Mode

You can force the model to return (1) **An arbitrary JSON**, or (2) **JSON with given schema** with Fireworks' JSON mode.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Defaults to os.env("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
        provider="@FIREWORKS_PROVIDER"   # Your Virtual Key
    )

    class Recipe(BaseModel):
        title: str
        description: str
        steps: List[str]

    json_response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Give me a recipe for making Ramen, in JSON format' }],
        model = 'accounts/fireworks/models/llama-v3-70b-instruct',
        response_format = {
            "type":"json_object",
            "schema": Recipe.schema_json()
        }
    )

    print(json_response.choices[0].message.content)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // Defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
        provider:"@FIREWORKS_PROVIDER" // Your Virtual Key
    })

    asyn function main(){
      const json_response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{role: "user",content: `Give me a recipe for making Ramen, in JSON format`}],
        model: "accounts/fireworks/models/llama-v3-70b-instruct",
        response_format: {
          type: "json_object",
          schema: {
            type: "object",
            properties: {
              title: { type: "string" },
              description: { type: "string" },
              steps: { type: "array" }
            }
          }
        }
      });

    main()
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Fireworks Function Calling

Portkey also supports function calling mode on Fireworks. [Explore this cookbook for a deep dive and examples](/guides/getting-started/function-calling).

## Managing Fireworks Prompts

You can manage all Fireworks prompts in the [Prompt Library](/product/prompt-library). All the current 49+ language models available on Fireworks are supported and you can easily start testing different prompts.

Once you're ready with your prompt, you can use the `portkey.prompts.completions.create` interface to use the prompt in your application.

## Next Steps

The complete list of features supported in the SDK are available on the link below.

<Card title="SDK" href="/api-reference/sdk" />

You'll find more information in the relevant sections:

1. [Add metadata to your requests](/product/observability/metadata)
2. [Add gateway configs to your ](/product/ai-gateway/configs)[requests](/product/ai-gateway/configs)
3. [Tracing requests](/product/observability/traces)
4. [Setup a fallback from OpenAI to Firework APIs](/product/ai-gateway/fallbacks)

# Google Gemini
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/gemini



Portkey provides a robust and secure gateway to facilitate the integration of various Large Language Models (LLMs) into your applications, including [Google Gemini APIs](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/generative-ai/model-reference/gemini).

With Portkey, you can take advantage of features like fast AI gateway access, observability, prompt management, and more, all while ensuring the secure management of your LLM API keys through a [virtual key](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys) system.
<Note>Provider Slug. `google`</Note>

## Portkey SDK Integration with Google Gemini Models

Portkey provides a consistent API to interact with models from various providers. To integrate Google Gemini with Portkey:

### 1. Install the Portkey SDK

Add the Portkey SDK to your application to interact with Google Gemini's API through Portkey's gateway.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    npm install --save portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    pip install portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Initialize Portkey with the Virtual Key

To use Gemini with Portkey, [get your API key from here](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey), then add it to Portkey to create the virtual key.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
        provider:"@PROVIDER" // Your Google Virtual Key
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
        provider="@PROVIDER"   # Replace with your virtual key for Google
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### **3. Invoke Chat Completions with** Google Gemini

Use the Portkey instance to send requests to Google Gemini. You can also override the virtual key directly in the API call if needed.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [
            { role: 'system', content: 'You are not a helpful assistant' },
            { role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }
        ],
        model: 'gemini-1.5-pro',
    });

    console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages= [
            { "role": 'system', "content": 'You are not a helpful assistant' },
            { "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }
        ],
        model= 'gemini-1.5-pro'
    )

    print(completion)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  Portkey supports the `system_instructions` parameter for Google Gemini 1.5 - allowing you to control the behavior and output of your Gemini-powered applications with ease.

  Simply include your Gemini system prompt as part of the `{"role":"system"}` message within the `messages` array of your request body. Portkey Gateway will automatically transform your message to ensure seamless compatibility with the Google Gemini API.
</Note>

## Function Calling

Portkey supports function calling mode on Google's Gemini Models. Explore this <Icon icon="square-down" /> Cookbook for a deep dive and examples:

[Function Calling](/guides/getting-started/function-calling)

## Advanced Multimodal Capabilities with Gemini

Gemini models are inherently multimodal, capable of processing and understanding content from a wide array of file types. Portkey streamlines the integration of these powerful features by providing a unified, OpenAI-compatible API.

<Note>
  **The Portkey Advantage: A Unified Format for All Media**

  To simplify development, Portkey uses a consistent format for all multimodal requests. Whether you're sending an image, audio, video, or document, you will use an object with `type: 'image_url'` within the user message's `content` array.

  Portkey's AI Gateway intelligently interprets your request—based on the URL or data URI you provide—and translates it into the precise format required by the Google Gemini API. This means you only need to learn one structure for all your media processing needs.
</Note>

### Image Processing

Gemini can analyze images to describe their content, answer visual questions, or identify objects.

<Card href="https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/image-understanding" title="Gemini Image Understanding Docs" />

**Method 1: Sending an Image via Google Files URL**

Use the Google Files API to upload your image and get a URL. This is the recommended approach for larger files or when you need persistent storage.

<Info>
  To upload files and get Google Files URLs, use the [Files API](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/files). The URL format will be similar to: `https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/[FILE_ID]`
</Info>

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript NodeJS theme={"system"}
  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      model: 'gemini-1.5-pro',
      messages: [{
          role: 'user',
          content: [
              {
                  type: 'image_url',
                  image_url: {
                      url: 'https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/your-file-id'
                  }
              },
              {
                  type: 'text',
                  text: 'Describe this image in detail.'
              }
          ]
      }],
  });
  console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model='gemini-1.5-pro',
      messages=[{
          "role": "user",
          "content": [
              {
                  "type": "image_url",
                  "image_url": {
                      "url": "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/your-file-id"
                  }
              },
              {
                  "type": "text",
                  "text": "Describe this image in detail."
              }
          ]
      }],
  )
  print(completion.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl --location 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions' \
  --header 'x-portkey-provider: google' \
  --header 'x-portkey-api-key: YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Authorization: YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
      "model": "gemini-1.5-pro",
      "messages": [{
          "role": "user",
          "content": [
              {
                  "type": "text",
                  "text": "Describe this image in detail."
              },
              {
                  "type": "image_url",
                  "image_url": { "url": "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/your-file-id" }
              }
          ]
      }]
  }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Method 2: Sending a Local Image as Base64 Data**

Use this method for local image files. The file is encoded into a Base64 string and sent as a data URI. This is ideal for smaller files when you don't want to use the Files API.

The data URI format is: `data:<MIME_TYPE>;base64,<YOUR_BASE64_DATA>`

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript NodeJS theme={"system"}
  import fs from 'fs';

  const imageBytes = fs.readFileSync('local-image.png');

          ]
      }]
  }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>While you can send other document types like `.txt` or `.html`, they will be treated as plain text. Gemini's native document vision capabilities are optimized for the `application/pdf` MIME type.</Note>

<Note>
  **Important:** For all file uploads (except YouTube videos), it's recommended to use the [Google Files API](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/files) to upload your files first, then use the returned file URL in your requests. This approach provides better performance and reliability for larger files.
</Note>

## Code Execution Tool

Gemini can use a built-in code interpreter tool to solve complex computational problems, perform calculations, and generate code. To enable this, simply include the `code_execution` tool in your request. The model will automatically decide when to invoke it.

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript NodeJS theme={"system"}
  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      model: "gemini-1.5-pro",
      messages: [{
          "role": "user",
          "content": "Calculate the 20th Fibonacci number. Then find the nearest palindrome to it."
      }],
      tools: [{ "type": "code_execution" }]
  });

  console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="gemini-1.5-pro",
      messages=[{
          "role": "user",
          "content": "Calculate the 20th Fibonacci number. Then find the nearest palindrome to it."
      }],
      tools=[{ "type": "code_execution" }]
  )

  print(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl --location 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions' \
  --header 'x-portkey-provider: google' \
  --header 'x-portkey-api-key: YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Authorization: YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
      "model": "gemini-1.5-pro",
      "messages": [
          {
              "role": "user",
              "content": "Calculate the 20th Fibonacci number. Then find the nearest palindrome to it."
          }
      ],
      "tools": [{ "type": "code_execution" }]
  }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Thought Signatures (Tool Calling Verification)

<Note>
  Set `x-portkey-strict-open-ai-compliance` to `false` to receive the `thought_signature` in the response. This header must be included in all requests when using thought signatures.
</Note>

Google's Gemini 3 Pro model requires passing a `thought_signature` parameter in tool calling conversations for verifying the payload. This signature is returned by the model in the assistant's tool call response and must be included when continuing multi-turn conversations.

<Card href="https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/thought-signatures" title="Google Gemini Thought Signatures Documentation" />

### Single turn conversation

In a single-turn conversation, you make a request with tools defined, and the model returns tool calls with thought signatures.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl --location 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions' \

## Grounding with Google Search

Vertex AI supports grounding with Google Search. This is a feature that allows you to ground your LLM responses with real-time search results.
Grounding is invoked by passing the `google_search` tool (for newer models like gemini-2.0-flash-001), and `google_search_retrieval` (for older models like gemini-1.5-flash) in the `tools` array.

```json theme={"system"}
"tools": [
    {
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "google_search" // or google_search_retrieval for older models
        }
    }]
```

<Warning>
  If you mix regular tools with grounding tools, vertex might throw an error saying only one tool can be used at a time.
</Warning>

## Extended Thinking (Reasoning Models) (Beta)

<Note>
  The assistants thinking response is returned in the `response_chunk.choices[0].delta.content_blocks` array, not the `response.choices[0].message.content` string.
</Note>

Models like `gemini-2.5-flash-preview-04-17` `gemini-2.5-flash-preview-04-17` support [extended thinking](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/partner-models/use-claude#claude-3-7-sonnet).
This is similar to openai thinking, but you get the model's reasoning as it processes the request as well.

Note that you will have to set [`strict_open_ai_compliance=False`](/product/ai-gateway/strict-open-ai-compliance) in the headers to use this feature.

      ]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  To disable thinking for gemini models like `gemini-2.5-flash-preview-04-17`, you are required to explicitly set `budget_tokens` to `0`.

  ```json theme={"system"}
  "thinking": {
      "type": "enabled",
      "budget_tokens": 0
  }
  ```
</Note>

### Using reasoning\_effort Parameter

You can also control thinking using the OpenAI-compatible `reasoning_effort` parameter instead of `thinking.budget_tokens`. The value is passed directly to Gemini as the `thinkingLevel`:

```python theme={"system"}
response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash-preview-04-17",
    max_tokens=3000,
    reasoning_effort="medium",  # Options: "none", "minimal", "low", "medium", "high"
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing"}]
)
```

| reasoning\_effort | Gemini thinkingLevel |
| ----------------- | -------------------- |
| `none`            | Disabled             |
| `minimal`         | `minimal`            |
| `low`             | `low`                |
| `medium`          | `medium`             |
| `high`            | `high`               |

<Info>
  Gemini grounding mode may not work via Portkey SDK. Contact [support@portkey.ai](mailto:support@portkey.ai) for assistance.
</Info>

## Image Generation (nano banana 🍌)

Gemini models like `gemini-3-pro-image-preview` support native image generation capabilities. You can generate images by setting `modalities` to include `"image"` in your request.

<Note>
  You must set [`strict_open_ai_compliance=False`](/product/ai-gateway/strict-open-ai-compliance) in the headers to use image generation, as the response format includes non-standard fields like `content_parts`.
</Note>

The generated image data is returned in the `content_parts` field of the response and can be used in multi-turn conversations for iterative image editing.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="gemini-3-pro-image-preview",
      max_tokens=32768,

      modalities=["text", "image"],  # Include both text and image
      messages=[
          {
              "role": "user",
              "content": [
                  {
                      "type": "text",

    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Initialize Portkey with the Virtual Key

To use Groq with Portkey, [get your API key from here](https://console.groq.com/keys), then add it to Portkey to create the virtual key.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
        provider:"@PROVIDER" // Your Groq Virtual Key
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}

        messages= [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
        model= 'mistral-medium'
    )

    print(completion)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Managing Groq Prompts

You can manage all prompts to Groq in the [Prompt Library](/product/prompt-library). All the current models of Groq are supported and you can easily start testing different prompts.

Once you're ready with your prompt, you can use the `portkey.prompts.completions.create` interface to use the prompt in your application.

### Groq Tool Calling

Tool calling feature lets models trigger external tools based on conversation context. You define available functions, the model chooses when to use them, and your application executes them and returns results.

Portkey supports Groq Tool Calling and makes it interoperable across multiple providers. With Portkey Prompts, you can templatize various your prompts & tool schemas as well.

## [Using Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys)

Virtual Keys serve as Portkey's unified authentication system for all LLM interactions, simplifying the use of multiple providers and Portkey features within your application. For self-hosted LLMs, you can configure custom authentication requirements including authorization keys, bearer tokens, or any other headers needed to access your model:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

1. Navigate to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in your Portkey dashboard
2. Click **"Add Key"** and enable the **"Local/Privately hosted provider"** toggle
3. Configure your deployment:
   * Select the matching provider API specification (typically `OpenAI`)
   * Enter your model's base URL in the `Custom Host` field
   * Add required authentication headers and their values
4. Click **"Create"** to generate your virtual key

You can now use this virtual key in your requests:

## Getting Started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Obtain your Lambda API Key">
    Visit the [Lambda dashboard](https://cloud.lambdalabs.com/api-keys) to generate your API key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a Virtual Key in Portkey">
    Portkey's virtual key vault simplifies your interaction with Lambda. Virtual keys act as secure aliases for your actual API keys, offering enhanced security and easier management through [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits) to control your API usage.

    Use the Portkey app to create a [virtual key](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys) associated with your Lambda API key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize the Portkey Client">
    Now that you have your virtual key, set up the Portkey client:

    ### Portkey Hosted App

    Use the Portkey API key and the Lambda virtual key to initialize the client in your preferred programming language.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```python Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
          api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
          provider="@PROVIDER"   # Replace with your virtual key for Lambda
      )
      ```

      ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

      const portkey = new Portkey({
          apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
          provider:"@PROVIDER" // Your Lambda Virtual Key
      })
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    ### Open Source Use

# Portkey's Advanced Features

## Track End-User IDs

Portkey allows you to track user IDs passed with the user parameter in Lambda requests, enabling you to monitor user-level costs, requests, and more:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    model="llama3.1-8b-instruct",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
    user="user_123456"
  )
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Say this is a test" }],
    model: "llama3.1-8b-instruct",
    user: "user_12345",
  });
  ```

  ```curl REST theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
       -d '{
         "model": "llama3.1-8b-instruct",
         "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
         "user": "user_123456"
       }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

When you include the user parameter in your requests, Portkey logs will display the associated user ID, as shown in the image below:

<img alt="Portkey Logs with User ID" />

In addition to the `user` parameter, Portkey allows you to send arbitrary custom metadata with your requests. This powerful feature enables you to associate additional context or information with each request, which can be useful for analysis, debugging, or other custom use cases.

## Using The Gateway Config

Here's a simplified version of how to use Portkey's Gateway Configuration:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Gateway Configuration">
    You can create a Gateway configuration using the Portkey Config Dashboard or by writing a JSON configuration in your code. In this example, requests are routed based on the user's subscription plan (paid or free).

    ```json theme={"system"}
    config = {
      "strategy": {
        "mode": "conditional",
        "conditions": [
          {
            "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "paid" } },
            "then": "llama3.1"
          },
          {
            "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "free" } },
            "then": "gpt-3.5"
          }
        ],
        "default": "gpt-3.5"
      },
      "targets": [
        {
          "name": "llama3.1",
          "provider":"@xx"
        },
        {
          "name": "gpt-3.5",
          "provider":"@yy"
        }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Process Requests">
    When a user makes a request, it will pass through Portkey's AI Gateway. Based on the configuration, the Gateway routes the request according to the user's metadata.

    <img alt="Conditional Routing Diagram" />
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Up the Portkey Client">
    Pass the Gateway configuration to your Portkey client. You can either use the config object or the Config ID from Portkey's hosted version.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```python Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
          api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
          provider="@PROVIDER",
          config=portkey_config
      )
      ```

      ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider:"@PROVIDER",
        config: portkeyConfig
      })
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Guardrails

Portkey's AI gateway enables you to enforce input/output checks on requests by applying custom hooks before and after processing. Protect your user's/company's data by using PII guardrails and many more available on Portkey Guardrails:

```json theme={"system"}
{
	"provider:"@lambda-xxx",
	"before_request_hooks": [{
		"id": "input-guardrail-id-xx"
	}],
	"after_request_hooks": [{
		"id": "output-guardrail-id-xx"
	}]
}
```

       -F "model=whisper-1"

  ```
</CodeGroup>

# Portkey's Advanced Features

## Track End-User IDs

Portkey allows you to track user IDs passed with the user parameter in Lemonfox AI requests, enabling you to monitor user-level costs, requests, and more:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    model="llama-8b-chat",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
    user="user_123456"
  )
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Say this is a test" }],
    model: "llama-8b-chat",
    user: "user_12345",
  });
  ```

  ```curl REST theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
       -d '{
         "model": "llama-8b-chat",
         "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
         "user": "user_123456"
       }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

When you include the user parameter in your requests, Portkey logs will display the associated user ID, as shown in the image below:

<img alt="Portkey Logs with User ID" />

In addition to the `user` parameter, Portkey allows you to send arbitrary custom metadata with your requests. This powerful feature enables you to associate additional context or information with each request, which can be useful for analysis, debugging, or other custom use cases.

## Using The Gateway Config

Here's a simplified version of how to use Portkey's Gateway Configuration:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Gateway Configuration">
    You can create a Gateway configuration using the Portkey Config Dashboard or by writing a JSON configuration in your code. In this example, requests are routed based on the user's subscription plan (paid or free).

    ```json theme={"system"}
    config = {
      "strategy": {
        "mode": "conditional",
        "conditions": [
          {
            "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "paid" } },
            "then": "llama-8b-chat"
          },
          {
            "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "free" } },
            "then": "gpt-3.5"
          }
        ],
        "default": "base-gpt4"
      },
      "targets": [
        {
          "name": "llama-8b-chat",
          "provider":"@xx"
        },
        {
          "name": "gpt-3.5",
          "provider":"@yy"
        }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Process Requests">
    When a user makes a request, it will pass through Portkey's AI Gateway. Based on the configuration, the Gateway routes the request according to the user's metadata.

    <img alt="Conditional Routing Diagram" />
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Up the Portkey Client">
    Pass the Gateway configuration to your Portkey client. You can either use the config object or the Config ID from Portkey's hosted version.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```python Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
          api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
          provider="@PROVIDER",
          config=portkey_config
      )
      ```

      ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider:"@PROVIDER",
        config: portkeyConfig
      })
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

# LocalAI
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/local-ai



Portkey provides a robust and secure gateway to facilitate the integration of various Large Language Models (LLMs) into your applications, including your **locally hosted models through** [**LocalAI**](https://localai.io/).

## Portkey SDK Integration with LocalAI

### 1. Install the Portkey SDK

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    npm install --save portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    pip install portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Initialize Portkey with LocalAI URL

First, ensure that your API is externally accessible. If you're running the API on `http://localhost`, consider using a tool like `ngrok` to create a public URL. Then, instantiate the Portkey client by adding your LocalAI URL (along with the version identifier) to the `customHost` property, and add the provider name as `openai`.

<Note>
  **Note:** Don't forget to include the version identifier (e.g., `/v1`) in the `customHost` URL
</Note>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
        provider: "openai",
        customHost: "https://7cc4-3-235-157-146.ngrok-free.app/v1" // Your LocalAI ngrok URL
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
        provider="openai",
        custom_host="https://7cc4-3-235-157-146.ngrok-free.app/v1" # Your LocalAI ngrok URL
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  Portkey currently supports all endpoints that adhere to the OpenAI specification. This means, you can access and observe any of your LocalAI models that are exposed through OpenAI-compliant routes.
</Note>

[List of supported endpoints here](/integrations/llms/local-ai#localai-endpoints-supported).

### 3. Invoke Chat Completions

Use the Portkey SDK to invoke chat completions from your LocalAI model, just as you would with any other provider.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
        model: 'ggml-koala-7b-model-q4_0-r2.bin',
    });

    console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages= [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
        model= 'ggml-koala-7b-model-q4_0-r2.bin'
    )

    print(completion)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## [Using Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys)

Virtual Keys serve as Portkey's unified authentication system for all LLM interactions, simplifying the use of multiple providers and Portkey features within your application. For self-hosted LLMs, you can configure custom authentication requirements including authorization keys, bearer tokens, or any other headers needed to access your model:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

1. Navigate to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in your Portkey dashboard
2. Click **"Add Key"** and enable the **"Local/Privately hosted provider"** toggle
3. Configure your deployment:
   * Select the matching provider API specification (typically `OpenAI`)
   * Enter your model's base URL in the `Custom Host` field
   * Add required authentication headers and their values
4. Click **"Create"** to generate your virtual key

You can now use this virtual key in your requests:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider:"@YOUR_SELF_HOSTED_LLM_PROVIDER"

    async function main() {
      const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Bob the builder.." }],
        model: "your-self-hosted-model-name",
      });

    console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_SELF_HOSTED_LLM_PROVIDER"
    )

    response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="your-self-hosted-model-name",
      messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
      ]

    print(response)

# Mistral AI
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/mistral-ai



Portkey provides a robust and secure gateway to facilitate the integration of various Large Language Models (LLMs) into your applications, including [Mistral AI APIs](https://docs.mistral.ai/api/).

With Portkey, you can take advantage of features like fast AI gateway access, observability, prompt management, and more, all while ensuring the secure management of your LLM API keys through a [virtual key](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys) system.

<Note>
  Provider Slug. `mistral-ai`
</Note>

## Portkey SDK Integration with Mistral AI Models

Portkey provides a consistent API to interact with models from various providers. To integrate Mistral AI with Portkey:

### 1. Install the Portkey SDK

Add the Portkey SDK to your application to interact with Mistral AI's API through Portkey's gateway.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    npm install --save portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    pip install portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Initialize Portkey with the Virtual Key

To use Mistral AI with Portkey, [get your API key from here](https://console.mistral.ai/api-keys/), then add it to Portkey to create the virtual key.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
        provider:"@PROVIDER" // Your Mistral AI Virtual Key
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
        provider="@PROVIDER"   # Replace with your virtual key for Mistral AI
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### **3.1. Invoke Chat Completions with** Mistral AI

Use the Portkey instance to send requests to Mistral AI. You can also override the virtual key directly in the API call if needed.

You can also call the new Codestral model here!

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
        model: 'codestral-latest',
    });

    console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages= [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
        model= 'codestral-latest'
    )

    print(completion)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

***

## Invoke Codestral Endpoint

Using Portkey, you can also call Mistral API's new Codestral endpoint. Just pass the Codestral URL `https://codestral.mistral.ai/v1` with the `customHost` property.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider:"@MISTRAL_PROVIDER",
        customHost: "https://codestral.mistral.ai/v1"
    })

    const codeCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        model: "codestral-latest",
        messages: [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a minimalist Python code to validate the proof for the special number 1729"}]
    });

    console.log(codeCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@MISTRAL_PROVIDER",
        custom_host="https://codestral.mistral.ai/v1"
    )

    code_completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        model="codestral-latest",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a minimalist Python code to validate the proof for the special number 1729"}]
    )

    print(code_completion.choices[0].message.content)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

#### Your Codestral requests will show up on Portkey logs with the code snippets rendered beautifully!

## Managing Mistral AI Prompts

You can manage all prompts to Mistral AI in the [Prompt Library](/product/prompt-library). All the current models of Mistral AI are supported and you can easily start testing different prompts.

Once you're ready with your prompt, you can use the `portkey.prompts.completions.create` interface to use the prompt in your application.

### Mistral Tool Calling

Tool calling feature lets models trigger external tools based on conversation context. You define available functions, the model chooses when to use them, and your application executes them and returns results.

Portkey supports Mistral Tool Calling and makes it interoperable across multiple providers. With Portkey Prompts, you can templatize various your prompts & tool schemas as well.

# Modal Labs
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/modal

Integrate Modal with Portkey AI for seamless completions, prompt management, and advanced features like streaming and function calling.

<Note>
  **Portkey Provider Slug:** `modal`
</Note>

## Overview

Portkey offers native integrations with [Modal](https://modal.com/) for Node.js, Python, and REST APIs. By combining Portkey with Modal, you can create production-grade AI applications with enhanced reliability, observability, and advanced features.

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Modal Documentation" icon="book" href="https://modal.com/docs">
    Explore the official Modal documentation for comprehensive details on their APIs and models.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Getting Started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Obtain your Modal API credentials">
    Visit the [Modal dashboard](https://modal.com/) to generate your API credentials. Modal supports two authentication methods:

    * **API Key**: Standard Bearer token authentication
    * **Custom Headers**: `modal-key` and `modal-secret` headers for advanced use cases
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a Virtual Key in Portkey">
    Portkey's virtual key vault simplifies your interaction with Modal. Virtual keys act as secure aliases for your actual API keys, offering enhanced security and easier management through [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/usage-limits) to control your API usage.

    Use the Portkey app to create a [virtual key](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys) associated with your Modal API key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize the Portkey Client">
    Now that you have your virtual key, set up the Portkey client:

    ### Portkey Hosted App

    Use the Portkey API key and the Modal virtual key to initialize the client in your preferred programming language.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```python Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
          api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
          provider="@PROVIDER"   # Replace with your virtual key for Modal
      )
      ```

      ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

      const portkey = new Portkey({
          apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
          provider:"@PROVIDER" // Your Modal Virtual Key
      })
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    ### Open Source Use

    Alternatively, use Portkey's Open Source AI Gateway to enhance your app's reliability with minimal code:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```python Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

      portkey = Portkey(
          api_key="dummy",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
          base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
          Authorization="MODAL_API_KEY", # Replace with your Modal API Key
          provider="modal"
      )
      ```

      ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
      import Portkey, { PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from 'portkey-ai'

      const portkey = new Portkey({
          apiKey: "dummy", // Replace with your Portkey API key
          baseUrl: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
          Authorization: "MODAL_API_KEY", // Replace with your Modal API Key
          provider: "modal"
      })
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>
</Steps>

🔥 That's it! You've integrated Portkey into your application with just a few lines of code. Now let's explore making requests using the Portkey client.

## Custom Host Configuration

Modal deployments typically use custom endpoints. You can configure a custom host for your Modal deployment:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      provider="@PROVIDER",
      custom_host="https://your-modal-deployment.modal.run"
  )
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      provider:"@PROVIDER",
      customHost: "https://your-modal-deployment.modal.run"
  })
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Supported Endpoints and Parameters

| Endpoint       | Supported Parameters                                                                                                                                               |

| `chatComplete` | messages, max\_tokens, temperature, top\_p, stream, presence\_penalty, frequency\_penalty                                                                          |
| `complete`     | model, prompt, max\_tokens, temperature, top\_p, n, stream, logprobs, echo, stop, presence\_penalty, frequency\_penalty, best\_of, logit\_bias, user, seed, suffix |

## Modal Supported Features

### Chat Completions

Generate chat completions using Modal-hosted models through Portkey:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
      model="your-modal-model"
  )

  print(completion.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
      model: 'your-modal-model',
  });

  console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
  ```

  ```curl REST theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
       -d '{
         "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
         "model": "your-modal-model"
       }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Streaming

Stream responses for real-time output in your applications:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  chat_complete = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="your-modal-model",
      messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
      stream=True
  )

  for chunk in chat_complete:
      print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="", flush=True)
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  const stream = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'your-modal-model',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
    stream: true,
  });

  for await (const chunk of stream) {
    process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || '');
  }
  ```

  ```curl REST theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
       -d '{
         "model": "your-modal-model",
         "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
         "stream": true
       }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

# Portkey's Advanced Features

## Track End-User IDs

Portkey allows you to track user IDs passed with the user parameter in Modal requests, enabling you to monitor user-level costs, requests, and more:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    model="your-modal-model",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
    user="user_123456"
  )
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Say this is a test" }],
    model: "your-modal-model",
    user: "user_12345",
  });
  ```

  ```curl REST theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
       -d '{
         "model": "your-modal-model",
         "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
         "user": "user_123456"
       }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

When you include the user parameter in your requests, Portkey logs will display the associated user ID.

In addition to the `user` parameter, Portkey allows you to send arbitrary custom metadata with your requests. This powerful feature enables you to associate additional context or information with each request, which can be useful for analysis, debugging, or other custom use cases.

## Using The Gateway Config

Here's a simplified version of how to use Portkey's Gateway Configuration:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Gateway Configuration">
    You can create a Gateway configuration using the Portkey Config Dashboard or by writing a JSON configuration in your code. In this example, requests are routed based on the user's subscription plan (paid or free).

    ```json theme={"system"}
    config = {
      "strategy": {
        "mode": "conditional",
        "conditions": [
          {
            "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "paid" } },
            "then": "modal-premium"
          },
          {
            "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "free" } },
            "then": "gpt-3.5"
          }
        ],
        "default": "gpt-3.5"
      },
      "targets": [
        {
          "name": "modal-premium",
          "provider":"@modal-xxx"
        },
        {
          "name": "gpt-3.5",
          "provider":"@openai-yyy"
        }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Process Requests">
    When a user makes a request, it will pass through Portkey's AI Gateway. Based on the configuration, the Gateway routes the request according to the user's metadata.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Up the Portkey Client">
    Pass the Gateway configuration to your Portkey client. You can either use the config object or the Config ID from Portkey's hosted version.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```python Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
          api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
          provider="@PROVIDER",
          config=portkey_config
      )
      ```

      ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider:"@PROVIDER",
        config: portkeyConfig
      })
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>
</Steps>

# Ollama
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/ollama



Portkey provides a robust and secure gateway to facilitate the integration of various Large Language Models (LLMs) into your applications, including your **locally hosted models through Ollama**.

<Note>
  Provider Slug. `ollama`
</Note>

## Portkey SDK Integration with Ollama Models

Portkey provides a consistent API to interact with models from various providers.

<Note>
  If you are running the open source Portkey Gateway, refer to this guide on how to connect Portkey with Ollama.
</Note>

### 1. Expose your Ollama API

Expose your Ollama API by using a tunneling service like [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) or any other way you prefer.

You can skip this step if you're self-hosting the Gateway.

For using Ollama with ngrok, here's a [useful guide](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#how-can-i-use-ollama-with-ngrok)

```sh theme={"system"}
ngrok http 11434 --host-header="localhost:11434"
```

### 2. Install the Portkey SDK

Install the Portkey SDK in your application to interact with your Ollama API through Portkey.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    npm install --save portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    pip install portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 3. Initialize Portkey with Ollama URL

Instantiate the Portkey client by adding your Ollama publicly-exposed URL to the `customHost` property.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
        provider: "ollama",
        customHost: "https://7cc4-3-235-157-146.ngrok-free.app" // Your Ollama ngrok URL
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
        provider="ollama",
        custom_host="https://7cc4-3-235-157-146.ngrok-free.app" # Your Ollama ngrok URL
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  For the Ollama integration, you only need to pass the base URL to `customHost` without the version identifier (such as `/v1`) - Portkey takes care of the rest!
</Note>

### **4. Invoke Chat Completions with** Ollama

Use the Portkey SDK to invoke chat completions from your Ollama model, just as you would with any other provider.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
        model: 'llama3',

## [Using Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys)

Virtual Keys serve as Portkey's unified authentication system for all LLM interactions, simplifying the use of multiple providers and Portkey features within your application. For self-hosted LLMs, you can configure custom authentication requirements including authorization keys, bearer tokens, or any other headers needed to access your model:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

1. Navigate to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in your Portkey dashboard
2. Click **"Add Key"** and enable the **"Local/Privately hosted provider"** toggle
3. Configure your deployment:
   * Select the matching provider API specification (typically `OpenAI`)
   * Enter your model's base URL in the `Custom Host` field
   * Add required authentication headers and their values
4. Click **"Create"** to generate your virtual key

You can now use this virtual key in your requests:

  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider:"@YOUR_SELF_HOSTED_LLM_PROVIDER"

    async function main() {
      const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Bob the builder.." }],
        model: "your-self-hosted-model-name",
      });

    console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_SELF_HOSTED_LLM_PROVIDER"
    )

    response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="your-self-hosted-model-name",
      messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
      ]

    print(response)
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

For more information about managing self-hosted LLMs with Portkey, see [Bring Your Own LLM](/integrations/llms/byollm).

## Local Setup (npm or docker)

First, install the Gateway locally:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Install the Gateway">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    npx @portkey-ai/gateway
    ```

    | Your Gateway is running on [http://localhost:8080/v1](http://localhost:8080/v1) 🚀 |   |
    | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - |
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Docker Image">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    docker pull portkeyai/gateway
    ```

    | Your Gateway is running on [http://host.docker.internal:8080/v1](http://host.docker.internal:8080/v1) 🚀 |   |
    | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - |
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Then, just change the `baseURL` to the Gateway URL, `customHost` to the Ollam URL, and make requests.

<Note>
  If you are running Portkey inside a `Docker container`, but Ollama is running natively on your machine (i.e. not in Docker), you will have to refer to Ollama using `http://host.docker.internal:11434` for the Gateway to be able to call it.

### Ollama Tool Calling

Tool calling feature lets models trigger external tools based on conversation context. You define available functions, the model chooses when to use them, and your application executes them and returns results.

Portkey supports Ollama Tool Calling and makes it interoperable across multiple providers. With Portkey Prompts, you can templatize various your prompts & tool schemas as well.

## Track End-User IDs

Portkey allows you to track user IDs passed with the `user` parameter in OpenAI requests, enabling you to monitor user-level costs, requests, and more.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Say this is a test" }],
      model: "gpt-4o",
      user: "user_12345",
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```py theme={"system"}
    response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="gpt-4o",
      messages=[{ role: "user", content: "Say this is a test" }]
      user="user_123456"
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

When you include the `user` parameter in your requests, Portkey logs will display the associated user ID, as shown in the image below:

<Frame>
  <img alt="logs" />
</Frame>

In addition to the `user` parameter, Portkey allows you to send arbitrary custom metadata with your requests. This powerful feature enables you to associate additional context or information with each request, which can be useful for analysis, debugging, or other custom use cases.

<Card title="Metadata" href="/product/observability/metadata" />

<Note>
  * The same integration approach applies to APIs for [completions](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-generation/completions-api), [embeddings](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/embeddings/create), [vision](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/quick-start), [moderation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/moderations/create), [transcription](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/audio/createTranscription), [translation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/audio/createTranslation), [speech](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/audio/createSpeech) and [files](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/files/create).
  * If you are looking for a way to add your **Org ID** & **Project ID** to the requests, head over to [this section](/integrations/llms/openai#managing-openai-projects-and-organizations-in-portkey).
</Note>

## Using the Prompts API

Portkey also supports creating and managing prompt templates in the [prompt library](/product/prompt-library). This enables the collaborative development of prompts directly through the user interface.

1. Create a prompt template with variables and set the hyperparameters.

<Frame>
  <img alt="prompt" />
</Frame>

2. Use this prompt in your codebase using the Portkey SDK.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Node">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    })

    // Make the prompt creation call with the variables

    const promptCompletion = await portkey.prompts.completions.create({
        promptID: "Your Prompt ID",
        variables: {
           // The variables specified in the prompt
        }
    })
    ```

    ```js theme={"system"}
    // We can also override the hyperparameters

    const promptCompletion = await portkey.prompts.completions.create({
        promptID: "Your Prompt ID",
        variables: {
           // The variables specified in the prompt
        },
        max_tokens: 250,
        presence_penalty: 0.2
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    client = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
    )

    prompt_completion = client.prompts.completions.create(
        prompt_id="Your Prompt ID",
        variables={
           # The variables specified in the prompt
        }
    )

    print(prompt_completion)

    # We can also override the hyperparameters

    prompt_completion = client.prompts.completions.create(
        prompt_id="Your Prompt ID",
        variables={
           # The variables specified in the prompt
        },
        max_tokens=250,
        presence_penalty=0.2
    )

    print(prompt_completion)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="cURL">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/prompts/:PROMPT_ID/completions" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -d '{
        "variables": {
            # The variables to use
        },
        "max_tokens": 250, # Optional
        "presence_penalty": 0.2 # Optional
    }'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Observe how this streamlines your code readability and simplifies prompt updates via the UI without altering the codebase.

### Function Calling

Function calls within your OpenAI or Portkey SDK operations remain standard. These logs will appear in Portkey, highlighting the utilized functions and their outputs.

Additionally, you can define functions within your prompts and invoke the `portkey.prompts.completions.create` method as above.

#### Function Calling with the Responses API

The Responses API also supports function calling with the same powerful capabilities:

## Managing OpenAI Projects & Organizations in Portkey

When integrating OpenAI with Portkey, you can specify your OpenAI organization and project IDs along with your API key. This is particularly useful if you belong to multiple organizations or are accessing projects through a legacy user API key.

Specifying the organization and project IDs helps you maintain better control over your access rules, usage, and costs.

In Portkey, you can add your Org & Project details by,

1. Creating your Virtual Key
2. Defining a Gateway Config
3. Passing Details in a Request

Let's explore each method in more detail.

### Using Virtual Keys

When selecting OpenAI from the dropdown menu while creating a virtual key, Portkey automatically displays optional fields for the organization ID and project ID alongside the API key field.

[Get your OpenAI API key from here](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys), then add it to Portkey to create the virtual key that can be used throughout Portkey.

<Frame>
  <img alt="LOGO" />
</Frame>

<Info>
  [Virtual Keys](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys)
</Info>

Portkey takes budget management a step further than OpenAI. While OpenAI allows setting budget limits per project, Portkey enables you to set budget limits for each virtual key you create. For more information on budget limits, refer to this documentation:

<Info>
  [Budget Limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)
</Info>

### Using The Gateway Config

You can also specify the organization and project details in the gateway config, either at the root level or within a specific target.

```json theme={"system"}
{
	"provider": "openai",
	"api_key": "OPENAI_API_KEY",
	"openai_organization": "org-xxxxxx",
	"openai_project": "proj_xxxxxxxx"
}
```

### While Making a Request

You can also pass your organization and project details directly when making a request using curl, the OpenAI SDK, or the Portkey SDK.

# Batches
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/openai/batches

Perform batch inference with OpenAI

Portkey exposes [OpenAI’s Batch API](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/batch) through one consistent endpoint, so you can run large, asynchronous evaluation jobs at 50 % lower cost.

Use batches when you need to run large jobs offline — e.g. nightly evals, A/B tests, or bulk embeddings.

## Create Batch Job

Upload your .jsonl file first — see [Files API](/integrations/llms/openai/files) for more details and then use the following code to create a batch job.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  # Initialize the Portkey client
  portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
      provider="@PROVIDER"   
  )

  start_batch_response = portkey.batches.create(
    input_file_id="file_id", # file id of the input file
    endpoint="/v1/chat/completions",
    completion_window="24h",
    metadata={} # metadata for the batch
  )

  print(start_batch_response)
  ```

  ```javascript Typescript theme={"system"}
  import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

  // Initialize the Portkey client
  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",  // Replace with your Portkey API key
      provider:"@PROVIDER"   
  });

  const startBatch = async () => {
    const startBatchResponse = await portkey.batches.create({
      input_file_id: "file_id", // file id of the input file
      endpoint: "/v1/chat/completions",
      completion_window: "24h",
      metadata: {} // metadata for the batch
    });

    console.log(startBatchResponse);
  }

  await startBatch();

# Prompt Caching
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/openai/prompt-caching-openai



OpenAI now offers prompt caching, a feature that can significantly reduce both latency and costs for your API requests. This feature is particularly beneficial for prompts exceeding 1024 tokens, offering up to an 80% reduction in latency for longer prompts over 10,000 tokens.

**Prompt Caching is enabled for following models**

* `gpt-4o (excludes gpt-4o-2024-05-13)`
* `gpt-4o-mini`
* `o1-preview`
* `o1-mini`

Portkey supports OpenAI's prompt caching feature out of the box. Here is an examples on of how to use it:

### What can be cached

* **Messages:** The complete messages array, encompassing system, user, and assistant interactions.
* **Images:** Images included in user messages, either as links or as base64-encoded data, as well as multiple images can be sent. Ensure the detail parameter is set identically, as it impacts image tokenization.
* **Tool use:** Both the messages array and the list of available `tools` can be cached, contributing to the minimum 1024 token requirement.
* **Structured outputs:** The structured output schema serves as a prefix to the system message and can be cached.

### What's Not Supported

* Completions API (only Chat Completions API is supported)
* Streaming responses (caching works, but streaming itself is not affected)

### Monitoring Cache Performance

Prompt caching requests & responses based on OpenAI's calculations here:

<Frame>
  <img alt="" />
</Frame>

All requests, including those with fewer than 1024 tokens, will display a `cached_tokens` field of the `usage.prompt_tokens_details` [chat completions object](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/object) indicating how many of the prompt tokens were a cache hit.

For requests under 1024 tokens, `cached_tokens` will be zero.

<Frame>
  <img alt="" />

  <figcaption><p><code>cached\_tokens</code> field of the <code>usage.prompt\_tokens\_details</code> </p></figcaption>
</Frame>

**Key Features:**

* Reduced Latency: Especially significant for longer prompts.
* Lower Costs: Cached portions of prompts are billed at a discounted rate.
* Improved Efficiency: Allows for more context in prompts without increasing costs proportionally.
* Zero Data Retention: No data is stored during the caching process, making it eligible for zero data retention policies.

# Structured Outputs
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/openai/structured-outputs

Structured Outputs ensure that the model always follows your supplied [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/overview/what-is-jsonschema). Portkey supports OpenAI's Structured Outputs feature out of the box with our SDKs & APIs. 

<Note>
  Structured Outputs is different from OpenAI's `JSON Mode` as well as `Function Calling`. [Check out this table](#difference-between-structured-outputs-json-mode-and-function-calling) for a quick comparison.
</Note>

Portkey SDKs for [Python](https://github.com/openai/openai-python/blob/main/helpers.md#structured-outputs-parsing-helpers) and [JavaScript](https://github.com/openai/openai-node/blob/master/helpers.md#structured-outputs-parsing-helpers) also make it easy to define object schemas using [Pydantic](https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/) and [Zod](https://zod.dev/) respectively. Below, you can see how to extract information from unstructured text that conforms to a schema defined in code.

The second approach, shown in the subsequent examples, uses a JSON schema directly in the API call. This method is more portable across different languages and doesn't require additional libraries, but lacks the integrated type checking of the Pydantic/Zod approach. Choose the method that best fits your project's needs and language ecosystem.

## Difference Between Structured Outputs, JSON Mode, and Function Calling

* If you are connecting the model to tools, functions, data, etc. in your system, then you should use **function calling.**
* And if you want to structure the model's output when it responds to the user, then you should use a structured `response_format`.
  * In `response_format`, you can set it as `{ "type": "json_object" }` to enable the [JSON Mode](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs/json-mode).
  * And you can set it as `{ "type": "json_schema" }` to use the [Structured Outputs Mode described above](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).

For more, refer to OpenAI's [detailed documentation on Structured Outputs here](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs/supported-schemas).

# Google Vertex AI
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/vertex-ai



Portkey provides a robust and secure gateway to facilitate the integration of various Large Language Models (LLMs), and embedding models into your apps, including [Google Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai?hl=en).

With Portkey, you can take advantage of features like fast AI gateway access, observability, prompt management, and more, all while ensuring the secure management of your Vertex auth through a Portkey's [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog)

<Note>
  Provider Slug. `vertex-ai`
</Note>

## Portkey SDK Integration with Google Vertex AI

Portkey provides a consistent API to interact with models from various providers. To integrate Google Vertex AI with Portkey:

### 1. Install the Portkey SDK

Add the Portkey SDK to your application to interact with Google Vertex AI API through Portkey's gateway.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    npm install --save portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    pip install portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Initialize Portkey Client

To integrate Vertex AI with Portkey, you'll need your `Vertex Project Id` Or `Service Account JSON` & `Vertex Region`, with which you can set up the Portkey's AI Provider.

[Here's a guide on how to find your Vertex Project details](/integrations/llms/vertex-ai#how-to-find-your-google-vertex-project-details)

If you are integrating through Service Account File, [refer to this guide](/integrations/llms/vertex-ai#get-your-service-account-json).

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]

    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

If you do not want to add your Vertex AI details to Portkey vault, you can directly pass them while instantiating the Portkey client. [More on that here](/integrations/llms/vertex-ai#making-requests-without-portkeys-model-catalog).

### **3. Invoke Chat Completions with** Vertex AI

Use the Portkey instance to send requests to any models hosted on Vertex AI. You can also override the Portkey's AI Provider directly in the API call if needed.

<Warning>
  Vertex AI uses OAuth2 to authenticate its requests, so you need to send the **access token** additionally along with the request.
</Warning>

        model= '@VERTEX_PROVIDER/gemini-1.5-pro-latest' # your model slug from Portkey's Model Catalog
    )

    print(completion)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  To use Anthopic models on Vertex AI, prepend `anthropic.` to the model name.<br />
  Example: `@VERTEX_PROVIDER/anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet@20240620`

  Similarly, for Meta models, prepend `meta.` to the model name.<br />
  Example: `@VERTEX_PROVIDER/meta.llama-3-8b-8192`
</Note>

<Note>
  **Anthropic Beta Header Support**: When using Anthropic models on Vertex AI, you can pass the `anthropic-beta` header (or `x-portkey-anthropic-beta`) to enable beta features. This header is forwarded to the underlying Anthropic API.
</Note>

## Using the /messages Route with Vertex AI Models

Access Claude models on Vertex AI through Anthropic's native`/messages` endpoint using Portkey's SDK or Anthropic's SDK.

<Note>
  This route only works with Claude models. For other models, use the standard OpenAI compliant endpoint.

## Using Self-Deployed Models on Vertex AI (Hugging Face, Custom Models)

Portkey supports connecting to self-deployed models on Vertex AI, including models from Hugging Face or any custom models you've deployed to a Vertex AI endpoint.

**Requirements for Self-Deployed Models**

To use self-deployed models on Vertex AI through Portkey:

1. **Model Naming Convention**: When making requests to your self-deployed model, you must prefix the model name with `endpoints.`
   ```
   endpoints.my_endpoint_name
   ```

2. **Required Permissions**: The Google Cloud service account used in your Portkey Model Catalog must have the `aiplatform.endpoints.predict` permission.

<Info>
  **Why the prefix?** Vertex AI's product offering for self-deployed models is called "Endpoints." This naming convention indicates to Portkey that it should route requests to your custom endpoint rather than a standard Vertex AI model.

  This approach works for all models you can self-deploy on Vertex AI Model Garden, including Hugging Face models and your own custom models.

  * [Document Processing](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/document-processing?lang=python)
  * [Video & Image Processing](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/vision?lang=python)
  * [Audio Processing](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/audio?lang=python)
</Info>

Using Portkey, here's how you can send these media files:

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript JavaScript theme={"system"}
  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [
          { role: 'system', content: 'You are a helpful assistant' },
          { role: 'user', content: [
              {
                  type: 'image_url',
                  image_url: {
                      url: 'gs://cloud-samples-data/generative-ai/image/scones.jpg'
                  }
              },
              {
                  type: 'text',
                  text: 'Describe the image'
              }
          ]}
      ],
      model: 'gemini-1.5-pro-001',
      max_tokens: 200
  });
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      messages=[
          {

### Document Processing (PDF)

Gemini's vision capabilities excel at understanding the content of PDF documents, including text, tables, and images.

<Card href="https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/document-understanding#googlegenaisdk_textgen_with_pdf-python_genai_sdk" title="Gemini Documents Understanding Docs" />

**Method 1: Sending a Document via Google Files URL**

Upload your PDF using the Files API to get a Google Files URL.

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript NodeJS theme={"system"}
  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      model: 'gemini-1.5-pro',
      messages: [{
          role: 'user',
          content: [
              {
                  type: 'image_url',
                  image_url: {
                      url: 'https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/your-pdf-file-id'
                  }
              },
              { type: 'text', text: 'Summarize the key findings of this research paper.' }
          ]
      }],
  });
  console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model='gemini-1.5-pro',
      messages=[{
          "role": "user",
          "content": [
              {
                  "type": "image_url",
                  "image_url": {
                      "url": "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/your-pdf-file-id"
                  }
              },
              { "type": "text", "text": "Summarize the key findings of this research paper." }
          ]
      }],
  )
  print(completion.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl --location 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions' \
  --header 'x-portkey-provider: google' \
  --header 'x-portkey-api-key: YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: VERTEX_AI_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  --data '{
      "model": "@VERTEX_PROVIDER/MODEL_NAME",
      "messages": [{
          "role": "user",
          "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Summarize the key findings of this research paper."},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/your-pdf-file-id"}}
          ]
      }]
  }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Method 2: Sending a Local Document as Base64 Data**

This is suitable for smaller, local PDF files.

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript NodeJS theme={"system"}
  import fs from 'fs';

  const pdfBytes = fs.readFileSync('whitepaper.pdf');
  const base64Pdf = pdfBytes.toString('base64');
  const pdfUri = `data:application/pdf;base64,${base64Pdf}`;

  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      model: '@VERTEX_PROVIDER/MODEL_NAME',
      messages: [{
          role: 'user',
          content: [
              { type: 'image_url', image_url: { url: pdfUri }},
              { type: 'text', text: 'What is the main conclusion of this document?' }
          ]
      }],
  });
  console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  import base64

  with open("whitepaper.pdf", "rb") as pdf_file:
      pdf_bytes = pdf_file.read()

  base64_pdf = base64.b64encode(pdf_bytes).decode('utf-8')
  pdf_uri = f"data:application/pdf;base64,{base64_pdf}"

  completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model='@VERTEX_PROVIDER/MODEL_NAME',
      messages=[{
          "role": "user",
          "content": [
              { "type": "image_url", "image_url": { "url": pdf_uri }},
              { "type": "text", "text": "What is the main conclusion of this document?" }
          ]
      }],
  )
  print(completion.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  # First, encode your PDF file to base64
  # For example: base64 -i whitepaper.pdf -o pdf.b64
  # Then use the encoded content in the request

  curl --location 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions' \
  --header 'x-portkey-provider: google' \
  --header 'x-portkey-api-key: YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: VERTEX_AI_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  --data '{
      "model": "@VERTEX_PROVIDER/MODEL_NAME",
      "messages": [{
          "role": "user",
          "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "What is the main conclusion of this document?"},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "data:application/pdf;base64,YOUR_BASE64_PDF_DATA"}}
          ]
      }]
  }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>While you can send other document types like `.txt` or `.html`, they will be treated as plain text. Gemini's native document vision capabilities are optimized for the `application/pdf` MIME type.</Note>

***

## Extended Thinking (Reasoning Models) (Beta)

<Note>
  The assistants thinking response is returned in the `response_chunk.choices[0].delta.content_blocks` array, not the `response.choices[0].message.content` string.

  Gemini models do not support plugging back the reasoning into multi turn conversations, so you don't need to send the thinking message back to the model.
</Note>

Models like `google.gemini-2.5-flash-preview-04-17` `anthropic.claude-3-7-sonnet@20250219` support [extended thinking](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/partner-models/use-claude#claude-3-7-sonnet).
This is similar to openai thinking, but you get the model's reasoning as it processes the request as well.

Note that you will have to set [`strict_open_ai_compliance=False`](/product/ai-gateway/strict-open-ai-compliance) in the headers to use this feature.

### Single turn conversation

      ]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  To disable thinking for gemini models like `google.gemini-2.5-flash-preview-04-17`, you are required to explicitly set `budget_tokens` to `0`.

  ```json theme={"system"}
  "thinking": {
      "type": "enabled",
      "budget_tokens": 0
  }
  ```
</Note>

### Using reasoning\_effort Parameter

You can also control thinking using the OpenAI-compatible `reasoning_effort` parameter instead of `thinking.budget_tokens`. The value is passed directly to Gemini as the `thinkingLevel`:

```python theme={"system"}
response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    model="@VERTEX_PROVIDER/google.gemini-2.5-flash-preview-04-17",
    max_tokens=3000,
    reasoning_effort="medium",  # Options: "none", "minimal", "low", "medium", "high"
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing"}]
)
```

| reasoning\_effort | Vertex thinkingLevel |
| ----------------- | -------------------- |
| `none`            | Disabled             |
| `minimal`         | `minimal`            |
| `low`             | `low`                |
| `medium`          | `medium`             |
| `high`            | `high`               |

### Sending `base64` Image

Here, you can send the `base64` image data along with the `url` field too:&#x20;

```json theme={"system"}
"url": "data:image/png;base64,UklGRkacAABXRUJQVlA4IDqcAAC....."
```

<Note>
  This same message format also works for all other media types — just send your media file in the `url` field, like `"url": "gs://cloud-samples-data/video/animals.mp4"` for google cloud urls and `"url":"https://download.samplelib.com/mp3/sample-3s.mp3"` for public urls

  Your URL should have the file extension, this is used for inferring `MIME_TYPE` which is a required parameter for prompting Gemini models with files
</Note>

## Text Embedding Models

You can use any of Vertex AI's `English` and `Multilingual` models through Portkey, in the familar OpenAI-schema.

<Note>
  The Gemini-specific parameter `task_type` is also supported on Portkey.

## Function Calling

Portkey supports function calling mode on Google's Gemini Models. Explore this <Icon icon="square-down" /> Cookbook for a deep dive and examples:

<Info>
  [Function Calling](/guides/getting-started/function-calling)
</Info>

## Managing Vertex AI Prompts

You can manage all prompts to Google Gemini in the [Prompt Library](/product/prompt-library). All the models in the model garden are supported and you can easily start testing different prompts.

Once you're ready with your prompt, you can use the `portkey.prompts.completions.create` interface to use the prompt in your application.

## Image Generation Models

Portkey supports the `Imagen API` on Vertex AI for image generations, letting you easily make requests in the familar OpenAI-compliant schema.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/images/generations \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -H "x-portkey-provider: $PORTKEY_PROVIDER" \
    -d '{
      "prompt": "Cat flying to mars from moon",
      "model":"@your-model-slug"
    }'
  ```

  ```py Python theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  client = Portkey(
    api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
  )

  client.images.generate(
    prompt = "Cat flying to mars from moon",
    model = "@VERTEX_PROVIDER/imagen-3.0-generate-001" # your model slug from Portkey's Model Catalog
  )
  ```

  ```ts JavaScript theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

  const client = new Portkey({
    apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',

  async function main() {
    const image = await client.images.generate({
      prompt: "Cat flying to mars from moon",
      model: "@VERTEX_PROVIDER/imagen-3.0-generate-001" # your model slug from Portkey's Model Catalog
    });

    console.log(image.data);
  }
  main();

* `imagegeneration@006`
* `imagegeneration@005`
* `imagegeneration@002`

## Custom Metadata Labels

<Warning>
  The recommended way to attribute costs and track usage is to use [metadata](/product/observability/metadata) which allows your workflows to be vendor agnostic
</Warning>

Vertex AI supports adding custom labels to your API calls for attribution.
Pass labels in your request body or configure them in your gateway config using `override_params`.

## Grounding with Google Search

Vertex AI supports grounding with Google Search. This is a feature that allows you to ground your LLM responses with real-time search results.
Grounding is invoked by passing the `google_search` tool (for newer models like gemini-2.0-flash-001), and `google_search_retrieval` (for older models like gemini-1.5-flash) in the `tools` array.

```json theme={"system"}
"tools": [
    {
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "google_search" // or google_search_retrieval for older models
        }
    }]
```

<Warning>
  If you mix regular tools with grounding tools, vertex might throw an error saying only one tool can be used at a time.
</Warning>

## gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp and other thinking/reasoning models

`gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp` models return a Chain of Thought response along with the actual inference text,
this is not openai compatible, however, Portkey supports this by adding a `\r\n\r\n` and appending the two responses together.
You can split the response along this pattern to get the Chain of Thought response and the actual inference text.

If you require the Chain of Thought response along with the actual inference text, pass the [strict open ai compliance flag](/product/ai-gateway/strict-open-ai-compliance) as `false` in the request.

If you want to get the inference text only, pass the [strict open ai compliance flag](/product/ai-gateway/strict-open-ai-compliance) as `true` in the request.

## Thought Signatures (Tool Calling Verification)

<Note>
  Set `x-portkey-strict-open-ai-compliance` to `false` to receive the `thought_signature` in the response. This header must be included in all requests when using thought signatures.
</Note>

Google's Gemini 3 Pro model requires passing a `thought_signature` parameter in tool calling conversations for verifying the payload. This signature is returned by the model in the assistant's tool call response and must be included when continuing multi-turn conversations.

<Card href="https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/thought-signatures" title="Google Gemini Thought Signatures Documentation" />

### Single turn conversation

In a single-turn conversation, you make a request with tools defined, and the model returns tool calls with thought signatures.

The response contains the `saftetyRatings` keys in the choice object of the response.
You only need to pass the `strict-open-ai-compliance` flag if you need the `safetyRatings` in response.

## Making Requests Without Portkey's Model Catalog

You can also pass your Vertex AI details & secrets directly without using the Portkey's Model Catalog.

Vertex AI expects a `region`, a `project ID` and the `access token` in the request for a successful completion request. This is how you can specify these fields directly in your requests:

* Find the **Region dropdown** on the same page to get your Vertex Region.

### Get Your Service Account JSON

* [Follow this process](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/keys-create-delete) to get your Service Account JSON.

When selecting Service Account File as your authentication method, you'll need to:

1. Upload your Google Cloud service account JSON file
2. Specify the Vertex Region

This method is particularly important for using self-deployed models, as your service account must have the `aiplatform.endpoints.predict` permission to access custom endpoints.

Learn more about permission on your Vertex IAM key [here](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/general/iam-permissions).

<Info>
  **For Self-Deployed Models**: Your service account **must** have the `aiplatform.endpoints.predict` permission in Google Cloud IAM. Without this specific permission, requests to custom endpoints will fail.
</Info>

### Using Project ID and Region Authentication

For standard Vertex AI models, you can simply provide:

1. Your Vertex Project ID (found in your Google Cloud console)
2. The Vertex Region where your models are deployed

This method is simpler but may not have all the permissions needed for custom endpoints.

# Batches
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/vertex-ai/batches

Perform batch inference with Vertex AI

With Portkey, you can perform batch inference operations with Vertex AI models. This is the most efficient way to:

* Process large volumes of data with Vertex AI models
* Test your data with different foundation models
* Perform A/B testing with different foundation models

## Before You Start

1. **Portkey API key** and a **Vertex virtual key** in your workspace.
2. A **GCS bucket** in the same region as your model + `aiplatform-service-agent` permission on the file.
3. *(Only for Portkey-native batching)* A **Portkey File** (`input_file_id`).
4. Familiarity with the [Create Batch OpenAPI spec](/api-reference/inference-api/batch/create-batch).

<Info>
  Portkey supports **two modes** on Vertex:

  * **[Provider Batch API](#using-vertex-batch-api-through-portkey)** (cheapest, completion\_window: `24h`, `48h`, etc.)
  * **[Portkey Batch API](/product/ai-gateway/batches#portkey-batch-api-mode)** (fast, provider-agnostic, completion\_window: `immediate`)
</Info>

# Controlled Generations
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/vertex-ai/controlled-generations

Controlled Generations ensure that the model always follows your supplied [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/overview/what-is-jsonschema). Portkey supports Vertex AI's Controlled Generations feature out of the box with our SDKs & APIs. 

Controlled Generations allows you to constrain model responses to predefined sets of values. This is particularly useful for classification tasks, multiple choice responses, and structured data extraction.

<Note>
  This feature is available for `Gemini 1.5 Pro` & `Gemini 1.5 Flash` models.
</Note>

## With Pydantic & Zod

Portkey SDKs for [Python and JavaScript](/api-reference/sdk) also make it easy to define object schemas using [Pydantic](https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/) and [Zod](https://zod.dev/) respectively. Below, you can see how to extract information from unstructured text that conforms to a schema defined in code.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Pydantic with Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    class Step(BaseModel):
        explanation: str
        output: str

    class MathReasoning(BaseModel):
        steps: list[Step]
        final_answer: str

    portkey = Portkey(

Upload files to Google Cloud Storage for Vertex AI fine-tuning and batch inference

To perform fine-tuning or batch inference with Vertex AI, you need to upload files to Google Cloud Storage.
With Portkey, you can easily upload files to GCS and use them for fine-tuning or batch inference with Vertex AI models.

## Uploading Files

# vLLM
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/vllm

Integrate vLLM-hosted custom models with Portkey and take them to production

Portkey provides a robust and secure platform to observe, govern, and manage your **locally** or **privately** hosted custom models using vLLM.

<Info>
  Here's a [list](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/models/supported_models.html) of all model architectures supported on vLLM.
</Info>

## Integrating Custom Models with Portkey SDK

<Steps>
  <Step title="Expose your vLLM Server">
    Expose your vLLM server by using a tunneling service like [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) or any other way you prefer. You can skip this step if you’re self-hosting the Gateway.

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    ngrok http 11434 --host-header="localhost:8080"
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the Portkey SDK">
    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="NodeJS">
        ```sh theme={"system"}
        npm install --save portkey-ai
        ```
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Python">
        ```sh theme={"system"}
        pip install portkey-ai
        ```
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize Portkey with vLLM custom URL">
    1. Pass your publicly-exposed vLLM server URL to Portkey with `customHost` (by default, vLLM is on `http://localhost:8000/v1`)
    2. Set target `provider` as `openai` since the server follows OpenAI API schema.

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
        ```js theme={"system"}
        import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

        const portkey = new Portkey({
            apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider: "openai",
            customHost: "https://7cc4-3-235-157-146.ngrok-free.app" // Your vLLM ngrok URL
            Authorization: "AUTH_KEY", // If you need to pass auth
        })
        ```
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Python SDK">
        ```python theme={"system"}
        from portkey_ai import Portkey

        portkey = Portkey(
            api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider="openai",
            custom_host="https://7cc4-3-235-157-146.ngrok-free.app" # Your vLLM ngrok URL
            Authorization="AUTH_KEY", # If you need to pass auth
        )
        ```
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>

    More on `custom_host` [here](/product/ai-gateway/universal-api#integrating-local-or-private-models).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invoke Chat Completions">
    Use the Portkey SDK to invoke chat completions from your model, just as you would with any other provider:

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
        ```js theme={"system"}
        const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
            messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }]
        });

        console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
        ```
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Python SDK">
        ```python theme={"system"}
        completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
            messages= [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }]
        )

        print(completion)
        ```
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## [Using Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys)

Virtual Keys serve as Portkey's unified authentication system for all LLM interactions, simplifying the use of multiple providers and Portkey features within your application. For self-hosted LLMs, you can configure custom authentication requirements including authorization keys, bearer tokens, or any other headers needed to access your model:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

1. Navigate to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in your Portkey dashboard
2. Click **"Add Key"** and enable the **"Local/Privately hosted provider"** toggle
3. Configure your deployment:
   * Select the matching provider API specification (typically `OpenAI`)
   * Enter your model's base URL in the `Custom Host` field
   * Add required authentication headers and their values
4. Click **"Create"** to generate your virtual key

You can now use this virtual key in your requests:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider:"@YOUR_SELF_HOSTED_LLM_PROVIDER"

    async function main() {
      const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Bob the builder.." }],
        model: "your-self-hosted-model-name",
      });

    console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_SELF_HOSTED_LLM_PROVIDER"
    )

    response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="your-self-hosted-model-name",
      messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
      ]

    print(response)
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

# Access Control Management
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/access-control-management

With customizable user roles, API key management, and comprehensive audit logs, Portkey provides the flexibility and control needed to ensure secure collaboration & maintain a strong security posture

<Check>
  This is a Portkey [**Enterprise**](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering) plan feature.
</Check>

At Portkey, we understand the critical importance of access control and data security for enterprise customers. Our platform provides a robust and flexible access control management system that enables you to safeguard your sensitive information while empowering your teams to collaborate effectively.

## 1. Isolated and Customizable Organizations

Portkey's enterprise version allows you to create multiple `organizations`, each serving as a secure and isolated environment for your teams or projects. This multi-tenant architecture ensures that your data, logs, analytics, prompts, integrations, providers, configs, guardrails, and API keys are strictly confined within each `organization`, preventing unauthorized access and maintaining data confidentiality.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

With the ability to create and manage multiple organizations, you can tailor access control to match your company's structure and project requirements. Users can be assigned to specific organizations, and they can seamlessly switch between them using Portkey's intuitive user interface.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## 2. Fine-Grained User Roles and Permissions

Portkey offers a comprehensive Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system that allows you to define and assign user roles with granular permissions. By default, Portkey provides three roles: `Owner`, `Admin`, and `Member`, each with a predefined set of permissions across various features.

* `Owners` have complete control over the organization, including user management, billing, and all platform features.
* `Admins` have elevated privileges, allowing them to manage users, prompts, configs, guardrails, integrations, providers, and API keys.
* `Members` have access to essential features like logs, analytics, prompts, configs, and integrations, providers, with limited permissions.

| Feature                  | Owner Role                                  | Admin Role                                  | Member Role                |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Logs and Analytics       | View, Filter, Group                         | View, Filter, Group                         | View, Filter, Group        |

| Model Catalog: Models    | List, Create, Edit, Duplicate, Delete, Copy | List, Create, Edit, Duplicate, Delete, Copy | List, Copy                 |
| Team                     | Add users, assign roles                     | Add users, assign roles                     | -                          |
| Organisation             | Update                                      | Update                                      | -                          |
| API Keys                 | Create, Edit, Delete, Update, Rotate        | Create, Edit, Delete, Update, Rotate        | -                          |
| Billing                  | Manage                                      | -                                           | -                          |

You can easily add team members to your organization and assign them appropriate roles based on their responsibilities. Portkey's user-friendly interface simplifies the process of inviting users and managing their roles, ensuring that the right people have access to the right resources.

## 3. Secure and Customizable API Key Management

Portkey provides a secure and flexible API key management system that allows you to create and manage multiple API keys with fine-grained permissions. Each API key can be customized to grant specific access levels to different features, such as metrics, completions, prompts, configs, guardrails, integrations, providers, team management, and API key management.

| Feature                     | Permissions                   | Default  |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------- | -------- |
| Metrics                     | Disabled, Enabled             | Disabled |
| Completions (all LLM calls) | Disabled, Enabled             | Enabled  |
| Prompts                     | Disabled, Read, Write, Delete | Read     |
| Configs                     | Disabled, Read, Write, Delete | Disabled |
| Guardrails                  | Disabled, Read, Write, Delete | Disabled |
| Integrations                | Disabled, Read, Write, Delete | Disabled |
| Model Catalog: Providers    | Disabled, Read, Write, Delete | Disabled |
| Model Catalog: Models       | Disabled, Read, Write, Delete | Disabled |
| Users (Team Management)     | Disabled, Read, Write, Delete | Disabled |

By default, a new organization is provisioned with a master API key that has all permissions enabled. Owners and admins can edit and manage these keys, as well as create new API keys with tailored permissions. This granular control enables you to enforce the principle of least privilege, ensuring that each API key has access only to the necessary resources.

Portkey's API key management system provides a secure and auditable way to control access to your organization's data and resources, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

## Audit Logs

Portkey maintains detailed audit logs that capture all administrative activities across the platform. These logs provide visibility into actions related to prompts, configs, guardrails, integrations, providers, team management, organization updates, and API key modifications.

Each log entry includes information about the user, the action performed, the affected resource, and a timestamp. This ensures traceability and accountability, helping teams monitor changes and investigate any unauthorized activity.

Audit logs can be filtered by user, action type, resource, and time range, making it easy to track specific events. Organizations can use this data to enforce security policies, ensure compliance, and maintain operational integrity.

# Budget Limits
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/budget-limits





# Budget Policies
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/budget-policies

Manage usage limits and rate limits policies for your organisation

<Info>
  Available on **Enterprise** Self Hosting plan only.

  Requires **1.17.0** or higher version of the Gateway.
</Info>

# Policies

* Policies allow organisations to apply flexible budget and rate limit controls based on dynamic conditions (API keys, metadata, workspace, etc.).

* There are two types of policies:
  1. **Usage Limits Policies**: Control the total usage (cost or tokens) over a period
  2. **Rate Limits Policies**: Control the rate of requests or tokens per minute/hour/day

## Policy Structure

Both policy types share common concepts:

### Conditions

Conditions define which requests the policy applies to. Each condition has a `key` and `value`:

**Valid keys:**

* `api_key` - Apply to a specific API key
* `workspace_id` - Apply to a workspace
* `metadata.*` - Apply based on custom metadata fields (e.g., `metadata._user`, `metadata.team`)

**Example:**

```json theme={"system"}
[
  {
    "key": "api_key",
    "value": "*"
  },
  {
    "key": "metadata.team",
    "value": "engineering"
  }
]
```

### Group By

Group by defines how usage is aggregated. Each group entry has a `key`:

**Valid keys:**

* `api_key` - Group by API key
* `workspace_id` - Group by workspace
* `metadata.*` - Group by custom metadata fields

**Example:**

```json theme={"system"}
[
  {
    "key": "api_key"
  },
  {
    "key": "metadata._user"
  }
]
```

### Authentication

All policy endpoints require authentication. You can authenticate using:

* **API Key**: Include in `x-portkey-api-key` header

### Permissions

Policies require the following RBAC permissions:

## Usage Limits Policies

Usage limits policies allow you to set maximum usage (cost or tokens) that can be consumed over a period. When the limit is reached, requests will be blocked until the limit resets.

### Policy Types

Usage limits policies support two types:

* **`cost`**: Limit based on total cost (in dollars)
* **`tokens`**: Limit based on total tokens consumed

## Usage Limits Policies

Usage limits policies allow you to set maximum usage (cost or tokens) that can be consumed over a period. When the limit is reached, requests will be blocked until the limit resets.

<Note>
  When a usage limit is exceeded, Portkey returns a **412 Precondition Failed** HTTP status code.
</Note>

### Policy Types

# Enterprise Components
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/components



Portkey's Enterprise Components provide the core infrastructure needed for production deployments. Each component handles a specific function - analytics, logging, or caching - with multiple implementation options to match your requirements.

***

## Analytics Store

Portkey leverages Clickhouse as the primary Analytics Store for the Control Panel, offering powerful capabilities for handling large-scale analytical workloads.

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Clickhouse" icon="columns-3" href="https://github.com/Portkey-AI/helm-chart/tree/main/helm/enterprise#analytics-store" />
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  Portkey supports exporting your Clickhouse analytics data to OpenTelemetry (OTel) compatible collectors, allowing you to integrate Portkey's analytics with your existing observability infrastructure.
</Note>

***

## Log Store

Portkey provides flexible options for storing and managing logs in your enterprise deployment. Choose from various storage solutions including MongoDB for document-based storage, AWS S3 for cloud-native object storage, or Wasabi for cost-effective cloud storage. Each option offers different benefits in terms of scalability, cost, and integration capabilities.

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="MongoDB" icon="leaf" href="/integrations/libraries/mongodb" />

  <Card title="AWS S3" icon="cubes" href="https://github.com/Portkey-AI/helm-chart/tree/main/helm/enterprise#log-storage" />

  <Card title="Wasabi" href="https://github.com/Portkey-AI/helm-chart/tree/main/helm/enterprise#log-storage" icon="trees" />
</CardGroup>

***

## Cache Store

Portkey supports robust caching solutions to optimize performance and reduce latency in your enterprise deployment. Choose between Redis for in-memory caching or AWS ElastiCache for a fully managed caching service.

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Redis" icon="r" href="https://github.com/Portkey-AI/helm-chart/tree/main/helm/enterprise#cache-store" />

  <Card title="AWS Elastic Cache" icon="aws" href="https://github.com/Portkey-AI/helm-chart/tree/main/helm/enterprise#cache-store" />
</CardGroup>

## Semantic Cache Store

Portkey supports semantic caching capabilities that allow for intelligent caching based on the semantic meaning of requests rather than exact matches. For this functionality, Portkey requires a vector database to efficiently store and retrieve embeddings. Both Milvus and Pinecone are supported vector databases for Portkey's semantic cache implementation.

* You need a **Milvus** deployment with a collection configured with 1536 dimensions

* **Pinecone** can be configured with a Pinecone index of 1536 dimensions to store the embeddings

This specific dimension size is required as Portkey uses OpenAI's text-embedding-small model to create embeddings


# KMS Integration
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/kms

Customers can bring their own encryption keys to Portkey AI to encrypt data at storage.

This document outlines how customers can bring their own encryption keys to Portkey AI to encrypt data at storage.

## Overview

Portkey AI supports integration with Key Management Services (KMS) to encrypt data at storage. This integration allows customers to manage their encryption keys and data protection policies through their existing KMS infrastructure.

## Supported KMS Providers

Portkey AI supports integration with the following KMS providers:

* AWS KMS

### Encryption Methodology

Envelope encryption is used to encrypt data at storage. The data is encrypted with a key that is stored in the KMS provider.

```mermaid theme={"system"}
sequenceDiagram
    participant Application
    participant AWS_KMS as AWS KMS (CMK)
    participant Encrypted_Storage

    Application->>AWS_KMS: Request DEK (GenerateDataKey)
    AWS_KMS-->>Application: Returns Plaintext DEK + Encrypted DEK
    Application->>Encrypted_Storage: Encrypt Data with DEK
    Application->>Encrypted_Storage: Store Encrypted Data + Encrypted DEK
    Application->>AWS_KMS: Decrypt Encrypted DEK
    AWS_KMS-->>Application: Returns Plaintext DEK
    Application->>Application: Decrypt Data using DEK
```

### Encrypted Fields

* Configs
  * Full template
* LLM Integrations
  * Auth Key
  * Auth Configuration
* Prompts
  * Full Template
* Prompt Partials
  * Full Template
* Guardrails
  * Checks
  * Actions
* Integrations/Plugins
  * Auth Credentials/Keys
* SSO/OAuth
  * Client Secret
  * Auth Settings

### Integration Steps:

Integrating with a KMS provider requires the following steps:

1. Create a KMS key in your KMS provider.
2. Update the key policy to allow Portkey AI to access the key.
3. Share the ARN of the key with the Portkey AI team.

For AWS KMS, the Portkey Account ARN is:

```sh Portkey Account ARN theme={"system"}
arn:aws:iam::299329113195:role/EnterpriseKMSPolicy
```

<Note>
  The above ARN only works when control plane is hosted on [hosted app](https://app.portkey.ai/).<br />

  To enable KMS for AWS in your Portkey Enterprise self hosted control plane deployment. Please reach out to your Portkey representative or contact us on [support@portkey.ai](mailto:support@portkey.ai).
</Note>

## AWS KMS Key Creation Guide

1. Go to **Key Management Service (KMS)** in the AWS console and navigate to **Customer Managed Keys**.
2. Click on **Create Key**.
3. Select:
   * **Key Type**: Symmetric
   * **Key Usage**: Encrypt and Decrypt
4. Name the key according to your criteria.
5. Define key administrative permissions according to your criteria.
6. Define key usage permissions according to your criteria.
7. Once created, update the **Key Policy** with the following policy:

```json theme={"system"}

  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Id": "key-consolepolicy-3",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "Allow use of the key",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::299329113195:role/EnterpriseKMSPolicy"
      },
      "Action": [
        "kms:Encrypt",
        "kms:Decrypt",
        "kms:ReEncrypt*",
        "kms:GenerateDataKey*",
        "kms:DescribeKey"
      ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}
```

8. Update the Key Arn in Portkey AI Admin Settings.

Setup Azure Entra for SCIM provisioning with Portkey.

#### Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)

[Reference](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/app-provisioning/use-scim-to-provision-users-and-groups)

Setting up Azure Entra for SCIM provisioning consists of the following steps:

* **New Entra Application & SCIM Provisioning**
* **Application Roles**
* **SCIM Attribute Mapping Update**

***

##### New Entra Application

First, create a new Azure Entra application to set up SCIM provisioning with Portkey.

1. Navigate to the [Entra Applications Page](https://entra.microsoft.com/?culture=en-in\&country=in#view/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/AppGalleryBladeV2) and click **`Create your own application`**.

   <img alt="Application Creation" />

2. Complete the required fields to create a new application.

3. Once the application is created, navigate to the application's **Provisioning** page under the **Manage** section.

4. Click **`New Configuration`** to go to the provisioning settings page.

   <img alt="Provisioning Settings" />

5. Obtain the **Tenant URL** and **Secret Token** from the Portkey Admin Settings page (if SCIM is enabled for your organization).

   * [Portkey Settings Page](https://app.portkey.ai/settings/organisation/sso)

   <img alt="Portkey Admin Settings" />

6. Fill in the values from the Portkey dashboard in Entra's provisioning settings and click **`Test Connection`**. If successful, click **`Create`**.

> If the test connection returns any errors, please contact us at [support@portkey.ai](mailto:support@portkey.ai).

***

##### Application Roles

Portkey supported roles should match Entra's application roles.

1. Navigate to **App Registrations** under **Enterprise Applications**, click **All Applications**, and select the application created earlier.
2. Go to the **App Roles** page and click **`Create app role`**.
   > Portkey supports two application-level roles:
   >

   > * **`admin`**  (Organization Admin)
   > * **`owner`**  (Organization Owner)

<img alt="App Roles" />

> Users assigned any other role will default to the **member** role.

3. To support group roles, create a role with the value **`group`** and a name in title-case (e.g., `Group` for the value `group`).

   <img alt="Creating App Roles" />

4. Assign users to the application with the desired role (e.g., **`owner`**, **`member`**, or **`admin`**) for the organization.

   <img alt="Assigning Roles" />

***

#### Attribute Mapping

###### Adding a New Attribute

1. Go to the **Provisioning** page and click **Attribute Mapping (Preview)** to access the attributes page.

2. Enable advanced options and click **`Edit attribute list for customappsso`**.

   <img alt="Edit Attribute List" />

3. Add a new attribute called **`roles`** with the following properties:

   * **Multi-valued:** Enabled

###### Removing Unnecessary Attributes

Delete the following unsupported attributes:

* **preferredLanguage**
* **addresses (all fields)**
* **phoneNumbers**

***

#### Updating Attributes

**Update `displayName`**

1. Edit the **`displayName`** field to concatenate `firstName + lastName` instead of using the default `displayName` value from Entra records.

   <img alt="Update displayName Expression" />

2. Save the changes and enable provisioning on the **Overview** page of the provisioning settings.

***

<Tip>Looking for Workspace Management? Check out our [Workspace Management](/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/scim/group-management) page.</Tip>

##### Group (Workspace) Provisioning

Portkey supports RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) for workspaces mapped to groups in Entra. You have two options for mapping groups to workspaces:

**Option 1: Flexible Group Mapping (Recommended)**

Provision groups with any naming convention from Azure Entra, then map them to workspaces and assign roles directly from Portkey Control Plane. This eliminates the need for specific naming formats.

1. Provision your groups from Azure Entra (assign groups to the application)
2. Navigate to **Admin Settings > Authentication Settings > SCIM Provisioning** in Portkey
3. Use the **SCIM Mappings List** section to map groups to workspaces and assign roles

For detailed instructions, see the [SCIM Group Management](/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/scim/group-management) guide.

<Info>
  This is the recommended approach as it provides flexibility in group naming and easier management of group-to-workspace mappings.
</Info>

**Option 2: Naming Convention (Legacy)**

Alternatively, you can use the following naming convention for automatic mapping:

* **Format:** `ws-{group}-role-{role}`
  * **Role:** One of `admin`, `member`, or `manager`
* A user should belong to only one group per `{group}`.

**Example:**
For a `Sales` workspace:

* `ws-Sales-role-admin`
* `ws-Sales-role-manager`
* `ws-Sales-role-member`

Users assigned to these groups will inherit the corresponding role in Portkey.

**Custom Prefix and Separator Configuration:**

You can configure your own prefix and separator to match your organization's group naming conventions. Navigate to **Admin Settings > Authentication Settings > SCIM Provisioning** in Portkey Control Plane and configure the **Pattern Based SCIM Grouping** section with your preferred prefix and separator.

For example, if you configure:

* **Prefix:** `ws-`
* **Role Separator:** `-role-`

Then your groups should follow: `ws-{group}{role_separator}{admin,manager,member}`

For detailed instructions, see the [SCIM Group Management](/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/scim/group-management#configuring-group-naming-format-optional) guide.

<img alt="Entra Group Role Mapping" />

### Support

If you face any issues with the group provisioning, please reach out to us at [here](mailto:support@portkey.ai).


# Okta
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/scim/okta

Set up Okta for SCIM provisioning with Portkey.

Portkey supports provisioning Users & Groups with Okta SAML Apps.

<Warning>
  Okta does not support SCIM Provisioning with OIDC apps; only SAML apps are supported.
</Warning>

To set up SCIM provisioning between Portkey and Okta, you must first create a SAML App on Okta.

***

### Setting up SCIM Provisioning

1. Navigate to the app settings. Under general settings, enable the SCIM provisioning checkbox.

   <img alt="Enable SCIM Provisioning" />

   <Info>
     The `Provisioning` tab should be visible after enabling SCIM provisioning. Navigate to that page.
   </Info>

2. Obtain the Tenant URL and Secret Token from the Portkey Admin Settings page (if SCIM is enabled for your organization).

   * [Portkey Settings Page](https://app.portkey.ai/settings/organisation/sso)

   <img alt="Portkey Admin Settings" />

3. Fill in the values from the Portkey dashboard into Okta's provisioning settings and click **`Test Connection`**. If successful, click **`Save`**.
   <Note>
     Ensure you choose the Authentication Mode as `HTTP Header`.
   </Note>

4. Check all the boxes as specified in the image below for full support of SCIM provisioning operations.

   <img alt="Provisioning Settings" />

5. Once the details are saved, you will see two more options along with integration, namely `To App` and `To Okta`.

   Select `To App` to configure provisioning from Okta to Portkey.

   Enable the following checkboxes:

   * Create Users
   * Update User Attributes
   * Deactivate Users

   <img alt="Provisioning Settings" />

   After saving the settings, the application header should resemble the following image.

   <img alt="Okta App Provisioning Status" />

This completes the SCIM provisioning settings between Okta and Portkey.

Whenever you assign a `User` or `Group` to the application, Okta automatically pushes the updates to Portkey.

***

### Organisation role support

Portkey supports the following organisation roles:

* **`owner`**  (Organization Owner)
* **`admin`**  (Organization Admin)
* **`member`**  (Organization Member)

Users assigned any other role will default to the **member** role.

#### Editing Attributes

Okta by default doesn't support role attributes. To support role attributes, you need to edit the attributes in Okta.

1. Navigate to the app settings. Under general settings, click on the `Provisioning` tab.

2. Click on the `Go to Profile Editor` button, found under **Attribute Mappings** section.

3. Click on the `Add Attribute` button.

4. Fill the form with the following details:

   <img alt="Edit Attribute List" />

5. Click on the `Save` button.

#### Verifying the changes

To verify the changes, you can assign a user to the application with the desired role (e.g., **`owner`**, **`member`**, or **`admin`**) for the organization.

<img alt="Assigning Roles" />

<Warning>
  Make sure to select only **one** role for a user, if multiple selected user will be assigned to highest qualified role.
</Warning>

***

### Group Provisioning with Okta

Portkey supports RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) for workspaces mapped to groups in Okta. You have two options for mapping groups to workspaces:

**Option 1: Flexible Group Mapping (Recommended)**

Provision groups with any naming convention from Okta, then map them to workspaces and assign roles directly from Portkey Control Plane. This eliminates the need for specific naming formats.

1. Push your groups to Portkey from Okta (see steps below)
2. Navigate to **Admin Settings > Authentication Settings > SCIM Provisioning** in Portkey
3. Use the **SCIM Mappings List** section to map groups to workspaces and assign roles

For detailed instructions, see the [SCIM Group Management](/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/scim/group-management) guide.

<Info>
  This is the recommended approach as it provides flexibility in group naming and easier management of group-to-workspace mappings.
</Info>

**Option 2: Naming Convention (Legacy)**

Alternatively, you can use the following naming convention for automatic mapping:

* **Format:** `ws-{group}-role-{role}`
  * **Role:** One of `admin`, `member`, or `manager`
* A user should belong to only one group per `{group}`.

**Example:**
For a `Sales` workspace:

* `ws-Sales-role-admin`
* `ws-Sales-role-manager`
* `ws-Sales-role-member`

Users assigned to these groups will inherit the corresponding role in Portkey.

**Custom Prefix and Separator Configuration:**

You can configure your own prefix and separator to match your organization's group naming conventions. Navigate to **Admin Settings > Authentication Settings > SCIM Provisioning** in Portkey Control Plane and configure the **Pattern Based SCIM Grouping** section with your preferred prefix and separator.

For example, if you configure:

* **Prefix:** `ws-`
* **Role Separator:** `-role-`

Then your groups should follow: `ws-{group}{role_separator}{admin,manager,member}`

For detailed instructions, see the [SCIM Group Management](/product/enterprise-offering/org-management/scim/group-management#configuring-group-naming-format-optional) guide.

<img alt="Group Role Mapping" />

<Warning>
  Automatic provisioning with Okta works for `Users`, but it does not automatically work for `Groups`.
</Warning>

To support automatic provisioning for groups, you must first push the groups to the App (Portkey). Then, Okta will automatically provision updates.

To push the groups to Portkey, navigate to the `Push Groups` tab. If it is not found, ensure you have followed all the steps correctly and enabled all the fields mentioned in the Provisioning steps.

1. Click on **Push Groups**.

# Analytics Export
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/otel/analytics

Export Portkey analytics data to OpenTelemetry-compatible collectors for centralized observability

Portkey supports sending your Analytics data to OpenTelemetry (OTel) compatible collectors, allowing you to integrate Portkey's analytics with your existing observability infrastructure.

## Overview

While Portkey leverages Clickhouse as the primary Analytics Store for the Control Panel by default, enterprise customers can integrate Portkey's analytics data with their existing data infrastructure through OpenTelemetry.

This export focuses on **aggregated metrics and analytics data** such as:

* Request counts and latency metrics
* Token usage statistics
* Cost tracking data
* Error rates and status codes

<Note>
  For exporting complete request/response logs with full prompt and completion content, see [Complete Logs Export](/product/enterprise-offering/otel/complete-logs).
</Note>

## Configuration

Portkey supports pushing your analytics data to an OTel compatible endpoint. The following environment variables are needed for pushing to OTel:

```yaml theme={"system"}
OTEL_PUSH_ENABLED: true
OTEL_ENDPOINT: http://localhost:4318
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS: x-api-key=my-api-key,x-another-header=value
```

### Environment Variables

| Variable                     | Required | Description                                   |

| `OTEL_PUSH_ENABLED`          | Yes      | Set to `true` to enable analytics export      |
| `OTEL_ENDPOINT`              | Yes      | The OTLP endpoint URL                         |
| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS` | No       | Comma-separated headers in `key=value` format |

### Resource Attributes

You can configure arbitrary resource attributes of the OTel logs by setting a comma-separated value for `OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES`:

```yaml theme={"system"}
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME: portkey-gateway
OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES: ApplicationShortName=gateway,AssetId=12323,deployment.service=production
```

| Variable                   | Description                                                        |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `OTEL_SERVICE_NAME`        | Service name for the telemetry data                                |

# Complete Logs Export
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/otel/complete-logs

Export complete LLM request/response logs to OpenTelemetry endpoints following GenAI semantic conventions

<Note>
  This is an experimental feature available for **Enterprise** and **Self-Hosted** deployments only.
</Note>

## Overview

Portkey Gateway can push complete LLM request/response logs to any OpenTelemetry-compatible endpoint, following the [experimental semantic conventions for Generative AI](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/gen-ai/gen-ai-spans/). This enables integration with external observability platforms like LangSmith, Datadog, Honeycomb, or any OTLP-compatible collector.

Unlike the [Analytics Export](/product/enterprise-offering/otel/analytics), this feature exports **complete logs** including:

* Full prompt and completion content
* Tool definitions and function calls
* All request parameters (temperature, max\_tokens, etc.)
* Complete response metadata

### Why Use This Feature?

* **Unified Observability**: Consolidate LLM telemetry with your existing monitoring infrastructure
* **External Analysis**: Send Portkey logs to specialized GenAI observability tools like LangSmith
* **Standards-Based**: Follows OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions for consistent attribute naming
* **Zero Code Changes**: Enable via environment variables without modifying application code

## Scope

### Included

* Automatic log export to OTLP-compatible HTTP endpoints
* Full GenAI semantic convention attribute mapping
* Request parameters, response metadata, and token usage
* Tool definitions and prompt/completion content
* LangSmith-compatible attribute overrides

### Out of Scope

* gRPC OTLP transport (HTTP/JSON only)
* Metrics export (use [Analytics Export](/product/enterprise-offering/otel/analytics) for that)
* Custom attribute mapping configuration

## Architecture

```mermaid theme={"system"}
graph LR
    subgraph Portkey Gateway
        REQ[Incoming Request]
        PROC[Request Processing]
        LOG[Log Generation]
        PUSH[OTel Exporter]
    end
    
    LLM[LLM Provider]
    OTel[External OTel Endpoint]
    
    REQ --> PROC
    PROC --> LLM
    LLM --> PROC
    PROC --> LOG
    LOG --> PUSH
    PUSH --> OTel
```

**Data Flow:**

1. LLM request is processed through Portkey Gateway
2. After receiving the LLM response, a log object is generated
3. The log is transformed into OTLP span format with GenAI semantic attributes
4. The span is pushed to the configured external OTLP endpoint

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

| Variable                                          | Required | Description                                         |
| ------------------------------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_TRACES_ENABLED`         | Yes      | Set to `true` to enable log pushing                 |
| `EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` | Yes      | The OTLP endpoint URL (without `/v1/traces` suffix) |
| `EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS`  | No       | Comma-separated headers in `key=value` format       |

### Example Configuration

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="LangSmith">
    ```yaml theme={"system"}
    EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_TRACES_ENABLED: "true"
    EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT: https://api.smith.langchain.com/otel
    EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS: x-api-key=<your-langsmith-api-key>

    EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS: DD-API-KEY=<your-datadog-api-key>
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Custom Collector">
    ```yaml theme={"system"}

    EXPERIMENTAL_GEN_AI_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS: Authorization=Bearer <token>
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  The endpoint should be the base OTLP URL. Portkey automatically appends `/v1/traces` when sending data.
</Note>

## Span Attributes

Logs are exported as OpenTelemetry spans with attributes following the [GenAI semantic conventions](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/blob/main/model/gen-ai/spans.yaml).

### Resource Attributes

| `gen_ai.tool.definitions` | Array of tool definitions from request   |
| `tools`                   | LangSmith-specific tool definitions copy |

## Span Structure

Each log is exported as a span with the following structure:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "resourceSpans": [{
    "resource": {
      "attributes": [
        { "key": "service.name", "value": { "stringValue": "portkey" } },
        { "key": "otel.semconv.version", "value": { "stringValue": "1.37.0" } }
      ]
    },
    "scopeSpans": [{
      "scope": { "name": "custom.genai.instrumentation" },
      "spans": [{
        "traceId": "<32-char-hex>",
        "spanId": "<16-char-hex>",
        "parentSpanId": "<optional-16-char-hex>",
        "name": "<span-name>",
        "startTimeUnixNano": "<nanoseconds>",
        "endTimeUnixNano": "<nanoseconds>",
        "status": { "code": 1, "message": "200" },
        "attributes": [/* GenAI attributes */]
      }]
    }]
  }]
}
```

## Trace Context

The feature preserves trace context from incoming requests:

* **Trace ID**: Uses Portkey's trace ID if valid (32 hex chars), otherwise generates a new one
* **Span ID**: Uses Portkey's span ID if valid (16 hex chars), otherwise generates a new one
* **Parent Span ID**: Preserved from parent request if available

This allows correlation with upstream traces in distributed tracing scenarios.

## Error Handling

* **Export Failures**: Logged internally; does not affect request processing
* **Invalid Endpoints**: Connection errors are caught and logged
* **Malformed Responses**: Error responses from the OTLP endpoint are logged with status text

<Warning>
  Export failures do not block or retry the LLM request. Logs may be lost if the external endpoint is unavailable.
</Warning>

## Performance Considerations

* **Async Processing**: Log export runs in parallel with other post-request handlers
* **No Request Latency Impact**: Export happens after the response is returned
* **HTTP/JSON Protocol**: Uses standard HTTP POST with JSON payload

## Security Considerations

<Warning>
  When enabled, request/response content including prompts and completions are sent to the external endpoint. Ensure your endpoint is trusted and properly secured.
</Warning>

* **Authentication**: Use the headers configuration to pass API keys or bearer tokens
* **Data Sensitivity**: Prompt and completion content is included in exports
* **Network Security**: Use HTTPS endpoints for production deployments

## Integration with LangSmith

LangSmith uses a slightly different attribute format than the standard GenAI semantic conventions. Portkey includes compatibility attributes:

* Prompt messages use indexed format: `gen_ai.prompt.{index}.role` and `gen_ai.prompt.{index}.content`
* Tool definitions are duplicated in the `tools` attribute for LangSmith parsing

For LangSmith setup, refer to [LangSmith OpenTelemetry documentation](https://docs.smith.langchain.com/observability/how_to_guides/trace_with_opentelemetry).

## Verification

To verify the feature is working:

1. Enable the feature with your endpoint configuration
2. Make an LLM request through Portkey Gateway
3. Check your external observability platform for incoming spans
4. Verify spans contain expected GenAI attributes

## Known Limitations

<Warning>
  The [OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/gen-ai/gen-ai-spans/) are experimental and subject to change. Attribute names may evolve as the specification stabilizes.
</Warning>

* **HTTP Only**: gRPC OTLP protocol is not supported
* **No Batching**: Each log is pushed individually (no span batching)
* **No Retry Logic**: Failed exports are not retried
* **Experimental Conventions**: GenAI semantic conventions may change

  On the Enterprise plan and need to connect to Bedrock using an AWS assumed role? Check out the documentation here.
</Card>

## Select AWS Assumed Role Authentication

## Create an AWS Role for Portkey to Assume

This role you create will be used by Porktey to execute InvokeModel commands on Bedrock models in your AWS account. The setup process will establish a minimal-permission ("least privilege") role and set it up to allow Porktey to assume this role.

### Create a permission policy in your AWS account using the following JSON

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "BedrockConsole",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "bedrock:InvokeModel",
        "bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream"
        ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}
```

### Create a new IAM role

Choose *AWS account* as the trusted entity type. If you set an external ID be sure to copy it, we will need it later.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Add the above policy to the role

Search for the policy you created above and add it to the role.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Configure Trust Relationship for the role

Once the role is created, open the role and navigate to the *Trust relationships* tab and click *Edit trust policy*.
This is where you will add the Portkey AWS account as a trusted entity.

```sh Portkey Account ARN theme={"system"}
arn:aws:iam::299329113195:role/portkey-app
```

<Note>
  The above ARN only works for our [hosted app](https://app.portkey.ai/).<br />

  To enable **Assumed Role for AWS in your Portkey Enterprise deployment**, you can refer to [this guide](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/helm/blob/main/charts/portkey-gateway/docs/Bedrock.md). If you face any issue, please reach out to us at [support@portkey.ai](mailto:support@portkey.ai).
</Note>

Paste the following JSON into the trust policy editor and click *Update Trust Policy*.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::299329113195:role/portkey-app"
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
      "Condition": {}
}
]
}
```

If you set an external ID, add it to the condition as shown below.

```json theme={"system"}
  {
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
      {
        "Effect": "Allow",
        "Principal": {
          "AWS": "<Portkey Account ARN>"
        },
        "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
        "Condition": {
          "StringEquals": {
            "sts:ExternalId": "<your external ID>"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
}
```

## Configure the integration with the role ARN

Once the role is created, copy the role ARN and paste it into the Bedrock integrations modal in Portkey along with the external ID if you set one and the AWS region you are using.

You're all set! You can now use the new provider to invoke Bedrock models.

## Core Architecture Components

### Data Plane (Your VPC)

The Data Plane is deployed in your cloud environment and processes all your AI traffic:

| Component       | Description                                                                                                  | Security Benefit                                       |
| :-------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------- |
| **AI Gateway**  | Core engine that routes traffic across LLM providers and implements metering, access control, and guardrails | All LLM requests remain in your network perimeter      |
| **Cache Store** | Local cache storage for gateway consumption                                                                  | Eliminates runtime dependency on Control Plane         |
| **Data Store**  | Storage for LLM request/response logs                                                                        | Keep sensitive LLM data completely in your environment |

The AI Gateway runs as containerized workloads in your infrastructure, deployable via your preferred orchestration method (Kubernetes, ECS, etc.).

### Control Plane (Portkey VPC)

The Control Plane is fully managed by Portkey and provides the administrative layer for your deployment:

* Hosts the web dashboard for managing configurations, tracking analytics, and viewing logs
* Maintains routing configs, provider integrations
* Stores non-sensitive metadata and aggregated metrics
* Automatically updates with new features and provider integrations without requiring changes to your infrastructure

## Data Flow Between Planes

<Accordion icon="network-wired" title="AI Traffic Flow (Fully Contained in Your VPC)">
  All LLM traffic stays within your network boundary:

  1. Your application sends requests to the AI Gateway
  2. The Gateway processes the request (applying routing, caching, guardrails)
  3. The Gateway forwards the request to the appropriate LLM provider
  4. Responses from LLMs return through the same path

  **Security Benefit**: Complete isolation of sensitive prompt data and responses
</Accordion>

<Accordion icon="database" title="Data Sync (Gateway ↔ Control Plane)">
  The AI Gateway periodically synchronizes with the Control Plane:

  * **Frequency**: 30-second heartbeat intervals
  * **Data Retrieved**: Prompt templates, routing configs, integrations, providers, API keys
  * **Process**: Data is fetched, decrypted locally, and stored in the Gateway cache
  * **Resilience**: Gateway operates independently between syncs using cached configs

  **Security Benefit**: Continuous operation even during Control Plane disconnection
</Accordion>

<Accordion icon="chart-line" title="Analytics Flow (Gateway → Control Plane)">
  The Gateway sends anonymized metrics to the Analytics Store:

  * **Data Sent**: Non-sensitive operational metrics (model used, token counts, response times)
  * **Purpose**: Powers analytics dashboards for monitoring performance and costs
  * **Example**: [View sample analytics data](#sample-files)

  **Security Benefit**: Provides insights without exposing sensitive information
</Accordion>

<Accordion icon="files" title="Log Management Options">
  **Option A: Logs in Your VPC** (Recommended for high-security environments)

  * Logs stored in your environment's Blob Store
  * When viewing logs in Dashboard UI, Control Plane requests them from Gateway

  **Option B: Logs in Portkey Cloud**

  * Gateway encrypts and sends logs to Portkey Log Store
  * No connections required from Portkey to your environment for viewing logs

  **Security Benefit**: Flexibility to match your compliance requirements
</Accordion>

## Deployment Architecture

Portkey AI Gateway is deployed as containerized workloads using Helm charts for Kubernetes environments, with flexible deployment options for various cloud providers.

### Infrastructure Components

| Component        | Description                                               | Configuration Options                                        |
| :--------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **AI Gateway**   | Core container running the routing logic                  | Deployed as stateless containers that can scale horizontally |
| **Cache System** | Stores routing configs, integrations, providers, and more | Redis (in-cluster, AWS ElastiCache, or custom endpoint)      |
| **Log Storage**  | Persistence for request/response data                     | Multiple options (see below)                                 |

  1. **Real-time Model Updates**: LLM providers frequently change model parameters, pricing, and availability. Centralizing this data ensures all gateways operate with current information.

  2. **Feature Velocity**: AI landscape evolves rapidly. Control Plane architecture allows Portkey to deliver new features multiple times per week without requiring customer-side deployments.

  3. **Operational Efficiency**: Eliminates need for customers to maintain complex database infrastructure solely for non-sensitive object management.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Why Cache Objects Locally?">
  1. **Performance**: Eliminates network latency during LLM requests by having all routing and configs data available locally.

  2. **Resilience**: Gateway continues operating even if temporarily disconnected from Control Plane.

  3. **Security**: Reduces attack surface by minimizing runtime external dependencies.

## Prerequisites

Ensure that following tools and resources are installed and available:

* A running [Amazon EKS cluster](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/create-cluster-auto.html) with at least 2 worker nodes. ( **Best Practice:** Use 2 nodes, with 1 node in each Availability Zone, to ensure high availability.)
* [AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html)
* [Kubectl](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/install-kubectl.html)
* [Helm (v3 or above)](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/)
* [eksctl](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/install-kubectl.html)

## Create a Portkey Account

* Go to the [Portkey](https://portkey.ai) website.
* Sign up for a Portkey account.
* Once logged in, locate and save your `Organisation ID` for future reference. You can find it in the browser URL:
  `https://app.portkey.ai/organisation/<organisation_id>/`
* Contact the Portkey AI team and provide your Organisation ID and the email address used during signup.
* The Portkey team will share the following information with you:
  * Docker credentials for the Gateway images (username and password).
  * License: Client Auth Key.

## Setup Project Environment

```sh theme={"system"}
cluster_name=<EKS_CLUSTER_NAME>               # Specify the name of the EKS cluster where the gateway will be deployed.
namespace=<NAMESPACE>                         # Specify the namespace where the gateway should be deployed (for example, portkeyai).
service_account_name=<SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME>   # Provide a name for the Service Account to be associated with Gateway Pod (for example, gateway-sa)

mkdir portkey-gateway
cd portkey-gateway
touch values.yaml
```

### Image Credentials Configuration

```yaml theme={"system"}
# Update the values.yaml file
imageCredentials:
  - name: portkey-enterprise-registry-credentials
    create: true
    registry: https://index.docker.io/v1/
    username: <PROVIDED BY PORTKEY>
    password: <PROVIDED BY PORTKEY>

    ORGANISATIONS_TO_SYNC: <ORGANISATION_ID>           # This is obtained after signing up for a Portkey account.  
```

## Configure Components

Based on the choice of components and their configuration update the `values.yaml`.

### Cache Store

The Portkey Gateway deployment includes a Redis instance pre-installed by default. You can either use this built-in Redis or connect to an external cache like `Amazon ElastiCache for Redis OSS` or `Valkey`.

#### Built-in Redis

No additional permissions or network configurations are required.

```yaml theme={"system"}
## To use the built-in Redis, add the following configuration to the values.yaml file.
environment:
  data:
    CACHE_STORE: redis
    REDIS_URL: "redis://redis:6379"
    REDIS_TLS_ENABLED: "false"
```

#### Amazon ElastiCache

To enable the gateway to work with an ElastiCache cache, ensure that inbound rule is configured in ElastiCache's Security Group allowing access from EKS cluster on required port.

```yaml theme={"system"}
## To use Amazon ElastiCache for Redis OSS or Valkey, add the following configuration in the values.yaml file.
environment:
  data:
    CACHE_STORE: aws-elastic-cache
    REDIS_URL: "redis://<ElastiCache_Endpoint>:<Port>" 
    REDIS_TLS_ENABLED: "true"                             ## "true"/"false"
    REDIS_MODE: cluster                                   ## Add this parameter only if cluster mode is enabled on Amazon ElastiCache
```

**Note:** If cluster mode is enabled in ElastiCache then use **Configuration Endpoint** otherwise use **Primary Endpoint**.
For more information on ElastiCache endpoints, refer to the [AWS resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/dg/Endpoints.html).

### Log Store

#### Amazon S3

1. Create an Amazon S3 bucket for storing LLM access logs.

2. [Set up](#setting-up-iam-permission) access to the log store. The Gateway supports the following methods for connecting to S3 bucket for log storage:

   * IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA)
   * EKS Pod Identity

   Depending on the chosen S3 access method, update `values.yaml` with the following configuration.

   <Tabs>
     <Tab title="IRSA">
       ```yaml theme={"system"}
       ## To enable IRSA update values.yaml with the following details:-
       serviceAccount:
         create: true
         automount: true
         name: <SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME>             # Provide the name of service account. Must be same as the name you provided while creating IAM Role in last step.
         annotations:
           eks.amazonaws.com/role-arn: <ROLE_ARN> # Provide the IAM role ARN obtained in previous step.

       environment:
         data:
           LOG_STORE: s3_assume
           LOG_STORE_REGION: "<AWS_BUCKET_REGION>"                     # Specify the AWS region where the S3 log bucket resides (e.g., us-east-1).
           LOG_STORE_GENERATIONS_BUCKET: "<AWS_BUCKET_NAME>"           # Specify the name of S3 log bucket.
       ```
     </Tab>

     <Tab title="EKS Pod Identity">
       ```yaml theme={"system"}
       ## To enable EKS Pod Identity update values.yaml with following details:-
       serviceAccount:
         create: true
         automount: true
         name: <SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME>             # Provide the name of service account. Must be same as the name you provided while creating IAM Role in last step.

       environment:
         data:
           LOG_STORE: s3_assume
           LOG_STORE_REGION: "<AWS_BUCKET_REGION>"                     # Specify the AWS region where the S3 log bucket resides (e.g., us-east-1).
           LOG_STORE_GENERATIONS_BUCKET: "<AWS_BUCKET_NAME>"           # Specify the name of S3 log bucket.
       ```
     </Tab>
   </Tabs>

### Data Service (Optional)

The Data Service is a component of the Portkey deployment responsible for batch processing, fine-tuning, and log exports.

To enable Data Service, add the following configuration to the `values.yaml` file.

```yaml theme={"system"}
dataservice:
  name: "dataservice"
  enabled: true
  env:
    DEBUG_ENABLED: false
    SERVICE_NAME: "portkeyenterprise-dataservice"
  serviceAccount:
    create: false
    name: <SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME>                                  # Provide the name of service account. Must be same as the name you provided while creating IAM Role in last step.


```

## Network Configuration

### Set Up External Access

To make the Gateway service accessible externally, you can set up either of the following:

* **AWS Application Load Balancer** with Kubernetes `Ingress`
* **AWS Network Load Balancer** with Kubernetes `Service`

**Prerequisites**

* VPC and subnet [tagging requirements](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/network-reqs.html)
* Installed and running AWS Load Balancer Controller. For Load Balancer Controller installation details, refer to the AWS [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/lbc-helm.html).

#### AWS Application Load Balancer

To create Application Load Balancer Ingress update the `values.yaml` file with following configuration:

```yaml theme={"system"}
ingress:
  enabled: true
  # hostname: "gateway.example.com"
  ingressClassName: "alb"
  annotations: 
    alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/load-balancer-name : portkey-gateway
    alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/scheme: internet-facing                                                 # Set to 'internal' for internal ALB, set to 'internet-facing' for creating an ALB accessible from internet.
    alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/target-type: ip 
    # alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/listen-ports: '[{"HTTP": 80}, {"HTTPS": 443}]'
    alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/healthcheck-path: /v1/health
    alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/inbound-cidrs: 0.0.0.0/0                                                # Allowed inbound CIDR ranges
    alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/manage-backend-security-group-rules: "true"

service:
  type: ClusterIP
  port: 8787
```

Load Balancer Controller provides additional annotations (like TLS, custom health checks etc ) for managing ALB. For a comprehensive list of available annotations, refer to the [AWS Load Balancer Controller documentation](https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/aws-load-balancer-controller/latest/guide/ingress/annotations/).

#### AWS Network Load Balancer

To create Network Balancer update the `values.yaml` with following configuration:

```yaml theme={"system"}
service:
  type: LoadBalancer
  port: 8787                                              
  annotations: 
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-type: "nlb"                   
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-internal: "true"                                   # Set to 'true' to create an internal NLB, set to 'false' to create an internet-facing NLB.
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-nlb-target-type: "ip"     
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-healthcheck-path: "/v1/health"
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-healthcheck-protocol: "http" 
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-healthcheck-port: "8787"        
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-manage-backend-security-group-rules: "true"         
```

Load Balancer Controller provides additional annotations (like TLS, custom health checks etc ) for managing NLB. For a comprehensive list of available annotations, refer to the [AWS Load Balancer Controller documentation](https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/aws-load-balancer-controller/v2.7/guide/service/annotations/).

### Ensure Outbound Network Access

By default, Kubernetes allows full outbound access, but if your cluster has NetworkPolicies that restrict egress, configure them to allow outbound traffic.

Example NetworkPolicy for Outbound Access:

```yaml theme={"system"}
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: allow-all-egress
  namespace: portkeyai
spec:
  podSelector: {}
  policyTypes:
  - Egress
  egress:
  - to:
    - ipBlock:
        cidr: 0.0.0.0/0
```

This allows the gateway to access LLMs hosted both within your VPC and externally. This also enables connection for the sync service to the Portkey Control Plane.

## Deploying Portkey Gateway

```sh theme={"system"}
# Add the Portkey AI Gateway helm repository
helm repo add portkey-ai https://portkey-ai.github.io/helm
helm repo update

# Install the chart
helm upgrade --install portkey-ai portkey-ai/gateway -f ./values.yaml -n $namespace --create-namespace
```

## Verify the deployment

To confirm that the deployment was successful, follow these steps:

* Verify that all pods are running correctly.

```sh theme={"system"}
# 
kubectl get pods -n $namespace
# You should see all pods with a 'STATUS' of 'Running'.
```

**Note:** If pods are in a Pending, CrashLoopBackOff, or other error state, inspect the [pod logs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/generated/kubectl_logs/) and [events](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/generated/kubectl_events/) to diagnose potential issues.

* Test Gateway by sending a cURL request.

  1. Port-forward the Gateway pod

  ```sh theme={"system"}
    kubectl port-forward  <POD_NAME> -n $namespace 9000:8787       # Replace <POD_NAME> with your Gateway pod's actual name.
  ```

  2. Once port forwarding is active, open a new terminal window or tab and send a test request by running:

  ```sh theme={"system"}
  # Specify LLM provider and Portkey API keys
  OPENAI_API_KEY=<OPENAI_API_KEY>                           # Replace <OPENAI_API_KEY> with an actual API key
  PORTKEY_API_KEY=<PORTKEY_API_KEY>                         # Replace <PORTKEY_API_KEY> with Portkey API key which can be created from Portkey website(https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys).

  # Configure and send the curl request
  curl 'http://localhost:9000/v1/chat/completions'`\
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY"  \
  -H "x-portkey-provider: openai" \
  -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY"  \
  -d '{ 
      "model": "gpt-4o-mini", 
      "messages": [{"role": "user","content": "What is a fractal?"}]  
  }'
  ```

  3. Test gateway service integration with Load Balancer.

  ```sh theme={"system"}
  # Replace <LOAD_BALANCER_DNS> and <LB_LISTENER_PORT_NUMBER> with the DNS name and listener port of the created load balancer, respectively.
  curl 'http://<LOAD_BALANCER_DNS>:8787/v1/chat/completions' \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY"  \
  -H "x-portkey-provider: openai" \
  -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY"  \
  -d '{
      "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
      "messages": [{"role": "user","content": "What is a fractal?"}]
  }'
  ```

## Integrating Gateway with Control Plane

Portkey supports the following methods for integrating the Control Plane with the Data Plane/Gateway:

* AWS PrivateLink
* IP Whitelisting

#### AWS PrivateLink

Establishes a secure, private connection between the Control Plane and Data Plane within the AWS network, eliminating exposure to the public internet.

**Steps to establish AWS PrivateLink connectivity** -

To use AWS PrivateLink, you must create an AWS Network Load Balancer (NLB)—either internal or internet-facing—to expose the Gateway outside the EKS cluster.
For detailed instructions on creating and integrating an NLB, please refer to the [Networking Configuration](#network-configuration)

**Create Endpoint Service**

* Navigate to the [AWS VPC Console](https://ap-southeast-1.console.aws.amazon.com/vpcconsole/home#CreateVpcEndpointServiceConfiguration).
* In the top-right corner of the AWS Console, select the region where the Portkey Gateway is deployed.
* Provide the following details -
  * Name of endpoint service
  * Select Network Load Balancer to associate with Endpoint.
  * Choose region in which endpoint service will be available.
  * Select whether acceptance is required or not for requested connections.
  * Choose whether to enable private DNS name - If enabled provide the Private DNS Name.
  * Select **IPv4** under Supported IP address types.
* Click **Create**.

**(Optional) Verify ownership of Private DNS name**

This step needs to be performed if you are using Private DNS Name.

Open created Endpoint Service > click on **Actions** > select Verify domain ownership for private DNS name > Create the recommended record in your DNS server > Click Verify.

**Authorize Portkey's Control Plane to initiate connection requests**

* Open to Endpoint Service > click on **Actions** > select **Allow principals**, and enter the Control Plane's ARN(`arn:aws:iam::299329113195:root`).
  Reach out to portkey team and share the following details -
  * **Service name**
  * **DNS names**
  * **Private DNS name**
  * **Region** selected while creating Endpoint Service.
  * Port number on which Load Balancer is listening for connections.
* Wait for the Portkey team to initiate a connection request from the control plane's AWS account to your Gateway AWS account. Navigate to the **Endpoint connections** section and once the request appears, approve it.

#### IP Whitelisting

Allows control plane to access the Data Plane over the internet by restricting inbound traffic to specific IP address of Control Plane. This method requires the Data Plane to have a publicly accessible endpoint.
To whitelist, add an inbound rule to the Load Balancer's security group allowing connections from the Portkey Control Plane's IP (`44.221.117.129`) on NLB listner port.

To integrate the Control Plane with the Data Plane, contact the Portkey team and provide the **Public Endpoint** of the Data Plane.

## Verifying Gateway Integration with the Control Plane

* Send a test request to Gateway using `curl`.
* Go to [Portkey website](https://app.portkey.ai/) -> **Logs**.
* Verify that the test request appears in the logs and that you can view its full details by selecting the log entry.

## Uninstalling Portkey Gateway

```sh theme={"system"}
helm uninstall portkey-ai --namespace $namespace
```

## Setting up IAM Permission

To enable the Portkey Gateway to access Amazon S3 for log storage and, optionally, Amazon Bedrock for model invocation, specific permissions are required.

Follow the steps below to configure permissions based on your chosen access method.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="IRSA">
    1. Create an IAM trust policy to provide Gateway access to IAM Role.

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    bucket_name=<S3_BUCKET_NAME>                  # Specify the name of S3 bucket which will store logs. Bucket must already be created.
    role_name=<IAM_ROLE_NAME>                     # Provide a name for the role to be associated with Service Account.

    # Retrieve AWS Account ID
    aws_account_id=$(aws sts get-caller-identity --query Account --output text)
        
    # Retrieve EKS cluster’s OIDC issuer.
    oidc_issuer=$(aws eks describe-cluster --name $cluster_name --query "cluster.identity.oidc.issuer" --output text | sed -e "s~https://~~")

    # Check if an IAM OIDC provider is already created for EKS cluster in your account.
    aws iam list-open-id-connect-providers | grep $oidc_issuer

    # (Optional) If no output is returned, then create an IAM OIDC provider for your EKS cluster.
    eksctl utils associate-iam-oidc-provider --cluster $cluster_name --approve

    # Define a trust policy for IAM role
    cat >trust-relationship.json <<EOF
    {
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
      {
        "Effect": "Allow",
        "Principal": {
          "Federated": "arn:aws:iam::${aws_account_id}:oidc-provider/${oidc_issuer}"
        },
        "Action": "sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity",
        "Condition": {
          "StringEquals": {
            "${oidc_issuer}:aud": "sts.amazonaws.com",
            "${oidc_issuer}:sub": "system:serviceaccount:${namespace}:${service_account_name}"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
    }
    EOF
    ```

    2. Create an IAM Role to associate with Gateway's service account.

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    # Create IAM role to associate with Gateway service account.                 
    aws iam create-role --role-name $role_name --assume-role-policy-document file://trust-relationship.json 

    # Fetch ARN of IAM role
    role_arn=$(aws iam get-role --role-name $role_name --query "Role.Arn" --output text)
    echo "$role_arn"
    ```

    **Note:** Record the IAM role ARN for future reference, as it will be required when configuring the Gateway’s service account in `values.yaml`.

    3. Attach an IAM policy to the role to grant access to the S3 log store and, optionally, Amazon Bedrock.

    **Amazon S3**

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    cat >s3-access-policy.json <<EOF
    {
      "Version": "2012-10-17",
      "Statement": [
        {
          "Effect": "Allow",
          "Action": ["s3:PutObject", "s3:GetObject"],
          "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::${bucket_name}/*"]
        }
      ]
    }
    EOF

    # Attach policy to the IAM role
    aws iam put-role-policy --role-name $role_name --policy-name s3-access-policy --policy-document file://s3-access-policy.json
    ```

    **(Optional) Amazon Bedrock**

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    cat >bedrock-access-policy.json <<EOF
    {
      "Version": "2012-10-17",
      "Statement": [
        {
          "Effect": "Allow",
          "Action": ["bedrock:InvokeModel", "bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream"],
          "Resource": ["*"]
        }
      ]
    }
    EOF

    # Attach policy to the IAM role
    aws iam put-role-policy --role-name $role_name --policy-name bedrock-access-policy --policy-document file://bedrock-access-policy.json

    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="EKS Pod Identity">
    1. (Optional) If the EKS Pod Identity Agent is not already installed on your cluster, install it before proceeding. For detailed, step-by-step instructions, refer to the following AWS [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/pod-id-agent-setup.html).
    2. Create an IAM trust policy to provide Gateway access to IAM Role.

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    bucket_name=<S3_BUCKET_NAME>           # Specify the name of S3 bucket which will store logs. Bucket must already be created.
    role_name=<IAM_ROLE_NAME>              # Provide a name for the role to be associated with Service Account.
    cat >trust-relationship.json <<EOF
    {
        "Version": "2012-10-17",		 	 	 
        "Statement": [
            {
                "Sid": "AllowEksAuthToAssumeRoleForPodIdentity",
                "Effect": "Allow",
                "Principal": {
                    "Service": "pods.eks.amazonaws.com"
                },
                "Action": [
                    "sts:AssumeRole",
                    "sts:TagSession"
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
    EOF
    ```

    3. Create an IAM Role to associate with Gateway's service account.

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    aws iam create-role --role-name $role_name --assume-role-policy-document file://trust-relationship.json 
    ```

    4. Create a Pod Identity association that allows the Gateway’s service account to assume the specified IAM role using EKS Pod Identity.

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    # Retrieve AWS Account ID
    aws_account_id=$(aws sts get-caller-identity --query Account --output text)

    # Create Pod Identity Association
    aws eks create-pod-identity-association --cluster-name $cluster_name --role-arn "arn:aws:iam::${aws_account_id}:role/${role_name}" --namespace $namespace --service-account $service_account_name
    ```

    5. Attach an IAM policy to the role to grant access to the S3 log store and, optionally, Amazon Bedrock.

    **Amazon S3**

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    cat >s3-access-policy.json <<EOF
    {
      "Version": "2012-10-17",
      "Statement": [
        {
          "Effect": "Allow",
          "Action": ["s3:PutObject", "s3:GetObject"],
          "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::${bucket_name}/*"]
        }
      ]
    }
    EOF

    # Attach policy to the IAM role
    aws iam put-role-policy --role-name $role_name --policy-name s3-access-policy --policy-document file://s3-access-policy.json
    ```

    **(Optional) Amazon Bedrock**

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    cat >bedrock-access-policy.json <<EOF
    {
      "Version": "2012-10-17",
      "Statement": [
        {
          "Effect": "Allow",
          "Action": ["bedrock:InvokeModel", "bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream"],
          "Resource": ["*"]
        }
      ]
    }
    EOF

    # Attach policy to the IAM role
    aws iam put-role-policy --role-name $role_name --policy-name bedrock-access-policy --policy-document file://bedrock-access-policy.json

    ```
  </Tab>

## Cloud Formation Steps

* Creates a new EKS cluster and NodeGroup in your selected VPC and Subnets
* Sets up IAM Roles needed for S3 bucket access using STS and Lambda execution
* Uses AWS Lambda to:
  * Install the Portkey AI Helm chart to your EKS cluster
  * Upload the values.yaml file to the S3 bucket
* Allows for changes to the values file or helm chart deployment by updating and re-running the same Lambda function in your AWS account

### Lambda Function

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

#### Steps

1. **Sets up required binaries** - Downloads and configures AWS CLI, kubectl, and Helm binaries in the Lambda environment to enable interaction with AWS services and Kubernetes.
2. **Configures AWS credentials** - Creates temporary AWS credential files in the Lambda environment to authenticate with AWS services.
3. **Connects to EKS cluster** - Updates the kubeconfig file to establish a connection with the specified Amazon EKS cluster.
4. **Manages Helm chart deployment** - Adds the Portkey AI Helm repository and deploys/upgrades the Portkey AI Gateway using Helm charts.
5. **Handles configuration values** - Creates a values.yaml file with environment-specific configurations and stores it in an S3 bucket for future reference or updates.
6. **Provides idempotent deployment** - Checks for existing configurations in S3 and uses them if available, allowing the function to be run multiple times for updates without losing custom configurations.

| Cache (Prompts, Configs & Providers) | Built-in Redis or Azure Cache for Redis       | Deployed within the same VNet as the Portkey Gateway.                                                                                                  |

## Prerequisites

Ensure the following tools and resources are installed and available:

* A running [AKS cluster](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/tutorial-kubernetes-deploy-cluster?tabs=azure-cli#create-a-kubernetes-cluster) with at least 2 worker nodes. (**Best Practice:** Use 2 nodes, with one node in each Availability Zone, to ensure high availability.)
* [Azure CLI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/get-started-with-azure-cli?view=azure-cli-latest)
* [Kubectl](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/tutorial-kubernetes-deploy-cluster?tabs=azure-cli#connect-to-cluster-using-kubectl)
* [Helm (v3 or above)](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/)

## Create a Portkey Account

* Go to the [Portkey](https://portkey.ai) website.
* Sign up for a Portkey account.
* Once logged in, locate and save your `Organisation ID` for future reference. It can be found in the browser URL:
  `https://app.portkey.ai/organisation/<organisation_id>/`
* Contact the Portkey AI team and provide your Organisation ID and the email address used during signup..
* The Portkey team will share the following information with you:
  * Docker credentials for the Gateway images (username and password).
  * License: Client Auth Key.

## Setup Project Environment

```sh theme={"system"}
cluster_name=<AKS_CLUSTER_NAME>               # Specify the name of the AKS cluster where the gateway will be deployed.
namespace=<NAMESPACE>                         # Specify the namespace where the gateway should be deployed (for example, portkeyai).
service_account_name=<SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME>   # Provide a name for the Service Account to be associated with Gateway Pod (for example, gateway-sa)

mkdir portkey-gateway
cd portkey-gateway
touch values.yaml
```

### Image Credentials Configuration

```yaml theme={"system"}
# Update the values.yaml file
imageCredentials:
  - name: portkey-enterprise-registry-credentials
    create: true
    registry: https://index.docker.io/v1/
    username: <PROVIDED BY PORTKEY>
    password: <PROVIDED BY PORTKEY>

  gatewayImage:
    repository: "docker.io/portkeyai/gateway_enterprise"
    pullPolicy: Always
    tag: "latest"
  dataserviceImage:
    repository: "docker.io/portkeyai/data-service"
    pullPolicy: Always
    tag: "latest"
  redisImage:
    repository: "docker.io/redis"
    pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
    tag: "7.2-alpine"
environment:
  create: true
  secret: true
  data:
    ANALYTICS_STORE: control_plane
    SERVICE_NAME: <SERVICE_NAME>                      # Specify a name for the service
    PORTKEY_CLIENT_AUTH: <PROVIDED BY PORTKEY>
    ORGANISATIONS_TO_SYNC: <ORGANISATION_ID>           # This is obtained after signing up for a Portkey account.
    
```

## Configure Components

Based on the choice of components and their configuration update the `values.yaml`.

### Cache Store

The Portkey Gateway deployment includes a Redis instance pre-installed by default. You can either use this built-in Redis or connect to an external cache like `Azure Cache for Redis` or `Azure Managed Redis`.

#### Built-in Redis

No additional permissions or network configurations are required.

```yaml theme={"system"}
## To use the built-in Redis, add the following configuration to the values.yaml file.
environment:
  data:
    CACHE_STORE: redis
    REDIS_URL: "redis://redis:6379"
    REDIS_TLS_ENABLED: "false"
```

### Log Store

#### Azure Blob Storage

1. (Optional) If not already done, create an Azure Storage Account and a Blob Container to store LLM logs.

2. [Set up](#setting-up-permission) access to the log store. The Gateway supports the following methods for connecting to the Blob Storage:

   * Managed Identity
   * Entra ID

   Depending on the chosen Blob Storage access method, update `values.yaml` with the following configuration.

   <Tabs>
     <Tab title="Managed Identity">
       ```yaml theme={"system"}
       ## To enable Managed Identity update values.yaml with following details:-

       environment:
         data:
           LOG_STORE: azure
           AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT: <STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME>       # Specify the name of the storage account which will be used for storing LLM logs.
           AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER: <STORAGE_CONTAINER>        # Specify the name of the blob store container which will be used for storing LLM logs.
           AZURE_AUTH_MODE: managed
       ```
     </Tab>

     <Tab title="Entra ID">
       ```yaml theme={"system"}
       ## To enable Entra ID update values.yaml with following details:-

       environment:
         data:
           LOG_STORE: azure
           AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT: <STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME>       # Specify the name of the storage account which will be used for storing LLM logs.
           AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER: <STORAGE_CONTAINER>        # Specify the name of the blob store container which will be used for storing LLM logs.
           AZURE_AUTH_MODE: entra
           AZURE_ENTRA_CLIENT_ID: <ENTRA_CLIENT_ID>            # Specify client id of the app created during set up of Entra ID access for blob store.
           AZURE_ENTRA_CLIENT_SECRET: <ENTRA_CLIENT_SECRET>    # Specify client secret of the app created during set up of Entra ID access for blob store.
           AZURE_ENTRA_TENANT_ID: <ENTRA_TENANT_ID>            # Specify tenant id obtained during set up of Entra ID access for blob store.
       ```
     </Tab>
   </Tabs>

## Network Configuration

**Set up external access to the Gateway**

To ensure the Gateway service is accessible externally, create either an internal or internet-facing Load Balancer.

```yaml theme={"system"}
service:
  type: LoadBalancer
  port: 8787
  annotations: 
    # Specify the type of Load Balancer to create - internal or internet-facing 
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-internal: "false"                      
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-health-probe-protocol: "http"
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-health-probe-request-path: "/v1/health"

    # Replace the cidr ranges to make it more restrictive
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-allowed-ip-ranges: 0.0.0.0/0                                                       
```

**Note:** If you choose an internal load balancer, it must be exposed via a public-facing service (e.g., Application Gateway, Azure Front Door) to allow the Control Plane to communicate with the Data Plane.

Additionally, Azure Load Balancer supports various annotations to fine-tune its configuration. For a complete list of supported annotations, see the Azure Load Balancer [annotations](https://cloud-provider-azure.sigs.k8s.io/topics/loadbalancer/#loadbalancer-annotations).

### Ensure Outbound Network Access

By default, Kubernetes allows full outbound access, but if your cluster has NetworkPolicies that restrict egress, configure them to allow outbound traffic.

Example NetworkPolicy for Outbound Access:

```yaml theme={"system"}
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: allow-all-egress
  namespace: portkeyai
spec:
  podSelector: {}
  policyTypes:
  - Egress
  egress:
  - to:
    - ipBlock:
        cidr: 0.0.0.0/0
```

This allows the Gateway to access LLMs hosted within your VNet and outside as well. This also enables connection for the sync service to the Portkey Control Plane.

## Deploying Portkey Gateway

```sh theme={"system"}
# Add the Portkey AI Gateway helm repository
helm repo add portkey-ai https://portkey-ai.github.io/helm
helm repo update

# Install the chart
helm upgrade --install portkey-ai portkey-ai/gateway -f ./values.yaml -n $namespace --create-namespace
```

## Verify the deployment

To confirm that the deployment was successful, follow these steps:

* Verify that all pods are running correctly.

```sh theme={"system"}
# 
kubectl get pods -n $namespace
# You should see all pods with a 'STATUS' of 'Running'.
```

**Note:** If pods are in a Pending, CrashLoopBackOff, or other error state, inspect the [pod logs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/generated/kubectl_logs/) and [events](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/generated/kubectl_events/) to diagnose potential issues.

* Test Gateway by sending a cURL request.

  1. Port-forward the Gateway pod

  ```sh theme={"system"}
    kubectl port-forward  <POD_NAME> -n $namespace 9000:8787       # Replace <POD_NAME> with your Gateway pod's actual name.
  ```

  2. Once port forwarding is active, open a new terminal window or tab and send a test request by running:

  ```sh theme={"system"}
  # Specify LLM provider and Portkey API keys
  OPENAI_API_KEY=<OPENAI_API_KEY>                           # Replace <OPENAI_API_KEY> with an actual API key
  PORTKEY_API_KEY=<PORTKEY_API_KEY>                         # Replace <PORTKEY_API_KEY> with Portkey API key which can be created from Portkey website(https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys).

  # Configure and send the curl request
  curl 'http://localhost:9000/v1/chat/completions'`\
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY"  \
  -H "x-portkey-provider: openai" \
  -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY"  \
  -d '{ 
      "model": "gpt-4o-mini", 
      "messages": [{"role": "user","content": "What is a fractal?"}]  
  }'
  ```

  3. Test gateway service integration with Load Balancer.

  ```sh theme={"system"}
  # Replace <LOAD_BALANCER_IP> and <LB_LISTENER_PORT_NUMBER> with the DNS name and listener port of the created load balancer, respectively.
  curl 'http://<LOAD_BALANCER_IP>:<LB_LISTENER_PORT_NUMBER>/v1/chat/completions' \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY"  \
  -H "x-portkey-provider: openai" \
  -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY"  \
  -d '{
      "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
      "messages": [{"role": "user","content": "What is a fractal?"}]
  }'
  ```

## Integrating Gateway with Control Plane

Portkey supports the following methods for integrating the Control Plane with the Data Plane/Gateway:

#### IP Whitelisting

Allows control plane to access the Data Plane over the internet by restricting inbound traffic to specific IP address of Control Plane. This method requires the Data Plane to have a publicly accessible endpoint.
To whitelist, add an inbound rule to the Azure NSG/Firewall allowing connections from the Portkey Control Plane's IP (`44.221.117.129`) on required port.

To integrate the Control Plane with the Data Plane, contact the Portkey team and provide the **Public Endpoint** of the Data Plane.

## Verifying Gateway Integration with the Control Plane

* Send a test request to Gateway using `curl`.
* Go to [Portkey website](https://app.portkey.ai/) -> **Logs**.
* Verify that the test request appears in the logs and that you can view its full details by selecting the log entry.

## Uninstalling Portkey Gateway

```sh theme={"system"}
helm uninstall portkey-ai --namespace $namespace
```

## Setting up Permission

#### Azure Blob Storage

To allow the Portkey Gateway to access Azure Blob Storage for log storage, permissions must be granted.

Follow the steps below to set up these permissions according to your selected access method.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Managed Identity">
    1. Specify the details:

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    CLUSTER_NAME=<CLUSTER_NAME>                             # Specify name of AKS cluster
    RESOURCE_GROUP=<RESOURCE_GROUP>                         # Specify the name of the resource group that contains the storage account.
    STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=<STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME>             # Specify the name of the storage account which will be used for storing LLM logs.
    CONTAINER_NAME=<CONTAINER_NAME>                         # Specify the name of the blob store container which will be used for storing LLM logs.

    ```

    2. Fetch Identity associated with the AKS cluster.

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    KUBELET_OBJECT_ID=$(az aks show \
     --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP \
     --name $CLUSTER_NAME \
     --query "identityProfile.kubeletidentity.objectId" \
     --output tsv)
    ```

    3. Grant identity a role that allows it to access Blob Storage.

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    # Fetch storage id of storage account
    STORAGE_ID=$(az storage account show \
     --name $STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME \
     --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP --query id -o tsv)

    # Grant Storage Blob Data Contributor to kubelet identity
    az role assignment create \
     --assignee-object-id $KUBELET_OBJECT_ID \
     --assignee-principal-type ServicePrincipal \
     --role "Storage Blob Data Contributor" \
     --scope "$STORAGE_ID/blobServices/default/containers/$CONTAINER_NAME"

    ```

# GCP
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/self-hosting/hybrid-deployments/gcp

This enterprise-focused document provides comprehensive instructions for deploying the Portkey software on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), tailored to meet the needs of large-scale, mission-critical applications.

It includes specific recommendations for component sizing, high availability, disaster recovery, and integration with monitoring systems.

## Components and Sizing Recommendations

### Component: AI Gateway

* **Deployment:** Deploy as a Docker container in your Kubernetes cluster using Helm Charts.
* **Instance Type:** GCP n1-standard-2 instance, with at least 4GiB of memory and two vCPUs.
* **High Availability:** Deploy across multiple zones for high reliability.

### Component: Logs Store (optional)

* **Options:** Hosted MongoDB, Google Cloud Storage (GCS), or Google Firestore.
* **Sizing:** Each log document is \~10kb in size (uncompressed).

### Component: Cache (Prompts, Configs & Providers)

* **Options:** Google Memorystore for Redis or self-hosted Redis.
* **Deployment:** Deploy in the same VPC as the Portkey Gateway.

## Deployment Steps

### Prerequisites

Ensure the following tools are installed:

* Docker
* Kubectl
* Helm (v3 or above)

### Step 1: Clone the Portkey Repo Containing Helm Chart

```sh theme={"system"}
git clone https://github.com/Portkey-AI/helm-chart
```

### Step 2: Update values.yaml for Helm

Modify the `values.yaml` file in the Helm chart directory to include the Docker registry credentials and necessary environment variables. You can find the sample file at `./helm-chart/helm/enterprise/values.yaml`.

**Image Credentials Configuration**

```yaml theme={"system"}
imageCredentials:
  name: portkey-enterprise-registry-credentials
  create: true
  registry: kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson
  username:
  password:
```

*The Portkey team will share the credentials for your image.*

**Environment Variables Configuration**

These can be stored & fetched from a vault as well

```yaml theme={"system"}
environment:
  ...
  data:
    SERVICE_NAME:
    LOG_STORE:
    MONGO_DB_CONNECTION_URL:
    MONGO_DATABASE:
    MONGO_COLLECTION_NAME:
    LOG_STORE_REGION:
    LOG_STORE_ACCESS_KEY:
    LOG_STORE_SECRET_KEY:
    LOG_STORE_GENERATIONS_BUCKET:
    ANALYTICS_STORE:
    ANALYTICS_STORE_ENDPOINT:
    ANALYTICS_STORE_USER:
    ANALYTICS_STORE_PASSWORD:
    ANALYTICS_LOG_TABLE:
    ANALYTICS_FEEDBACK_TABLE:
    CACHE_STORE:
    REDIS_URL:
    REDIS_TLS_ENABLED:
    PORTKEY_CLIENT_AUTH:
    ORGANISATIONS_TO_SYNC:
```

**Notes on the Log Store**

`LOG_STORE` can be:

* Google Cloud Storage (`gcs`)
* Hosted MongoDB (`mongo`)

If the `LOG_STORE` is `mongo`, the following environment variables are needed:

```yaml theme={"system"}
MONGO_DB_CONNECTION_URL:
MONGO_DATABASE:
MONGO_COLLECTION_NAME:
```

If the `LOG_STORE` is `gcs`, the following values are mandatory:

```yaml theme={"system"}
LOG_STORE_REGION:
LOG_STORE_ACCESS_KEY:
LOG_STORE_SECRET_KEY:
LOG_STORE_GENERATIONS_BUCKET:
```

*You need to generate the Access Key and Secret Key from the respective providers.*

**Notes on Cache**

If `CACHE_STORE` is set as `redis`, a Redis instance will also get deployed in the cluster. If you are using custom Redis, then leave it blank. The following values are mandatory:

```yaml theme={"system"}
REDIS_URL:
REDIS_TLS_ENABLED:
```

`REDIS_URL` defaults to `redis://redis:6379` and `REDIS_TLS_ENABLED` defaults to `false`.

**Notes on Analytics Store**

This is hosted in Portkey’s control plane and these credentials will be shared by the Portkey team.

The following are mandatory and are shared by the Portkey Team.

```yaml theme={"system"}
PORTKEY_CLIENT_AUTH:
ORGANISATIONS_TO_SYNC:
```

### Step 3: Deploy Using Helm Charts

Navigate to the directory containing your Helm chart and run the following command to deploy the application:

```sh theme={"system"}
helm install portkey-gateway ./helm/enterprise --namespace portkeyai --create-namespace
```

*This command installs the Helm chart into the* `_portkeyai_` *namespace.*

### Step 4: Verify the Deployment

Check the status of your deployment to ensure everything is running correctly:

```sh theme={"system"}
kubectl get pods -n portkeyai
```

### Step 5: Port Forwarding (Optional)

To access the service over the internet, use port forwarding:

```sh theme={"system"}
kubectl port-forward  -n portkeyai 443:8787
```

*Replace* `_<pod-name>_` *with the name of your pod.*

### Uninstalling the Deployment

If you need to remove the deployment, run:

```sh theme={"system"}
helm uninstall portkey-app --namespace portkeyai
```

*This command will uninstall the Helm release and clean up the resources.*

## Network Configuration

### Step 1: Allow Access to the Service

To make the service accessible from outside the cluster, define a Service of type `LoadBalancer` in your `values.yaml` or Helm templates. Specify the desired port for external access.

```yaml theme={"system"}
service:
  type: LoadBalancer
  port:
  targetPort: 8787
```

*Replace* `_<desiredport>_` *with the port number for external access with the port the application listens on internally.*

### Step 2: Ensure Outbound Network Access

By default, Kubernetes allows full outbound access, but if your cluster has NetworkPolicies that restrict egress, configure them to allow outbound traffic.

**Example NetworkPolicy for Outbound Access:**

```yaml theme={"system"}
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: allow-all-egress
  namespace: portkeyai
spec:
  podSelector: {}
  policyTypes:
  - Egress
  egress:
  - to:
    - ipBlock:
        cidr: 0.0.0.0/0
```

*This allows the gateway to access LLMs hosted within your VPC and outside as well. This also enables connection for the sync service to the Portkey Control Plane.*

### Step 3: Configure Inbound Access for Portkey Control Plane

Ensure the Portkey control plane can access the service either over the internet or through VPC peering.

**Over the Internet:**

* Ensure the LoadBalancer security group allows inbound traffic on the specified port.
* Document the public IP/hostname and port for the control plane connection.

**Through VPC Peering:**

* Set up VPC peering between your GCP account and the control plane's GCP account. Requires manual setup by Portkey Team.

This guide provides the necessary steps and configurations to deploy Portkey on GCP effectively, ensuring high availability, scalability, and integration with your existing infrastructure.

Comprehensive monitoring and observability for Portkey Enterprise Gateway through Prometheus metrics

## Overview

The Portkey Enterprise Gateway exposes detailed telemetry data through Prometheus metrics, enabling comprehensive observability for LLM gateway operations. These metrics cover the entire request lifecycle from authentication through response delivery, including cost tracking, performance monitoring, and cache analytics.

This monitoring capability is essential for:

* **Performance Optimization**: Identify bottlenecks and optimize gateway performance
* **Cost Management**: Track and analyze LLM usage costs in real-time
* **Capacity Planning**: Understanding traffic patterns and scaling requirements
* **SLA Monitoring**: Ensure service level agreements are met
* **Security Monitoring**: Track authentication and authorization performance

## Metrics Endpoint

**Endpoint**: `/metrics`\
**Method**: GET\
**Content-Type**: `text/plain; version=0.0.4; charset=utf-8`\
**Authentication**: Typically open (check your deployment configuration)

<Tip>
  Ensure your Prometheus server can access the `/metrics` endpoint. In production deployments, consider securing this endpoint or restricting access to monitoring infrastructure only.
</Tip>

## Global Configuration

### Default Labels

All custom metrics are automatically labeled with:

* `app`: Service identifier (from `SERVICE_NAME` environment variable)
* `env`: Deployment environment (from `NODE_ENV` environment variable)

These labels enable multi-environment and multi-service monitoring in shared Prometheus deployments.

## Standard Node.js Runtime Metrics

The gateway automatically exposes Node.js runtime metrics with the `node_` prefix using the `prom-client` default collectors:

### Process Metrics

* **CPU Usage**: `node_process_cpu_user_seconds_total`, `node_process_cpu_system_seconds_total`
* **Memory**: `node_process_resident_memory_bytes`, `node_process_heap_bytes`
* **File Descriptors**: `node_process_open_fds`, `node_process_max_fds`
* **Process Uptime**: `node_process_start_time_seconds`

### Event Loop Metrics

* **Event Loop Lag**: `node_eventloop_lag_seconds` (critical for detecting Node.js performance issues)
* **Event Loop Utilization**: Tracks how busy the event loop is

### Garbage Collection Metrics

* **GC Duration**: `node_gc_duration_seconds` with custom buckets optimized for LLM gateway workloads
* **Custom GC Buckets**: `[0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 240, 500, 1000, 6000]` (seconds)

These buckets are specifically tuned for applications handling variable-length LLM processing workloads.

## Custom Application Metrics

The Portkey Enterprise Gateway exposes 15 custom metrics designed to provide deep visibility into LLM gateway operations, performance characteristics, and business metrics.

* `code`: HTTP response status code (200, 400, 500, etc.)
* `provider`: LLM provider identifier (openai, anthropic, azure-openai, etc.)
* `model`: Specific model name (gpt-4, claude-3, etc.)
* `source`: Request origination source or client identifier
* `stream`: Boolean indicator for streaming responses ("true"/"false")
* `cacheStatus`: Cache interaction result ("hit", "miss", "disabled", "error")
* `metadata_*`: Dynamic labels from request metadata (see configuration section)

### 1. Gateway Request Counter

## Configuration

### Dynamic Metadata Label System

The Portkey Enterprise Gateway supports dynamic metadata labeling through request-specific metadata injection. This powerful feature enables fine-grained observability across custom dimensions specific to your organization's structure and use cases.

**Environment Variable**: `PROMETHEUS_LABELS_METADATA_ALLOWED_KEYS`

**Configuration Format**: Comma-separated list of metadata keys

```bash theme={"system"}
PROMETHEUS_LABELS_METADATA_ALLOWED_KEYS=user_id,organization_id,workspace_id,application_name,cost_center,environment_type
```

**Technical Implementation**:

* Metadata is passed via the `x-portkey-metadata` HTTP header as a JSON string
* The JSON string is parsed and keys are validated against the allowlist for security
* Invalid or missing metadata values are handled gracefully (empty object returned)
* Labels are automatically prefixed with `metadata_` to avoid naming conflicts

<Warning>
  **Security Considerations**:

  * **Cardinality Control**: Limit allowed keys to prevent metric explosion
  * **Sensitive Data Protection**: Avoid including PII or sensitive information in labels
  * **Performance Impact**: Each additional label increases metric storage requirements
</Warning>

**Example Metadata Usage**:

Pass metadata via HTTP header:

```http theme={"system"}
POST /v1/chat/completions
Content-Type: application/json
x-portkey-metadata: {"user_id":"user_12345","organization_id":"org_acme","workspace_id":"workspace_engineering","application_name":"customer_support_bot","cost_center":"engineering_ops"}

{
  "model": "gpt-4",
  "messages": [...]
}
```

Resulting in Prometheus labels:

```
metadata_user_id="user_12345"
metadata_organization_id="org_acme"
metadata_workspace_id="workspace_engineering"
metadata_application_name="customer_support_bot"
metadata_cost_center="engineering_ops"
```

## Comprehensive Monitoring Examples

### Traffic Analysis & Capacity Planning

**Request Volume Monitoring**:

```promql theme={"system"}
# Requests per second by provider
rate(request_count[5m]) by (provider)

# Peak request volume (requests per hour)
increase(request_count[1h]) by (provider, model)

# Request volume growth trend (week-over-week)
(
  rate(request_count[7d]) -
  rate(request_count[7d] offset 7d)
) / rate(request_count[7d] offset 7d) * 100
```

**Traffic Distribution Analysis**:

```promql theme={"system"}
# Top 10 models by request volume
topk(10, rate(request_count[1h]) by (model, provider))

# Request distribution by endpoint
(
  rate(request_count[5m]) by (endpoint) /
  ignoring(endpoint) group_left sum(rate(request_count[5m]))
) * 100
```

# Cache system overhead
histogram_quantile(0.95, rate(llm_cache_processing_duration_milliseconds_bucket[5m])) by (cacheStatus)
```

**Cache Cost-Benefit Analysis**:

```promql theme={"system"}
# Cost savings from cache hits

## Alerting Rules Examples

### Critical Performance Alerts

```promql theme={"system"}
# High error rate alert (>5% for 5 minutes)
sum(rate(request_count{code=~"5.."}[5m])) / sum(rate(request_count[5m])) > 0.05

# High latency alert (P95 > 10 seconds)
histogram_quantile(0.95, rate(http_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m])) > 10

# Authentication performance degradation
histogram_quantile(0.95, rate(authentication_duration_milliseconds_bucket[5m])) > 1000
```

### Cost Management Alerts

```promql theme={"system"}
# Hourly cost spike (>200% of 24h average)
rate(llm_cost_sum[1h]) > 2 * avg_over_time(rate(llm_cost_sum[1h])[24h:])

# Daily budget threshold (>80% of daily limit)
increase(llm_cost_sum[1d]) > 0.8 * $DAILY_BUDGET_LIMIT
```

## Security Considerations

<Warning>
  When deploying metrics collection in production:

  1. **Endpoint Security**: Consider securing the `/metrics` endpoint with authentication or network restrictions
  2. **Data Sensitivity**: Avoid including sensitive information in metadata labels
  3. **Cardinality Management**: Limit metadata keys to prevent metric explosion and storage issues
  4. **Network Security**: Ensure secure communication between Prometheus and the gateway
  5. **Access Control**: Implement appropriate access controls for monitoring dashboards
</Warning>

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**High Cardinality Metrics**:

* Symptom: Prometheus storage growth, query performance degradation
* Solution: Review `PROMETHEUS_LABELS_METADATA_ALLOWED_KEYS` configuration and limit high-cardinality labels

**Missing Metrics**:

* Check that the `/metrics` endpoint is accessible
* Verify Prometheus scraping configuration
* Review gateway logs for metric collection errors

**Performance Impact**:

* Monitor the overhead of metrics collection on gateway performance
* Consider adjusting scrape intervals for high-volume deployments

# Common Errors & Resolutions
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/support/common-errors-and-resolutions

Since Portkey functions as a gateway - you may encounter Portkey-related, as well as non-Portkey related errors while using our services.

## Identifying the error source

1. Errors exclusively originating from Portkey are **prefixed with "Portkey Error".**
2. While errors originating from your LLM providers (or frameworks) are **returned as they are**, without any transformations.

## How to verify if it's Portkey error

You can quickly verify if the problem is originating from Portkey by **running the same request without Portkey**. If it executes successfully, then it's likely that the error is with Portkey or its integration.

## Common Portkey Errors

1. **Errors related to Missing Mandatory Headers**: This is a common error where certain mandatory headers might be missing from the request. Make sure that all the necessary headers as specified in the respective feature documentation are included in your requests.
2. **Errors related to Invalid Header Values**: At times, an incorrect or unsupported value might be passed in a header, causing this error. Cross-check the values provided against the allowed ones mentioned in our documentation.

> **Date: 8th Dec, 2023**

This December, we're pushing out some exciting new updates to Portkey's **SDKs**, **APIs**, and **Configs**.

<Check>
  [**Portkey's SDKs**](/support/portkeys-december-migration#major-version-release-of-the-sdk) are upped to ***major version 1.0*** bringing parity with the new OpenAI SDK structure and adding Portkey production features to it. We are also bringing native Langchain & Llamaindex integrations inside the SDK. This is a **Breaking Change** that **Requires Migration**.
</Check>

<Check>
  [**Portkey's APIs**](/support/portkeys-december-migration#all-new-apis)are upgraded with ***new endpoints***, making it simpler to do `/chat/completions` and `/completions` calls and adding Portkey's production functionalities to them.

  This is a **Breaking Change** that **Requires Migration**.
</Check>

<Check>
  [**Configs**](/support/portkeys-december-migration#configs-2.0) are upgraded to ***version*** ***2.0***, bringing nested gateway strategies with granular handling. For Configs saved in the Portkey dashboard, this is **NOT a Breaking Change** and we will **Auto Migrate** your old Configs. For Configs directly defined at the time of making a call, through the old SDKs or old APIS, they **will fail** on the new APIs & SDKs and **require migration**.

## All-New APIs

### Here's What's New:

1. Introduced 3 new routes `/chat/completions`, `/completions`, and `/embeddings`
2. Simplified the headers:
   1. `x-portkey-mode` header is deprecated and replaced with `x-portkey-provider`
      1. Which takes values: `openai`, `anyscale`, `cohere,` `palm`, `azure-openai`, and more.
   2. New header `x-portkey-virtual-key` is introduced.
3. `/complete` and `/chatComplete` endpoints to be deprecated soon
4. Prompts endpoint `/prompts/$PROMPT_ID/generate` is upgraded to `/prompts/$PROMPT_ID/completions` and the old route will be deprecated soon
   1. We now support updating the model params on-the-fly (i.e. changing temperature etc at the time of making a call)
   2. Prompt response object on the `/completions` route is now fully OpenAI compliant
5. New `/gateway` endpoint that lets you make calls to third-party LLM providers easily

## Configs 2.0

### Here's What's New

1. New concept of `strategy` instead of standalone `mode`. You can now build bespoke gateway strategies and nest them in a single config.
2. You can also trigger a specific strategy on specific error codes.
3. New concept of `targets` that replace `options` in the previous Config
4. If you are adding `virtual_key` to the target array, you no longer need to add `provider`,Portkey will pick up the Provider directly from the Virtual Key!
5. For Azure, only now pass the `virtual_key` - it takes care of all other Azure params like Deployment name, API version etc.

<Info>
  The Configs UI on Portkey app will autocomplete Configs ONLY in the new format now. All your existing Configs are auto migrated.

# Upgrade to Model Catalog
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/support/upgrade-to-model-catalog

Learn how to upgrade to Model Catalog to replace Virtual Keys

> We are thrilled to introduce the **Model Catalog**, a powerful new feature designed to give your organization end-to-end control, governance, and visibility over your AI models.
>
> The Model Catalog is the evolution of our Virtual Keys feature, built to handle the complexities of enterprise-scale AI operations.
>
> This guide will walk you through what the Model Catalog is, how it enhances your current workflow, and what the experience looks like for every user in your organization.

## Why Upgrade to the Model Catalog?

### First, What is the Model Catalog?

The Model Catalog fundamentally upgrades the Virtual Key experience by introducing a centralized, organization-level management layer. It addresses key governance pain points you have faced, allowing for:

1. **Centralized Provider Management:** Create a single (or multiple) provider integration (e.g., for Azure, OpenAI, Bedrock) at the organization level, and securely provision it to multiple workspaces without re-entering credentials.
2. **Workspace Provisioning:** Easily control which workspaces have access to which provider integrations, and set distinct budgets and rate limits for each workspace from a single screen.
3. **Granular Model Provisioning:** For any given provider integration, you can specify exactly which models (e.g., `gpt-4o`, `claude-4-sonnet`) are available, preventing users from accessing unapproved, expensive, or deprecated models.
4. **Simplified Model Calling:** Your developers can now switch between providers and models directly in their API call using a simple `model = "@provider/model_name"` format, without needing to manage different virtual keys or complex configs for simple requests.

### How It Enhances the Virtual Key Experience

The Model Catalog is designed to be a seamless upgrade. Here’s a quick comparison:

| Feature          | **Old Way (Virtual Keys)**                                                                                                   | **New Way (Model Catalog)**                                                                                                 |
| :--------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Creation**     | Manually create a virtual key in *each* workspace, even with the same credentials.                                           | Create one **Integration** at the Org level and **provision** it to many workspaces.                                        |
| **Budgeting**    | Budgets are set per virtual key. Managing shared provider costs across teams is difficult.                                   | At the org level directly, assign specific budgets/limits **per workspace**.                                                |
| **Model Access** | A virtual key grants access to all models available under that provider key. Control requires complex configs or guardrails. | Define an explicit allow-list of models for each **Integration**. Workspaces only see what you've enabled.                  |
| **Making Calls** | Use the `virtual_key` header or bind a virtual key to a config, then bind that to an API key.                                | Simply pass `model: "@provider_slug/model_slug"` in the request body. The old way still works perfectly.                    |
| **Visibility**   | Org Admins have no central view of all provider credentials being used across all workspaces.                                | Org Admins have a central **Integrations** dashboard to see all connected providers, including those created by workspaces. |

### Is It Backwards Compatible? (The Important Question)

**Yes, the Model Catalog is 100% backwards compatible.**

* Your existing Virtual Keys will be automatically migrated and will appear as "AI Providers" in the Model Catalog, scoped to their original workspace.
* **No code will break.** All your existing applications and scripts that use the `virtual_key` header in requests or configs will continue to work exactly as they do today.

You can adopt the new features at your own pace without any disruption to your production workloads.

## So, What Has Changed?

While the Model Catalog is an important upgrade, the transition is designed to be completely seamless. Here’s the most important thing you need to know:

* Your existing Virtual Keys have been automatically migrated. They are now called "AI Providers", and they keep their original slugs. All your existing code, configs, and prompts will continue to work without any changes.

With that key point in mind, let's explore the new capabilities this unlocks for every role in your organization and how your daily workflows are enhanced.

### The New Experience by Role

### For Organization Admins: Central Command & Control

As an Org Admin, you will see a new **Integrations** tab in your organization settings. This is your central hub for managing all LLM providers.

1. **Connect an Integration:** Instead of creating a virtual key in a workspace, you now "Connect" a provider here. The process of adding credentials is the same. You can create multiple integrations for the same provider (e.g., "Azure-Prod" and "Azure-Dev").
2. **Provision to Workspaces:** In the "Workspace Provisioning" step, you'll see a list of all your workspaces. You can toggle access for each one and set specific budgets and rate limits. You can also choose to automatically provision this integration for any new workspaces created in the future.
3. **Provision Models:** In the "Model Provisioning" step, you can specify exactly which models are accessible through this integration. You can choose to enable all models or select them individually.

There is also a "Workspace-Created" tab to view and manage any integrations created by Workspace Admins themselves, giving you full visibility.

#### For Workspace Admins: Inherit and Customize

As a Workspace Admin, you will now see **Model Catalog** on your sidebar. The old "Virtual Keys" will be marked as deprecated.

* **Inherited Providers:** In the "AI Providers" tab, you will automatically see all the integrations your Org Admin has provisioned for your workspace.
* **Creating New Providers:** You still have flexibility:
  1. **Inherit from Org:** You can create a new provider that inherits from an Org-level integration. This is useful for creating multiple providers with more restrictive budgets than the one assigned to your workspace.
  2. **Create a New Integration (The Old Way):** If enabled by your Org Admin, you can still create a brand new integration exclusively for your workspace, just like you created Virtual Keys before.

#### For Workspace Members (Developers): A Simpler, Better DX

As a developer, your experience is significantly streamlined.

* **The Model Garden:** A new "Models" tab provides a complete gallery of every single model you have access to across all providers in your workspace. You can click on any model to get ready-to-use code snippets.
* **Simplified API Calls:** You no longer need to worry about which virtual key to use for which model. With a single Portkey API key, you can call any model you have access to by specifying the provider and model in the `model` parameter:

  ```python theme={"system"}
  # Switch models and providers on the fly!
  client.chat.completions.create(
      model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
      messages=[...]
  )

  client.chat.completions.create(
      model="@bedrock-us/claude-3-sonnet-v1",
      messages=[...]
  )
  ```

***

### How Your Workflows Change: A Practical Guide

The Model Catalog enhances every area where you previously used Virtual Keys. Let's break down how each of your existing workflows translates to the new, more powerful system.

#### 1. From "Creating Virtual Keys" to "Creating AI Providers"

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="The Old Way">
    You created a Virtual Key inside a specific workspace. This had to be repeated for every workspace needing access to the same provider credentials.
  </Card>

  <Card title="The New Way">
    You now create a central **Integration** at the Org level and provision it to many workspaces. You can also still create workspace-only integrations, or "inherit" from an Org integration to create providers with stricter limits.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**What's Better?**
This "create once, provision many" model saves significant time, reduces the risk of configuration errors, and gives you a single place to manage provider credentials and model access for your entire organization.

***

#### 2. From "Sending Virtual Keys in Requests" to "Using the Model Parameter"

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="The Old Way">
    You sent the Virtual Key slug in the `virtual_key` header of your request.
  </Card>

  <Card title="The New Way">
    The `virtual_key` header is fully backward compatible and will continue to work. However, the recommended and more powerful method is to specify the provider and model directly in the `model` parameter of your request body.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

We've renamed "Virtual Keys" to **AI Providers** at the workspace level. To reference one in a request, you simply prefix its slug with an `@` symbol in your inference requests.

**What's Better?**
This method is more explicit and keeps all model-related information in one place—the `model` parameter. It eliminates the need for a separate header and makes switching between models and providers incredibly simple.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Portkey & OpenAI Python SDK theme={"system"}
  # Note: Your AI Provider slug is "my-azure-prod"
  # Note: The model you want to use is "gpt-4o"

  response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="@my-azure-prod/gpt-4o",  # The new, recommended format
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  )
  ```

  ```javascript Portkey & OpenAI Node.js SDK theme={"system"}
  // Note: Your AI Provider slug is "my-azure-prod"
  // Note: The model you want to use is "gpt-4o"

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    model: "@my-azure-prod/gpt-4o", // The new, recommended format
    messages: [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
  });
  ```

  ```bash REST API (cURL) theme={"system"}
  # Note: Your AI Provider slug is "my-azure-prod"
  # Note: The model you want to use is "gpt-4o"

  curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-portkey-api-key: YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "@my-azure-prod/gpt-4o",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hello!"
      }
    ]
  }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

***

#### 3. From "Using Virtual Keys in Configs" to "Using Models in Configs"

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="The Old Way">
    You added a `virtual_key` field to your Portkey Config, either at the root level or inside a strategy target (like fallback or load balance).
  </Card>

  <Card title="The New Way">
    This continues to work perfectly. For new configs, you can now specify the `model` directly in a target's `override_params`. This unlocks powerful, multi-provider strategies.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**What's Better?**
You are no longer limited to falling back between virtual keys of the same provider. You can now create a fallback strategy from an Azure OpenAI deployment to a direct OpenAI integration, or from Bedrock to Google AI, all within a single, elegant config.

**Example: Multi-Provider Fallback Config**

Here’s a config that tries a model on Azure first. If that fails, it automatically falls back to the same model on AWS Bedrock.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback",
    "on_status_codes": [429, 500, 503]
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      // Target 1: Try Azure first
      "override_params": {
        "model": "@azure-us-east/gpt-4o"
      }
    },
    {
      // Target 2: Fallback to Bedrock if Azure fails
      "override_params": {
        "model": "@bedrock-main/anthropic.claude-3-sonnet-20240229-v1:0"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

When you make a request using this config, you don't need to specify a model at all. Portkey handles the complex routing for you.

***

#### 4. From "Using Virtual Keys in Prompts" to... Nothing!

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="The Old Way">
    When creating a prompt template, you selected a Virtual Key from a dropdown to power the prompt.
  </Card>

  <Card title="The New Way">
    **No action is required from you.** We've handled this automatically.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**What's Better?**
A seamless, zero-effort migration. Your existing prompt templates have been automatically updated behind the scenes to use the new AI Provider system. They will continue to work exactly as before without any changes on your end. When creating new prompts, you'll now select from a list of AI Providers.

***

### How to Get Started

The Model Catalog is currently available as a feature-flagged release.

1. **Contact Us:** Reach out to the Portkey team [here](https://portkey.wiki/community), and we will enable the Model Catalog for your organization.
2. **Test in a Dev Org:** We recommend enabling it for a non-production or sandbox organization first. This allows you to explore the new workflows, set up your first Org-level integrations, and prepare your teams.
3. **Plan Your Rollout:** Once you're comfortable, we can enable it for your production organization. You can then begin to migrate your workspace-level virtual keys to centrally managed integrations.

We are incredibly excited for you to experience the next level of control and efficiency with the Portkey Model Catalog.

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="User asks a question in LibreChat">
    When you send a message requiring current information
  </Step>

  <Step title="Request routes through Portkey">
    Portkey intercepts the request and triggers the Exa plugin
  </Step>

  <Step title="Exa searches the web">
    Relevant search results are fetched from across the internet
  </Step>

  <Step title="Context enhancement">
    Search results are added to your prompt as additional context
  </Step>

  <Step title="LLM responds with current information">
    Your chosen LLM now has access to real-time data to answer accurately
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

1. ✅ [LibreChat installed and running](https://www.librechat.ai/docs/quick_start/local_setup)
2. ✅ [Basic Portkey + LibreChat integration](/integrations/libraries/librechat) completed
3. ✅ [Portkey account](https://app.portkey.ai) with API key
4. ✅ [Exa account](https://exa.ai) with API key

## Setup Guide

### Step 1: Enable Exa Plugin in Portkey

First, activate the Exa plugin in your Portkey account:

1. Log into your [Portkey dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai)
2. Navigate to `Settings` → `Plugins` in the sidebar
3. Find **Exa** in the list of available plugins
4. Click **Enable** and enter your Exa API key
5. Save your settings

</Frame>

### Step 2: Create an Exa Guardrail

Next, create a guardrail that will add web search to your requests:

1. Go to the `Guardrails` page in Portkey
2. Click `Create New Guardrail`
3. Search for **"Exa Online Search"** and click `Add`
4. Configure the following parameters:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "context_prefix": "<web_search_context>",
  "context_suffix": "</web_search_context>",
  "num_results": 3,
  "timeout": 10000
}
```

<Info>
  **Recommended Settings:**

  * **Number of Results**: 3-5 (balances information vs token usage)
  * **Timeout**: 10000ms (10 seconds)
  * **Include/Exclude Domains**: Leave empty for general use, or specify trusted sources
</Info>

5. Set the action to `passthrough` (default)
6. Save the guardrail and copy the **Guardrail ID**

### Step 3: Create a Config with Web Search

Now create a Portkey config that includes your Exa guardrail:

1. Navigate to `Configs` in the Portkey dashboard
2. Click `Create New Config`
3. Add your configuration:

<CodeGroup>
  ```json Using Virtual Key theme={"system"}
  {
    "virtual_key": "YOUR_PROVIDER_VIRTUAL_KEY",
    "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
    "override_params": {
      "model": "gpt-4o"  // or any model you prefer
    }
  }
  ```

  ```json Using Provider API Key theme={"system"}
  {
    "provider": "openai",
    "api_key": "YOUR_PROVIDER_API_KEY",
    "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
    "override_params": {
      "model": "gpt-4o"
    }
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

4. Save the config and note the **Config ID** (e.g., `pc-websearch-xxx`)

### Step 4: Update Your LibreChat Configuration

Finally, update your LibreChat setup to use the web-search enabled config:

1. Edit your `librechat.yaml` file:

```yaml librechat.yaml theme={"system"}
version: 1.1.4
cache: true
endpoints:
  custom:
    - name: "Portkey with Web Search"
      apiKey: "dummy"
      baseURL: ${PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL}
      headers:
        x-portkey-api-key: "${PORTKEY_API_KEY}"
        x-portkey-config: "pc-websearch-xxx"  # Your config ID from Step 3
      models:
        default: ["gpt-4o", "claude-3-sonnet", "llama-3.1-70b"]
        fetch: true
      titleConvo: true
      titleModel: "current_model"
      summarize: false
      summaryModel: "current_model"
      forcePrompt: false
      modelDisplayLabel: "Portkey:WebSearch"
```

2. Restart your LibreChat instance

### Step 5: Test Your Setup

1. Open LibreChat in your browser
2. Select **"Portkey with Web Search"** as your endpoint
3. Try asking questions that require current information:

```
"What happened in the tech industry today?"
"What's the current price of Bitcoin?"
"Who won the latest sports championship?"
"What are the latest AI model releases?"
```

You should see responses with up-to-date information pulled from the web!

## Advanced Configuration

### Domain Filtering

For specialized use cases, you can limit search results to specific domains:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "virtual_key": "YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY",
  "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
  "override_params": {
    "model": "gpt-4o"
  }
}
```

In your Exa guardrail settings:

* **Include Domains**: `["arxiv.org", "nature.com", "pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov"]` (for academic research)
* **Exclude Domains**: `["reddit.com", "twitter.com"]` (to avoid social media)

### Multiple Configurations

Create different configs for different use cases:

```yaml librechat.yaml theme={"system"}
endpoints:
  custom:
    - name: "AI Research Assistant"
      apiKey: "dummy"
      baseURL: ${PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL}
      headers:
        x-portkey-api-key: "${PORTKEY_API_KEY}"
        x-portkey-config: "pc-research-xxx"  # Config with academic domains
      models:
        default: ["gpt-4o"]
      modelDisplayLabel: "Research:WebSearch"

    - name: "News & Current Events"
      apiKey: "dummy"
      baseURL: ${PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL}
      headers:
        x-portkey-api-key: "${PORTKEY_API_KEY}"
        x-portkey-config: "pc-news-xxx"  # Config with news domains
      models:
        default: ["claude-3-sonnet"]
      modelDisplayLabel: "News:WebSearch"
```

### Combining with Other Portkey Features

Enhance your web-search enabled config with additional Portkey features:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "virtual_key": "YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY",
  "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
  "output_guardrails": ["content_safety_guardrail_id"],
  "cache": {
    "mode": "semantic",
    "max_age": 3600
  },
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3
  },
  "override_params": {
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "temperature": 0.7
  }
}
```

## Monitoring Web Search Usage

Track your web-search enhanced conversations in the Portkey dashboard:

1. Navigate to **Logs** in Portkey
2. Filter by config ID to see web-search requests
3. Click on individual logs to see:
   * The original user query
   * Web search results added as context
   * Token usage (including search context)
   * Response time and costs

## Key Production Features

By routing your agent's requests through Portkey, you make your agents production-grade with the following features.

### 1. [Interoperability](/product/ai-gateway/universal-api)

Easily switch between LLM providers. Call various LLMs such as Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock and much more by simply changing the `provider ` and `API key` in the LLM object.

### 2. [Caching](/product/ai-gateway/cache-simple-and-semantic)

Improve performance and reduce costs on your Agent's LLM calls by storing past responses in the Portkey cache. Choose between Simple and Semantic cache modes in your Portkey's gateway config.

```json theme={"system"}
{
 "cache": {
    "mode": "semantic" // Choose between "simple" or "semantic"
 }
}
```

### 3. [Reliability](/product/ai-gateway)

Set up **fallbacks** between different LLMs or providers, **load balance** your requests across multiple instances or API keys, set **automatic retries**, and **request timeouts.** Ensure your agents' resilience with advanced reliability features.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 5
  },
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance" // Choose between "loadbalance" or "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "api_key": "OpenAI_API_Key"
    },
    {
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "api_key": "Anthropic_API_Key"
    }
  ]
}
```

### 4. [Observability](/product/observability)

Portkey automatically logs key details about your agent runs, including cost, tokens used, response time, etc. For agent-specific observability, add Trace IDs to the request headers for each agent. This enables filtering analytics by Trace IDs, ensuring deeper monitoring and analysis.

### 5. [Logs](/product/observability/logs)

Access a dedicated section to view records of action executions, including parameters, outcomes, and errors. Filter logs of your agent run based on multiple parameters such as trace ID, model, tokens used, metadata, etc.

<Frame>
  <img alt="azure" />
</Frame>

### 6. [Prompt Management](/product/prompt-library)

Use Portkey as a centralized hub to store, version, and experiment with your agent's prompts across multiple LLMs. Easily modify your prompts and run A/B tests without worrying about the breaking prod.

### 7. [Continuous Improvement](/product/observability/feedback)

Improve your Agent runs by capturing qualitative & quantitative user feedback on your requests, and then using that feedback to make your prompts AND LLMs themselves better.

### 8. [Security & Compliance](/product/enterprise-offering/security-portkey)

Set budget limits on provider API keys and implement fine-grained user roles and permissions for both the app and the Portkey APIs.


# AWS AgentCore
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/agents/agentcore

Run Portkey-powered agents inside Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is AWS's agentic platform for executing, scaling, and governing AI agents. Because AgentCore can host any OpenAI-compatible framework (Strands, OpenAI Agents, LangGraph, Google ADK, custom code), you can plug Portkey in as the LLM gateway to unlock multi-provider routing, deep observability, and enterprise guardrails without changing your agent logic.

**What you get with this integration**

* **Unified gateway** for 1600+ models while keeping AgentCore's runtime, gateway, and memory services intact
* **Production telemetry** with traces, logs, and metrics for every AgentCore invocation via Portkey headers and metadata
* **Reliability controls** (fallbacks, load balancing, timeouts) that shield your agents from provider failures
* **Centralized governance** over provider keys, spend, and access policies using Portkey API keys across AgentCore environments

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

> Each framework integration guide shows you exactly how to configure Portkey. The steps below demonstrate a generic setup that works with any of these frameworks.

***

## Quick start

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your agent with AgentCore">
    Start by creating your agent using the AgentCore CLI:

    ```bash theme={"system"}
    agentcore create
    ```

    This command will prompt you to choose an agent framework:

    * `openai-agents` - OpenAI Agents SDK (Python or TypeScript)
    * `strands-agents` - AWS Strands Agents
    * `langgraph` - LangGraph workflows
    * `google-adk` - Google Agent Development Kit

    The CLI will scaffold your agent project with the selected framework and install dependencies including `bedrock_agentcore.runtime` helpers for local testing and deployment.

    After creation, add Portkey's SDK to enable multi-provider routing:

    ```bash theme={"system"}
    pip install portkey-ai    # For Python projects
    npm install portkey-ai    # For TypeScript projects
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up Portkey credentials">
    **Create your Portkey API key with routing configuration:**

    1. **Add your AI provider keys**\
       Go to [Model Catalog Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) in the Portkey dashboard and add your actual AI provider keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, etc.). Each provider key gets a unique slug that you'll reference in configs.

    2. **Create a routing configuration**\
       Go to [Configs](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) to define how requests should be routed. A basic config looks like:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "provider": "@openai-key-abc123"
    }
    ```

    For production setups, add fallbacks, load balancing, and conditional routing:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "strategy": {
        "mode": "fallback"
      },
      "targets": [
        { "provider": "@openai-key-abc123" },
        { "provider": "@anthropic-key-xyz789" }
      ]
    }
    ```

    3. **Generate your Portkey API key**\
       Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) to create a new API key. Attach your config as the default routing config to get an API key that automatically routes to your configured providers.

    **Store credentials in AWS Secrets Manager:**

    Store your Portkey API key in AWS Secrets Manager so your AgentCore runtime can access it securely. Then reference it in your AgentCore environment variables as `PORTKEY_API_KEY`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wire Portkey into your agent">
    Wrap your agent runnable with `BedrockAgentCoreApp` and point the underlying OpenAI-compatible client at Portkey. This example uses OpenAI Agents SDK, but the same pattern works with Strands, LangGraph, and other frameworks.

    ```python theme={"system"}
    import os
    from agents import Agent, Runner, set_default_openai_client, set_default_openai_api
    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
    from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders
    from bedrock_agentcore.runtime import BedrockAgentCoreApp

    # 1. Route LLM calls through Portkey
    # This works with any framework that accepts an OpenAI-compatible client
    portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
        default_headers={
            "x-portkey-provider": "openai",                # or anthropic, google-ai, aws-bedrock, etc.
            "x-portkey-trace-id": "agentcore-session",     # groups all requests in Portkey logs
            "x-portkey-metadata": {"agent": "support", "environment": "production"}
        }
    )
    set_default_openai_client(portkey_client, use_for_tracing=False)
    set_default_openai_api("chat_completions")

    # 2. Define your framework-specific agent object
    # (This example uses OpenAI Agents SDK)
    agent = Agent(
        name="Support Assistant",
        instructions="Answer user questions using company knowledge.",
        model="gpt-4o"  # model hint – actual routing is decided by Portkey config
    )

    # 3. Expose an AgentCore entrypoint
    app = BedrockAgentCoreApp()

    @app.entrypoint
    async def agent_invocation(payload, context):
        question = payload.get("prompt", "How can I help you today?")
        result = await Runner.run(agent, question)
        return {"result": result.final_output}

    app.run()
    ```

    <Note>
      **For framework-specific examples**, see our detailed integration guides:

      * [Strands Agents](/integrations/agents/strands) - AWS's simple agent framework
      * [LangGraph](/integrations/agents/langgraph) - Stateful agent workflows
      * [OpenAI Agents (Python)](/integrations/agents/openai-agents) - Complex agents with tools
      * [OpenAI Agents (TypeScript)](/integrations/agents/openai-agents-ts) - TypeScript agent development
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy to AgentCore Runtime">
    Deploy your agent to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime:

    ```bash theme={"system"}
    agentcore deploy
    ```

    This command will:

    * Consolidate all your code into a zip file
    * Deploy your agent to AgentCore Runtime
    * Configure CloudWatch logging
    * Set up environment variables (including `PORTKEY_API_KEY`)

    <Note>
      If you don't already have the required permissions, refer to [IAM Permissions for AgentCore](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/security-iam.html).
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invoke your deployed agent">
    Test your deployed agent with a prompt:

    ```bash theme={"system"}
    agentcore invoke '{"prompt": "tell me a joke"}'
    ```

    All LLM traffic from your agent now flows through Portkey, giving you observability, reliability, and multi-provider routing. Check the [Portkey dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/logs) to see traces, costs, and performance metrics.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  AgentCore batches tools, memory, and runtime services. Portkey only replaces the LLM transport, so you can keep using AgentCore Gateway, Memory, and Identity features while benefiting from Portkey's routing and analytics.
</Note>

| Different agents inside the runtime need different providers | Instantiate per-agent model objects with bespoke Portkey headers/configs                                      | Useful for multi-tenant AgentCore applications                                                                                                                          |

Because AgentCore supports any OpenAI-compatible library, you can reuse the exact Portkey configuration patterns from our framework-specific guides. Whether you're using Strands, LangGraph, OpenAI Agents, or even Google ADK—the integration approach remains consistent.

***

## Production features to enable

### Observability

Attach trace IDs and metadata directly from your AgentCore entrypoint so Portkey groups every tool call, LLM exchange, and retry under a single execution record.
Apply Portkey Configs for fallbacks, retries, load balancing, or conditional routing to keep AgentCore agents resilient to provider hiccups. You can attach the config globally via the API key or per-request via `createHeaders`.

### Model interoperability

Switch providers without touching your AgentCore business logic by swapping the Portkey config or provider slug (`@openai-prod`, `@anthropic-prod`, `@gemini-fast`, etc.). The agent definition stays unchanged.

### Governance & access control

Distribute Portkey API keys (not raw provider keys) to AgentCore teams, enforce spend budgets, and audit usage across every invocation emitted by the runtime.---

***

## Compatibility checklist

* ✅ **Agent frameworks**: Strands, OpenAI Agents (Python/TypeScript), LangGraph, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, Google ADK—anything that can target an OpenAI-compatible client
* ✅ **AgentCore services**: Runtime, Gateway, Memory, Identity all continue to work; Portkey only handles LLM transport
* ✅ **MCP / A2A tools**: Tool invocations remain unchanged; Portkey runs alongside AgentCore Gateway tool definitions
* ✅ **Foundation models**: Route to Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, Cohere, or on-prem models by updating your Portkey config—no redeploy required

<Note>
  For best performance, deploy your Portkey gateway in the same AWS Region as your AgentCore runtime (for example, use `customHost` pointing at a private Portkey data plane) to minimize cross-region latency.
</Note>

## Next steps

1. Monitor test invocations in the [Portkey dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/logs) to validate tracing, metadata, and costs
2. Attach Portkey guardrails (PII redaction, schema validation, content filters) if your AgentCore agents need compliance controls
3. Expand beyond a single model by adding fallbacks or conditional routing rules in Portkey Configs
4. Coordinate with AWS AgentCore Gateway to expose Portkey-observed tools for deeper analytics across both platforms

    1. Go to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) → **AI Providers** tab
    2. Find your integration
    3. Copy the **slug** (e.g., `openai-dev`)

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      This slug is your provider's unique identifier - you'll need it for the next step.
    </Note>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Quickstart

You will need

* Portkey API Key & Portkey AI Provider slug from Step 1

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install required packages">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    pip install -U agno portkey-ai
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get your Portkey API Key">
    Sign up at [app.portkey.ai](https://app.portkey.ai) to get your API key.

    Once you are on the Portkey follow this guide to create your first AI provider and integration that will help us connect Agno to any LLM provider.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Portkey with Agno">
    Agno makes integration incredibly simple - just use the `OpenAILike` model class with Portkey's configuration:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike

    portkey_model = OpenAILike(
        id="@opeani-provider-slug/gpt-4o",  # you need to use "@provider-slug/model-name" for any provider
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    )
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Simple E2E example agent

Let's create a simple Agno agent that uses Portkey for LLM calls:

```python simple_agent.py theme={"system"}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike

# Configure Portkey as the model provider
portkey_model = OpenAILike(
    id="@opeani-provider-slug/gpt-4o",  # You can use any model available on Portkey
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
)

# Create an Agno agent with Portkey
agent = Agent(
    model=portkey_model,
    instructions="Be concise and informative.",
    markdown=True,
)

# Run the agent
agent.print_response("What is Portkey AI?", stream=True)
```

Visit your Portkey dashboard to see detailed logs of your agent's execution, including tool calls and model responses!

## Production Features

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Traces">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Traces provide a hierarchical view of your agent's execution, showing the sequence of LLM calls, tool invocations, and state transitions.

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from agno.agent import Agent
    from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    # Add tracing to your Agno agents
    portkey_model = OpenAILike(
        id="@opeani-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            trace_id="unique_execution_trace_id",  # Add unique trace ID
        )
    )

    agent = Agent(
        model=portkey_model,
        instructions="You are a helpful assistant.",
        markdown=True
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Logs">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Portkey logs every interaction with LLMs, including:

    * Complete request and response payloads
    * Latency and token usage metrics
    * Cost calculations
    * Tool calls and function executions

    All logs can be filtered by metadata, trace IDs, models, and more, making it easy to debug specific agent runs.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Metrics & Dashboards">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Portkey provides built-in dashboards that help you:

    * Track cost and token usage across all agent runs
    * Analyze performance metrics like latency and success rates
    * Identify bottlenecks in your agent workflows
    * Compare different agent configurations and LLMs

    You can filter and segment all metrics by custom metadata to analyze specific agent types, user groups, or use cases.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Metadata Filtering">
    <Frame>
      <img alt="Analytics with metadata filters" />
    </Frame>

    Add custom metadata to your Agno agent calls to enable powerful filtering and segmentation:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from agno.agent import Agent
    from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    # Add metadata to your Agno agents
    portkey_model = OpenAILike(
        id="@opeani-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            metadata={"agent_type": "research_agent"},  # Add custom metadata
        )
    )

    agent = Agent(
        model=portkey_model,
        name="Research Agent",
        instructions="You are a research assistant.",
        markdown=True
    )
    ```

    This metadata can be used to filter logs, traces, and metrics on the Portkey dashboard, allowing you to analyze specific agent runs, users, or environments.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Reliability - Keep Your Agents Running Smoothly

When running agents in production, things can go wrong - API rate limits, network issues, or provider outages. Portkey's reliability features ensure your agents keep running smoothly even when problems occur.

It's this simple to enable fallback in your Agno agents:

```python theme={"system"}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# Create a config with fallbacks
# It's recommended that you create the Config in Portkey App rather than hard-code the config JSON directly
config = {
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "override_params": {"model": "@opeani-provider-slug/gpt-4o"}
    },
    {
      "override_params": {"model": "claude-3-opus-20240229"}
    }
  ]
}

# Configure Portkey model with fallback config
portkey_model = OpenAILike(
    id="@opeani-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(config=config)
)

agent = Agent(
    model=portkey_model,
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant.",
    markdown=True
)
```

This configuration will automatically try Claude if the GPT-4o request fails, ensuring your agent can continue operating.

### 3. Prompting in Agno Agents

Portkey's Prompt Engineering Studio helps you create, manage, and optimize the prompts used in your Agno agents. Instead of hardcoding prompts or instructions, use Portkey's prompt rendering API to dynamically fetch and apply your versioned prompts.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Prompt Playground Interface" />
</Frame>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Prompt Playground">
    Prompt Playground is a place to compare, test and deploy perfect prompts for your AI application. It's where you experiment with different models, test variables, compare outputs, and refine your prompt engineering strategy before deploying to production. It allows you to:

    1. Iteratively develop prompts before using them in your agents
    2. Test prompts with different variables and models
    3. Compare outputs between different prompt versions
    4. Collaborate with team members on prompt development

    This visual environment makes it easier to craft effective prompts for each step in your Agno agent's workflow.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Prompt Templates">
    The Prompt Render API retrieves your prompt templates with all parameters configured:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from agno.agent import Agent
    from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike
    from portkey_ai import Portkey, createHeaders

    # Initialize Portkey client
    portkey_client = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")

    # Retrieve prompt using the render API
    prompt_data = portkey_client.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
        variables={
            "user_input": "Tell me about artificial intelligence"
        }
    )

    # Configure Agno model with Portkey
    portkey_model = OpenAILike(
        id="@opeani-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    )

    # Use the rendered prompt in your Agno agent
    agent = Agent(
        name="Assistant",
        model=portkey_model,
        instructions=prompt_data.data.messages[0]["content"],  # Use the rendered prompt as instructions
        markdown=True
    )

    agent.print_response("Tell me about artificial intelligence", stream=True)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Prompt Versioning">
    You can:

    * Create multiple versions of the same prompt
    * Compare performance between versions
    * Roll back to previous versions if needed
    * Specify which version to use in your code:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Use a specific prompt version
    prompt_data = portkey_client.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID@version_number",
        variables={
            "user_input": "Tell me about quantum computing"
        }
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Mustache Templating for variables">
    Portkey prompts use Mustache-style templating for easy variable substitution:

    ```
    You are an AI assistant helping with {{task_type}}.

    User question: {{user_input}}

    Please respond in a {{tone}} tone and include {{required_elements}}.
    ```

    When rendering, simply pass the variables:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    prompt_data = portkey_client.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
        variables={
            "task_type": "research",
            "user_input": "Tell me about quantum computing",
            "tone": "professional",
            "required_elements": "recent academic references"
        }
    )
    ```

### 4. Guardrails for Safe Agents

Guardrails ensure your Agno agents operate safely and respond appropriately in all situations.

**Why Use Guardrails?**

Agno agents can experience various failure modes:

* Generating harmful or inappropriate content
* Leaking sensitive information like PII
* Hallucinating incorrect information
* Generating outputs in incorrect formats

Portkey's guardrails protect against these issues by validating both inputs and outputs.

**Implementing Guardrails**

```python theme={"system"}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# Create a config with input and output guardrails
# It's recommended you create Config in Portkey App and pass the config ID in the client
config = {
    "input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"],
    "output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx"]
}

# Configure Agno model with guardrails
portkey_model = OpenAILike(
    id="@opeani-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        config=config,
    )
)

agent = Agent(
    model=portkey_model,
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant that provides safe responses.",
    markdown=True
)
```

Portkey's guardrails can:

* Detect and redact PII in both inputs and outputs
* Filter harmful or inappropriate content
* Validate response formats against schemas
* Check for hallucinations against ground truth
* Apply custom business logic and rules

### 5. User Tracking with Metadata

Track individual users through your Agno agents using Portkey's metadata system.

**What is Metadata in Portkey?**

Metadata allows you to associate custom data with each request, enabling filtering, segmentation, and analytics. The special `_user` field is specifically designed for user tracking.

```python theme={"system"}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# Configure model with user tracking
portkey_model = OpenAILike(
    id="@opeani-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        metadata={
            "_user": "user_123",  # Special _user field for user analytics
            "user_name": "John Doe",
            "user_tier": "premium",
            "user_company": "Acme Corp"
        }
    )
)

agent = Agent(
    model=portkey_model,
    user_id="user_123",  # Also use Agno's user_id for agent-level tracking
    instructions="You are a personalized assistant.",
    markdown=True
)
```

**Filter Analytics by User**

With metadata in place, you can filter analytics by user and analyze performance metrics on a per-user basis:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

This enables:

* Per-user cost tracking and budgeting
* Personalized user analytics
* Team or organization-level metrics
* Environment-specific monitoring (staging vs. production)

### 6. Caching for Efficient Agents

Implement caching to make your Agno agents more efficient and cost-effective:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Simple Caching">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from agno.agent import Agent
    from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    portkey_config = {
      "cache": {
        "mode": "simple"
      },
    }

    # Configure Agno model with caching
    portkey_model = OpenAILike(
        id="@opeani-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers=createHeaders(config=portkey_config)
    )

    agent = Agent(
        model=portkey_model,
        instructions="You are a helpful assistant.",
        markdown=True
    )
    ```

    Simple caching performs exact matches on input prompts, caching identical requests to avoid redundant model executions.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Semantic Caching">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from agno.agent import Agent
    from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    portkey_config = {
      "cache": {
        "mode": "semantic"
      },
    }

    # Configure Agno model with semantic caching
    portkey_model = OpenAILike(
        id="@opeani-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers=createHeaders(config=portkey_config)
    )

    agent = Agent(
        model=portkey_model,
        instructions="You are a helpful assistant.",
        markdown=True
    )
    ```

    Semantic caching considers the contextual similarity between input requests, caching responses for semantically similar inputs.

## End-to-End Examples

### Level 1: Agent with Tools and Observability

Let's build an agent that uses tools while leveraging Portkey's observability features:

```python agent_with_tools.py theme={"system"}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike
from agno.tools.yfinance import YFinanceTools
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# Configure Portkey with enhanced tracking

    "Analyze Tesla's current financial position and recent performance",
    stream=True
)
```

### Level 2: Agent with Knowledge Base and Caching

Enhance your Agno agent with knowledge retrieval while using Portkey's caching to optimize costs:

```python agent_with_knowledge.py theme={"system"}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike
from agno.knowledge.url import UrlKnowledge
from agno.vectordb.lancedb import LanceDb, SearchType
from agno.embedder.openai import OpenAIEmbedder
from agno.storage.sqlite import SqliteStorage
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# Configure Portkey with caching
cache_config = {
    "cache": {
        "mode": "semantic",
        "max_age": 3600  # Cache for 1 hour
    }
}

portkey_model = OpenAILike(
    id="opeani-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        config=cache_config,
        metadata={"agent_type": "knowledge_assistant"}
    )
)

# Set up knowledge base
knowledge = UrlKnowledge(
    urls=["https://docs.agno.com/introduction.md"],
    vector_db=LanceDb(
        uri="tmp/lancedb",
        table_name="agno_docs",
        search_type=SearchType.hybrid,
        embedder=OpenAIEmbedder(id="text-embedding-3-small", dimensions=1536),
    ),
)

# Configure storage
storage = SqliteStorage(table_name="agent_sessions", db_file="tmp/agent.db")

agent = Agent(
    name="Agno Assistant",
    model=portkey_model,
    knowledge=knowledge,
    storage=storage,
    instructions=[
        "Always search the knowledge base before answering",
        "Provide accurate information from the documentation",
        "If information isn't found, clearly state that"
    ],
    add_history_to_messages=True,
    num_history_runs=5,
    markdown=True
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Load knowledge base (only needed first time)
    agent.knowledge.load(recreate=False)

    # Ask questions - responses will be cached by Portkey
    agent.print_response("What are the key features of Agno?", stream=True)
```

### Level 3: Agent with Memory, Reasoning, and Reliability

        "Provide data-driven recommendations",
        "Display results in clear tables"
    ],
    memory=memory,
    enable_agentic_memory=True,
    markdown=True,
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # First interaction - agent learns preferences
    agent.print_response(
        "I'm interested in tech stocks, particularly AI companies like NVIDIA and Microsoft",
        stream=True,
        show_full_reasoning=True,
    )

    # Second interaction - agent uses memory
    agent.print_response(
        "Based on my interests, what stocks should I watch today?",
        stream=True,
        show_full_reasoning=True,
    )
```

## Set Up Enterprise Governance for Agno AI agents

**Why Enterprise Governance?**
If you are using Agno AI agents inside your orgnaization, you need to consider several governance aspects:

* **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
* **Access Control**: Managing which teams can use specific models
* **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
* **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
* **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users

Portkey adds a comprehensive governance layer to address these enterprise needs. Let's implement these controls step by step.

**Enterprise Implementation Guide**

Portkey allows you to use 1600+ LLMs with your Agno AI agents setup, with minimal configuration required. Let's set up the core components in Portkey that you'll need for integration.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Model Catalog enables you to have granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/model-catalog/integrations#3-budget-%26-rate-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new Provider for each engineering team with budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure department-specific limits

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. You can simply manage AI models in your org by provisioning model at the top integration level.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Set Routing Configuration">
    Portkey allows you to control your routing logic very simply with it's Configs feature. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with things like:

    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive code and data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks, load-balance, retry and smart conditional routing logic
    * **Caching**: Implement Simple and Semantic Caching. and more....

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to load-balance requests to OpenAI and Anthropic:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
    	"strategy": {
    		"mode": "load-balance"
    	},
    	"targets": [
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER-SLUG/MODEL_NAME"
    			}
    		},
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER-SLUG/MODEL_NAME"
    			}
    		}
    	]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard. You'll need the config ID for connecting to Cline's setup.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Implement Access Controls">
    ### Step 3: Implement Access Controls

    Create User-specific API keys that automatically:

    * Track usage per developer/team with the help of metadata
    * Apply appropriate configs to route requests
    * Collect relevant metadata to filter logs
    * Enforce access permissions

    Create API keys through:

    * [Portkey App](https://app.portkey.ai/)
    * [API Key Management API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key)

    Example using Python SDK:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY")

    api_key = portkey.api_keys.create(
        name="frontend-engineering",
        type="organisation",
        workspace_id="YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
        defaults={
            "config_id": "your-config-id",
            "metadata": {
                "environment": "development",
                "department": "engineering",
                "team": "frontend"
            }
        },
        scopes=["logs.view", "configs.read"]
    )
    ```

    For detailed key management instructions, see our [API Keys documentation](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 5: Deploy & Monitor">
    ### Step 4: Deploy & Monitor

    After distributing API keys to your engineering teams, your enterprise-ready Cline setup is ready to go. Each developer can now use their designated API keys with appropriate access levels and budget controls.
    Apply your governance setup using the integration steps from earlier sections

from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_agentchat.ui import Console
from autogen_core.models import ModelFamily

from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
import asyncio

# Define a model client that talks to Portkey's OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
# Use a Model Catalog model string: "@provider_slug/model_name"
model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    model="@your-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
    model_info={
        "vision": True,
        "function_calling": True,
        "json_output": True,
        "structured_output": True,
        # Use GPT family for gpt-4o to allow tools + system message
        "family": ModelFamily.GPT_45,
    },
    # Optional headers: attach Portkey Configs, tracing, or metadata
    default_headers={

    Traces provide a hierarchical view of your agent's execution, showing the sequence of LLM calls, tool invocations, and state transitions.

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
    from autogen_agentchat.ui import Console
    from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
    from autogen_core.models import ModelFamily
    import asyncio

    # Add tracing to your Autogen agents via Portkey headers
    model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        model="@your-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
        model_info={"family": ModelFamily.GPT_45},
        default_headers={
            "x-portkey-trace-id": "unique_execution_trace_id"
        }
    )

    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="observer",
        model_client=model_client,
        system_message="You are a helpful assistant."
    )

    async def main():
        await Console(agent.run_stream(task="Say hello"))
        await model_client.close()

    asyncio.run(main())
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Logs">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Portkey logs every interaction with LLMs, including:

    * Complete request and response payloads
    * Latency and token usage metrics
    * Cost calculations
    * Tool calls and function executions

    All logs can be filtered by metadata, trace IDs, models, and more, making it easy to debug specific agent runs.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Metrics & Dashboards">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Portkey provides built-in dashboards that help you:

    * Track cost and token usage across all agent runs
    * Analyze performance metrics like latency and success rates
    * Identify bottlenecks in your agent workflows
    * Compare different agent configurations and LLMs

    You can filter and segment all metrics by custom metadata to analyze specific agent types, user groups, or use cases.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Metadata Filtering">
    <Frame>
      <img alt="Analytics with metadata filters" />
    </Frame>

    Add custom metadata to your Autogen agent calls to enable powerful filtering and segmentation:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
    from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
    from autogen_core.models import ModelFamily
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        model="@your-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
        model_info={"family": ModelFamily.GPT_45},
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            metadata={"agent_type": "research_agent"}
        )
    )

    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="research_agent",
        model_client=model_client,
        system_message="You are a research assistant."
    )
    ```

    This metadata can be used to filter logs, traces, and metrics on the Portkey dashboard, allowing you to analyze specific agent runs, users, or environments.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Reliability - Keep Your Autogen Agents Running Smoothly

When running agents in production, things can go wrong - API rate limits, network issues, or provider outages. Portkey's reliability features ensure your agents keep running smoothly even when problems occur.

It's this simple to enable fallback in your Autogen agents:

```python theme={"system"}
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
from autogen_core.models import ModelFamily
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# Create a config with fallbacks (recommend creating this in Portkey App)
config = {
  "strategy": {"mode": "fallback"},
  "targets": [
    {"override_params": {"model": "@your-provider-slug/gpt-4o"}},
    {"override_params": {"model": "@your-anthropic-provider/claude-3-opus-20240229"}}
  ]
}

model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    model="@your-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
    model_info={"family": ModelFamily.GPT_45},
    default_headers=createHeaders(config=config)
)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="resilient_agent",
    model_client=model_client,
    system_message="You are a helpful assistant."
)
```

This configuration will automatically try Claude if the GPT-4o request fails, ensuring your agent can continue operating.

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Automatic Retries" icon="rotate" href="../../product/ai-gateway/automatic-retries">
    Handles temporary failures automatically. If an LLM call fails, Portkey will retry the same request for the specified number of times - perfect for rate limits or network blips.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Request Timeouts" icon="clock" href="../../product/ai-gateway/request-timeouts">
    Prevent your agents from hanging. Set timeouts to ensure you get responses (or can fail gracefully) within your required timeframes.

### 3. Prompting in Autogen Agents

Portkey's Prompt Engineering Studio helps you create, manage, and optimize the prompts used in your Autogen agents. Instead of hardcoding prompts or instructions, use Portkey's prompt rendering API to dynamically fetch and apply your versioned prompts.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Prompt Playground Interface" />
</Frame>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Prompt Playground">
    Prompt Playground is a place to compare, test and deploy perfect prompts for your AI application. It's where you experiment with different models, test variables, compare outputs, and refine your prompt engineering strategy before deploying to production. It allows you to:

    1. Iteratively develop prompts before using them in your agents
    2. Test prompts with different variables and models
    3. Compare outputs between different prompt versions
    4. Collaborate with team members on prompt development

    This visual environment makes it easier to craft effective prompts for each step in your Autogen agent's workflow.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Prompt Templates">
    The Prompt Render API retrieves your prompt templates with all parameters configured:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
    from autogen_agentchat.ui import Console
    from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
    from autogen_core.models import ModelFamily
    from portkey_ai import Portkey
    import asyncio

    # Initialize Portkey admin client to render prompts
    portkey_admin = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY")
    prompt_data = portkey_admin.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
        variables={"user_input": "Tell me about artificial intelligence"}
    )

    model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        model="@your-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
        model_info={"family": ModelFamily.GPT_45}
    )

    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="assistant",
        model_client=model_client,
        system_message=prompt_data.data.messages[0]["content"]
    )

    async def main():
        await Console(agent.run_stream(task="Tell me about artificial intelligence"))
        await model_client.close()

    asyncio.run(main())
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Prompt Versioning">
    You can:

    * Create multiple versions of the same prompt
    * Compare performance between versions
    * Roll back to previous versions if needed
    * Specify which version to use in your code:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Use a specific prompt version
    prompt_data = portkey_client.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID@version_number",
        variables={
            "user_input": "Tell me about quantum computing"
        }
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Mustache Templating for variables">
    Portkey prompts use Mustache-style templating for easy variable substitution:

    ```
    You are an AI assistant helping with {{task_type}}.

    User question: {{user_input}}

    Please respond in a {{tone}} tone and include {{required_elements}}.
    ```

### 4. Guardrails for Safe Autogen Agents

Guardrails ensure your Autogen agents operate safely and respond appropriately in all situations.

**Why Use Guardrails?**

Autogen agents can experience various failure modes:

* Generating harmful or inappropriate content
* Leaking sensitive information like PII
* Hallucinating incorrect information
* Generating outputs in incorrect formats

Portkey's guardrails protect against these issues by validating both inputs and outputs.

**Implementing Guardrails**

```python theme={"system"}
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
from autogen_core.models import ModelFamily
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# Create a config with input and output guardrails (recommend using Portkey App)
config = {
    "input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"],
    "output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx"]
}

model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    model="@your-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
    model_info={"family": ModelFamily.GPT_45},
    default_headers=createHeaders(config=config)
)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="safe_agent",
    model_client=model_client,
    system_message="You are a helpful assistant that provides safe responses."
)
```

Portkey's guardrails can:

* Detect and redact PII in both inputs and outputs
* Filter harmful or inappropriate content
* Validate response formats against schemas
* Check for hallucinations against ground truth
* Apply custom business logic and rules

### 5. User Tracking with Metadata

Track individual users through your Autogen agents using Portkey's metadata system.

**What is Metadata in Portkey?**

Metadata allows you to associate custom data with each request, enabling filtering, segmentation, and analytics. The special `_user` field is specifically designed for user tracking.

```python theme={"system"}
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
from autogen_core.models import ModelFamily
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    model="@your-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
    model_info={"family": ModelFamily.GPT_45},
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        metadata={
            "_user": "user_123",
            "user_name": "John Doe",
            "user_tier": "premium",
            "user_company": "Acme Corp"
        }
    )
)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="personalized_agent",
    model_client=model_client,
    system_message="You are a personalized assistant."
)
```

**Filter Analytics by User**

With metadata in place, you can filter analytics by user and analyze performance metrics on a per-user basis:

This enables:

* Per-user cost tracking and budgeting
* Personalized user analytics
* Team or organization-level metrics
* Environment-specific monitoring (staging vs. production)

  <Tab title="Simple Caching">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
    from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
    from autogen_core.models import ModelFamily
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    portkey_config = {"cache": {"mode": "simple"}}

    model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        model="@your-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
        model_info={"family": ModelFamily.GPT_45},
        default_headers=createHeaders(config=portkey_config)
    )

    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="cached_agent",
        model_client=model_client,
        system_message="You are a helpful assistant."
    )
    ```

## Set Up Enterprise Governance for Autogen agents

**Why Enterprise Governance?**
If you are using Autogen agents inside your organization, you need to consider several governance aspects:

* **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
* **Access Control**: Managing which teams can use specific models
* **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
* **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
* **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users

Portkey adds a comprehensive governance layer to address these enterprise needs. Let's implement these controls step by step.

**Enterprise Implementation Guide**

Portkey allows you to use 1600+ LLMs with your Autogen setup, with minimal configuration required. Let's set up the core components in Portkey that you'll need for integration.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Model Catalog enables you to have granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/model-catalog/integrations#3-budget-%26-rate-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new Provider for each engineering team with budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure department-specific limits

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. You can simply manage AI models in your org by provisioning model at the top integration level.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Set Routing Configuration">
    Portkey allows you to control your routing logic very simply with it's Configs feature. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with things like:

    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive code and data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks, load-balance, retry and smart conditional routing logic
    * **Caching**: Implement Simple and Semantic Caching. and more....

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to load-balance requests to OpenAI and Anthropic:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "strategy": {
    		"mode": "load-balance"
      },
      "targets": [
        {
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER-SLUG/MODEL_NAME"
    			}
        },
        {
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER-SLUG/MODEL_NAME"
    			}
        }
      ]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard. You'll need the config ID for connecting to your Autogen setup.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Implement Access Controls">
    ### Step 3: Implement Access Controls

    Create User-specific API keys that automatically:

    * Track usage per developer/team with the help of metadata
    * Apply appropriate configs to route requests
    * Collect relevant metadata to filter logs
    * Enforce access permissions

    Create API keys through:

    * [Portkey App](https://app.portkey.ai/)
    * [API Key Management API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key)

    Example using Python SDK:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY")

    api_key = portkey.api_keys.create(
        name="frontend-engineering",
        type="organisation",
        workspace_id="YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
        defaults={
            "config_id": "your-config-id",
            "metadata": {
                "environment": "development",
                "department": "engineering",
                "team": "frontend"
            }
        },
        scopes=["logs.view", "configs.read"]
    )
    ```

    For detailed key management instructions, see our [API Keys documentation](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key).

## Integrate Portkey with your custom Agents

This notebook demonstrates integrating a ReAct agent with Portkey

[<img alt="" />](https://dub.sh/ReAct-agent)

## Make your agents Production-ready with Portkey

Portkey makes your agents reliable, robust, and production-grade with its observability suite and AI Gateway. Seamlessly integrate 1600+ LLMs with your custom agents using Portkey. Implement fallbacks, gain granular insights into agent performance and costs, and continuously optimize your AI operations—all with just 2 lines of code.

Let's dive deep! Let's go through each of the use cases!

### 1. [Interoperability](/product/ai-gateway/universal-api)

Easily switch between 1600+ LLMs. Call various LLMs such as Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, and many more by simply changing the `provider ` and `API key` in the `ChatOpenAI` object.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="OpenAI to Azure OpenAI">
    If you are using OpenAI with CrewAI, your code would look like this:

    ```py theme={"system"}
    client = OpenAI(
        api_key="OPENAI_API_KEY",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="openai",
            api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        )
    )
    ```

    To switch to Azure as your provider, just create a new Azure integration ([here's how](/integrations/llms/azure-openai)) and use the Azure OpenAI provider.

    ```py theme={"system"}
    client = OpenAI(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="@AZURE_PROVIDER"
        )
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Anthropic to AWS Bedrock">
    If you are using Anthropic with CrewAI, your code would look like this:

    ```py theme={"system"}
    client = OpenAI(
        api_key="ANTROPIC_API_KEY",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="anthropic",
            api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        )
    )
    ```

    To switch to AWS Bedrock as your provider, just create a new AWS Bedrock integration ([here's how](/integrations/llms/aws-bedrock)) and use the AWS Bedrock provider.

    ```py theme={"system"}
    client = OpenAI(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="@AWS_PROVIDER"
        )
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. [Reliability](/product/ai-gateway)

Agents are *brittle*. Long agentic pipelines with multiple steps can fail at any stage, disrupting the entire process. Portkey solves this by offering built-in **fallbacks** between different LLMs or providers, **load-balancing** across multiple instances or API keys, and implementing automatic **retries** and request **timeouts**. This makes your agents more reliable and resilient.

Here's how you can implement these features using Portkey's config

```py theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 5
  },
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance" // Choose between "loadbalance" or "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "api_key": "OpenAI_API_Key"
    },
    {
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "api_key": "Anthropic_API_Key"
    }
  ]
}
```

### 3. [Metrics](/product/observability)

Agent runs can be costly. Tracking agent metrics is crucial for understanding the performance and reliability of your AI agents. Metrics help identify issues, optimize runs, and ensure that your agents meet their intended goals.

Portkey automatically logs comprehensive metrics for your AI agents, including **cost**, **tokens used**, **latency**, etc. Whether you need a broad overview or granular insights into your agent runs, Portkey's customizable filters provide the metrics you need. For agent-specific observability, add `Trace-id` to the request headers for each agent.

```py theme={"system"}
llm2 = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        provider="@anthropic",
        trace_id="research_agent1"
    )
)
```

### 4. [Logs](/product/observability/logs)

Agent runs are complex. Logs are essential for diagnosing issues, understanding agent behavior, and improving performance. They provide a detailed record of agent activities and tool use, which is crucial for debugging and optimizing processes.

Portkey offers comprehensive logging features that capture detailed information about every action and decision made by your AI agents. Access a dedicated section to view records of agent executions, including parameters, outcomes, function calls, and errors. Filter logs based on multiple parameters such as trace ID, model, tokens used, and metadata.

<Frame>
  <img alt="logs" />
</Frame>

### 5. [Continuous Improvement](/product/observability/feedback)

Improve your Agent runs by capturing qualitative & quantitative user feedback on your requests. Portkey's Feedback APIs provide a simple way to get weighted feedback from customers on any request you served, at any stage in your app. You can capture this feedback on a request or conversation level and analyze it by adding meta data to the relevant request.

### 6. [Caching](/product/ai-gateway/cache-simple-and-semantic)

Agent runs are time-consuming and expensive due to their complex pipelines. Caching can significantly reduce these costs by storing frequently used data and responses. Portkey offers a built-in caching system that stores past responses, reducing the need for agent calls saving both time and money.

```py theme={"system"}
{
 "cache": {
    "mode": "semantic" // Choose between "simple" or "semantic"
 }
}
```

### 7.[ Security & Compliance](/product/enterprise-offering/security-portkey)

Set budget limits on provider API keys and implement fine-grained user roles and permissions for both the app and the Portkey APIs.

llm2 = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        provider="@anthropic",
        trace_id="research_agent1"
    )

)
```

### 4. [Logs](/product/observability/logs)

Agent runs are complex. Logs are essential for diagnosing issues, understanding agent behavior, and improving performance. They provide a detailed record of agent activities and tool use, which is crucial for debugging and optimizing processes.

Portkey offers comprehensive logging features that capture detailed information about every action and decision made by your AI agents. Access a dedicated section to view records of agent executions, including parameters, outcomes, function calls, and errors. Filter logs based on multiple parameters such as trace ID, model, tokens used, and metadata.

### 5. [Continuous Improvement](/product/observability/feedback)

Improve your Agent runs by capturing qualitative & quantitative user feedback on your requests. Portkey's Feedback APIs provide a simple way to get weighted feedback from customers on any request you served, at any stage in your app. You can capture this feedback on a request or conversation level and analyze it by adding meta data to the relevant request.

### 6. [Caching](/product/ai-gateway/cache-simple-and-semantic)

Agent runs are time-consuming and expensive due to their complex pipelines. Caching can significantly reduce these costs by storing frequently used data and responses. Portkey offers a built-in caching system that stores past responses, reducing the need for agent calls saving both time and money.

```py theme={"system"}
{
 "cache": {
    "mode": "semantic" // Choose between "simple" or "semantic"
 }
}
```

### 7. [Security & Compliance](/product/enterprise-offering/security-portkey)

Set budget limits on provider API keys and implement fine-grained user roles and permissions for both the app and the Portkey APIs.

        api_key="dummy",
        extra_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider="@YOUR_LLM_PROVIDER",
            trace_id="unique-trace-id",               # Optional, for request tracing
        )
    )

    #Use them in your Crew Agents like this:

    	@agent
    	def lead_market_analyst(self) -> Agent:
    		return Agent(
    			config=self.agents_config['lead_market_analyst'],
    			verbose=True,
    			memory=False,
    			llm=gpt_llm
    		)

    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Production Features

### 1. Enhanced Observability

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Traces">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Traces provide a hierarchical view of your crew's execution, showing the sequence of LLM calls, tool invocations, and state transitions.

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Add trace_id to enable hierarchical tracing in Portkey
    portkey_llm = LLM(
        model="gpt-4o",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key="dummy",
        extra_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
            trace_id="unique-session-id"  # Add unique trace ID
        )
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Logs">

        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key="dummy",
        extra_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
            metadata={
                "crew_type": "research_crew",
                "environment": "production",
                "_user": "user_123",   # Special _user field for user analytics
                "request_source": "mobile_app"
            }
        )
    )
    ```

    This metadata can be used to filter logs, traces, and metrics on the Portkey dashboard, allowing you to analyze specific crew runs, users, or environments.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Reliability - Keep Your Crews Running Smoothly

When running crews in production, things can go wrong - API rate limits, network issues, or provider outages. Portkey's reliability features ensure your agents keep running smoothly even when problems occur.

It's simple to enable fallback in your CrewAI setup by using a Portkey Config:

```python theme={"system"}
from crewai import LLM
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

# Create LLM with fallback configuration
portkey_llm = LLM(
    model="gpt-4o",
    max_tokens=1000,
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key="dummy",
    extra_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config={
            "strategy": {
                "mode": "fallback"
            },
            "targets": [
                {
                    "provider": "openai",
                    "api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY",
                    "override_params": {"model": "gpt-4o"}
                },
                {
                    "provider": "anthropic",
                    "api_key": "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY",
                    "override_params": {"model": "claude-3-opus-20240229"}
                }
            ]
        }
    )
)

# Use this LLM configuration with your agents

    1. Iteratively develop prompts before using them in your agents
    2. Test prompts with different variables and models
    3. Compare outputs between different prompt versions
    4. Collaborate with team members on prompt development

    This visual environment makes it easier to craft effective prompts for each step in your CrewAI agents' workflow.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Prompt Templates">
    The Prompt Render API retrieves your prompt templates with all parameters configured:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from crewai import Agent, LLM
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, Portkey

    # Initialize Portkey admin client
    portkey_admin = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY")

    # Retrieve prompt using the render API
    prompt_data = portkey_client.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
        variables={
            "agent_role": "Senior Research Scientist",
        }
    )

    backstory_agent_prompt=prompt_data.data.messages[0]["content"]


    # Set up LLM with Portkey integration
    portkey_llm = LLM(
        model="gpt-4o",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key="dummy",
        extra_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
        )
    )

    # Create agent using the rendered prompt
    researcher = Agent(
        role="Senior Research Scientist",
        goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
        backstory=backstory_agent,  # Use the rendered prompt
        verbose=True,
        llm=portkey_llm
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Prompt Versioning">
    You can:

    * Create multiple versions of the same prompt
    * Compare performance between versions
    * Roll back to previous versions if needed
    * Specify which version to use in your code:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Use a specific prompt version
    prompt_data = portkey_admin.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID@version_number",
        variables={
            "agent_role": "Senior Research Scientist",
            "agent_goal": "Discover groundbreaking insights"
        }
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Mustache Templating for variables">
    Portkey prompts use Mustache-style templating for easy variable substitution:

    ```
    You are a {{agent_role}} with expertise in {{domain}}.

    Your mission is to {{agent_goal}} by leveraging your knowledge
    and experience in the field.

    Always maintain a {{tone}} tone and focus on providing {{focus_area}}.
    ```

    When rendering, simply pass the variables:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    prompt_data = portkey_admin.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",

### 4. Guardrails for Safe Crews

Guardrails ensure your CrewAI agents operate safely and respond appropriately in all situations.

**Why Use Guardrails?**

CrewAI agents can experience various failure modes:

* Generating harmful or inappropriate content
* Leaking sensitive information like PII
* Hallucinating incorrect information
* Generating outputs in incorrect formats

Portkey's guardrails add protections for both inputs and outputs.

**Implementing Guardrails**

```python theme={"system"}
from crewai import Agent, LLM
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

# Create LLM with guardrails
portkey_llm = LLM(
    model="gpt-4o",
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key="dummy",
    extra_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
        config={
            "input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"],
            "output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-zzz"]
        }
    )
)

# Create agent with guardrailed LLM
researcher = Agent(
    role="Senior Research Scientist",
    goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
    backstory="You are an expert researcher with deep domain knowledge.",
    verbose=True,
    llm=portkey_llm
)
```

Portkey's guardrails can:

* Detect and redact PII in both inputs and outputs
* Filter harmful or inappropriate content
* Validate response formats against schemas
* Check for hallucinations against ground truth
* Apply custom business logic and rules

### 5. User Tracking with Metadata

Track individual users through your CrewAI agents using Portkey's metadata system.

**What is Metadata in Portkey?**

Metadata allows you to associate custom data with each request, enabling filtering, segmentation, and analytics. The special `_user` field is specifically designed for user tracking.

```python theme={"system"}
from crewai import Agent, LLM
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

# Configure LLM with user tracking
portkey_llm = LLM(
    model="gpt-4o",
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key="dummy",
    extra_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
        metadata={
            "_user": "user_123",  # Special _user field for user analytics
            "user_tier": "premium",
            "user_company": "Acme Corp",
            "session_id": "abc-123"
        }
    )
)

# Create agent with tracked LLM
researcher = Agent(
    role="Senior Research Scientist",
    goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
    backstory="You are an expert researcher with deep domain knowledge.",
    verbose=True,
    llm=portkey_llm
)
```

**Filter Analytics by User**

With metadata in place, you can filter analytics by user and analyze performance metrics on a per-user basis:

<Frame>
  <img />

This enables:

* Per-user cost tracking and budgeting
* Personalized user analytics
* Team or organization-level metrics
* Environment-specific monitoring (staging vs. production)

### 6. Caching for Efficient Crews

Implement caching to make your CrewAI agents more efficient and cost-effective:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Simple Caching">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from crewai import Agent, LLM
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

    # Configure LLM with simple caching
    portkey_llm = LLM(
        model="gpt-4o",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key="dummy",
        extra_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
            config={
                "cache": {
                    "mode": "simple"
                }
            }
        )
    )

    # Create agent with cached LLM
    researcher = Agent(
        role="Senior Research Scientist",
        goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
        backstory="You are an expert researcher with deep domain knowledge.",
        verbose=True,
        llm=portkey_llm
    )
    ```

    Simple caching performs exact matches on input prompts, caching identical requests to avoid redundant model executions.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Semantic Caching">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from crewai import Agent, LLM
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

    # Configure LLM with semantic caching
    portkey_llm = LLM(
        model="gpt-4o",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key="dummy",
        extra_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
            config={
                "cache": {
                    "mode": "semantic"
                }
            }
        )
    )

    # Create agent with semantically cached LLM
    researcher = Agent(
        role="Senior Research Scientist",
        goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
        backstory="You are an expert researcher with deep domain knowledge.",
        verbose=True,
        llm=portkey_llm
    )
    ```

    Semantic caching considers the contextual similarity between input requests, caching responses for semantically similar inputs.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 7. Model Interoperability

CrewAI supports multiple LLM providers, and Portkey extends this capability by providing access to over 200 LLMs through a unified interface. You can easily switch between different models without changing your core agent logic:

```python theme={"system"}
from crewai import Agent, LLM
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

# Set up LLMs with different providers
openai_llm = LLM(
    model="gpt-4o",
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key="dummy",
    extra_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
    )
)

anthropic_llm = LLM(
    model="claude-3-5-sonnet-latest",
    max_tokens=1000,
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key="dummy",
    extra_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER"
    )
)

# Choose which LLM to use for each agent based on your needs
researcher = Agent(
    role="Senior Research Scientist",
    goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
    backstory="You are an expert researcher with deep domain knowledge.",
    verbose=True,
    llm=openai_llm  # Use anthropic_llm for Anthropic
)
```

Portkey provides access to LLMs from providers including:

* OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, etc.)
* Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, etc.)
* Mistral AI (Mistral Large, Mistral Medium, etc.)
* Google Vertex AI (Gemini 1.5 Pro, etc.)
* Cohere (Command, Command-R, etc.)
* AWS Bedrock (Claude, Titan, etc.)
* Local/Private Models

  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Enable granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Integrations](https://app.portkey.ai/integrations) in Portkey dashboard and create a new LLM integration
    2. Provision this integration for each department with budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure department-specific limits
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with features like:

    #### Access Control Features:

    * **Model Restrictions**: Limit access to specific models
    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks and retry logic

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to route requests to OpenAI, specifically using GPT-4o:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
    	"strategy": {
    		"mode": "single"
    	},
    	"targets": [
    		{
    			"provider":"@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "gpt-4o"
    			}
    		}
    	]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

# Langchain Agents
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/agents/langchain-agents



## Getting Started

### 1. Install the required packages:

```sh theme={"system"}
pip install -qU langchain langchain-openai portkey-ai
```

### 2. Configure your Langchain LLM objects:

```py theme={"system"}
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI, createHeaders
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

llm1 = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="OpenAI_API_Key",
     base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
    provider="openai",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
    )
)
```

That's all you need to do to use Portkey with Llama Index agents. Execute your agents and visit [Portkey.ai](https://portkey.ai) to observe your Agent's activity.

## Integration Guide

Here's a simple Google Colab notebook that demonstrates Llama Index with Portkey integration

[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1ab%5FXnSf-HR1KndEGBgXDW6RvONKoHdzL?usp=sharing)

## Make your agents Production-ready with Portkey

Portkey makes your Llama Index agents reliable, robust, and production-grade with its observability suite and AI Gateway. Seamlessly integrate 1600+ LLMs with your Llama Index agents using Portkey. Implement fallbacks, gain granular insights into agent performance and costs, and continuously optimize your AI operations—all with just 2 lines of code.

Let's dive deep! Let's go through each of the use cases!

### 1. [Interoperability](/product/ai-gateway/universal-api)

Easily switch between 1600+ LLMs. Call various LLMs such as Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, and many more by simply changing the `provider` and `API key` in the `ChatOpenAI` object.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="OpenAI to Azure OpenAI">
    If you are using OpenAI with CrewAI, your code would look like this:

    ```py theme={"system"}
    llm = ChatOpenAI(
        api_key="OpenAI_API_Key",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="openai", #choose your provider
            api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
        )
    )
    ```

    To switch to Azure as your provider, add your Azure details to Portley and create an integration ([here's how](/integrations/llms/azure-openai)).

    ```py theme={"system"}
    llm = ChatOpenAI(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="@AZURE_PROVIDER"
        )
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Anthropic to AWS Bedrock">
    If you are using Anthropic with CrewAI, your code would look like this:

    ```py theme={"system"}
    llm = ChatOpenAI(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="@anthropic"
        )
    )
    ```

    To switch to AWS Bedrock as your provider, add your AWS Bedrock details to Portley and create an integration ([here's how](/integrations/llms/aws-bedrock)).

    ```py theme={"system"}
    llm = ChatOpenAI(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="@AWS_Bedrock_PROVIDER"
        )
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. [Reliability](/product/ai-gateway)

Agents are *brittle*. Long agentic pipelines with multiple steps can fail at any stage, disrupting the entire process. Portkey solves this by offering built-in **fallbacks** between different LLMs or providers, **load-balancing** across multiple instances or API keys, and implementing automatic **retries** and request **timeouts**. This makes your agents more reliable and resilient.

Here's how you can implement these features using Portkey's config

```py theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 5
  },
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance" // Choose between "loadbalance" or "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "api_key": "OpenAI_API_Key"
    },
    {
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "api_key": "Anthropic_API_Key"
    }
  ]
}
```

### 3. [Metrics](/product/observability)

Agent runs can be costly. Tracking agent metrics is crucial for understanding the performance and reliability of your AI agents. Metrics help identify issues, optimize runs, and ensure that your agents meet their intended goals.

Portkey automatically logs comprehensive metrics for your AI agents, including **cost**, **tokens used**, **latency**, etc. Whether you need a broad overview or granular insights into your agent runs, Portkey's customizable filters provide the metrics you need. For agent-specific observability, add `Trace-id` to the request headers for each agent.

```py theme={"system"}
llm2 = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        provider="@anthropic",
        trace_id="research_agent1" #Add individual trace-id for your agent analytics
    )
)
```

### 4. [Logs](/product/observability/logs)

Agent runs are complex. Logs are essential for diagnosing issues, understanding agent behavior, and improving performance. They provide a detailed record of agent activities and tool use, which is crucial for debugging and optimizing processes.

Portkey offers comprehensive logging features that capture detailed information about every action and decision made by your AI agents. Access a dedicated section to view records of agent executions, including parameters, outcomes, function calls, and errors. Filter logs based on multiple parameters such as trace ID, model, tokens used, and metadata.

### 5. [Traces](/product/observability/traces)

With traces, you can see each agent run granularly on Portkey. Tracing your Langchain agent runs helps in debugging, performance optimzation, and visualizing how exactly your agents are running.

### Using Traces in Langchain Agents

#### Step 1: Import & Initialize the Portkey Langchain Callback Handler

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai.langchain import LangchainCallbackHandler

portkey_handler = LangchainCallbackHandler(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    metadata={
        "session_id": "session_1",  # Use consistent metadata across your application
        "agent_id": "research_agent_1",  # Specific to the current agent
    }
)

```

#### Step 2: Configure Your LLM with the Portkey Callback

```py theme={"system"}
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI

llm = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY_HERE",
    callbacks=[portkey_handler],
    # ... other parameters
)
```

With Portkey tracing, you can encapsulate the complete execution of your agent workflow.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### 6. Guardrails

LLMs are brittle - not just in API uptimes or their inexplicable `400`/`500` errors, but also in their core behavior. You can get a response with a `200` status code that completely errors out for your app's pipeline due to mismatched output. With Portkey's Guardrails, we now help you enforce LLM behavior in real-time with our *Guardrails on the Gateway* pattern.

Using Portkey's Guardrail platform, you can now verify your LLM inputs AND outputs to be adhering to your specifed checks; and since Guardrails are built on top of our [Gateway](https://github.com/portkey-ai/gateway), you can orchestrate your request exactly the way you want - with actions ranging from *denying the request*, *logging the guardrail result*, *creating an evals dataset*, *falling back to another LLM or prompt*, *retrying the request*, and more.

### 7. [Continuous Improvement](/product/observability/feedback)

Improve your Agent runs by capturing qualitative & quantitative user feedback on your requests. Portkey's Feedback APIs provide a simple way to get weighted feedback from customers on any request you served, at any stage in your app. You can capture this feedback on a request or conversation level and analyze it by adding meta data to the relevant request.

### 8. [Caching](/product/ai-gateway/cache-simple-and-semantic)

Agent runs are time-consuming and expensive due to their complex pipelines. Caching can significantly reduce these costs by storing frequently used data and responses. Portkey offers a built-in caching system that stores past responses, reducing the need for agent calls saving both time and money.

```json theme={"system"}
{
 "cache": {
    "mode": "semantic" // Choose between "simple" or "semantic"
 }
}
```

### 9. [Security & Compliance](/product/enterprise-offering/security-portkey)

Set budget limits on provider API keys and implement fine-grained user roles and permissions for both the app and the Portkey APIs.

***

## [Portkey Config](/product/ai-gateway/configs)

Many of these features are driven by Portkey's Config architecture. The Portkey app simplifies creating, managing, and versioning your Configs.

For more information on using these features and setting up your Config, please refer to the [Portkey documentation](https://docs.portkey.ai).

                "app_env": "production",
                "_user": "user_123"                   # Optional Special _user field for user analytics
            }
        )
    )
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Basic Agent Implementation

Let's create a simple LangGraph chatbot using Portkey. This example shows how to set up a basic conversational agent:

```python theme={"system"}
from typing import Annotated
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from typing_extensions import TypedDict
from portkey_ai import createHeaders
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
from langgraph.graph.message import add_messages

# Define state structure with message history
class State(TypedDict):
    messages: Annotated[list, add_messages]

# Initialize graph builder
graph_builder = StateGraph(State)

# Set up LLM with Portkey
llm = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="dummy",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_PROVIDER",
        trace_id="chat-session-123"  # Optional
    )
)

# Define chatbot node function
def chatbot(state: State):
    return {"messages": [llm.invoke(state["messages"])]}

# Add node to graph and set entry/exit points
graph_builder.add_node("chatbot", chatbot)
graph_builder.set_entry_point("chatbot")
graph_builder.set_finish_point("chatbot")
graph = graph_builder.compile()

# Function to handle streaming updates
def stream_graph_updates(user_input: str):
    for event in graph.stream({"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": user_input}]}):
        for value in event.values():
            print("Assistant:", value["messages"][-1].content)

# Interactive chat loop
while True:
    try:
        user_input = input("User: ")
        if user_input.lower() in ["quit", "exit", "q"]:
            print("Goodbye!")
            break
        stream_graph_updates(user_input)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
        break
```

This basic implementation:

1. Creates a state graph with a message history
2. Configures a ChatOpenAI model with Portkey
3. Defines a simple chatbot node that processes messages with the LLM
4. Compiles the graph and provides a streaming interface for chat

## Advanced Features

### 1. Adding Tools to Your Agent

LangGraph can be enhanced with tools to allow your agent to perform actions. Here's how to add the Tavily search tool:

```python [expandable] theme={"system"}
from langgraph.prebuilt import ToolNode, tools_condition
from typing import Annotated
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from typing_extensions import TypedDict
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
from langgraph.graph.message import add_messages
from portkey_ai import createHeaders
from langchain_community.tools.tavily_search import TavilySearchResults

class State(TypedDict):
    messages: Annotated[list, add_messages]

graph_builder = StateGraph(State)

# Initialize the Tavily search tool
# Note: Requires TAVILY_API_KEY environment variable or passed as argument
tool = TavilySearchResults(max_results=2)
tools = [tool]

# Set up LLM with Portkey
llm = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="dummy",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_PROVIDER",
        trace_id="search-agent-session"  # Optional
    )
)
# Bind tools to the LLM
llm_with_tools = llm.bind_tools(tools)

def chatbot(state: State):
    return {"messages": [llm_with_tools.invoke(state["messages"])]}

graph_builder.add_node("chatbot", chatbot)

# Add tool node to handle tool execution
tool_node = ToolNode(tools=[tool])
graph_builder.add_node("tools", tool_node)

# Add conditional routing based on tool usage
graph_builder.add_conditional_edges(
    "chatbot",
    tools_condition,
)
# Return to chatbot after tool execution
graph_builder.add_edge("tools", "chatbot")
graph_builder.set_entry_point("chatbot")
graph = graph_builder.compile()
```

<Info>
  This example requires a Tavily API key for the search functionality. You can sign up for one at [Tavily's website](https://tavily.com/).
</Info>

### 2. Creating Custom Tools

You can create custom tools for your agents using the `@tool` decorator. Here's how to create a simple multiplication tool:

```python [expandable] theme={"system"}
from langchain_core.tools import tool
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from langgraph.prebuilt import ToolNode, tools_condition
from typing import Annotated
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from typing_extensions import TypedDict
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
from langgraph.graph.message import add_messages
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

class State(TypedDict):
    messages: Annotated[list, add_messages]

# Define input schema for the tool
class MultiplyInputSchema(BaseModel):
    """Multiply two numbers"""
    a: int = Field(description="First operand")
    b: int = Field(description="Second operand")

# Create the tool
@tool("multiply_tool", args_schema=MultiplyInputSchema)
def multiply(a: int, b: int) -> int:
   return a * b

graph_builder = StateGraph(State)

tools = [multiply]

# Set up LLM with Portkey
llm = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="dummy",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_PROVIDER",
    )
)
llm_with_tools = llm.bind_tools(tools)

def chatbot(state: State):
    return {"messages": [llm_with_tools.invoke(state["messages"])]}

graph_builder.add_node("chatbot", chatbot)
tool_node = ToolNode(tools=tools)
graph_builder.add_node("tools", tool_node)

graph_builder.add_conditional_edges(
    "chatbot",
    tools_condition,
)
graph_builder.add_edge("tools", "chatbot")
graph_builder.set_entry_point("chatbot")
graph = graph_builder.compile()
```

This example:

1. Defines a Pydantic model for the tool's input schema
2. Creates a custom multiplication tool with the `@tool` decorator
3. Integrates it into LangGraph with a tool node

### 3. Adding Memory to Your Agent

For persistent conversations, you can add memory to your LangGraph agents:

```python [expandable] theme={"system"}
from typing import Annotated
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_community.tools.tavily_search import TavilySearchResults
from typing_extensions import TypedDict
from portkey_ai import createHeaders
from langgraph.prebuilt import ToolNode, tools_condition
from langgraph.checkpoint.memory import MemorySaver
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
from langgraph.graph.message import add_messages

class State(TypedDict):
    messages: Annotated[list, add_messages]

graph_builder = StateGraph(State)

# Set up tools and LLM with Portkey
tool = TavilySearchResults(max_results=2)
tools = [tool]
llm = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="dummy",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_PROVIDER",
        trace_id="memory-agent-session"  # Optional
    )
)
llm_with_tools = llm.bind_tools(tools)

def chatbot(state: State):
    return {"messages": [llm_with_tools.invoke(state["messages"])]}

graph_builder.add_node("chatbot", chatbot)

      <img />
    </Frame>

    Traces provide a hierarchical view of your agent's execution, showing the sequence of LLM calls, tool invocations, and state transitions.

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Add trace_id to enable hierarchical tracing in Portkey
    llm = ChatOpenAI(
        api_key="dummy",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider="@YOUR_LLM_PROVIDER",
            trace_id="unique-session-id",  # Add unique trace ID
            metadata={"request_type": "user_query"}
        )
    )
    ```

    LangGraph also offers its own tracing via LangSmith, which can be used alongside Portkey for even more detailed workflow insights.

  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Reliability - Keep Your Agents Running Smoothly

When running agents in production, things can go wrong - API rate limits, network issues, or provider outages. Portkey's reliability features ensure your agents keep running smoothly even when problems occur.

Enable fallback in your LangGraph agents by using a Portkey Config:

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# Create LLM with fallback configuration
llm = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="dummy",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config={
            "strategy": {
                "mode": "fallback"
            },
            "targets": [
                {
                    "provider":"@YOUR_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_API_KEY",
                    "override_params": {"model": "gpt-4o"}
                },
                {
                    "provider":"@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_VIRTUAL_API_KEY",
                    "override_params": {"model": "claude-3-opus-20240229"}
                }
            ]
        }
    )
)
```

This configuration will automatically try Claude if the GPT-4o request fails, ensuring your agent can continue operating.

### 3. Prompting in LangGraph

Portkey's Prompt Engineering Studio helps you create, manage, and optimize the prompts used in your LangGraph agents. Instead of hardcoding prompts or instructions, use Portkey's prompt rendering API to dynamically fetch and apply your versioned prompts.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Prompt Playground Interface" />
</Frame>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Prompt Playground">
    Prompt Playground is a place to compare, test and deploy perfect prompts for your AI application. It's where you experiment with different models, test variables, compare outputs, and refine your prompt engineering strategy before deploying to production. It allows you to:

    1. Iteratively develop prompts before using them in your agents
    2. Test prompts with different variables and models
    3. Compare outputs between different prompt versions
    4. Collaborate with team members on prompt development

    This visual environment makes it easier to craft effective prompts for each step in your LangGraph agent's workflow.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Prompt Templates">
    The Prompt Render API retrieves your prompt templates with all parameters configured:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey
    from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    # Initialize Portkey clients
    portkey_admin = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY")

    # Retrieve prompt using the render API
    prompt_data = portkey_admin.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
        variables={
            "user_input": "Tell me about artificial intelligence"
        }
    ).data.dict()

    # Set up LLM with rendered system prompt
    llm = ChatOpenAI(
        api_key="dummy",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
        )
    )

    # Define chatbot node with the rendered system prompt
    def chatbot(state):
        messages = state["messages"]
        # Add the system prompt from Portkey to the beginning of the conversation
        all_messages = [
            {"role": "system", "content": prompt_data["messages"][0]["content"]},
            *messages
        ]
        return {"messages": [llm.invoke(all_messages)]}
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Prompt Versioning">
    You can:

    * Create multiple versions of the same prompt
    * Compare performance between versions
    * Roll back to previous versions if needed
    * Specify which version to use in your code:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Use a specific prompt version
    prompt_data = portkey_admin.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID@version_number",
        variables={
            "user_input": "Tell me about quantum computing"
        }
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Mustache Templating for variables">
    Portkey prompts use Mustache-style templating for easy variable substitution:

    ```
    You are an AI assistant specialized in {{agent_role}}.

    User question: {{user_input}}

    Please respond in a {{tone}} tone and include {{required_elements}}.
    ```

    When rendering, simply pass the variables:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    prompt_data = portkey_admin.prompts.render(

### 4. Guardrails for Safe Agents

Guardrails ensure your LangGraph agents operate safely and respond appropriately in all situations.

**Why Use Guardrails?**

LangGraph agents can experience various failure modes:

* Generating harmful or inappropriate content
* Leaking sensitive information like PII
* Hallucinating incorrect information
* Generating outputs in incorrect formats

Portkey's guardrails add protection for both inputs and outputs.

**Implementing Guardrails**

```python theme={"system"}
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# Create LLM with guardrails
llm = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="dummy",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
        config={
            "input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"],
            "output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-zzz"]
        }
    )
)
```

Portkey's guardrails can:

* Detect and redact PII in both inputs and outputs
* Filter harmful or inappropriate content
* Validate response formats against schemas
* Check for hallucinations against ground truth
* Apply custom business logic and rules

</Card>

### 5. User Tracking with Metadata

Track individual users through your LangGraph agents using Portkey's metadata system.

**What is Metadata in Portkey?**

Metadata allows you to associate custom data with each request, enabling filtering, segmentation, and analytics. The special `_user` field is specifically designed for user tracking.

```python theme={"system"}
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# Configure LLM with user tracking
llm = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="dummy",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
        metadata={
            "_user": "user_123",  # Special _user field for user analytics
            "user_tier": "premium",
            "user_company": "Acme Corp",
            "session_id": "abc-123",
            "graph_id": "search_workflow"
        }
    )
)
```

**Filter Analytics by User**

With metadata in place, you can filter analytics by user and analyze performance metrics on a per-user basis:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

This enables:

* Per-user cost tracking and budgeting
* Personalized user analytics
* Team or organization-level metrics
* Environment-specific monitoring (staging vs. production)

### 6. Caching for Efficient Agents

Implement caching to make your LangGraph agents more efficient and cost-effective:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Simple Caching">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    # Configure LLM with simple caching
    llm = ChatOpenAI(
        api_key="dummy",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
            config={
                "cache": {
                    "mode": "simple"
                }
            }
        )
    )
    ```

    Simple caching performs exact matches on input prompts, caching identical requests to avoid redundant model executions.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Semantic Caching">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    # Configure LLM with semantic caching
    llm = ChatOpenAI(
        api_key="dummy",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
            config={
                "cache": {
                    "mode": "semantic"
                }
            }
        )
    )
    ```

    Semantic caching considers the contextual similarity between input requests, caching responses for semantically similar inputs.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 7. Model Interoperability

LangGraph works with multiple LLM providers, and Portkey extends this capability by providing access to over 200 LLMs through a unified interface. You can easily switch between different models without changing your core agent logic:

```python theme={"system"}
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# OpenAI configuration
openai_llm = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="dummy",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
    )
)

# Anthropic configuration
anthropic_llm = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="dummy",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER"
    )
)

# Choose which LLM to use based on your needs
active_llm = openai_llm  # or anthropic_llm

# Use in your LangGraph nodes
def chatbot(state):
    return {"messages": [active_llm.invoke(state["messages"])]}
```

Portkey provides access to LLMs from providers including:

* OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, etc.)
* Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, etc.)
* Mistral AI (Mistral Large, Mistral Medium, etc.)
* Google Vertex AI (Gemini 1.5 Pro, etc.)
* Cohere (Command, Command-R, etc.)
* AWS Bedrock (Claude, Titan, etc.)
* Local/Private Models

## Set Up Enterprise Governance for LangGraph

**Why Enterprise Governance?**
If you are using LangGraph inside your organization, you need to consider several governance aspects:

* **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
* **Access Control**: Managing which teams can use specific models
* **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
* **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
* **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users

Portkey adds a comprehensive governance layer to address these enterprise needs. Let's implement these controls step by step.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Integration">
    To create a new LLM integration:
    Go to [Integrations](https://app.portkey.ai/integrations) in the Portkey App. Set budget / rate limits, model access if required and save the integration.

    This creates a "Portkey Provider" that you can then use in any of your Portkey requests without having to send auth details for that LLM provider again.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Config">
    Configs in Portkey define how your requests are routed, with features like advanced routing, fallbacks, and retries.

    To create your config:

    1. Go to [Configs](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new config with:
       ```json theme={"system"}
       {
           "provider":"@YOUR_PROVIDER_FROM_STEP1",
          	"override_params": {
             "model": "gpt-4o" // Your preferred model name
           }
       }
       ```
    3. Save and note the Config name for the next step

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Portkey API Key">
    Now create a Portkey API key and attach the config you created in Step 2:

    1. Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) in Portkey and Create new API key
    2. Select your config from `Step 2`
    3. Generate and save your API key

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect to LangGraph">
    After setting up your Portkey API key with the attached config, connect it to your LangGraph agents:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    # Configure LLM with your Portkey API key
    llm = ChatOpenAI(
        api_key="dummy",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"  # The API key with attached config from step 3
        )
    )
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Integrations enable granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/model-catalog/integrations#3-budget-%26-rate-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Integrations](https://app.portkey.ai/integrations) in Portkey dashboard and create a new Integration.
    2. Provision this Integration for each department with their budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure model access if required.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with features like:

    #### Access Control Features:

    * **Model Restrictions**: Limit access to specific models
    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks and retry logic

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to route requests to OpenAI, specifically using GPT-4o:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
    	"strategy": {
    		"mode": "single"
    	},
    	"targets": [
    		{
    			"provider":"@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "gpt-4o"
    			}
    		}
    	]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 3: Implement Access Controls">
    ### Step 3: Implement Access Controls

    Create User-specific API keys that automatically:

    * Track usage per user/team with the help of metadata
    * Apply appropriate configs to route requests
    * Collect relevant metadata to filter logs
    * Enforce access permissions

    Create API keys through:

    * [Portkey App](https://app.portkey.ai/)
    * [API Key Management API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key)

    Example using Python SDK:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY")

    api_key = portkey.api_keys.create(
        name="engineering-team",
        type="organisation",
        workspace_id="YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
        defaults={
            "config_id": "your-config-id",
            "metadata": {
                "environment": "production",
                "department": "engineering"
            }
        },
        scopes=["logs.view", "configs.read"]
    )
    ```

    For detailed key management instructions, see our [API Keys documentation](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key).

</Note>

# 1. Setting up Portkey

Portkey allows you to use 250+ LLMs with your LiveKit agents, with minimal configuration required. Let's set up the core components in Portkey that you'll need for integration.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your LLM`">
    To create a new integration:

    1. Go to [Integrations](https://app.portkey.ai/integrations) in the Portkey App
    2. Click "Add Integration" and select OpenAI
    3. Provision workspaces and budget/rate limits if required

    When you create a new integration, Portkey creates a unique provider slug for the integration that you can then use in your requests.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Default Config">
    Configs in Portkey define how your requests are routed and can enable features like fallbacks, caching, and more.

    To create your config:

    1. Go to [Configs](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new config with:
       ```json theme={"system"}
       {
           "provider":"@YOUR_PROVIDER_FROM_STEP1"
       }
       ```
    3. Save and note the Config ID for the next step

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      This basic config connects to your integration. You can add advanced features like caching, fallbacks, and guardrails later.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Portkey API Key">
    Now create a Portkey API key and attach the config you created:

    1. Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) in Portkey
    2. Create new API key
    3. Select your config from Step 2
    4. Generate and save your API key

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      Save your API key securely - you'll need it for LiveKit integration.
    </Note>
  </Step>
</Steps>

# 2. Integrate Portkey with LiveKit

Now that you have your Portkey components set up, let's integrate them with LiveKit agents.

## Installation

Install the required packages:

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install \
  "livekit-agents[openai]~=1.0"
```

## Configuration

```python theme={"system"}
llm=openai.LLM(model="gpt-4o", # your preferred model
               api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY", # you can also set OPENAI_API_KEY=<Your Portkey API key> in .env
               base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1", # Portkey Base Url
               ),
```

# 3. Set Up Enterprise Governance for Livekit

**Why Enterprise Governance?**
If you are using Livekit inside your orgnaization, you need to consider several governance aspects:

* **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
* **Access Control**: Managing which teams can use specific models
* **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
* **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
* **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users

Portkey adds a comprehensive governance layer to address these enterprise needs. Let's implement these controls step by step.

**Enterprise Implementation Guide**

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Integrations enable granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/model-catalog/integrations#3-budget-%26-rate-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Integrations](https://app.portkey.ai/integrations) in Portkey dashboard and create a new Integration
    2. Provision the integration to relevant workspaces with their own budgets
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with features like:

    #### Access Control Features:

    * **Model Restrictions**: Limit access to specific models
    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks and retry logic

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to route requests to OpenAI, specifically using GPT-4o:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "override_params": { "model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o" }
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard. You'll need the config ID for connecting to Livekit's setup.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 3: Implement Access Controls">
    ### Step 3: Implement Access Controls

    Create User-specific API keys that automatically:

    * Track usage per user/team with the help of metadata
    * Apply appropriate configs to route requests
    * Collect relevant metadata to filter logs
    * Enforce access permissions

    Create API keys through:

    * [Portkey App](https://app.portkey.ai/)
    * [API Key Management API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key)

    Example using Python SDK:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY")

    api_key = portkey.api_keys.create(
        name="engineering-team",
        type="organisation",
        workspace_id="YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
        defaults={
            "config_id": "your-config-id",
            "metadata": {
                "environment": "production",
                "department": "engineering"
            }
        },
        scopes=["logs.view", "configs.read"]
    )
    ```

    For detailed key management instructions, see our [API Keys documentation](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Deploy & Monitor">
    ### Step 4: Deploy & Monitor

    After distributing API keys to your team members, your enterprise-ready Livekit setup is ready to go. Each team member can now use their designated API keys with appropriate access levels and budget controls.
    Apply your governance setup using the integration steps from earlier sections
    Monitor usage in Portkey dashboard:

# Llama Agents by Llamaindex
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/agents/llama-agents

Use Portkey with Llama Agents to take your AI Agents to production

## Getting Started

### 1. Install the required packages:

```sh theme={"system"}
pip install -qU llama-agents llama-index portkey-ai
```

### 2. Configure your Llama Index LLM objects:

```py theme={"system"}
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

gpt_4o_config = {
    "provider": "openai", #Use the provider of choice
    "api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_KEY,
    "override_params": { "model":"gpt-4o" }
}

gpt_4o = OpenAI(
    api_base=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key=userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY'),
        config=gpt_4o_config
    )
)
```

That's all you need to do to use Portkey with Llama Index agents. Execute your agents and visit [Portkey.ai](https://portkey.ai) to observe your Agent's activity.

## Integration Guide

Here's a simple Google Colab notebook that demonstrates Llama Index with Portkey integration

[<img alt="" />](https://git.new/llama-agents)

## Make your agents Production-ready with Portkey

Portkey makes your Llama Index agents reliable, robust, and production-grade with its observability suite and AI Gateway. Seamlessly integrate 1600+ LLMs with your Llama Index agents using Portkey. Implement fallbacks, gain granular insights into agent performance and costs, and continuously optimize your AI operations—all with just 2 lines of code.

Let's dive deep! Let's go through each of the use cases!

### 1. [Interoperability](/product/ai-gateway/universal-api)

Easily switch between 1600+ LLMs. Call various LLMs such as Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, and many more by simply changing the `provider ` and `API key` in the `ChatOpenAI` object.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="OpenAI to Azure OpenAI">
    If you are using OpenAI with autogen, your code would look like this:

    ```py theme={"system"}
    llm_config = {
        "provider": "openai", #Use the provider of choice
        "api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_KEY,
        "override_params": { "model":"gpt-4o" }
    }

    llm = OpenAI(
        api_base=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            config=llm_config
        )
    )
    ```

    To switch to Azure as your provider, add your Azure details to Portley and create an integration ([here's how](/integrations/llms/azure-openai)).

    ```py theme={"system"}
    llm_config = {
        provider="azure-openai", #choose your provider
        "api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_KEY,
        "override_params": { "model":"gpt-4o" }
    }

    llm = OpenAI(
        api_base=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            config=llm_config
        )
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Anthropic to AWS Bedrock">
    If you are using Anthropic with CrewAI, your code would look like this:

    ```py theme={"system"}
    llm_config = {
        "provider": "anthropic", #Use the provider of choice
        "api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_KEY,
        "override_params": { "model":"claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620" }
    }

    llm = OpenAI(
        api_base=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            config=llm_config
        )
    )
    ```

    To switch to AWS Bedrock as your provider, add your AWS Bedrock details to Portley and create an integration ([here's how](/integrations/llms/aws-bedrock)).

    ```py theme={"system"}
    llm_config = {
        "provider": "bedrock", #Use the provider of choice
        "api_key": "YOUR_AWS_KEY",
        "override_params": { "model":"gpt-4o" }
    }

    llm = OpenAI(
        api_base=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            config=llm_config
        )
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. [Reliability](/product/ai-gateway)

Agents are *brittle*. Long agentic pipelines with multiple steps can fail at any stage, disrupting the entire process. Portkey solves this by offering built-in **fallbacks** between different LLMs or providers, **load-balancing** across multiple instances or API keys, and implementing automatic **retries** and request **timeouts**. This makes your agents more reliable and resilient.

Here's how you can implement these features using Portkey's config

```py theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 5
  },
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance" // Choose between "loadbalance" or "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "api_key": "OpenAI_API_Key"
    },
    {
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "api_key": "Anthropic_API_Key"
    }
  ]
}
```

### 3. [Metrics](/product/observability)

Agent runs can be costly. Tracking agent metrics is crucial for understanding the performance and reliability of your AI agents. Metrics help identify issues, optimize runs, and ensure that your agents meet their intended goals.

Portkey automatically logs comprehensive metrics for your AI agents, including **cost**, **tokens used**, **latency**, etc. Whether you need a broad overview or granular insights into your agent runs, Portkey's customizable filters provide the metrics you need. For agent-specific observability, add `Trace-id` to the request headers for each agent.

```py theme={"system"}
llm2 = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="Anthropic_API_Key",
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="anthropic",
        trace_id="research_agent1" #Add individual trace-id for your agent analytics
    )
)
```

### 4. [Logs](/product/observability/logs)

Agent runs are complex. Logs are essential for diagnosing issues, understanding agent behavior, and improving performance. They provide a detailed record of agent activities and tool use, which is crucial for debugging and optimizing processes.

Portkey offers comprehensive logging features that capture detailed information about every action and decision made by your AI agents. Access a dedicated section to view records of agent executions, including parameters, outcomes, function calls, and errors. Filter logs based on multiple parameters such as trace ID, model, tokens used, and metadata.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### 5. [Traces](/product/observability/traces)

With traces, you can see each agent run granularly on Portkey. Tracing your LlamaIndex agent runs helps in debugging, performance optimzation, and visualizing how exactly your agents are running.

### Using Traces in LlamaIndex Agents

#### Step 1: Import & Initialize the Portkey LlamaIndex Callback Handler

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai.llamaindex import LlamaIndexCallbackHandler

portkey_handler = LlamaIndexCallbackHandler(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    metadata={
        "session_id": "session_1",  # Use consistent metadata across your application
        "agent_id": "research_agent_1",  # Specific to the current agent
    }
)
```

#### Step 2: Configure Your LLM with the Portkey Callback

```py theme={"system"}
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

llm = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY_HERE",
    callbacks=[portkey_handler],  # Replace with your OpenAI API key
    # ... other parameters
)
```

With Portkey tracing, you can encapsulate the complete execution of your agent workflow.

### 6. [Continuous Improvement](/product/observability/feedback)

Improve your Agent runs by capturing qualitative & quantitative user feedback on your requests. Portkey's Feedback APIs provide a simple way to get weighted feedback from customers on any request you served, at any stage in your app. You can capture this feedback on a request or conversation level and analyze it by adding meta data to the relevant request.

### 7. [Caching](/product/ai-gateway/cache-simple-and-semantic)

Agent runs are time-consuming and expensive due to their complex pipelines. Caching can significantly reduce these costs by storing frequently used data and responses. Portkey offers a built-in caching system that stores past responses, reducing the need for agent calls saving both time and money.

```py theme={"system"}
{
 "cache": {
    "mode": "semantic" // Choose between "simple" or "semantic"
 }
}
```

### 8. [Security & Compliance](/product/enterprise-offering/security-portkey)

Set budget limits on provider API keys and implement fine-grained user roles and permissions for both the app and the Portkey APIs.

***

## [Portkey Config](/product/ai-gateway/configs)

Many of these features are driven by Portkey's Config architecture. The Portkey app simplifies creating, managing, and versioning your Configs.

For more information on using these features and setting up your Config, please refer to the [Portkey documentation](https://docs.portkey.ai).

### Installation & Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the required packages">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    npm install @mastra/core
    npm install --save-dev mastra
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate API Key">
    Create a Portkey API key from the [Portkey dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/). You can attach optional budget/rate limits and configurations.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Up Provider Integration">
    In Portkey, set up your LLM provider integration:

    1. Go to [Integrations](https://app.portkey.ai/integrations) in Portkey
    2. Connect your LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
    3. Note your provider slug (e.g., `openai-dev`, `anthropic-prod`)

    You'll use this slug in your Mastra model configuration.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Mastra Agent with Portkey">
    Configure your Mastra agent's model to use Portkey as the gateway:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent';

    export const agent = new Agent({
      name: 'Assistant',
      instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
      model: {
        id: 'openai/@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG@gpt-4o',  // Format: openai/@provider-slug@model-name
        url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
        apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
        headers: {
          // Optional: Add Portkey configuration
          'x-portkey-trace-id': 'agent-session-123',
          'x-portkey-metadata': JSON.stringify({ 
            agent: 'assistant',
            env: 'production' 
          })
        }
      }
    });
    ```

    <Note>
      **Model ID Format**: Use `openai/@provider-slug@model-name` because Mastra uses OpenAI-compatible interfaces under the hood. The `@provider-slug` should match the slug from your Portkey integration.
    </Note>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Production Features

### 1. Enhanced Observability

Portkey provides comprehensive observability for your Mastra agents, helping you understand exactly what's happening during each execution.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Traces">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Traces provide a hierarchical view of your agent's execution, showing the sequence of LLM calls, tool invocations, and state transitions.

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    // Add tracing to your Mastra agents
    export const agent = new Agent({
      name: 'Research Assistant',
      instructions: 'You are a helpful research assistant.',
      model: {
        id: 'openai/@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG@gpt-4o',
        url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
        apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
        headers: {
          'x-portkey-trace-id': 'unique_execution_trace_id', // Add unique trace ID
          'x-portkey-metadata': JSON.stringify({ 
            agent_type: 'research_agent' 
          })
        }
      }
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Logs">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Portkey logs every interaction with LLMs, including:

    * Complete request and response payloads
    * Latency and token usage metrics
    * Cost calculations
    * Tool calls and function executions

    All logs can be filtered by metadata, trace IDs, models, and more, making it easy to debug specific agent runs.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Metrics & Dashboards">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Portkey provides built-in dashboards that help you:

    * Track cost and token usage across all agent runs
    * Analyze performance metrics like latency and success rates
    * Identify bottlenecks in your agent workflows
    * Compare different agent configurations and LLMs

    You can filter and segment all metrics by custom metadata to analyze specific agent types, user groups, or use cases.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Metadata Filtering">
    <Frame>
      <img alt="Analytics with metadata filters" />
    </Frame>

    Add custom metadata to your Mastra agent calls to enable powerful filtering and segmentation:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    export const agent = new Agent({
      name: 'Assistant',
      instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
      model: {
        id: 'openai/@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG@gpt-4o',
        url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
        apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
        headers: {
          'x-portkey-metadata': JSON.stringify({
            agent_type: 'research_agent',
            environment: 'production',
            _user: 'user_123',  // Special _user field for user analytics
            team: 'engineering'
          })
        }
      }
    });
    ```

    This metadata can be used to filter logs, traces, and metrics on the Portkey dashboard, allowing you to analyze specific agent runs, users, or environments.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Reliability - Keep Your Agents Running Smoothly

When running agents in production, things can go wrong - API rate limits, network issues, or provider outages. Portkey's reliability features ensure your agents keep running smoothly even when problems occur.

It's this simple to enable fallback in your Mastra agents:

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent';

// Create a config with fallbacks
// It's recommended that you create the Config in Portkey App rather than hard-code the config JSON directly
const portkeyConfig = {
  strategy: {
    mode: 'fallback'
  },
  targets: [
    {
      provider: '@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER',
      override_params: { model: 'gpt-4o' }
    },
    {
      provider: '@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER',
      override_params: { model: 'claude-3-opus-20240229' }
    }
  ]
};

export const agent = new Agent({
  name: 'Resilient Agent',
  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
  model: {
    id: 'openai/@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER@gpt-4o',
    url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
    apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    headers: {
      'x-portkey-config': JSON.stringify(portkeyConfig)
    }
  }
});
```

This configuration will automatically try Claude if the GPT-4o request fails, ensuring your agent can continue operating.

### 3. Prompting in Mastra Agents

Portkey's Prompt Engineering Studio helps you create, manage, and optimize the prompts used in your Mastra agents. Instead of hardcoding prompts or instructions, use Portkey's prompt rendering API to dynamically fetch and apply your versioned prompts.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Prompt Playground Interface" />
</Frame>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Prompt Playground">
    Prompt Playground is a place to compare, test and deploy perfect prompts for your AI application. It's where you experiment with different models, test variables, compare outputs, and refine your prompt engineering strategy before deploying to production. It allows you to:

    1. Iteratively develop prompts before using them in your agents
    2. Test prompts with different variables and models
    3. Compare outputs between different prompt versions
    4. Collaborate with team members on prompt development

    This visual environment makes it easier to craft effective prompts for each step in your Mastra agent's workflow.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Prompt Templates">
    The Prompt Render API retrieves your prompt templates with all parameters configured:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';
    import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent';

    // Initialize Portkey client
    const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY
    });

    // Retrieve prompt using the render API
    const promptData = await portkey.prompts.render({
      promptID: 'YOUR_PROMPT_ID',
      variables: {
        user_input: 'Tell me about artificial intelligence'
      }
    });

    // Use the rendered prompt in your Mastra agent
    export const agent = new Agent({
      name: 'Assistant',
      instructions: promptData.data.messages[0].content, // Use the rendered prompt as instructions
      model: {
        id: 'openai/@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG@gpt-4o',
        url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
        apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY
      }
    });

    const result = await agent.generate('Tell me about artificial intelligence');
    console.log(result.text);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Prompt Versioning">
    You can:

    * Create multiple versions of the same prompt
    * Compare performance between versions
    * Roll back to previous versions if needed
    * Specify which version to use in your code:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    // Use a specific prompt version
    const promptData = await portkey.prompts.render({
      promptID: 'YOUR_PROMPT_ID@version_number',
      variables: {
        user_input: 'Tell me about quantum computing'
      }
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Mustache Templating for variables">
    Portkey prompts use Mustache-style templating for easy variable substitution:

    ```
    You are an AI assistant helping with {{task_type}}.

    User question: {{user_input}}

    Please respond in a {{tone}} tone and include {{required_elements}}.
    ```

    When rendering, simply pass the variables:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    const promptData = await portkey.prompts.render({
      promptID: 'YOUR_PROMPT_ID',
      variables: {
        task_type: 'research',
        user_input: 'Tell me about quantum computing',
        tone: 'professional',
        required_elements: 'recent academic references'
      }
    });
    ```

### 4. Guardrails for Safe Agents

Guardrails ensure your Mastra agents operate safely and respond appropriately in all situations.

**Why Use Guardrails?**

Mastra agents can experience various failure modes:

* Generating harmful or inappropriate content
* Leaking sensitive information like PII
* Hallucinating incorrect information
* Generating outputs in incorrect formats

Portkey's guardrails protect against these issues by validating both inputs and outputs.

**Implementing Guardrails**

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent';

// Create a config with input and output guardrails
// It's recommended you create Config in Portkey App and pass the config ID in the headers
const guardrailConfig = {
  provider: '@YOUR_PROVIDER',
  input_guardrails: ['guardrails-id-xxx', 'guardrails-id-yyy'],
  output_guardrails: ['guardrails-id-xxx']
};

export const agent = new Agent({
  name: 'Safe Agent',
  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant that provides safe responses.',
  model: {
    id: 'openai/@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG@gpt-4o',
    url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
    apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    headers: {
      'x-portkey-config': JSON.stringify(guardrailConfig)
    }
  }
});
```

Portkey's guardrails can:

* Detect and redact PII in both inputs and outputs
* Filter harmful or inappropriate content
* Validate response formats against schemas
* Check for hallucinations against ground truth
* Apply custom business logic and rules

### 5. User Tracking with Metadata

Track individual users through your Mastra agents using Portkey's metadata system.

**What is Metadata in Portkey?**

Metadata allows you to associate custom data with each request, enabling filtering, segmentation, and analytics. The special `_user` field is specifically designed for user tracking.

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent';

export const agent = new Agent({
  name: 'Personalized Agent',
  instructions: 'You are a personalized assistant.',
  model: {
    id: 'openai/@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG@gpt-4o',
    url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
    apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    headers: {
      'x-portkey-metadata': JSON.stringify({
        _user: 'user_123',  // Special _user field for user analytics
        user_name: 'John Doe',
        user_tier: 'premium',
        user_company: 'Acme Corp'
      })
    }
  }
});
```

**Filter Analytics by User**

With metadata in place, you can filter analytics by user and analyze performance metrics on a per-user basis:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

This enables:

* Per-user cost tracking and budgeting
* Personalized user analytics
* Team or organization-level metrics
* Environment-specific monitoring (staging vs. production)

### 6. Caching for Efficient Agents

Implement caching to make your Mastra agents more efficient and cost-effective:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Simple Caching">
    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent';

    const cacheConfig = {
      provider: '@YOUR_PROVIDER',
      cache: {
        mode: 'simple'
      }
    };

    export const agent = new Agent({
      name: 'Cached Agent',
      instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
      model: {
        id: 'openai/@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG@gpt-4o',
        url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
        apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
        headers: {
          'x-portkey-config': JSON.stringify(cacheConfig)
        }
      }
    });
    ```

    Simple caching performs exact matches on input prompts, caching identical requests to avoid redundant model executions.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Semantic Caching">
    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent';

    const semanticCacheConfig = {
      provider: '@YOUR_PROVIDER',
      cache: {
        mode: 'semantic'
      }
    };

    export const agent = new Agent({
      name: 'Semantically Cached Agent',
      instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
      model: {
        id: 'openai/@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG@gpt-4o',
        url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
        apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
        headers: {
          'x-portkey-config': JSON.stringify(semanticCacheConfig)
        }
      }
    });
    ```

    Semantic caching considers the contextual similarity between input requests, caching responses for semantically similar inputs.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 7. Model Interoperability

With Portkey, you can easily switch between different LLMs in your Mastra agents without changing your core agent logic.

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent';

// Using OpenAI
const openaiAgent = new Agent({
  name: 'OpenAI Agent',
  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
  model: {
    id: 'openai/@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER@gpt-4o',
    url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
    apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY
  }
});

// Using Anthropic
const anthropicAgent = new Agent({
  name: 'Anthropic Agent',
  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
  model: {
    id: 'openai/@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER@claude-3-opus-20240229',
    url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
    apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY
  }
});

// Using Google Gemini
const geminiAgent = new Agent({
  name: 'Gemini Agent',
  instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
  model: {
    id: 'openai/@YOUR_GOOGLE_PROVIDER@gemini-2.0-flash-exp',
    url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
    apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY
  }
});
```

## Set Up Enterprise Governance for Mastra Agents

**Why Enterprise Governance?**

If you are using Mastra agents inside your organization, you need to consider several governance aspects:

* **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
* **Access Control**: Managing which teams can use specific models
* **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
* **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
* **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users

Portkey adds a comprehensive governance layer to address these enterprise needs. Let's implement these controls step by step.

**Enterprise Implementation Guide**

Portkey allows you to use 1600+ LLMs with your Mastra agents setup, with minimal configuration required. Let's set up the core components in Portkey that you'll need for integration.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Integration">
    To create a new LLM integration:

    Go to [Integrations](https://app.portkey.ai/integrations) in the Portkey App. Set budget / rate limits, model access if required and save the integration.

    This creates a "Portkey Provider" that you can then use in any of your Portkey requests without having to send auth details for that LLM provider again.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Config">
    Configs in Portkey define how your requests are routed, with features like advanced routing, fallbacks, and retries.

    To create your config:

    1. Go to [Configs](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new config with:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "provider": "@YOUR_PROVIDER_FROM_STEP1",
      "override_params": {
        "model": "gpt-4o" // Your preferred model name
      }
    }
    ```

    3. Save and note the Config ID for the next step

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Portkey API Key">
    Now create a Portkey API key and attach the config you created in Step 2:

    1. Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) in Portkey and Create new API key
    2. Select your config from Step 2
    3. Generate and save your API key

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect to Mastra">
    After setting up your Portkey API key with the attached config, connect it to your Mastra agents:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent';

    export const agent = new Agent({
      name: 'Enterprise Agent',
      instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
      model: {
        id: 'openai/@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG@gpt-4o',
        url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
        apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY'  // The API key with attached config from step 3
      }
    });
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Integrations enable granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Integrations](https://app.portkey.ai/integrations) in Portkey dashboard and create a new Integration
    2. Provision this Integration for each department with their budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure model access if required

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with features like:

    #### Access Control Features:

    * **Model Restrictions**: Limit access to specific models
    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks and retry logic

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to route requests to OpenAI, specifically using GPT-4o:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "strategy": {
        "mode": "single"
      },
      "targets": [
        {
          "provider": "@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",

  <Accordion title="Step 3: Implement Access Controls">
    ### Step 3: Implement Access Controls

    Create User-specific API keys that automatically:

    * Track usage per user/team with the help of metadata
    * Apply appropriate configs to route requests
    * Collect relevant metadata to filter logs
    * Enforce access permissions

    Create API keys through:

    * [Portkey App](https://app.portkey.ai/)
    * [API Key Management API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key)

    Example using Node.js SDK:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

    const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: 'YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY'
    });

    const apiKey = await portkey.apiKeys.create({
      name: 'engineering-team',
      type: 'organisation',
      workspaceId: 'YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID',
      defaults: {
        configId: 'your-config-id',
        metadata: {
          environment: 'production',
          department: 'engineering'
        }
      },
      scopes: ['logs.view', 'configs.read']
    });
    ```

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How does Portkey enhance Mastra agents?">
    Portkey adds production-readiness to Mastra agents through comprehensive observability (traces, logs, metrics), reliability features (fallbacks, retries, caching), and access to 1600+ LLMs through a unified interface. This makes it easier to debug, optimize, and scale your agent applications.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use Portkey with existing Mastra agents?">
    Yes! Portkey integrates seamlessly with existing Mastra agents. You only need to update your agent's model configuration to point to Portkey. The rest of your agent code remains unchanged.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Portkey work with all Mastra features?">
    Portkey supports all Mastra features, including tools, workflows, memory, and scoring. It adds observability and reliability without limiting any of the framework's functionality.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why does the model ID use 'openai/' prefix?">
    Mastra uses OpenAI-compatible interfaces under the hood, so the model ID format is `openai/@provider-slug@model-name`. This allows Mastra to work with any LLM provider through Portkey, not just OpenAI. The `@provider-slug` corresponds to your Portkey integration slug.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I filter logs and traces for specific agent runs?">
    Portkey allows you to add custom metadata and trace IDs to your agent runs through the model headers. Add fields like `agent_name`, `agent_type`, or `session_id` to easily find and analyze specific agent executions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use different LLM providers for different agents?">
    Yes! Simply change the provider slug in the model ID. For example, use `openai/@openai-provider@gpt-4o` for one agent and `openai/@anthropic-provider@claude-3-opus-20240229` for another. All agents route through Portkey.

### Installation & Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the required packages">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    pip install -U openai-agents portkey-ai
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate API Key">
    Create a Portkey API key with optional budget/rate limits and attach your Config
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect to OpenAI Agents">
    There are 3 ways to integrate Portkey with OpenAI Agents:

    1. Set a client that applies to all agents in your application
    2. Use a custom provider for selective Portkey integration
    3. Configure each agent individually

    See the [Integration Approaches](#integration-approaches) section for more details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Portkey Client">
    For a simple setup, we'll use the global client approach:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from agents import (
        set_default_openai_client,
        set_default_openai_api,
        Agent, Runner
    )
    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
    from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders
    import os

    # Set up Portkey as the global client
    portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
        )
    )

    # Register as the SDK-wide default
    set_default_openai_client(portkey, use_for_tracing=False)
    set_default_openai_api("chat_completions")  # Responses API → Chat
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Getting Started

Let's create a simple question-answering agent with OpenAI Agents SDK and Portkey. This agent will respond directly to user messages using a language model:

```python theme={"system"}
from agents import (
    set_default_openai_client,
    set_default_openai_api,
    Agent, Runner
)
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders
import os

# Set up Portkey as the global client
portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
    )
)

# Register as the SDK-wide default
set_default_openai_client(portkey, use_for_tracing=False)
set_default_openai_api("chat_completions")  # Responses API → Chat

# Create agent with any supported model
agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant.",
    model="gpt-4o"  # Using Anthropic Claude through Portkey
)

# Run the agent
result = Runner.run_sync(agent, "Tell me about quantum computing.")
print(result.final_output)
```

In this example:

1. We set up Portkey as the global client for OpenAI Agents SDK
2. We create a simple agent with instructions and a model
3. We run the agent synchronously with a user query
4. We print the final output

Visit your Portkey dashboard to see detailed logs of this agent's execution!

### Integration Approaches

There are three ways to integrate Portkey with OpenAI Agents SDK, each suited for different scenarios:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Global Default Client">
    Set a global client that affects all agents in your application:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from agents import (
        set_default_openai_client,
        set_default_openai_api,
        set_tracing_disabled,
        Agent, Runner
    )
    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
    from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders
    import os

    # Set up Portkey as the global client
    portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
        )
    )

    # Register it as the SDK-wide default
    set_default_openai_client(portkey, use_for_tracing=False)   # skip OpenAI tracing
    set_default_openai_api("chat_completions")                  # Responses API → Chat
    set_tracing_disabled(True)                                  # optional

    # Regular agent code—just a model name
    agent = Agent(
        name="Haiku Writer",
        instructions="Respond only in haikus.",
        model="claude-3-7-sonnet-latest"
    )

    print(Runner.run_sync(agent, "Write a haiku on recursion.").final_output)
    ```

    **Best for**: Whole application migration to Portkey with minimal code changes
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="ModelProvider with RunConfig">
    Use a custom ModelProvider to control which runs use Portkey:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from agents import (
        Model,
        ModelProvider,
        RunConfig,
        Runner,
        Agent
    )
    from agents import OpenAIChatCompletionsModel           # concrete Model
    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
    from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders
    import os, asyncio


    client = AsyncOpenAI(
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
        )
    )

    class PortkeyProvider(ModelProvider):
        def get_model(self, model_name: str | None) -> Model:
            return OpenAIChatCompletionsModel(
                model=model_name or "claude-3-7-sonnet-latest",
                openai_client=client
            )

    PORTKEY = PortkeyProvider()                              # singleton is fine

    async def main():
        agent = Agent(name="Assistant", instructions="Haikus only.")
        run_cfg = RunConfig(model_provider=PORTKEY)

        # Only this call uses Portkey
        out = await Runner.run(agent, "Weather in Tokyo?", run_config=run_cfg)
        print(out.final_output)

    asyncio.run(main())
    ```

    **Best for**: A/B testing, staged rollouts, or toggling between providers at runtime
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Per-Agent Model Object">
    Attach a specific Model object to each Agent:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from agents import Agent, Runner, OpenAIChatCompletionsModel
    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
    from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders
    import os


    portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
        )
    )


    agent = Agent(
        name="Haiku Writer",
        instructions="Classic Japanese form.",
        model=OpenAIChatCompletionsModel(                   # concrete Model
            model="claude-3-7-sonnet-latest",
            openai_client=portkey_client
        ),
    )

    print(Runner.run_sync(agent, "Recursion haiku.").final_output)
    ```

    **Best for**: Mixed agent environments where different agents need different providers or configurations
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

**Comparing the 3 approaches**

| Strategy                                          | Code Touchpoints                              | Best For                                                 |
| :------------------------------------------------ | :-------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Global Client** via `set_default_openai_client` | One-time setup; agents need only model names  | Whole app uses Portkey; simplest migration               |
| **ModelProvider in RunConfig**                    | Add a provider + pass `run_config`            | Toggle Portkey per run; A/B tests, staged rollouts       |
| **Explicit Model per Agent**                      | Specify `OpenAIChatCompletionsModel` in agent | Mixed fleet: each agent can talk to a different provider |

## End-to-End Example

**Research Agent with Tools**: Here's a more comprehensive agent that can use tools to perform tasks.

```python [expandable] theme={"system"}
from agents import Agent, Runner, Tool, set_default_openai_client
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders
import os

# Configure Portkey client
portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY"),
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
    )
)
set_default_openai_client(portkey)

# Define agent tools
def get_weather(location: str) -> str:
    """Get the current weather for a location."""
    return f"It's 72°F and sunny in {location}."

def search_web(query: str) -> str:
    """Search the web for information."""
    return f"Found information about: {query}"

# Create agent with tools
agent = Agent(
    name="Research Assistant",
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant that can search for information and check the weather.",
    model="claude-3-opus-20240229",
    tools=[
        Tool(
            name="get_weather",
            description="Get current weather for a location",
            input_schema={
                "location": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "City and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA"
                }
            },
            callback=get_weather
        ),
        Tool(
            name="search_web",
            description="Search the web for information",
            input_schema={
                "query": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "Search query"
                }
            },
            callback=search_web
        )
    ]
)

# Run the agent
result = Runner.run_sync(
    agent,
    "What's the weather in San Francisco and find information about Golden Gate Bridge?"
)
print(result.final_output)
```

## Production Features

### 1. Enhanced Observability

Portkey provides comprehensive observability for your OpenAI Agents, helping you understand exactly what's happening during each execution.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Traces">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Traces provide a hierarchical view of your agent's execution, showing the sequence of LLM calls, tool invocations, and state transitions.

    ```python theme={"system"}
      # Add tracing to your OpenAI Agents
      portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
          base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
          api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
          default_headers=createHeaders(
              trace_id="unique_execution_trace_id", # Add unique trace ID
              provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
          )
      )
      set_default_openai_client(portkey)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Logs">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Portkey logs every interaction with LLMs, including:

    * Complete request and response payloads
    * Latency and token usage metrics
    * Cost calculations
    * Tool calls and function executions

    All logs can be filtered by metadata, trace IDs, models, and more, making it easy to debug specific agent runs.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Metrics & Dashboards">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Portkey provides built-in dashboards that help you:

    * Track cost and token usage across all agent runs
    * Analyze performance metrics like latency and success rates
    * Identify bottlenecks in your agent workflows
    * Compare different agent configurations and LLMs

    You can filter and segment all metrics by custom metadata to analyze specific agent types, user groups, or use cases.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Metadata Filtering">
    <Frame>
      <img alt="Analytics with metadata filters" />
    </Frame>

    Add custom metadata to your OpenAI agent calls to enable powerful filtering and segmentation:

    ```python theme={"system"}

      # Add tracing to your OpenAI Agents
      portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
          base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
          api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
          default_headers=createHeaders(
              metadata={"agent_type": "research_agent"}, # Add custom metadata
              provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
          )
      )
      set_default_openai_client(portkey)
    ```

    This metadata can be used to filter logs, traces, and metrics on the Portkey dashboard, allowing you to analyze specific agent runs, users, or environments.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Reliability - Keep Your Agents Running Smoothly

When running agents in production, things can go wrong - API rate limits, network issues, or provider outages. Portkey's reliability features ensure your agents keep running smoothly even when problems occur.

It's this simple to enable fallback in your OpenAI Agents:

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from agents import set_default_openai_client

# Create a config with fallbacks, It's recommended that you create the Config in Portkey App rather than hard-code the config JSON directly
config = {
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "override_params": {"model": "gpt-4o"}
    },
    {
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "override_params": {"model": "claude-3-opus-20240229"}
    }
  ]
}

# Configure Portkey client with fallback config
portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
    default_headers=createHeaders(config=config)
)
set_default_openai_client(portkey)
```

This configuration will automatically try Claude if the GPT-4o request fails, ensuring your agent can continue operating.

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Automatic Retries" icon="rotate" href="../../product/ai-gateway/automatic-retries">
    Handles temporary failures automatically. If an LLM call fails, Portkey will retry the same request for the specified number of times - perfect for rate limits or network blips.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Request Timeouts" icon="clock" href="../../product/ai-gateway/request-timeouts">
    Prevent your agents from hanging. Set timeouts to ensure you get responses (or can fail gracefully) within your required timeframes.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Conditional Routing" icon="route" href="../../product/ai-gateway/conditional-routing">
    Send different requests to different providers. Route complex reasoning to GPT-4, creative tasks to Claude, and quick responses to Gemini based on your needs.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Fallbacks" icon="shield" href="../../product/ai-gateway/fallbacks">
    Keep running even if your primary provider fails. Automatically switch to backup providers to maintain availability.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Load Balancing" icon="scale-balanced" href="../../product/ai-gateway/load-balancing">
    Spread requests across multiple API keys or providers. Great for high-volume agent operations and staying within rate limits.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### 3. Prompting in OpenAI Agents

Portkey's Prompt Engineering Studio helps you create, manage, and optimize the prompts used in your OpenAI Agents. Instead of hardcoding prompts or instructions, use Portkey's prompt rendering API to dynamically fetch and apply your versioned prompts.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Prompt Playground Interface" />
</Frame>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Prompt Playground">
    Prompt Playground is a place to compare, test and deploy perfect prompts for your AI application. It’s where you experiment with different models, test variables, compare outputs, and refine your prompt engineering strategy before deploying to production. It allows you to:

    1. Iteratively develop prompts before using them in your agents
    2. Test prompts with different variables and models
    3. Compare outputs between different prompt versions
    4. Collaborate with team members on prompt development

    This visual environment makes it easier to craft effective prompts for each step in your OpenAI Agents agent's workflow.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Prompt Templates">
    The Prompt Render API retrieves your prompt templates with all parameters configured:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
    from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders
    from agents import Agent, Runner, set_default_openai_client

    # Initialize Portkey client
    portkey_client = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")

    # Retrieve prompt using the render API
    prompt_data = portkey_client.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
        variables={
            "user_input": "Tell me about artificial intelligence"
        }
    )

    # Configure OpenAI client with Portkey
    openai_client = AsyncOpenAI(
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
        )
    )
    set_default_openai_client(openai_client)

    # Use the rendered prompt in your OpenAI Agent
    agent = Agent(
        name="Assistant",
        instructions=prompt_data.data.messages[0]["content"],  # Use the rendered prompt as instructions
        model="gpt-4o"
    )

    result = Runner.run_sync(agent, "Tell me about artificial intelligence")
    print(result.final_output)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Prompt Versioning">
    You can:

    * Create multiple versions of the same prompt
    * Compare performance between versions
    * Roll back to previous versions if needed
    * Specify which version to use in your code:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Use a specific prompt version
    prompt_data = portkey_client.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID@version_number",
        variables={
            "user_input": "Tell me about quantum computing"
        }
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Mustache Templating for variables">
    Portkey prompts use Mustache-style templating for easy variable substitution:

    ```
    You are an AI assistant helping with {{task_type}}.

    User question: {{user_input}}

    Please respond in a {{tone}} tone and include {{required_elements}}.
    ```

    When rendering, simply pass the variables:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    prompt_data = portkey_client.prompts.render(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
        variables={
            "task_type": "research",
            "user_input": "Tell me about quantum computing",
            "tone": "professional",
            "required_elements": "recent academic references"
        }
    )

### 4. Guardrails for Safe Agents

Guardrails ensure your OpenAI Agents operate safely and respond appropriately in all situations.

**Why Use Guardrails?**

OpenAI Agents can experience various failure modes:

* Generating harmful or inappropriate content
* Leaking sensitive information like PII
* Hallucinating incorrect information
* Generating outputs in incorrect formats

Portkey's guardrails protect against these issues by validating both inputs and outputs.

**Implementing Guardrails**

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from agents import set_default_openai_client

# Create a config with input and output guardrails, It's recommended you create Config in Portkey App and pass the config ID in the client
config = {
    "provider":"@openai-xxx",
    "input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"],
    "output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx"]
}

# Configure OpenAI client with guardrails
portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        config=config,
        provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
    )
)
set_default_openai_client(portkey)
```

Portkey's guardrails can:

* Detect and redact PII in both inputs and outputs
* Filter harmful or inappropriate content
* Validate response formats against schemas
* Check for hallucinations against ground truth
* Apply custom business logic and rules

### 5. User Tracking with Metadata

Track individual users through your OpenAI Agents using Portkey's metadata system.

**What is Metadata in Portkey?**

Metadata allows you to associate custom data with each request, enabling filtering, segmentation, and analytics. The special `_user` field is specifically designed for user tracking.

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from agents import set_default_openai_client

# Configure client with user tracking
portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        provider="@YOUR_LLM_PROVIDER",
        metadata={
            "_user": "user_123", # Special _user field for user analytics
            "user_name": "John Doe",
            "user_tier": "premium",
            "user_company": "Acme Corp"
        }
    )
)
set_default_openai_client(portkey)
```

**Filter Analytics by User**

With metadata in place, you can filter analytics by user and analyze performance metrics on a per-user basis:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

This enables:

* Per-user cost tracking and budgeting
* Personalized user analytics
* Team or organization-level metrics
* Environment-specific monitoring (staging vs. production)

### 6. Caching for Efficient Agents

Implement caching to make your OpenAI Agents agents more efficient and cost-effective:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Simple Caching">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    portkey_config = {
      "cache": {
        "mode": "simple"
      },
      "provider":"@YOUR_LLM_PROVIDER"
    }

    # Configure OpenAI client with chosen provider
    portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
        default_headers=createHeaders(config=portkey_config)
    )
    set_default_openai_client(portkey)
    ```

    Simple caching performs exact matches on input prompts, caching identical requests to avoid redundant model executions.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Semantic Caching">
    ```python theme={"system"}
      portkey_config = {
        "cache": {
          "mode": "semantic"
        },
        "provider":"@YOUR_LLM_PROVIDER"
      }

      # Configure OpenAI client with chosen provider
      portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
          base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
          api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
          default_headers=createHeaders(config=portkey_config)
      )
      set_default_openai_client(portkey)
    ```

    Semantic caching considers the contextual similarity between input requests, caching responses for semantically similar inputs.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 7. Model Interoperability

With Portkey, you can easily switch between different LLMs in your OpenAI Agents without changing your core agent logic.

```python theme={"system"}
# Configure Portkey with different LLM providers
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from agents import set_default_openai_client

# Using OpenAI
openai_config = {
    "provider": "openai",
    "api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY",
    "override_params": {
        "model": "gpt-4o"
    }
}

# Using Anthropic
anthropic_config = {
    "provider": "anthropic",
    "api_key": "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY",
    "override_params": {
        "model": "claude-3-opus-20240229"
    }
}

# Choose which config to use
active_config = openai_config  # or anthropic_config

# Configure OpenAI client with chosen provider
portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
    default_headers=createHeaders(config=active_config)
)
set_default_openai_client(portkey)

# Create and run agent - no changes needed in agent code
agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant.",
    # The model specified here will be used as a reference but the actual model
    # is determined by the active_config
    model="gpt-4o"
)

result = Runner.run_sync(agent, "Tell me about quantum computing.")
print(result.final_output)
```

Portkey provides access to over 200 LLMs through a unified interface, including:

* OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, etc.)
* Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, etc.)
* Mistral AI (Mistral Large, Mistral Medium, etc.)
* Google Vertex AI (Gemini 1.5 Pro, etc.)
* Cohere (Command, Command-R, etc.)
* AWS Bedrock (Claude, Titan, etc.)
* Local/Private Models

<Card title="Supported Providers" icon="server" href="/integrations/llms">
  See the full list of LLM providers supported by Portkey
</Card>

### 8. Tracing

Portkey provides an opentelemetry compatible backend to store and query your traces.

You can trace your OpenAI Agents using any OpenTelemetry compatible tracing library.

Here is an example of how to trace your OpenAI Agents using the [`logfire`](/integrations/tracing-providers/logfire) library from Pydantic:

```python Python theme={"system"}
import logfire
from pydantic import BaseModel
from agents import Agent, Runner, function_tool
import asyncio
import os

os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT"] =  "https://api.portkey.com/v1/logs/otel"
os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS"] = f"x-portkey-api-key={YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY}"

class Weather(BaseModel):
    city: str
    temperature_range: str
    conditions: str

@function_tool
def get_weather(city: str) -> Weather:
    return Weather(city=city, temperature_range="14-20C", conditions="Sunny with wind.")

agent = Agent(
    name="Hello world",
    instructions="You are a helpful agent.",
    tools=[get_weather]
)

async def main():
    logfire.configure(
        service_name='my_agent_service',
        send_to_logfire=False,
    )
    logfire.instrument_openai_agents()
    result = await Runner.run(agent, input="What's the weather in Tokyo?")
    print(result.final_output)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

## Tool Use in OpenAI Agents

OpenAI Agents SDK natively supports tools that enable your agents to interact with external systems and APIs. Portkey provides full observability for tool usage in your agents:

```python [expandable] theme={"system"}
from agents import Agent, Runner, Tool, set_default_openai_client
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders
import os

# Configure Portkey client with tracing
portkey = AsyncOpenAI(
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key=os.environ["PORTKEY_API_KEY"],
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        trace_id="tools_example",
        metadata={"agent_type": "research"}
    )
)
set_default_openai_client(portkey)

# Define tools
def get_weather(location: str, unit: str = "fahrenheit") -> str:
    """Get the current weather in a given location"""
    return f"The weather in {location} is 72 degrees {unit}"

def get_population(city: str, country: str) -> str:
    """Get the population of a city"""
    return f"The population of {city}, {country} is 1,000,000"

# Create agent with tools
agent = Agent(
    name="Research Assistant",
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant that can look up weather and population information.",
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    tools=[
        Tool(
            name="get_weather",
            description="Get the current weather in a given location",
            input_schema={
                "location": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "City and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA"
                },
                "unit": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "Temperature unit (celsius or fahrenheit)",
                    "default": "fahrenheit"
                }
            },
            callback=get_weather
        ),
        Tool(
            name="get_population",
            description="Get the population of a city",
            input_schema={
                "city": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "City name"
                },
                "country": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "Country name"
                }
            },
            callback=get_population
        )
    ]
)

# Run the agent
result = Runner.run_sync(
    agent,
    "What's the weather in San Francisco and what's the population of Tokyo, Japan?"
)
print(result.final_output)
```

## Set Up Enterprise Governance for OpenAI Agents

**Why Enterprise Governance?**
If you are using OpenAI Agents inside your orgnaization, you need to consider several governance aspects:

* **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
* **Access Control**: Managing which teams can use specific models
* **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
* **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
* **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users

Portkey adds a comprehensive governance layer to address these enterprise needs. Let's implement these controls step by step.

**Enterprise Implementation Guide**

Portkey allows you to use 1600+ LLMs with your OpenAI Agents setup, with minimal configuration required. Let's set up the core components in Portkey that you'll need for integration.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Virtual Key">
    Virtual Keys are Portkey's secure way to manage your LLM provider API keys. Think of them like disposable credit cards for your LLM API keys, providing essential controls like:

    * Budget limits for API usage
    * Rate limiting capabilities
    * Secure API key storage

    To create a virtual key:
    Go to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in the Portkey App. Save and copy the virtual key ID

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      Save your virtual key ID - you'll need it for the next step.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Default Config">
    Configs in Portkey are JSON objects that define how your requests are routed. They help with implementing features like advanced routing, fallbacks, and retries.

    We need to create a default config to route our requests to the virtual key created in Step 1.

    To create your config:

    1. Go to [Configs](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new config with:
       ```json theme={"system"}
       {
           "provider":"@YOUR_PROVIDER_FROM_STEP1",
          	"override_params": {
             "model": "gpt-4o" // Your preferred model name
           }
       }

       ```
    3. Save and note the Config name for the next step

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      This basic config connects to your virtual key. You can add more advanced portkey features later.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Portkey API Key">
    Now create Portkey API key access point and attach the config you created in Step 2:

    1. Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) in Portkey and Create new API key
    2. Select your config from `Step 2`
    3. Generate and save your API key

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      Save your API key securely - you'll need it for OpenAI Agents integration.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Once you have creted your API Key after attaching default config, you can directly pass the API key + base URL in the AsyncOpenAI client. Here's how:

    ```Python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
    from openai import AsyncOpenAI


    client=AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY", # Your Portkey API Key from Step 3
    base_url="PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL"
    )

    # your rest of the code remains same
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Virtual Keys enable granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new Virtual Key for each department with budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure department-specific limits

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with features like:

    #### Access Control Features:

    * **Model Restrictions**: Limit access to specific models
    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks and retry logic

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to route requests to OpenAI, specifically using GPT-4o:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
    	"strategy": {
    		"mode": "single"
    	},
    	"targets": [
    		{
    			"provider":"@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "gpt-4o"
    			}
    		}
    	]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard. You'll need the config ID for connecting to OpenAI Agents's setup.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 3: Implement Access Controls">
    ### Step 3: Implement Access Controls

    Create User-specific API keys that automatically:

    * Track usage per user/team with the help of metadata
    * Apply appropriate configs to route requests
    * Collect relevant metadata to filter logs
    * Enforce access permissions

    Create API keys through:

    * [Portkey App](https://app.portkey.ai/)
    * [API Key Management API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key)

    Example using Python SDK:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY")

    api_key = portkey.api_keys.create(
        name="engineering-team",
        type="organisation",
        workspace_id="YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
        defaults={
            "config_id": "your-config-id",
            "metadata": {
                "environment": "production",
                "department": "engineering"
            }
        },
        scopes=["logs.view", "configs.read"]
    )
    ```

    For detailed key management instructions, see our [API Keys documentation](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Deploy & Monitor">
    ### Step 4: Deploy & Monitor

    After distributing API keys to your team members, your enterprise-ready OpenAI Agents setup is ready to go. Each team member can now use their designated API keys with appropriate access levels and budget controls.
    Apply your governance setup using the integration steps from earlier sections

### Installation & Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the required packages">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    npm install @openai/agents portkey-ai
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate API Key">
    Create a Portkey API key with optional budget/rate limits and attach your Config
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect to OpenAI Agents">
    There are 3 ways to integrate Portkey with OpenAI Agents:

    1. Set a client that applies to all agents in your application
    2. Use a custom provider for selective Portkey integration
    3. Configure each agent individually

    See the [Integration Approaches](#integration-approaches) section for more details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Portkey Client">
    For a simple setup, we'll use the global client approach:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    import { Agent, run } from '@openai/agents';
    import { setDefaultOpenAIClient, setOpenAIAPI, setTracingDisabled } from '@openai/agents';
    import { OpenAI } from 'openai';
    import { PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders } from 'portkey-ai';

    // Set up Portkey as the global client
    const portkey = new OpenAI({
        baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!,
        defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
            provider:"@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
        })
    });

    // Register as the SDK-wide default
    setDefaultOpenAIClient(portkey);
    setOpenAIAPI('chat_completions');  // Responses API → Chat
    setTracingDisabled(true);           // Optional: disable OpenAI's tracing
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Getting Started

Let's create a simple question-answering agent with OpenAI Agents SDK and Portkey. This agent will respond directly to user messages using a language model:

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { Agent, run } from '@openai/agents';
import { setDefaultOpenAIClient, setOpenAIAPI, setTracingDisabled } from '@openai/agents';
import { OpenAI } from 'openai';
import { PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders } from 'portkey-ai';

// Set up Portkey as the global client
const portkey = new OpenAI({
    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!,
    defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
        provider:"@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
    })
});

// Register as the SDK-wide default
setDefaultOpenAIClient(portkey);
setOpenAIAPI('chat_completions');  // Responses API → Chat
setTracingDisabled(true);           // Optional: disable OpenAI's tracing

// Create agent with any supported model
const agent = new Agent({
    name: "Assistant",
    instructions: "You are a helpful assistant.",
    model: "gpt-4o"
});

// Run the agent
const result = await run(agent, "Tell me about quantum computing.");
console.log(result.finalOutput);
```

In this example:

1. We set up Portkey as the global client for OpenAI Agents SDK
2. We create a simple agent with instructions and a model
3. We run the agent with a user query
4. We print the final output

## End-to-End Example

**Research Agent with Tools**: Here's a more comprehensive agent that can use tools to perform tasks.

```typescript [expandable] theme={"system"}
import { Agent, run, tool } from '@openai/agents';
import { setDefaultOpenAIClient } from '@openai/agents';
import { OpenAI } from 'openai';
import { PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders } from 'portkey-ai';
import { z } from 'zod';

// Configure Portkey client
const portkey = new OpenAI({
    apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!,
    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
        provider:"@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
    })
});
setDefaultOpenAIClient(portkey);

// Define agent tools using the tool() helper
const getWeatherTool = tool({
    name: 'get_weather',
    description: 'Get the current weather for a given city',
    parameters: z.object({
        city: z.string(),
        unit: z.enum(['celsius', 'fahrenheit']).nullable().optional()
    }),
    async execute({ city, unit = 'fahrenheit' }) {
        return `The weather in ${city} is 72°${unit === 'celsius' ? 'C' : 'F'} and sunny.`;
    }
});

const searchWebTool = tool({
    name: 'search_web',
    description: 'Search the web for information',
    parameters: z.object({
        query: z.string()
    }),
    async execute({ query }) {
        return `Found information about: ${query}`;
    }
});

// Create agent with tools
const agent = new Agent({
    name: "Research Assistant",
    instructions: "You are a helpful assistant that can search for information and check the weather.",
    model: "gpt-4o",
    tools: [getWeatherTool, searchWebTool]
});

// Run the agent
const result = await run(
    agent,
    "What's the weather in San Francisco and find information about Golden Gate Bridge?"
);
console.log(result.finalOutput);
```

    Traces provide a hierarchical view of your agent's execution, showing the sequence of LLM calls, tool invocations, and state transitions.

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    // Add tracing to your OpenAI Agents
    const portkey = new OpenAI({
        baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!,
        defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
            traceId: "unique_execution_trace_id", // Add unique trace ID
            provider:"@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
        })
    });
    setDefaultOpenAIClient(portkey);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Logs">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Portkey logs every interaction with LLMs, including:

    * Complete request and response payloads

    You can filter and segment all metrics by custom metadata to analyze specific agent types, user groups, or use cases.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Metadata Filtering">
    <Frame>
      <img alt="Analytics with metadata filters" />
    </Frame>

    Add custom metadata to your OpenAI agent calls to enable powerful filtering and segmentation:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    // Add metadata to your OpenAI Agents
    const portkey = new OpenAI({
        baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!,
        defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
            metadata: {"agent_type": "research_agent"}, // Add custom metadata
            provider:"@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
        })
    });
    setDefaultOpenAIClient(portkey);
    ```

    This metadata can be used to filter logs, traces, and metrics on the Portkey dashboard, allowing you to analyze specific agent runs, users, or environments.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Reliability - Keep Your Agents Running Smoothly

When running agents in production, things can go wrong - API rate limits, network issues, or provider outages. Portkey's reliability features ensure your agents keep running smoothly even when problems occur.

It's this simple to enable fallback in your OpenAI Agents:

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from 'portkey-ai';
import { OpenAI } from 'openai';
import { setDefaultOpenAIClient } from '@openai/agents';

// Create a config with fallbacks, It's recommended that you create the Config in Portkey App rather than hard-code the config JSON directly
const config = {
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "override_params": {"model": "gpt-4o"}
    },
    {
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "override_params": {"model": "claude-3-opus-20240229"}
    }
  ]
};

// Configure Portkey client with fallback config
const portkey = new OpenAI({
    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!,
    defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
        config: config
    })
});
setDefaultOpenAIClient(portkey);
```

This configuration will automatically try Claude if the GPT-4o request fails, ensuring your agent can continue operating.

### 3. Prompting in OpenAI Agents

Portkey's Prompt Engineering Studio helps you create, manage, and optimize the prompts used in your OpenAI Agents. Instead of hardcoding prompts or instructions, use Portkey's prompt rendering API to dynamically fetch and apply your versioned prompts.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Prompt Playground Interface" />
</Frame>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Prompt Playground">
    Prompt Playground is a place to compare, test and deploy perfect prompts for your AI application. It's where you experiment with different models, test variables, compare outputs, and refine your prompt engineering strategy before deploying to production. It allows you to:

    1. Iteratively develop prompts before using them in your agents
    2. Test prompts with different variables and models
    3. Compare outputs between different prompt versions
    4. Collaborate with team members on prompt development

    This visual environment makes it easier to craft effective prompts for each step in your OpenAI Agents agent's workflow.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Prompt Templates">
    The Prompt Render API retrieves your prompt templates with all parameters configured:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    import { OpenAI } from 'openai';
    import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';
    import { PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders } from 'portkey-ai';
    import { Agent, run, setDefaultOpenAIClient } from '@openai/agents';

    // Initialize Portkey client
    const portkeyClient = new Portkey({
        apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!
    });

    // Retrieve prompt using the render API
    const promptData = await portkeyClient.prompts.render({
        promptId: "YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
        variables: {
            user_input: "Tell me about artificial intelligence"
        }
    });

    // Configure OpenAI client with Portkey
    const openaiClient = new OpenAI({
        baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!,
        defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
            provider:"@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
        })
    });
    setDefaultOpenAIClient(openaiClient);

    // Use the rendered prompt in your OpenAI Agent
    const agent = new Agent({
        name: "Assistant",
        instructions: promptData.data.messages[0].content, // Use the rendered prompt as instructions
        model: "gpt-4o"
    });

    const result = await run(agent, "Tell me about artificial intelligence");
    console.log(result.finalOutput);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Prompt Versioning">
    You can:

    * Create multiple versions of the same prompt
    * Compare performance between versions
    * Roll back to previous versions if needed
    * Specify which version to use in your code:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    // Use a specific prompt version
    const promptData = await portkeyClient.prompts.render({
        promptId: "YOUR_PROMPT_ID@version_number",
        variables: {
            user_input: "Tell me about quantum computing"
        }
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Mustache Templating for variables">
    Portkey prompts use Mustache-style templating for easy variable substitution:

    ```
    You are an AI assistant helping with {{task_type}}.

    User question: {{user_input}}

    Please respond in a {{tone}} tone and include {{required_elements}}.
    ```

    When rendering, simply pass the variables:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    const promptData = await portkeyClient.prompts.render({
        promptId: "YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
        variables: {
            task_type: "research",
            user_input: "Tell me about quantum computing",
            tone: "professional",

### 4. Guardrails for Safe Agents

Guardrails ensure your OpenAI Agents operate safely and respond appropriately in all situations.

**Why Use Guardrails?**

OpenAI Agents can experience various failure modes:

* Generating harmful or inappropriate content
* Leaking sensitive information like PII
* Hallucinating incorrect information
* Generating outputs in incorrect formats

Portkey's guardrails protect against these issues by validating both inputs and outputs.

**Implementing Guardrails**

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from 'portkey-ai';
import { OpenAI } from 'openai';
import { setDefaultOpenAIClient } from '@openai/agents';

// Create a config with input and output guardrails, It's recommended you create Config in Portkey App and pass the config ID in the client
const config = {
    "provider":"@openai-xxx",
    "input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"],
    "output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx"]
};

// Configure OpenAI client with guardrails
const portkey = new OpenAI({
    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!,
    defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
        config: config,
        provider:"@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
    })
});
setDefaultOpenAIClient(portkey);
```

Portkey's guardrails can:

* Detect and redact PII in both inputs and outputs
* Filter harmful or inappropriate content
* Validate response formats against schemas
* Check for hallucinations against ground truth
* Apply custom business logic and rules

### 5. User Tracking with Metadata

Track individual users through your OpenAI Agents using Portkey's metadata system.

**What is Metadata in Portkey?**

Metadata allows you to associate custom data with each request, enabling filtering, segmentation, and analytics. The special `_user` field is specifically designed for user tracking.

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from 'portkey-ai';
import { OpenAI } from 'openai';
import { setDefaultOpenAIClient } from '@openai/agents';

// Configure client with user tracking
const portkey = new OpenAI({
    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!,
    defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
        provider:"@YOUR_LLM_PROVIDER",
        metadata: {
            "_user": "user_123", // Special _user field for user analytics
            "user_name": "John Doe",
            "user_tier": "premium",
            "user_company": "Acme Corp"
        }
    })
});
setDefaultOpenAIClient(portkey);
```

**Filter Analytics by User**

With metadata in place, you can filter analytics by user and analyze performance metrics on a per-user basis:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

This enables:

* Per-user cost tracking and budgeting
* Personalized user analytics
* Team or organization-level metrics
* Environment-specific monitoring (staging vs. production)

### 6. Caching for Efficient Agents

Implement caching to make your OpenAI Agents agents more efficient and cost-effective:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Simple Caching">
    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    const portkeyConfig = {
      "cache": {
        "mode": "simple"
      },
      "provider":"@YOUR_LLM_PROVIDER"
    };

    // Configure OpenAI client with chosen provider
    const portkey = new OpenAI({
        baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!,
        defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
            config: portkeyConfig
        })
    });
    setDefaultOpenAIClient(portkey);
    ```

    Simple caching performs exact matches on input prompts, caching identical requests to avoid redundant model executions.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Semantic Caching">
    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    const portkeyConfig = {
      "cache": {
        "mode": "semantic"
      },
      "provider":"@YOUR_LLM_PROVIDER"
    };

    // Configure OpenAI client with chosen provider
    const portkey = new OpenAI({
        baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!,
        defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
            config: portkeyConfig
        })
    });
    setDefaultOpenAIClient(portkey);
    ```

    Semantic caching considers the contextual similarity between input requests, caching responses for semantically similar inputs.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 7. Model Interoperability

With Portkey, you can easily switch between different LLMs in your OpenAI Agents without changing your core agent logic.

```typescript theme={"system"}
// Configure Portkey with different LLM providers
import { createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from 'portkey-ai';
import { OpenAI } from 'openai';
import { setDefaultOpenAIClient, Agent, run } from '@openai/agents';

// Using OpenAI
const openaiConfig = {
    "provider": "openai",
    "api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY",
    "override_params": {
        "model": "gpt-4o"
    }
};

// Using Anthropic
const anthropicConfig = {
    "provider": "anthropic",
    "api_key": "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY",
    "override_params": {
        "model": "claude-3-opus-20240229"
    }
};

// Choose which config to use
const activeConfig = openaiConfig;  // or anthropicConfig

// Configure OpenAI client with chosen provider
const portkey = new OpenAI({
    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY!,
    defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
        config: activeConfig
    })
});
setDefaultOpenAIClient(portkey);

// Create and run agent - no changes needed in agent code
const agent = new Agent({
    name: "Assistant",
    instructions: "You are a helpful assistant.",
    // The model specified here will be used as a reference but the actual model
    // is determined by the activeConfig
    model: "gpt-4o"
});

const result = await run(agent, "Tell me about quantum computing.");
console.log(result.finalOutput);
```

Portkey provides access to over 200 LLMs through a unified interface, including:

* OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, etc.)
* Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, etc.)
* Mistral AI (Mistral Large, Mistral Medium, etc.)
* Google Vertex AI (Gemini 1.5 Pro, etc.)
* Cohere (Command, Command-R, etc.)
* AWS Bedrock (Claude, Titan, etc.)
* Local/Private Models

## Set Up Enterprise Governance for OpenAI Agents

**Why Enterprise Governance?**
If you are using OpenAI Agents inside your orgnaization, you need to consider several governance aspects:

* **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
* **Access Control**: Managing which teams can use specific models
* **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
* **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
* **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users

Portkey adds a comprehensive governance layer to address these enterprise needs. Let's implement these controls step by step.

**Enterprise Implementation Guide**

Portkey allows you to use 1600+ LLMs with your OpenAI Agents setup, with minimal configuration required. Let's set up the core components in Portkey that you'll need for integration.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Integrate your LLM">
    Virtual Keys are Portkey's secure way to manage your LLM provider API keys. Think of them like disposable credit cards for your LLM API keys, providing essential controls like:

    * Budget limits for API usage
    * Rate limiting capabilities
    * Secure API key storage

    To create a virtual key:
    Go to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in the Portkey App. Save and copy the virtual key ID

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      Save your virtual key ID - you'll need it for the next step.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Default Config">
    Configs in Portkey are JSON objects that define how your requests are routed. They help with implementing features like advanced routing, fallbacks, and retries.

    We need to create a default config to route our requests to the virtual key created in Step 1.

    To create your config:

    1. Go to [Configs](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new config with:
       ```json theme={"system"}
       {
           "provider":"@YOUR_PROVIDER_FROM_STEP1",
          	"override_params": {
             "model": "gpt-4o" // Your preferred model name
           }
       }

       ```
    3. Save and note the Config name for the next step

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      This basic config connects to your virtual key. You can add more advanced portkey features later.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Portkey API Key">
    Now create Portkey API key access point and attach the config you created in Step 2:

    1. Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) in Portkey and Create new API key
    2. Select your config from `Step 2`
    3. Generate and save your API key

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      Save your API key securely - you'll need it for OpenAI Agents integration.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Once you have created your API Key after attaching default config, you can directly pass the API key + base URL in the OpenAI client. Here's how:

    ```typescript theme={"system"}
    import { createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from 'portkey-ai';
    import { OpenAI } from 'openai';

    const client = new OpenAI({
        apiKey: "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY", // Your Portkey API Key from Step 3
        baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
    });

    // your rest of the code remains same
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Virtual Keys enable granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new Virtual Key for each department with budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure department-specific limits

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with features like:

    #### Access Control Features:

    * **Model Restrictions**: Limit access to specific models
    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks and retry logic

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to route requests to OpenAI, specifically using GPT-4o:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
    	"strategy": {
    		"mode": "single"
    	},
    	"targets": [
    		{
    			"provider":"@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER",
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "gpt-4o"
    			}
    		}
    	]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard. You'll need the config ID for connecting to OpenAI Agents's setup.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 3: Implement Access Controls">
    ### Step 3: Implement Access Controls

    Create User-specific API keys that automatically:

    * Track usage per user/team with the help of metadata
    * Apply appropriate configs to route requests
    * Collect relevant metadata to filter logs
    * Enforce access permissions

    Create API keys through:

    * [Portkey App](https://app.portkey.ai/)
    * [API Key Management API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key)

# OpenAI Swarm
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/agents/openai-swarm

The Portkey x Swarm integration brings advanced AI gateway capabilities, full-stack observability, and reliability features to build production-ready AI agents.

Swarm is an experimental framework by OpenAI for building multi-agent systems. It showcases the handoff & routines pattern, making agent coordination and execution lightweight, highly controllable, and easily testable. Portkey integration extends Swarm's capabilities with production-ready features like observability, reliability, and more.

## Getting Started

<Steps>
  <Step>
    ### 1. Install the Portkey SDK

    ```sh theme={"system"}
    pip install -U portkey-ai
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### 2. Configure the LLM Client used in OpenAI Swarm

    To build Swarm Agents with Portkey, you'll need two keys:

    * **Portkey API Key**: Sign up on the [Portkey app](https://app.portkey.ai) and copy your API key.

    * **Provider**: Add your LLM provider in [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) to get a provider slug (e.g., `@openai-prod`)

    ```py theme={"system"}
    from swarm import Swarm, Agent
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
        provider="@YOUR_PROVIDER" 
        )

    client = Swarm(client=portkey)
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### 3. Create and Run an Agent

    In this example we are building a simple Weather Agent using OpenAI Swarm with Portkey.

    ```py theme={"system"}
    def get_weather(location) -> str:
        return "{'temp':67, 'unit':'F'}"


    agent = Agent(
        name="Agent",
        instructions="You are a helpful agent.",
        functions=[get_weather],
    )

    messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in NYC?"}]

    response = client.run(agent=agent, messages=messages)
    print(response.messages[-1]["content"])
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## E2E example with Function Calling in OpenAI Swarm

Here's a complete example showing function calling and agent interaction:

```py theme={"system"}
from swarm import Swarm, Agent
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
    provider="@YOUR_PROVIDER" 
    )

client = Swarm(client=portkey)


def get_weather(location) -> str:
    return "{'temp':67, 'unit':'F'}"


agent = Agent(
    name="Agent",
    instructions="You are a helpful agent.",
    functions=[get_weather],
)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in NYC?"}]

response = client.run(agent=agent, messages=messages)
print(response.messages[-1]["content"])
```

> The current temperature in New York City is 67°F.

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## 1. Interoperability - Calling Different LLMs

When building with Swarm, you might want to experiment with different LLMs or use specific providers for different agent tasks. Portkey makes this seamless - you can switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, or cloud providers without changing your agent code.

Instead of managing multiple API keys and provider-specific configurations, Portkey's Model Catalog gives you a single point of control. Here's how you can use different LLMs with your Swarm agents:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Anthropic">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER" #Just change the provider slug to your preferred LLM provider
    )

    client = Swarm(client=portkey)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Azure OpenAI">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="@AZURE_OPENAI_PROVIDER" #Just change the provider slug to your preferred LLM provider
    )

    client = Swarm(client=portkey)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## 2. Caching - Speed Up Agent Responses

Agent operations often involve repetitive queries or similar tasks. Every time your agent makes an LLM call, you're paying for tokens and waiting for responses. Portkey's caching system can significantly reduce both costs and latency.

Portkey offers two powerful caching modes:

**Simple Cache**: Perfect for exact matches - when your agents make identical requests. Ideal for deterministic operations like function calling or FAQ-type queries.

**Semantic Cache**: Uses embedding-based matching to identify similar queries. Great for natural language interactions where users might ask the same thing in different ways.

```python theme={"system"}
config = {
    "cache": {
        "mode": "semantic",  # or "simple" for exact matching
        "max_age": 3600000  # cache duration in milliseconds
    }
}

portkey = Portkey(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    provider="@YOUR_PROVIDER",
    config=config
)
```

## 3. Reliability - Keep Your Agents Running Smoothly

When running agents in production, things can go wrong - API rate limits, network issues, or provider outages. Portkey's reliability features ensure your agents keep running smoothly even when problems occur.

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Automatic Retries" icon="rotate" href="../../product/ai-gateway/automatic-retries">
    Handles temporary failures automatically. If an LLM call fails, Portkey will retry the same request for the specified number of times - perfect for rate limits or network blips.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Request Timeouts" icon="clock" href="../../product/ai-gateway/request-timeouts">
    Prevent your agents from hanging. Set timeouts to ensure you get responses (or can fail gracefully) within your required timeframes.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Conditional Routing" icon="route" href="../../product/ai-gateway/conditional-routing">
    Send different requests to different providers. Route complex reasoning to GPT-4, creative tasks to Claude, and quick responses to Gemini based on your needs.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Fallbacks" icon="shield" href="../../product/ai-gateway/fallbacks">
    Keep running even if your primary provider fails. Automatically switch to backup providers to maintain availability.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Load Balancing" icon="scale-balanced" href="../../product/ai-gateway/load-balancing">
    Spread requests across multiple API keys or providers. Great for high-volume agent operations and staying within rate limits.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## 4. [Observability - Understand Your Agents](/product/observability)

Building agents is the first step - but how do you know they're working effectively? Portkey provides comprehensive visibility into your agent operations through multiple lenses:

**Metrics Dashboard**: Track 40+ key performance indicators like:

* Cost per agent interaction
* Response times and latency
* Token usage and efficiency
* Success/failure rates
* Cache hit rates

#### Send Custom Metadata with your requests

Add trace IDs to track specific workflows:

```python theme={"system"}
portkey = Portkey(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    provider="@YOUR_PROVIDER",
    trace_id="weather_workflow_123",
    metadata={
        "agent": "weather_agent",
        "environment": "production"
    }
)
```

## 5. [Logs and Traces](/product/observability/logs)

Logs are essential for understanding agent behavior, diagnosing issues, and improving performance. They provide a detailed record of agent activities and tool use, which is crucial for debugging and optimizing processes.

Access a dedicated section to view records of agent executions, including parameters, outcomes, function calls, and errors. Filter logs based on multiple parameters such as trace ID, model, tokens used, and metadata.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## 6. [Security & Compliance - Enterprise-Ready Controls](/product/enterprise-offering/security-portkey)

When deploying agents in production, security is crucial. Portkey provides enterprise-grade security features:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Budget Controls" icon="money-bill">
    Set and monitor spending limits per provider. Get alerts before costs exceed thresholds.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Access Management" icon="lock">
    Control who can access what. Assign roles and permissions for your team members.
  </Card>

</CardGroup>

Configure these settings in the [Portkey Dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai) or programmatically through the API.

## 7. Continuous Improvement

Now that you know how to trace & log your Llamaindex requests to Portkey, you can also start capturing user feedback to improve your app!

You can append qualitative as well as quantitative feedback to any `trace ID` with the `portkey.feedback.create` method:

```py Adding Feedback theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    provider="@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER"
)

feedback = portkey.feedback.create(
    trace_id="YOUR_LLAMAINDEX_TRACE_ID",
    value=5,  # Integer between -10 and 10
    weight=1,  # Optional
    metadata={
        # Pass any additional context here like comments, _user and more
    }
)

print(feedback)
```

## [Portkey Config](/product/ai-gateway/configs)

Many of these features are driven by Portkey's Config architecture. The Portkey app simplifies creating, managing, and versioning your Configs.

Implement fallbacks, gain granular insights into agent performance and costs, and continuously optimize your AI operations—all with just 2 lines of code.

Let's dive deep! Let's go through each of the use cases!

### 1. [Interoperability](/product/ai-gateway/universal-api)

Easily switch between 1600+ LLMs. Call various LLMs such as Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, and many more by simply changing the `provider ` and `API key` in the `ChatOpenAI` object.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="OpenAI to Azure OpenAI">
    If you are using OpenAI with Phidata, your code would look like this:

    ```py theme={"system"}
    llm = OpenAIChat(
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key="OPENAI_API_KEY", #Replace with Your OpenAI Key
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="openai",
            api_key=userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY')  # Replace with your Portkey API key
        )
    )
    ```

    To switch to Azure as your provider, add your Azure details to Portley and create an integration ([here's how](/integrations/llms/azure-openai)).

    ```py theme={"system"}
    llm = OpenAIChat(
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key="api_key", #We will be using Virtual Key
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="azure-openai",
            api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
            provider="@AZURE_OPENAI_KEY"
        )
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Anthropic to AWS Bedrock">
    If you are using Anthropic with Phidata, your code would look like this:

    ```py theme={"system"}
    llm = OpenAIChat(
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key="ANTHROPIC_API_KEY", #Replace with Your OpenAI Key
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="anthropic",
            api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"  # Replace with your Portkey API key
        )
    )
    ```

    To switch to AWS Bedrock as your provider, add your AWS Bedrock details to Portley and create an integration ([here's how](/integrations/llms/aws-bedrock)).

    ```py theme={"system"}
    llm = OpenAIChat(
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        api_key="api_key", #We will be using Virtual Key
        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="bedrock",
            api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
            provider="@BEDROCK_OPENAI_KEY" #Bedrock Virtual Key
        )
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. [Reliability](/product/ai-gateway)

Agents are *brittle*. Long agentic pipelines with multiple steps can fail at any stage, disrupting the entire process. Portkey solves this by offering built-in **fallbacks** between different LLMs or providers, **load-balancing** across multiple instances or API keys, and implementing automatic **retries** and request **timeouts**. This makes your agents more reliable and resilient.

Here's how you can implement these features using Portkey's config

```py theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 5
  },
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance" // Choose between "loadbalance" or "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "api_key": "OpenAI_API_Key"
    },
    {
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "api_key": "Anthropic_API_Key"
    }
  ]
}
```

### 3. [Metrics](/product/observability)

Agent runs can be costly. Tracking agent metrics is crucial for understanding the performance and reliability of your AI agents. Metrics help identify issues, optimize runs, and ensure that your agents meet their intended goals.

Portkey automatically logs comprehensive metrics for your AI agents, including **cost**, **tokens used**, **latency**, etc. Whether you need a broad overview or granular insights into your agent runs, Portkey's customizable filters provide the metrics you need. For agent-specific observability, add `Trace-id` to the request headers for each agent.

```py theme={"system"}
llm2 = ChatOpenAI(
    api_key="Anthropic_API_Key",
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="anthropic",
        trace_id="research_agent1" #Add individual trace-id for your agent analytics
    )
)
```

### 4. [Logs](/product/observability/logs)

Agent runs are complex. Logs are essential for diagnosing issues, understanding agent behavior, and improving performance. They provide a detailed record of agent activities and tool use, which is crucial for debugging and optimizing processes.

Portkey offers comprehensive logging features that capture detailed information about every action and decision made by your AI agents. Access a dedicated section to view records of agent executions, including parameters, outcomes, function calls, and errors. Filter logs based on multiple parameters such as trace ID, model, tokens used, and metadata.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### 5. [Continuous Improvement](/product/observability/feedback)

Improve your Agent runs by capturing qualitative & quantitative user feedback on your requests. Portkey's Feedback APIs provide a simple way to get weighted feedback from customers on any request you served, at any stage in your app. You can capture this feedback on a request or conversation level and analyze it by adding meta data to the relevant request.

### 6. [Caching](/product/ai-gateway/cache-simple-and-semantic)

Agent runs are time-consuming and expensive due to their complex pipelines. Caching can significantly reduce these costs by storing frequently used data and responses. Portkey offers a built-in caching system that stores past responses, reducing the need for agent calls saving both time and money.

```py theme={"system"}
{
 "cache": {
    "mode": "semantic" // Choose between "simple" or "semantic"
 }
}
```

### 7. [Security & Compliance](/product/enterprise-offering/security-portkey)

Set budget limits on provider API keys and implement fine-grained user roles and permissions for both the app and the Portkey APIs.

## [Portkey Config](/product/ai-gateway/configs)

Many of these features are driven by Portkey's Config architecture. The Portkey app simplifies creating, managing, and versioning your Configs.

### Installation & Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the required packages">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    pip install -U pydantic-ai openai
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Portkey Client">
    Since Portkey is OpenAI SDK compatible, you can use the standard OpenAI client with Portkey's gateway URL:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
    from pydantic_ai import Agent
    from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
    from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

    # Set up Portkey client using OpenAI SDK
    portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
    )
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect to PydanticAI">
    After setting up your Portkey client, integrate it with PydanticAI:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Connect Portkey client to a PydanticAI model
    agent = Agent(
        model=OpenAIModel(
            model_name="@openai-team-1/gpt-4o",  # Use Portkey's model format
            provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_client),
        ),
        system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant."
    )
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Basic Agent Implementation

Let's create a simple structured output agent with PydanticAI and Portkey. This agent will respond to a query about Formula 1 and return structured data:

```python theme={"system"}
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

# Set up Portkey client
portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
)

# Define structured output using Pydantic
class F1GrandPrix(BaseModel):
    gp_name: str = Field(description="Grand Prix name, e.g. `Emilia Romagna Grand Prix`")
    year: int = Field(description="The year of the Grand Prix")
    constructor_winner: str = Field(description="The winning constructor of the Grand Prix")
    podium: list[str] = Field(description="Names of the podium drivers (1st, 2nd, 3rd)")

# Create the agent with structured output type
f1_gp_agent = Agent[None, F1GrandPrix](
    model=OpenAIModel(
        model_name="@openai-team-1/gpt-4o",
        provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_client),
    ),
    output_type=F1GrandPrix,
    system_prompt="Assist the user by providing data about the specified Formula 1 Grand Prix"
)

# Run the agent
async def main():
    result = await f1_gp_agent.run("Las Vegas 2023")
    print(result.output)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import asyncio
    asyncio.run(main())
```

The output will be a structured `F1GrandPrix` object with all fields properly typed and validated:

```json theme={"system"}
gp_name='Las Vegas Grand Prix'
year=2023
constructor_winner='Red Bull Racing'
podium=['Max Verstappen', 'Charles Leclerc', 'Sergio Pérez']
```

You can also use the synchronous API if preferred:

```python theme={"system"}
result = f1_gp_agent.run_sync("Las Vegas 2023")
print(result.output)
```

## Advanced Features

### Using Portkey Headers for Enhanced Features

When you need additional Portkey features like tracing, metadata, or configs, you can add headers to your client:

```python theme={"system"}
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

# Set up Portkey client with additional features
portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers={
        "x-portkey-trace-id": "f1-data-request",
        "x-portkey-metadata": '{"app_env": "production", "_user": "user_123"}',
        "x-portkey-config": "your-config-id"
    }
)

# Create agent with enhanced Portkey features
agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIModel(
        model_name="@openai-team-1/gpt-4o",
        provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_client),
    ),
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant."
)
```

### Working with Images

PydanticAI supports multimodal inputs including images. Here's how to use Portkey with a vision model:

```python theme={"system"}
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from pydantic_ai import Agent, ImageUrl
from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

# Set up Portkey client
portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers={"x-portkey-trace-id": "vision-request"}
)

# Create a vision-capable agent
vision_agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIModel(
        model_name="@openai-team-1/gpt-4o",  # Vision-capable model
        provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_client),
    ),
    system_prompt="Analyze images and provide detailed descriptions."
)

# Process an image
result = vision_agent.run_sync([
    'What company is this logo from?',
    ImageUrl(url='https://iili.io/3Hs4FMg.png'),
])
print(result.output)
```

Visit your Portkey dashboard to see detailed logs of this image analysis request, including token usage and costs.

### Tools and Tool Calls

PydanticAI provides a powerful tools system that integrates seamlessly with Portkey. Here's how to create an agent with tools:

```python theme={"system"}
import random
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from pydantic_ai import Agent, RunContext
from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

# Set up Portkey client
portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers={"x-portkey-trace-id": "dice-game-session"}
)

# Create an agent with dependency injection (player name)
dice_agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIModel(
        model_name="@openai-team-1/gpt-4o",
        provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_client),
    ),
    deps_type=str,  # Dependency type (player name as string)
    system_prompt=(
        "You're a dice game host. Roll the die and see if it matches "
        "the user's guess. If so, tell them they're a winner. "
        "Use the player's name in your response."
    ),
)

# Define a plain tool (no context needed)
@dice_agent.tool_plain
def roll_die() -> str:
    """Roll a six-sided die and return the result."""
    return str(random.randint(1, 6))

# Define a tool that uses the dependency
@dice_agent.tool
def get_player_name(ctx: RunContext[str]) -> str:
    """Get the player's name."""
    return ctx.deps

# Run the agent
dice_result = dice_agent.run_sync('My guess is 4', deps='Anne')
print(dice_result.output)
```

<Info>
  Portkey logs each tool call separately, allowing you to analyze the full execution path of your agent, including both LLM calls and tool invocations.
</Info>

### Multi-agent Applications

PydanticAI excels at creating multi-agent systems where agents can call each other. Here's how to integrate Portkey with a multi-agent setup:

This multi-agent system uses three specialized agents:
`search_agent` - Orchestrates the flow and validates flight selections
`extraction_agent` - Extracts structured flight data from raw text
`seat_preference_agent` - Interprets user's seat preferences

With Portkey integration, you get:

* Unified tracing across all three agents
* Token and cost tracking for the entire workflow
* Ability to set usage limits across the entire system
* Observability of both AI and human interaction points

Here's a diagram of how these agents interact:

```mermaid theme={"system"}
graph TD
  A[START] --> B[search agent]
  B --> C[extraction agent]
  C --> B
  B --> D[human confirm]
  D --> E[find seat function]
  B --> F[FAILED]
  E --> G[human seat choice]
  G --> H[find seat agent]
  H --> E
  E --> I[buy flights]
  I --> J[SUCCESS]

Portkey preserves all the type safety of PydanticAI while adding production monitoring and reliability.

## Production Features

### 1. Enhanced Observability

Portkey provides comprehensive observability for your PydanticAI agents, helping you understand exactly what's happening during each execution.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Traces">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Traces provide a hierarchical view of your agent's execution, showing the sequence of LLM calls, tool invocations, and state transitions.

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Add trace_id to enable hierarchical tracing in Portkey
    portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers={"x-portkey-trace-id": "unique-session-id"}
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Logs">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Portkey logs every interaction with LLMs, including:

    * Complete request and response payloads
    * Latency and token usage metrics
    * Cost calculations
    * Tool calls and function executions

    All logs can be filtered by metadata, trace IDs, models, and more, making it easy to debug specific agent runs.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Metrics & Dashboards">
    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Portkey provides built-in dashboards that help you:

    * Track cost and token usage across all agent runs
    * Analyze performance metrics like latency and success rates
    * Identify bottlenecks in your agent workflows
    * Compare different agent configurations and LLMs

    You can filter and segment all metrics by custom metadata to analyze specific agent types, user groups, or use cases.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Metadata Filtering">
    <Frame>
      <img alt="Analytics with metadata filters" />
    </Frame>

    Add custom metadata to your PydanticAI agent calls to enable powerful filtering and segmentation:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers={
            "x-portkey-metadata": '{"agent_type": "weather_agent", "environment": "production", "_user": "user_123", "request_source": "mobile_app"}'
        }
    )
    ```

    This metadata can be used to filter logs, traces, and metrics on the Portkey dashboard, allowing you to analyze specific agent runs, users, or environments.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. OpenTelemetry Integration

For comprehensive monitoring and observability, Portkey supports OpenTelemetry integration through various libraries:

```python theme={"system"}
import openlit

# Initialize OpenLit with Portkey's OTel endpoint
openlit.init(
    otlp_endpoint="https://api.portkey.ai/v1/otel",
    otlp_headers={
        "x-portkey-api-key": "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
    }
)

# Your PydanticAI agents will now send telemetry data to Portkey
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
)

agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIModel(
        model_name="@openai-team-1/gpt-4o",
        provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_client),
    ),
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant."
)
```

</Card>

### 3. Reliability - Keep Your Agents Running Smoothly

When running agents in production, things can go wrong - API rate limits, network issues, or provider outages. Portkey's reliability features ensure your agents keep running smoothly even when problems occur.

It's simple to enable fallback in your PydanticAI agents by using a Portkey Config:

```python theme={"system"}
from openai import AsyncOpenAI

# Create Portkey client with fallback config
portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers={
        "x-portkey-config": "your-fallback-config-id"
    }
)
```

This configuration will automatically try Claude if the GPT-4o request fails, ensuring your agent can continue operating.

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Automatic Retries" icon="rotate" href="../../product/ai-gateway/automatic-retries">
    Handles temporary failures automatically. If an LLM call fails, Portkey will retry the same request for the specified number of times - perfect for rate limits or network blips.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Request Timeouts" icon="clock" href="../../product/ai-gateway/request-timeouts">
    Prevent your agents from hanging. Set timeouts to ensure you get responses (or can fail gracefully) within your required timeframes.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Conditional Routing" icon="route" href="../../product/ai-gateway/conditional-routing">
    Send different requests to different providers. Route complex reasoning to GPT-4, creative tasks to Claude, and quick responses to Gemini based on your needs.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Fallbacks" icon="shield" href="../../product/ai-gateway/fallbacks">
    Keep running even if your primary provider fails. Automatically switch to backup providers to maintain availability.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Load Balancing" icon="scale-balanced" href="../../product/ai-gateway/load-balancing">
    Spread requests across multiple API keys or providers. Great for high-volume agent operations and staying within rate limits.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### 4. Guardrails for Safe Agents

Guardrails ensure your PydanticAI agents operate safely and respond appropriately in all situations.

**Why Use Guardrails?**

PydanticAI agents can experience various failure modes:

* Generating harmful or inappropriate content
* Leaking sensitive information like PII
* Hallucinating incorrect information
* Generating outputs in incorrect formats

While PydanticAI provides type safety for outputs, Portkey's guardrails add additional protections for both inputs and outputs.

**Implementing Guardrails**

```python theme={"system"}
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

# Create Portkey client with guardrails
portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers={
        "x-portkey-config": "your-guardrails-config-id"
    }
)

# Create agent with Portkey-enabled client
agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIModel(
        model_name="@openai-team-1/gpt-4o",
        provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_client),
    ),
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant."
)
```

Portkey's guardrails can:

* Detect and redact PII in both inputs and outputs
* Filter harmful or inappropriate content
* Validate response formats against schemas
* Check for hallucinations against ground truth
* Apply custom business logic and rules

</Card>

### 5. User Tracking with Metadata

Track individual users through your PydanticAI agents using Portkey's metadata system.

**What is Metadata in Portkey?**

Metadata allows you to associate custom data with each request, enabling filtering, segmentation, and analytics. The special `_user` field is specifically designed for user tracking.

```python theme={"system"}
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

# Configure client with user tracking
portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers={
        "x-portkey-metadata": '{"_user": "user_123", "user_tier": "premium", "user_company": "Acme Corp", "session_id": "abc-123"}'
    }
)

# Create agent with Portkey client
agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIModel(
        model_name="@openai-team-1/gpt-4o",
        provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_client),
    ),
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant."
)
```

**Filter Analytics by User**

With metadata in place, you can filter analytics by user and analyze performance metrics on a per-user basis:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

This enables:

* Per-user cost tracking and budgeting
* Personalized user analytics
* Team or organization-level metrics
* Environment-specific monitoring (staging vs. production)

### 6. Caching for Efficient Agents

Implement caching to make your PydanticAI agents more efficient and cost-effective:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Simple Caching">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
    from pydantic_ai import Agent
    from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
    from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

    # Configure Portkey client with simple caching
    portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers={
            "x-portkey-config": "your-simple-cache-config-id"
        }
    )

    # Create agent with cached LLM calls
    agent = Agent(
        model=OpenAIModel(
            model_name="@openai-team-1/gpt-4o",
            provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_client),
        ),
        system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant."
    )
    ```

    Simple caching performs exact matches on input prompts, caching identical requests to avoid redundant model executions.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Semantic Caching">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
    from pydantic_ai import Agent
    from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
    from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

    # Configure Portkey client with semantic caching
    portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers={
            "x-portkey-config": "your-semantic-cache-config-id"
        }
    )

    # Create agent with semantically cached LLM calls
    agent = Agent(
        model=OpenAIModel(
            model_name="@openai-team-1/gpt-4o",
            provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_client),
        ),
        system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant."
    )
    ```

    Semantic caching considers the contextual similarity between input requests, caching responses for semantically similar inputs.
  </Tab>

### 7. Model Interoperability

PydanticAI supports multiple LLM providers, and Portkey extends this capability by providing access to over 200 LLMs through a unified interface. You can easily switch between different models without changing your core agent logic:

```python theme={"system"}
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

# OpenAI with Portkey
portkey_openai = AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
)

# Anthropic with Portkey
portkey_anthropic = AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
)

# Create agents with different models
openai_agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIModel(
        model_name="@openai-team-1/gpt-4o",
        provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_openai),
    ),
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant."
)

anthropic_agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIModel(
        model_name="@anthropic-team-1/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
        provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_anthropic),
    ),
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant."
)

# Choose which agent to use based on your needs
active_agent = openai_agent  # or anthropic_agent

result = active_agent.run_sync("Tell me about quantum computing.")
print(result.output)
```

Portkey provides access to LLMs from providers including:

* OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, etc.)
* Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, etc.)
* Mistral AI (Mistral Large, Mistral Medium, etc.)
* Google Vertex AI (Gemini 1.5 Pro, etc.)
* Cohere (Command, Command-R, etc.)
* AWS Bedrock (Claude, Titan, etc.)
* Local/Private Models

## Set Up Enterprise Governance for PydanticAI

**Why Enterprise Governance?**
If you are using PydanticAI inside your organization, you need to consider several governance aspects:

* **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
* **Access Control**: Managing which teams can use specific models
* **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
* **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
* **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users

Portkey adds a comprehensive governance layer to address these enterprise needs. Let's implement these controls step by step.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create API Key with Config">
    Since Portkey now uses the model format like `@team-name/model-name`, you can specify your team and model directly without needing virtual keys. Create a Portkey API key with an attached config:

    1. Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) in Portkey and Create new API key
    2. Optionally attach a config for advanced routing, fallbacks, and reliability features
    3. Generate and save your API key

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Model Access">
    Use Portkey's model naming format to specify which team/provider can access which models:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
    from pydantic_ai import Agent
    from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
    from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

    # Configure Portkey client with team-specific model access
    portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
    )

    # Create agent with team-specific model
    agent = Agent(
        model=OpenAIModel(
            model_name="@engineering-team/gpt-4o",  # Team-specific model access
            provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_client),
        ),
        system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant."
    )
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Enhanced Features with Headers">
    For additional governance features like tracing, metadata, and configs, add headers as needed:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
    from pydantic_ai import Agent
    from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIModel
    from pydantic_ai.providers.openai import OpenAIProvider

    # Configure Portkey client with governance features
    portkey_client = AsyncOpenAI(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        default_headers={
            "x-portkey-trace-id": "engineering-session",
            "x-portkey-metadata": '{"department": "engineering", "environment": "production"}',
            "x-portkey-config": "your-governance-config-id"
        }
    )

    # Create agent with governance controls
    agent = Agent(
        model=OpenAIModel(
            model_name="@engineering-team/gpt-4o",
            provider=OpenAIProvider(openai_client=portkey_client),
        ),
        system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant."
    )
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Create configs that enable granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up budget limits through usage tracking
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Configs](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new config for each department with appropriate controls
    3. Configure department-specific limits and routing

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. Portkey's model naming format and configs provide this control layer with features like:

    #### Access Control Features:

    * **Model Restrictions**: Limit access to specific models using team prefixes
    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks and retry logic

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to route requests to OpenAI, specifically using GPT-4o for the engineering team:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "override_params": { "model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o" }
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 3: Implement Access Controls">
    ### Step 3: Implement Access Controls

    Create team-specific API keys that automatically:

    * Track usage per user/team with metadata
    * Apply appropriate configs to route requests
    * Collect relevant metadata to filter logs
    * Enforce access permissions

    Create API keys through:

    * [Portkey App](https://app.portkey.ai/)
    * [API Key Management API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key)

    Example using Python SDK:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY")

    api_key = portkey.api_keys.create(
        name="engineering-team",
        type="organisation",
        workspace_id="YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
        defaults={
            "config_id": "your-config-id",
            "metadata": {
                "environment": "production",
                "department": "engineering"
            }
        },
        scopes=["logs.view", "configs.read"]
    )
    ```

    For detailed key management instructions, see our [API Keys documentation](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Deploy & Monitor">
    ### Step 4: Deploy & Monitor

    After distributing API keys to your team members, your enterprise-ready PydanticAI setup is ready to go. Each team member can now use their designated API keys with appropriate access levels and governance controls.

</Card>

## Quick Start

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install Dependencies">
    ```bash theme={"system"}
    pip install -U strands-agents strands-agents-tools openai portkey-ai
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Replace Your Model Initialization">
    Instead of initializing your OpenAI model directly:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Before: Direct OpenAI
    from strands.models.openai import OpenAIModel

    model = OpenAIModel(
        client_args={"api_key": "sk-..."},
        model_id="gpt-4o",
        params={"temperature": 0.7}
    )
    ```

    Initialize it through Portkey's gateway:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # After: Through Portkey
    from strands.models.openai import OpenAIModel
    from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

    model = OpenAIModel(
        client_args={
            "api_key": "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Your Portkey API key
            "base_url": PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL     # Routes through Portkey
        },
        model_id="gpt-4o",
        params={"temperature": 0.7}
    )
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use Your Agent Normally">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from strands import Agent
    from strands_tools import calculator

    agent = Agent(model=model, tools=[calculator])
    response = agent("What is 2+2?")
    print(response)
    ```

    Your agent works exactly the same way, but now all interactions are automatically logged, traced, and monitored in your Portkey dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How the Integration Works

The integration leverages Strands' flexible `client_args` parameter, which passes any arguments directly to the OpenAI client constructor. By setting `base_url` to Portkey's gateway, all requests route through Portkey while maintaining full compatibility with the OpenAI API.

```python theme={"system"}
# This is what happens under the hood in Strands:
client_args = client_args or {}
self.client = openai.OpenAI(**client_args)  # Your Portkey config gets passed here
```

This means you get all of Portkey's features without any changes to your agent logic, tool usage, or response handling.

## Setting Up Portkey

Before using the integration, you need to configure your AI providers and create a Portkey API key.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add Your AI Provider Keys">
    Go to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in the Portkey dashboard and add your actual AI provider keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.). Each provider key gets a virtual key ID that you'll reference in configs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a Configuration">
    Go to [Configs](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) to define how requests should be routed. A basic config looks like:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
     "provider":"@openai-key-abc123"
    }
    ```

    For production setups, you can add fallbacks, load balancing, and conditional routing here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate Your Portkey API Key">
    Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) to create a new API key. Attach your config as the default routing config, and you'll get an API key that routes to your configured providers.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Complete Integration Example

Here's a full example showing how to set up a Strands agent with Portkey integration:

```python [expandable] theme={"system"}
from strands import Agent
from strands.models.openai import OpenAIModel
from strands_tools import calculator, web_search
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

# Initialize model through Portkey
model = OpenAIModel(
    client_args={
        "api_key": "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        "base_url": PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
    },
    model_id="gpt-4o",
    params={
        "max_tokens": 1000,
        "temperature": 0.7,
    }
)

# Create agent with tools (unchanged from standard Strands usage)
agent = Agent(
    model=model,
    tools=[calculator, web_search]
)

# Use the agent (unchanged from standard Strands usage)
response = agent("Calculate the compound interest on $10,000 at 5% for 10 years, then search for current inflation rates")
print(response)
```

The agent will automatically use both tools as needed, and every step will be logged in your Portkey dashboard with full request/response details, timing, and token usage.

## Production Features

### 1. Enhanced Observability

Portkey provides comprehensive visibility into your agent's behavior without requiring any code changes.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Request Tracing">
    Track the complete execution flow of your agents with hierarchical traces that show:

    * **LLM calls**: Every request to language models with full payloads
    * **Tool invocations**: Which tools were called, with what parameters, and their responses
    * **Decision points**: How the agent chose between different tools or approaches
    * **Performance metrics**: Latency, token usage, and cost for each step

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    ```python {11} theme={"system"}
    from strands import Agent
    from strands.models.openai import OpenAIModel
    from strands_tools import calculator
    from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

    model = OpenAIModel(
        client_args={
            "api_key": "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            "base_url": PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
            # Add trace ID to group related requests
            "default_headers": createHeaders(trace_id="user_session_123")
        },
        model_id="gpt-4o",
        params={"temperature": 0.7}
    )

    agent = Agent(model=model, tools=[calculator])
    response = agent("What's 15% of 2,847?")
    ```

    All requests from this agent will be grouped under the same trace, making it easy to analyze the complete interaction flow.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Custom Metadata">
    Add business context to your agent runs for better filtering and analysis:

    ```python {8-13} theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    model = OpenAIModel(
        client_args={
            "api_key": "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            "base_url": PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
            "default_headers": createHeaders(
                trace_id="customer_support_bot",
                metadata={
                    "agent_type": "customer_support",
                    "user_tier": "premium",
                    "session_id": "sess_789",
                    "department": "billing"
                }
            )
        },
        model_id="gpt-4o",
        params={"temperature": 0.3}  # Lower temperature for support tasks
    )
    ```

    This metadata appears in your Portkey dashboard, allowing you to filter logs and analyze performance by user type, session, or any custom dimension.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Real-time Monitoring">
    Monitor your agents in production with built-in dashboards that track:

    * **Success rates**: Percentage of successful agent completions
    * **Average latency**: Response times across different agent types
    * **Token usage**: Track consumption and costs across models
    * **Error patterns**: Common failure modes and their frequency

    All metrics can be segmented by the metadata you provide, giving you insights like "premium user agents have 15% higher success rates" or "billing department queries take 2x longer on average."
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Reliability & Fallbacks

When running agents in production, things can go wrong - API rate limits, network issues, or provider outages. Portkey's reliability features ensure your agents keep running smoothly even when problems occur.

It's simple to enable fallback in your Strands Agents by using a Portkey Config that you can attach at runtime or directly to your Portkey API key. Here's an example of attaching a Config at runtime:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Automatic Fallbacks">
    Configure multiple providers so your agents keep working even when one provider fails:

    ```python {7-18} theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    model = OpenAIModel(
        client_args={
            "api_key": "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            "base_url": PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
            "default_headers": createHeaders(
                config={
                    "strategy": {
                        "mode": "fallback",
                        "on_status_codes": [429, 503, 502]  # Rate limits and server errors
                    },
                    "targets": [
                        { "provider":"@openai-key-primary" },   # Try OpenAI first
                        { "provider":"@anthropic-key-backup" }  # Fall back to Claude
                    ]
                }
            )
        },
        model_id="gpt-4o",  # Will map to equivalent models on each provider
        params={"temperature": 0.7}
    )
    ```

    If OpenAI returns a rate limit error (429), Portkey automatically retries the request with Anthropic's Claude, using default model mappings.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Load Balancing">
    Distribute requests across multiple API keys to stay within rate limits:

    ```python {7-15} theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    model = OpenAIModel(
        client_args={
            "api_key": "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            "base_url": PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
            "default_headers": createHeaders(
                config={
                    "strategy": {"mode": "loadbalance"},
                    "targets": [
                        { "provider":"@openai-key-1", "weight": 70 },
                        { "provider":"@openai-key-2", "weight": 30 }
                    ]
                }
            )
        },
        model_id="gpt-4o",
        params={"temperature": 0.7}
    )
    ```

    Requests will be distributed 70/30 across your two OpenAI keys, helping you maximize throughput without hitting individual key limits.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Conditional Routing">
    Route requests to different providers/models based on custom logic (like metadata, input content, or user attributes) using Portkey's Conditional Routing feature.

    See the [Conditional Routing documentation](/product/ai-gateway/conditional-routing) for full guidance and advanced examples.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 3. LLM Interoperability

Access 1,600+ models through the same Strands interface by changing just the provider configuration:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Using Anthropic">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import createHeaders

    # Use Claude instead of GPT-4
    model = OpenAIModel(
        client_args={
            "api_key": "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            "base_url": PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
            "default_headers": createHeaders(
                provider="@anthropic", # Your Portkey provider
            )
        },
        model_id="claude-3-7-sonnet-latest",  # Claude model ID
        params={"max_tokens": 1000, "temperature": 0.7}
    )

    # Agent code remains exactly the same
    agent = Agent(model=model, tools=[calculator])
    response = agent("Explain quantum computing in simple terms")
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using Multiple Providers in One Agent">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Create different model instances for different tasks
    reasoning_model = OpenAIModel(
        client_args={
            "api_key": "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",

### 4. Guardrails for Safe Agents

Guardrails ensure your Strands agents operate safely and respond appropriately in all situations.

**Why Use Guardrails?**

Strands agents can experience various failure modes:

* Generating harmful or inappropriate content
* Leaking sensitive information like PII
* Hallucinating incorrect information
* Generating outputs in incorrect formats

Portkey's guardrails can:

* Detect and redact PII in both inputs and outputs
* Filter harmful or inappropriate content
* Validate response formats against schemas
* Check for hallucinations against ground truth
* Apply custom business logic and rules

            metadata={"priority": "high"}
        )
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

***

## Enterprise Governance

If you are using Strands inside your organization, you need to consider several governance aspects:

* **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
* **Access Control**: Managing which teams can use specific models
* **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
* **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
* **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users

### Centralized Key Management

Instead of distributing raw API keys to developers, use Portkey API keys that you can control centrally:

```python theme={"system"}
# Developers use Portkey API keys (not raw provider keys)
model = OpenAIModel(
    client_args={
        "api_key": "pk-team-frontend-xyz123",  # Team-specific Portkey key
        "base_url": PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
    },
    model_id="gpt-4o",
    params={"temperature": 0.7}
)
```

You can:

* **Rotate provider keys** without updating any code
* **Set spending limits** per team or API key
* **Control model access** (which teams can use which models)
* **Monitor usage** across all teams and projects
* **Revoke access** instantly if needed

### Usage Analytics & Budgets

Track and control AI spending across your organization:

* **Per-team budgets**: Set monthly spending limits for different teams
* **Model usage analytics**: See which teams are using which models most
* **Cost attribution**: Understand costs by project, team, or user
* **Usage alerts**: Get notified when teams approach their limits

All of this works automatically with your existing Strands agents—no code changes required.

### Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Import Errors">
    **Problem**: `ModuleNotFoundError` when importing Portkey components

    **Solution**: Ensure all dependencies are installed:

    ```bash theme={"system"}
    pip install -U strands-agents strands-agents-tools openai portkey-ai
    ```

    Verify versions are compatible:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    import strands
    import portkey_ai
    print(f"Strands: {strands.__version__}")
    print(f"Portkey: {portkey_ai.__version__}")
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Authentication Errors">
    **Problem**: `AuthenticationError` when making requests

    **Solution**: Verify your Portkey API key and provider setup: Verify your Portkey API key and provider setup. Test your Portkey API key directly and check for common issues such as wrong API key format, misconfigured provider, and missing config attachments.

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Test your Portkey API key directly
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY")
    response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "test"}],
        model="gpt-4o"
    )
    print(response)
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Rate Limiting">
    **Problem**: Hitting rate limits despite having fallbacks configured

    **Solution**: Check your fallback configuration:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Ensure fallbacks are configured for rate limit status codes
    headers = createHeaders(
        config={
            "strategy": {
                "mode": "fallback",
                "on_status_codes": [429, 503, 502, 504]
            },
            "targets": [
                {"provider":"@primary-key"},
                {"provider":"@backup-key"}
            ]
        }
    )
    ```

    Also verify that your backup providers have sufficient quota.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Model Compatibility">
    **Problem**: Model not found or unsupported model errors

    **Solution**: Check that your model ID is correct for the provider:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # OpenAI models
    model_id = "gpt-4o"  # Correct
    model_id = "gpt-4-turbo"  # Correct

    # Anthropic models
    model_id = "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"  # Correct
    model_id = "claude-3-sonnet"  # Wrong format

    # Use provider-specific model IDs, not generic names
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Missing Traces/Logs">
    **Problem**: Not seeing traces or logs in Portkey dashboard

    **Solution**: Verify your requests are going through Portkey:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    # Check that base_url is set correctly
    print(model.client.base_url)  # Should be https://api.portkey.ai/v1

    # Add trace IDs for easier debugging
    headers = createHeaders(
        trace_id="debug-session-123",
        metadata={"debug": "true"}
    )
    ```

    Also check the Logs section in your Portkey dashboard and filter by your metadata.

<Card title="Get Started with Acuvity AI" href="https://acuvity.ai/product/" />

## Using Acuvity with Portkey

### 1. Add Acuvity Credentials to Portkey

* Navigate to the `Integration` page under `Sidebar`
* Click on the edit button for the Acuvity integration
* Add your Acuvity API Key

### 2. Add Acuvity's Guardrail Check

* Navigate to the `Guardrails` page and click the `Create` button
* Search for Acuvity Scan and click `Add`
* Configure your guardrail settings: toxicity, jail break, biased etc.
* Set any `actions` you want on your check, and create the Guardrail!

<Note>
  Guardrail Actions allow you to orchestrate your guardrails logic. You can learn them [here](/product/guardrails#there-are-6-types-of-guardrail-actions)
</Note>

Here's your updated table with just the parameter names:

| Check Name   | Description                                      | Parameters                                                                                                                  | Supported Hooks                         |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Acuvity Scan | Comprehensive content safety and security checks | `Prompt Injection`, `Toxicity`, `Jail Break`, `Malicious Url`, `Biased`, `Harmful`, `Language`, `PII`, `Secrets`, `Timeout` | `beforeRequestHook`, `afterRequestHook` |

### 3. Add Guardrail ID to a Config and Make Your Request

* When you save a Guardrail, you'll get an associated Guardrail ID - add this ID to the `input_guardrails` or `output_guardrails` params in your Portkey Config
* Create these Configs in Portkey UI, save them, and get an associated Config ID to attach to your requests. [More here](/product/ai-gateway/configs).

Here's an example config:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"],
  "output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"]
}

## Using Raw Guardrails with Acuvity

You can define Acuvity guardrails directly in your code for more programmatic control without using the Portkey UI. This "raw guardrails" approach lets you dynamically configure guardrails based on your application's needs.

<Note>
  We recommend that you create guardrails using the Portkey UI whenever possible. Raw guardrails are more complex and require you to manage credentials and configurations directly in your code.

# Azure Guardrails
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/guardrails/azure-guardrails

Integrate Microsoft Azure's powerful content moderation services & PII guardrails with Portkey

Microsoft Azure offers robust content moderation and PII readaction services that can now be seamlessly integrated with Portkey's guardrails ecosystem. This integration supports two powerful Azure services:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Azure Content Safety" icon="shield-check">
    A comprehensive content moderation service that detects harmful content including hate speech, violence, sexual content, and self-harm references in text.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Azure PII Detection" icon="user-lock">
    Advanced detection of personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) to safeguard sensitive data.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Setting Up Azure Guardrails

Follow these steps to integrate Azure's content moderation services with Portkey:

### 1. Configure Azure Authentication

Navigate to the **Integrations** page under **Settings** to set up your Azure credentials. You can authenticate using three different methods:

* **API Key** - Uses a simple API key for authentication
* **Entra** (formerly Azure AD) - Uses Azure Active Directory authentication
* **Managed** - Uses managed identity authentication within Azure

Each authentication method requires specific credentials from your Azure account:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="API Key">
    * **Resource Name**: Your Azure resource name
    * **API Key**: Your Azure API key
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Entra">
    * **Resource Name**: Your Azure resource name
    * **Client ID**: Your Azure client ID
    * **Client Secret**: Your client secret
    * **Tenant ID**: Your Azure tenant ID
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Managed">
    * **Resource Name**: Your Azure resource name
    * **Client ID**: Your Azure client ID (for managed identity)
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Create Azure Guardrail Checks

Once authentication is set up, you can add Azure guardrail checks to your Portkey workflow:

1. Navigate to the **Guardrails** page
2. Search for either **Azure Content Safety** or **Azure PII Detection**
3. Click **Add** to configure your chosen guardrail
4. Configure the specific settings for your guardrail
5. Save your configuration and create the guardrail

<Note>
  Guardrail Actions allow you to orchestrate your guardrails logic. You can learn more about them [here](/product/guardrails#there-are-6-types-of-guardrail-actions)
</Note>

## Azure Content Safety

Azure Content Safety analyzes text for harmful content across several categories.

**Configuration Options**

| Parameter       | Description                                     | Values                                      |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |

## Monitoring and Logs

All guardrail actions and verdicts are visible in your Portkey logs, allowing you to:

* Track which content has been flagged
* See guardrail verdicts and actions
* Monitor the performance of your content moderation pipeline

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## Using Azure Guardrails - Scenarios

After setting up your guardrails, there are different ways to use them depending on your security requirements:

### Detect and Monitor Only

To simply detect but not block content:

* Configure your guardrail actions without enabling "Deny"
* Monitor the guardrail results in your Portkey logs
* If any issues are detected, the response will include a `hook_results` object with details

### Redact PII Automatically

To automatically remove sensitive information:

* Enable the `Redact` option for Azure PII Detection
* When PII is detected, it will be automatically redacted and replaced with standardized identifiers
* The response will include a `transformed` flag set to `true` in the results

### Block Harmful Content

To completely block requests that violate your policies:

* Enable the `Deny` option in the guardrails action tab
* If harmful content is detected, the request will fail with an appropriate status code
* You can customize denial messages to provide guidance to users

***

# AWS Bedrock Guardrails
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/guardrails/bedrock-guardrails

Secure your AI applications with AWS Bedrock's guardrail capabilities through Portkey.

[AWS Bedrock Guardrails](https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/) provides a comprehensive solution for securing your LLM applications, including content filtering, PII detection and redaction, and more.

To get started with AWS Bedrock Guardrails, visit their documentation:

<Card title="Get Started with AWS Bedrock Guardrails" href="https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/" />

## Using AWS Bedrock Guardrails with Portkey

### 1. Create a guardrail on AWS Bedrock

* Navigate to `AWS Bedrock` -> `Guardrails` -> `Create guardrail`
* Configure the guardrail according to your requirements
* For `PII redaction`, we recommend setting the Guardrail behavior as **BLOCK** for the required entity types. This is necessary because Bedrock does not apply PII checks on input (request message) if the behavior is set to MASK
* Once the guardrail is created, note the **ID** and **version** displayed on the console - you'll need these to enable the guardrail in Portkey

### 2. Enable Bedrock Plugin on Portkey

* Navigate to the `Integration` page under `Sidebar`
* Click on the edit button for the Bedrock integration
* Add your Bedrock `Region`, `AwsAuthType`, `Role ARN` & `External ID`credentials (refer to [Bedrock's documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/guardrails.html) for how to obtain these credentials)

### 3. Create a Guardrail on Portkey

* Navigate to the `Guardrails` page and click the `Create` button
* Search for `Apply bedrock guardrail` and click `Add`
* Enter the Guardrials ID and version of the guardrail you created in step 1
* Enable or disable the `Redact PII` toggle as needed
* Set any actions you want on your guardrail check, and click `Create`

<Note>
  Guardrail Actions allow you to orchestrate your guardrails logic. You can learn them [here](/product/guardrails#there-are-6-types-of-guardrail-actions)
</Note>

### 4. Add Guardrail ID to a Config and Make Your Request

* When you save a Guardrail, you'll get an associated Guardrail ID - add this ID to the `before_request_hooks` or `after_request_hooks` params in your Portkey Config
* Create these Configs in Portkey UI, save them, and get an associated Config ID to attach to your requests. [More here](/product/ai-gateway/configs).

Here's an example configuration:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"],
  "output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"]
}
```

## Using AWS Bedrock Guardrails - Scenarios

After setting up your guardrails, there are different ways to use them depending on your security requirements:

### Only Detect PII, Harmful Content, etc.

To simply detect but not redact content:

* Keep the `Redact PII` flag disabled when creating the guardrail on Portkey
* If any filters are triggered, the response status code will be 246 (instead of 200)
* The response will include a `hook_results` object with details for all checks

### Redact PII and Detect Other Filters

To automatically redact PII while still checking for other issues:

* Enable the `Redact PII` flag when creating the guardrail on Portkey
* If PII is detected, it will be automatically redacted and the status code will be 200
* If other issues (like harmful content) are detected, the response code will be 246
* The response will include a `hook_results` object with all check details
* If PII was redacted, the results will have a flag named `transformed` set to `true`

### Deny Requests with Policy Violations

To completely block requests that violate your policies:

* Enable the `Deny` option in the guardrails action tab
* If any filters are detected, the request will fail with response status code 446
* However, if only PII is detected and redaction is enabled, the request will still be processed (since the issue was automatically resolved)

## Using Raw Guardrails with AWS Bedrock

You can define AWS Bedrock guardrails directly in your code for more programmatic control without using the Portkey UI. This "raw guardrails" approach lets you dynamically configure guardrails based on your application's needs.

<Note>
  We recommend creating guardrails using the Portkey UI whenever possible. Raw guardrails are more complex and require you to manage credentials and configurations directly in your code.
</Note>

<Accordion title="Raw Guardrails Configuration Example">
  ### Available AWS Bedrock Guardrails

  | Guardrail Name          | ID              | Description                                                     | Parameters                                                                                  |
  | ----------------------- | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  | Apply bedrock guardrail | `bedrock.guard` | Applies AWS Bedrock guardrail checks for LLM requests/responses | `guardrailId` (string), `guardrailVersion` (string), `redact` (boolean), `timeout` (number) |

  ### Key Configuration Properties

  * **`type`**: Always set to `"guardrail"` for guardrail checks
  * **`id`**: A unique identifier for your guardrail
  * **`credentials`**: Authentication details for AWS Bedrock (if using assumedRole)
  * **`checks`**: Array of guardrail checks to run
    * `id`: The specific guardrail ID - in this case, `bedrock.guard`
    * `parameters`: Configuration options for the guardrail
  * **`deny`**: Whether to block the request if guardrail fails (true/false)
  * **`async`**: Whether to run guardrail asynchronously (true/false)
  * **`on_success`/`on_fail`**: Optional callbacks for success/failure scenarios
    * `feedback`: Data for logging and analytics
    * `weight`: Importance of this feedback (0-1)
    * `value`: Feedback score (-10 to 10)

  ### Implementation Example

  ```json theme={"system"}
  {
    "before_request_hooks": [
      {
        "type": "guardrail",

              "timeout": 5000 // timeout in ms
            }
          }
        ],
        "deny": true,
        "async": false,
        "on_success": {
          "feedback": {
            "weight": 1,
            "value": 1,
            "metadata": {
              "user": "user_xyz"
            }
          }
        },
        "on_fail": {
          "feedback": {
            "weight": 1,
            "value": -1,
            "metadata": {
              "user": "user_xyz"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
  ```

  <Note>
    When using raw guardrails, you must provide valid credentials for AWS Bedrock directly in your config. Make sure to handle these credentials securely and consider using environment variables or secrets management.

# Bring Your Own Guardrails
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/guardrails/bring-your-own-guardrails

Integrate your custom guardrails with Portkey using webhooks

Portkey's webhook guardrails allow you to integrate your existing guardrail infrastructure with our AI Gateway. This is perfect for teams that have already built custom guardrail pipelines (like PII redaction, sensitive content filtering, or data validation) and want to:

* Enforce guardrails directly within the AI request flow
* Make existing guardrail systems production-ready
* Modify AI requests and responses in real-time

## How It Works

1. You add a Webhook as a Guardrail Check in Portkey
2. When a request passes through Portkey's Gateway:
   * Portkey sends relevant data to your webhook endpoint
   * Your webhook evaluates the request/response and returns a verdict
   * Based on your webhook's response, Portkey either allows the request to proceed, modifies it if required, or applies your configured guardrail actions

## Setting Up a Webhook Guardrail

### Configure Your Webhook in Portkey App

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

In the Guardrail configuration UI, you'll need to provide:

| Field           | Description                              | Type          |
| :-------------- | :--------------------------------------- | :------------ |
| **Webhook URL** | Your webhook's endpoint URL              | `string`      |
| **Headers**     | Headers to include with webhook requests | `JSON`        |
| **Timeout**     | Maximum wait time for webhook response   | `number` (ms) |

#### Webhook URL

This should be a publicly accessible URL where your webhook is hosted.

<Note>
  **Enterprise Feature**: Portkey Enterprise customers can configure secure access to webhooks within private networks.
</Note>

#### Headers

Specify headers as a JSON object:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
  "Content-Type": "application/json"
}
```

#### Timeout

The maximum time Portkey will wait for your webhook to respond before proceeding with a default `verdict: true`.

* Default: `3000ms` (3 seconds)
* If your webhook processing is time-intensive, consider increasing this value

### Webhook Request Structure

Your webhook should accept `POST` requests with the following structure:

#### Request Headers

| Header         | Description                                  |
| :------------- | :------------------------------------------- |
| `Content-Type` | Always set to `application/json`             |
| Custom Headers | Any headers you configured in the Portkey UI |

#### Request Body

Portkey sends comprehensive information about the AI request to your webhook:

<Expandable title="Webhook Request Structure">
  <ParamField type="object">
    Information about the user's request to the LLM

    <Expandable title="Properties">
      <ParamField type="object">OpenAI compliant request body json.</ParamField>
      <ParamField type="string">Last message/prompt content from the overall request body.</ParamField>
      <ParamField type="boolean">Whether the request uses streaming</ParamField>
    </Expandable>
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField type="object">

      <ParamField type="string">Last message/prompt content from the overall response body.</ParamField>
      <ParamField type="number">HTTP status code from LLM provider</ParamField>
    </Expandable>
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField type="string">Portkey provider slug. Example: `openai`, `azure-openai`, etc.</ParamField>
  <ParamField type="string">Type of request: `chatComplete`, `complete`, or `embed`</ParamField>
  <ParamField type="object">Custom metadata passed with the request. Can come from: 1) the `x-portkey-metadata` header, 2) default API key settings, or 3) workspace defaults.</ParamField>
  <ParamField type="string">When the hook is triggered: `beforeRequestHook` or `afterRequestHook`</ParamField>
</Expandable>

#### Event Types

Your webhook can be triggered at two points:

* **beforeRequestHook**: Before the request is sent to the LLM provider
* **afterRequestHook**: After receiving a response from the LLM provider

### Webhook Response Structure

Your webhook must return a response that follows this structure:

#### Response Body

<Expandable title="Webhook Response Schema">
  <ResponseField name="verdict" type="boolean">
    Whether the request/response passes your guardrail check:

    * `true`: No violations detected
    * `false`: Violations detected
  </ResponseField>

  <ResponseField name="transformedData" type="object">
    Optional field to modify the request or response

    <Expandable title="Properties">
      <ResponseField name="request" type="object">
        Modified request data (only for beforeRequestHook)
        If this field is found in the Webhook response, Portkey will fully override the existing request body with the returned data.
      </ResponseField>

      <ResponseField name="response" type="object">
        Modified response data (only for afterRequestHook)
        If this field is found in the Webhook response, Portkey will fully override the existing response body with the returned data.
      </ResponseField>
    </Expandable>
  </ResponseField>
</Expandable>

## Webhook Capabilities

Your webhook can perform three main actions:

### Simple Validation

Return a verdict without modifying the request/response:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "verdict": true  // or false if the request violates your guardrails
}
```

### Request Transformation

Modify the user's request before it reaches the LLM provider:

## Passing Metadata to Your Webhook

You can include additional context with each request using Portkey's metadata feature:

```json theme={"system"}
// In your API request to Portkey
"x-portkey-metadata": {"user": "john", "context": "customer_support"}
```

This metadata will be forwarded to your webhook in the `metadata` field. [Learn more about metadata](/product/observability/metadata).

## Important Implementation Notes

1. **Complete Transformations**: When using `transformedData`, include all fields in your transformed object, not just the changed portions.

2. **Independent Verdict and Transformation**: The `verdict` and any transformations are independent. You can return `verdict: false` while still returning transformations.

3. **Default Behavior**: If your webhook fails to respond within the timeout period, Portkey will default to `verdict: true`.

4. **Event Type Awareness**: When implementing transformations, ensure your webhook checks the `eventType` field to determine whether it's being called before or after the LLM request.

## Using Raw Guardrails with Javelin

You can define Javelin guardrails directly in your code for more programmatic control without using the Portkey UI. This "raw guardrails" approach lets you dynamically configure guardrails based on your application's needs.

<Note>
  We recommend that you create guardrails using the Portkey UI whenever possible. Raw guardrails are more complex and require you to manage credentials and configurations directly in your code.
</Note>

<Accordion title="Key Configuration Properties">
  ### Unified Javelin Guardrails

  Javelin now provides a unified guardrails endpoint that automatically applies all enabled guardrails in your application policy. This simplifies configuration and ensures all your security checks are consistently applied.

  | Guardrail Name     | ID                   | Description                                                                                                                                   | Parameters                           |
  | ------------------ | -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
  | Javelin Guardrails | `javelin.guardrails` | Auto-applies all enabled guardrails in your Javelin application policy (Trust & Safety, Prompt Injection Detection, Language Detection, etc.) | None - configured via Javelin policy |

  ### Implementation Properties

  * **`type`**: Always set to `"guardrail"` for guardrail checks
  * **`id`**: A unique identifier for your guardrail

    * `apiKey`: Your Javelin API key
    * `domain`: Your Javelin backend URL (e.g., `api-dev.javelin.live`)
    * `application`: **Required** - Application name for policy-specific guardrails
  * **`checks`**: Array of guardrail checks to run
    * `id`: Use `javelin.guardrails` for the unified endpoint
    * `parameters`: Not needed - all configuration is managed in Javelin policy
  * **`deny`**: Whether to block the request if guardrail fails (true/false)
  * **`async`**: Whether to run guardrail asynchronously (true/false)
  * **`on_success`/`on_fail`**: Optional callbacks for success/failure scenarios
    * `feedback`: Data for logging and analytics
    * `weight`: Importance of this feedback (0-1)
    * `value`: Feedback score (-10 to 10)
</Accordion>

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "before_request_hooks": [
    {
      "type": "guardrail",
      "id": "javelin-unified-guardrails",
      "credentials": {
        "apiKey": "your_javelin_api_key",
        "domain": "api-dev.javelin.live",
        "application": "my-app"
      },
      "checks": [
        {
          "id": "javelin.guardrails",
          "parameters": {}
        }
      ],
      "deny": true,

          "value": -1,
          "metadata": {
            "user": "user_xyz",
            "check_type": "javelin_unified"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

### Multiple Guardrails Configuration Example

You can apply Javelin guardrails to both inputs and outputs:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "before_request_hooks": [
    {
      "type": "guardrail",
      "id": "javelin-input-guardrails",
      "credentials": {
        "apiKey": "your_javelin_api_key",
        "domain": "api-dev.javelin.live",
        "application": "my-app"
      },
      "checks": [
        {
          "id": "javelin.guardrails"
        }
      ],
      "deny": true,
      "async": false
    }
  ],
  "after_request_hooks": [
    {
      "type": "guardrail",
      "id": "javelin-output-guardrails",
      "credentials": {
        "apiKey": "your_javelin_api_key",
        "domain": "api-dev.javelin.live",
        "application": "my-app"
      },
      "checks": [
        {
          "id": "javelin.guardrails"
        }
      ],
      "deny": true,
      "async": false
    }
  ]
}
```

<Note>
  When using raw guardrails, you must provide valid credentials for the Javelin service directly in your config. Make sure to handle these credentials securely and consider using environment variables or secrets management.

  The `application` field is **required** as it determines which guardrails policy from your Javelin platform will be applied to your requests.
</Note>

## How Javelin Unified Guardrails Work

The unified guardrails approach offers several advantages:

### Centralized Policy Management

* Configure all guardrail rules, thresholds, and behaviors in the Javelin platform
* Changes to your security policy are instantly reflected across all applications
* No need to update code or configurations when adjusting security parameters

### Comprehensive Protection

When you use Javelin guardrails, the system automatically checks for:

1. **Trust & Safety**: Content filtering across violence, weapons, hate speech, crime, sexual content, and profanity
2. **Prompt Injection Detection**: Protection against manipulation attempts and jailbreaks
3. **Language Detection**: Language compliance and allowlisting
4. **Custom Policies**: Any additional guardrails configured in your Javelin application

### Response Structure

The guardrail returns detailed assessment information including:

* Which guardrails were triggered
* Category scores for each assessment
* Specific violations detected
* Reject prompts for failed checks

## Portkey Orchestration

When Javelin guardrails detect violations, Portkey can orchestrate your request based on guardrail actions:

### With `deny: false` (Default)

* Request continues even if guardrails fail
* Response includes detailed violation information
* Status code: 246 (non-blocking failure)
* Useful for logging and monitoring

### With `deny: true`

* Request is blocked if guardrails fail
* Error response is returned immediately
* Status code: 446 (blocking failure)
* Useful for critical security checks

### Example with Fallback Strategy

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback",
    "on_status_codes": [246, 446]
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "@openai-key-xxx",
      "override_params": {
        "model": "gpt-4"
      }
    },
    {
      "provider": "@anthropic-key-xxx",
      "override_params": {
        "model": "claude-3-sonnet"
      }
    }
  ],
  "input_guardrails": ["javelin-guardrails-id"]
}
```

This configuration will:

1. Check inputs with Javelin guardrails
2. If violations are detected, try the fallback provider
3. Log all guardrail results for monitoring

## Key Features

### Trust & Safety

Javelin's Trust & Safety processor provides comprehensive content filtering across multiple categories:

* **Violence & Weapons**: Detect content related to violence, weapons, or harmful activities
* **Hate Speech**: Identify discriminatory language and hate speech
* **Crime**: Flag content related to criminal activities
* **Sexual Content**: Detect inappropriate sexual content
* **Profanity**: Filter profane language and offensive content

### Prompt Injection Detection

Protect your AI agents & applications from sophisticated manipulation attempts:

* **Injection Pattern Recognition**: Detect known prompt injection techniques
* **Jailbreak Detection**: Identify attempts to bypass model safety measures
* **Malicious Command Filtering**: Block attempts to execute unintended commands
* **Real-time Analysis**: Process inputs in real-time with configurable thresholds

### Language Detection

Ensure content compliance with language policies:

* **Multi-language Support**: Detect content in over 100 languages
* **Confidence Scoring**: Configurable confidence thresholds for accurate detection
* **Language Allowlisting**: Restrict content to specific languages
* **Cultural Compliance**: Maintain cultural and regional content standards

## Using Raw Guardrails with Pangea

You can define Pangea guardrails directly in your code for more programmatic control without using the Portkey UI. This "raw guardrails" approach lets you dynamically configure guardrails based on your application's needs.

<Note>
  We recommend that you create guardrails using the Portkey UI whenever possible. Raw guardrails are more complex and require you to manage credentials and configurations directly in your code.

### 3. Add Guardrail ID to a Config and Make Your Request

<Info>
  Patronus integration on Portkey currently only works on model outputs and not inputs.
</Info>

* When you save a Guardrail, you'll get an associated Guardrail ID - add this ID to the `after_request_hooks` params in your Portkey Config.
* Save this Config and pass it along with any Portkey request you're making!

Your requests are now guarded by your Patronus evaluators and you can see the Verdict and any action you take directly on Portkey logs! More detailed logs for your requests will also be available on your Patronus dashboard.

## Configuration Examples

### Mode Parameter

Several guardrail checks support a `mode` parameter that controls the trade-off between accuracy and speed:

* `quality`: Highest accuracy, slower processing
* `balanced`: Good balance between accuracy and speed (default)
* `speed`: Fastest processing, lower accuracy

Example:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "mode": "quality"
}
```

### Policy Violations Check

For the Policy Violations Check, you can specify custom policies to enforce, the mode, and the target:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "policies": [
    "The model cannot provide any discount to the user",
    "The model must not share internal company information",
    "The model must respond in a professional tone"
  ],
  "mode": "balanced",
  "policy_target": "both"
}
```

#### Parameters

* `policies` (required): Array of strings defining custom policies to enforce
* `mode` (optional): One of `quality`, `balanced`, or `speed`. Default: `balanced`
* `policy_target` (optional): One of `input`, `output`, or `both`. Specifies whether to run the policy check on the request, response, or both. This must match the configured hooks:
  * `input`: Only for `beforeRequestHook`
  * `output`: Only for `afterRequestHook`
  * `both`: For both `beforeRequestHook` and `afterRequestHook`

## Add Guardrail ID to a Config and Make Your Request

* When you save a Guardrail, you'll get an associated Guardrail ID - add this ID to the `input_guardrails` or `output_guardrails` params in your Portkey Config
* Create these Configs in Portkey UI, save them, and get an associated Config ID to attach to your requests. [More here](/product/ai-gateway/configs).

{
  "input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx"],
  "output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-yyy"]

# Replace Custom Regex Patterns
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/guardrails/regex

Redact custom patterns with Regex in Portkey.

For more granular control over pattern redaction, you can create custom patterns using Portkey's **Regex Match** guardrail with redaction capabilities. This allows you to define specific regex patterns for sensitive information unique to your use case.

### Setting Up Custom Regex Patterns

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

1. **Navigate to Guardrails**: Go to the `Guardrails` page and click `Create`

2. **Select Regex Match**: Choose the "Regex Replace" guardrail from the BASIC category

3. **Configure the Pattern**:
   * **Regex Rule**: Enter your regex pattern to match specific data (e.g., `\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b` for SSN patterns)
   * **Replacement Text**: Define what to replace matches with (e.g., `[REDACTED]`, `*****`, `[SSN_HIDDEN]`)

4. **Save the Guardrail**: Name your guardrail and save it to get the associated Guardrail ID

### Common Regex Patterns for Sensitive Data

| Pattern Type           | Regex Pattern                                        | Replacement Example |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| Credit Card            | `\b\d{4}[- ]?\d{4}[- ]?\d{4}[- ]?\d{4}\b`            | `[CREDIT_CARD]`     |
| Social Security Number | `\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b`                              | `[SSN_REDACTED]`    |
| Phone Numbers          | `\b\d{3}[-.]\d{3}[-.]\d{4}\b`                        | `[PHONE_HIDDEN]`    |
| Email Addresses        | `\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}\b` | `[EMAIL_REDACTED]`  |
| Custom Employee IDs    | `EMP-\d{6}`                                          | `[EMPLOYEE_ID]`     |

### Adding to Your Config

Once you've created your custom regex pattern guardrail, add it to your Portkey config:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "before_request_hooks": [
    {"id": "your-guardrail-id"}
  ],
  "after_request_hooks": [
    {"id": "your-guardrail-id"}
  ]
}
```

<Note>
  You can add the same guardrail to both `before_request_hooks` (input guardrails) and `after_request_hooks` (output guardrails) to scan and redact regex patterns in both user inputs and LLM responses.
</Note>

### Example Implementation

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config: "pc-***" // Config with custom regex pattern redaction
    });

    const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        model: "@your-model-slug",
        messages: [
            {
                role: "user",
                content: "My SSN is 123-45-6789 and credit card is 4532-1234-5678-9012"
            }
        ]
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```py theme={"system"}
    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config="pc-***" # Config with custom regex pattern redaction
    )

    response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        model="@your-model-slug",
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "My SSN is 123-45-6789 and credit card is 4532-1234-5678-9012"
            }
        ]
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

With the custom regex guardrail configured, the input would be automatically transformed to:

```
"My SSN is [SSN_REDACTED] and credit card is [CREDIT_CARD]"
```

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Set Routing Configuration">
    Portkey allows you to control your routing logic very simply with it's Configs feature. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with things like:

    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive code and data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks, load-balance, retry and smart conditional routing logic
    * **Caching**: Implement Simple and Semantic Caching. and more....

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to load-balance requests to OpenAI and Anthropic:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
    	"strategy": {
    		"mode": "load-balance"
    	},
    	"targets": [
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER_SLUG/gpt-model"
    			}
    		},
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER/claude-sonnet-model"
    			}
    		}
    	]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard. You'll need the config ID for connecting.

# Autogen (DEPRECATED)
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/autogen

AutoGen is a framework that enables the development of LLM applications using multiple agents that can converse with each other to solve tasks.

<Card title="This Integration is DEPRECATED" icon="robot" href="/integrations/agents/autogen">
  Click here to check out the latest integration of Autogen with Portkey
</Card>

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## Quick Start Integration

Autogen supports a concept of `config\_list` which allows definitions of the LLM provider and model to be used. Portkey seamlessly integrates into the Autogen framework through a custom config we create.

### Example using minimal configuration

```py theme={"system"}
from autogen import AssistantAgent, UserProxyAgent, config_list_from_json

# Import the portkey library to fetch helper functions
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

config_list = [
    {
        "api_key": 'Your OpenAI Key',
        "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
        "base_url": PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        "api_type": "openai",
        "default_headers": createHeaders(
            api_key = "Your Portkey API Key",
            provider = "openai",
        )
    }
]

assistant = AssistantAgent("assistant", llm_config={"config_list": config_list})
user_proxy = UserProxyAgent("user_proxy", code_execution_config={"work_dir": "coding", "use_docker": False}) # IMPORTANT: set to True to run code in docker, recommended
user_proxy.initiate_chat(assistant, message="Say this is also a test - part 2.")
# This initiates an automated chat between the two agents to solve the task
```

Notice that we updated the `base_url` to Portkey's AI Gateway and then added `default_headers` to enable Portkey specific features.

When we execute this script, it would yield the same results as without Portkey, but every request can now be inspected in the Portkey Analytics & Logs UI - including token, cost, accuracy calculations.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

All the config parameters supported in Portkey are available for use as part of the headers. Let's look at some examples:

## Using 100+ models in Autogen through Portkey

Since Portkey [seamlessly connects to 150+ models across providers](/integrations/llms), you can easily connect any of these to now run with Autogen.

Let's see an example using **Mistral-7B on Anyscale** running with Autogen seamlessly:

```py theme={"system"}
from autogen import AssistantAgent, UserProxyAgent, config_list_from_json

# Import the portkey library to fetch helper functions
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

config_list = [
    {
        "api_key": 'Your Anyscale API Key',
        "model": "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1",
        "base_url": PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        "api_type": "openai", # Portkey conforms to the openai api_type
        "default_headers": createHeaders(
            api_key = "Your Portkey API Key",
            provider = "anyscale",
        )
    }
]

assistant = AssistantAgent("assistant", llm_config={"config_list": config_list})
user_proxy = UserProxyAgent("user_proxy", code_execution_config={"work_dir": "coding", "use_docker": False}) # IMPORTANT: set to True to run code in docker, recommended
user_proxy.initiate_chat(assistant, message="Say this is also a test - part 2.")
# This initiates an automated chat between the two agents to solve the task
```

## Using a Virtual Key

[Virtual keys](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys) in Portkey allow you to easily switch between providers without manually having to store and change their API keys. Let's use the same Mistral example above, but this time using a Virtual Key.

```py theme={"system"}
from autogen import AssistantAgent, UserProxyAgent, config_list_from_json

# Import the portkey library to fetch helper functions
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

config_list = [
    {
        # Set a dummy value, since we'll pick the API key from the virtual key
        "api_key": 'X',

        # Pick the model from the provider of your choice
        "model": "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1",
        "base_url": PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        "api_type": "openai", # Portkey conforms to the openai api_type

         "default_headers": createHeaders(
            api_key = "Your Portkey API Key",
            # Add your virtual key here
            virtual_key = "Your Anyscale Virtual Key",
        )
    }
]

assistant = AssistantAgent("assistant", llm_config={"config_list": config_list})
user_proxy = UserProxyAgent("user_proxy", code_execution_config={"work_dir": "coding", "use_docker": False}) # IMPORTANT: set to True to run code in docker, recommended
user_proxy.initiate_chat(assistant, message="Say this is also a test - part 2.")
# This initiates an automated chat between the two agents to solve the task
```

## Using Configs

[Configs](/product/ai-gateway/configs) in Portkey unlock advanced management and routing functionality including [load balancing](/product/ai-gateway/load-balancing), [fallbacks](/product/ai-gateway/fallbacks), [canary testing](/product/ai-gateway/canary-testing), [switching models](/product/ai-gateway/universal-api) and more.

You can use Portkey configs in Autogen like this:

```py theme={"system"}
from autogen import AssistantAgent, UserProxyAgent, config_list_from_json

# Import the portkey library to fetch helper functions
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

config_list = [
    {
        # Set a dummy value, since we'll pick the API key from the virtual key
        "api_key": 'X',

        # Pick the model from the provider of your choice
        "model": "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1",
        "base_url": PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
        "api_type": "openai", # Portkey conforms to the openai api_type

         "default_headers": createHeaders(
            api_key = "Your Portkey API Key",
            # Add your Portkey config id
            config = "Your Config ID",
        )
    }
]

assistant = AssistantAgent("assistant", llm_config={"config_list": config_list})
user_proxy = UserProxyAgent("user_proxy", code_execution_config={"work_dir": "coding", "use_docker": False}) # IMPORTANT: set to True to run code in docker, recommended
user_proxy.initiate_chat(assistant, message="Say this is also a test - part 2.")
# This initiates an automated chat between the two agents to solve the task
```

# DSPy
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/dspy

Integrate DSPy with Portkey for production-ready LLM pipelines

DSPy is a framework for algorithmically optimizing language model prompts and weights.

Portkey's integration with DSPy makes your DSPy pipelines production-ready with detailed insights on costs & performance metrics for each run, and also makes your existing DSPy code work across 1600+ LLMs.

## Getting Started

### Installation

```sh theme={"system"}
pip install -U dspy
```

### Setting up

Portkey integrates seamlessly with DSPy's new `LM` interface, allowing you to use 1600+ LLMs with detailed cost insights. Simply configure the LM with Portkey's gateway URL and your Portkey API key.

<Note>
  Grab your Portkey API key from [here](https://app.portkey.ai/).
</Note>

```python theme={"system"}
import dspy

# Set up your Portkey-enabled LM client
lm = dspy.LM(
    "openai/@YOUR_PROVIDER_SLUG/MODEL_NAME",
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
)

# Configure DSPy to use the Portkey-enabled client
dspy.configure(lm=lm)
```

The model string follows the format: `openai/@PROVIDER_SLUG/MODEL_NAME` where:

* `@PROVIDER_SLUG` is your provider's slug in Portkey (found in Model Catalog)
* `MODEL_NAME` is the specific model you want to use

Example model strings:

* `openai/@openai-provider-slug/gpt-4o`
* `openai/@anthropic-provider-slug/claude-3-sonnet-20240320`
* `openai/@aws-bedrock-slug/anthropic.claude-3-sonnet-20240229-v1:0`

🎉 That's it! You're now ready to use Portkey with DSPy.

## Let's make your first Request

Here's a simple example demonstrating DSPy with Portkey integration:

<a href="https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1IDdBoU9S_LAdueZkIcSx5F14wvjhKU3C?usp=sharing">
  <img alt="Open In Colab" />
</a>

```python theme={"system"}
import dspy

# Set up the Portkey-enabled client
lm = dspy.LM(
    "openai/@openai-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
)
dspy.configure(lm=lm)

# Simple completion
response = lm("Say this is a test!", temperature=0.7)
print(response)  # => ['This is a test!']
```

When you make a request using Portkey with DSPy, you can view detailed information about the request in the Portkey dashboard:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Portkey Dashboard" />
</Frame>

* `Request Details`: Information about the specific request, including the model used, input, and output.
* `Metrics`: Performance metrics such as latency, token usage, and cost.
* `Logs`: Detailed logs of the request, including any errors or warnings.
* `Traces`: A visual representation of the request flow, especially useful for complex DSPy modules.

## Portkey Features with DSPy

### 1. Interoperability

Portkey's Unified API enables you to easily switch between **1600+** language models. Simply change the provider slug and model name in your model string:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Switch between providers theme={"system"}
  # OpenAI GPT-4
  lm_openai = dspy.LM(
      "openai/@openai-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
      api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
  )
  dspy.configure(lm=lm_openai)

  # Anthropic Claude
  lm_anthropic = dspy.LM(
      "openai/@anthropic-provider-slug/claude-3-opus-20240229",
      api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
  )
  dspy.configure(lm=lm_anthropic)

  # AWS Bedrock
  lm_bedrock = dspy.LM(
      "openai/@aws-bedrock-slug/anthropic.claude-3-sonnet-20240229-v1:0",
      api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
  )
  dspy.configure(lm=lm_bedrock)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### 2. Logs and Traces

Portkey provides detailed tracing for each request. This is especially useful for complex DSPy modules with multiple LLM calls. You can view these traces in the Portkey dashboard to understand the flow of your DSPy application.

<Frame>
  <img alt="DSPy Traces" />
</Frame>

### 3. Metrics

Portkey's Observability suite helps you track key metrics like **cost** and **token** usage, which is crucial for managing the high cost of DSPy operations. The observability dashboard helps you track 40+ key metrics, giving you detailed insights into your DSPy runs.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Portkey Metrics Dashboard" />
</Frame>

### 4. Advanced Configuration

While the basic setup is simple, you can still access advanced Portkey features by configuring them in your Config or through the Portkey dashboard:

* **Caching**: Enable semantic or simple caching to reduce costs
* **Fallbacks**: Set up automatic fallbacks between providers
* **Load Balancing**: Distribute requests across multiple API keys
* **Retries**: Configure automatic retry logic
* **Rate Limiting**: Set rate limits for your API usage

These features are configured at the provider level in your Portkey dashboard, keeping your DSPy code clean and simple.

## Advanced Example: RAG with DSPy and Portkey

Here's a complete example showing how to build a RAG system with DSPy and Portkey:

```python theme={"system"}
import dspy

# Configure Portkey-enabled LM
lm = dspy.LM(
    "openai/@openai-provider-slug/gpt-4o",
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
)
dspy.configure(lm=lm)

# Define a retrieval function
def search_wikipedia(query: str) -> list[str]:
    results = dspy.ColBERTv2(url="http://20.102.90.50:2017/wiki17_abstracts")(query, k=3)
    return [x["text"] for x in results]

# Create a RAG chain
rag = dspy.ChainOfThought("context, question -> response")

# Ask a question
question = "What's the name of the castle that David Gregory inherited?"
result = rag(context=search_wikipedia(question), question=question)

print(result)
# Output: Prediction(
#     reasoning='David Gregory inherited Kinnairdy Castle in 1664, as mentioned in the context provided.',
#     response='The name of the castle that David Gregory inherited is Kinnairdy Castle.'
# )
```

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Finding Provider Slugs">
    Provider slugs can be found in your Portkey's Model Catalog. .
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Model Name Format">
    Always use the exact model name as specified by the provider. For example:

    * OpenAI: `gpt-4o`, `gpt-3.5-turbo`
    * Anthropic: `claude-3-opus-20240229`, `claude-3-sonnet-20240320`
    * AWS Bedrock: `anthropic.claude-3-sonnet-20240229-v1:0`

    You can also directly copy this slug from Portkey's model catalog.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Missing LLM Calls in Traces">
    DSPy uses caching for LLM calls by default, which means repeated identical requests won't generate new API calls or new traces. To ensure you capture every LLM call:

    1. **Disable Caching**: For full tracing during debugging, turn off DSPy's caching
    2. **Use Unique Inputs**: Make sure each run uses different inputs to avoid triggering the cache
    3. **Clear the Cache**: If you need to test the same inputs again, clear DSPy's cache between runs
    4. **Verify Configuration**: Confirm that your DSPy setup is correctly configured with Portkey

    Remember to manage caching wisely in production to strike the right balance between thorough tracing and performance efficiency.

  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Model Catalog enables you to have granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new Provider for each engineering team with budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure department-specific limits

    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Set Routing Configuration">
    Portkey allows you to control your routing logic very simply with it's Configs feature. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with things like:

    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive code and data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks, load-balance, retry and smart conditional routing logic
    * **Caching**: Implement Simple and Semantic Caching. and more....

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to load-balance requests to OpenAI and Anthropic:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
    	"strategy": {
    		"mode": "load-balance"
    	},
    	"targets": [
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER_SLUG/gpt-model"
    			}
    		},
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER/claude-sonnet-model"
    			}
    		}
    	]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard. You'll need the config ID for connecting.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.

# Langchain (JS/TS)
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/langchain-js

Add Portkey's enterprise features to any Langchain app—observability, reliability, caching, and cost control.

<Info>
  This guide covers Langchain **JavaScript/TypeScript**. For Python, see [Langchain Python](/integrations/libraries/langchain-python).
</Info>

Langchain provides a unified interface for building LLM applications. Add Portkey to get production-grade features: full observability, automatic fallbacks, semantic caching, and cost controls—all without changing your Langchain code.

## Quick Start

Add Portkey to any Langchain app with 3 parameters:

```javascript theme={"system"}
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";

const model = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4o",           // Provider slug from Model Catalog
    configuration: {
        baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
    },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"               // Your Portkey API key
});

const response = await model.invoke("Tell me a joke");
console.log(response.content);
```

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

That's it! You now get:

* ✅ Full observability (costs, latency, logs)
* ✅ Dynamic model selection per request
* ✅ Automatic fallbacks and retries (via configs)
* ✅ Budget controls per team/project

## Why Add Portkey to Langchain?

Langchain handles application orchestration. Portkey adds production features:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Enterprise Observability" icon="chart-line">
    Every request logged with costs, latency, tokens. Team-level analytics and debugging.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Dynamic Model Selection" icon="shuffle">
    Switch models per request. Route simple queries to cheap models, complex to advanced—automatically tracked.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Production Reliability" icon="shield-check">
    Automatic fallbacks, smart retries, load balancing—configured once, works everywhere.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Cost & Access Control" icon="dollar-sign">
    Budget limits per team/project. Rate limiting. Centralized credential management.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Setup

### 1. Install Packages

```bash theme={"system"}
npm install @langchain/openai portkey-ai
```

### 2. Add Provider in Model Catalog

1. Go to [**Model Catalog → Add Provider**](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog/providers)
2. Select your provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
3. Choose existing credentials or create new by entering your API keys
4. Name your provider (e.g., `openai-prod`)

Your provider slug will be **`@openai-prod`** (or whatever you named it).

<Card title="Complete Model Catalog Guide →" href="/product/model-catalog">
  Set up budgets, rate limits, and manage credentials

### 3. Get Portkey API Key

Create your Portkey API key at [app.portkey.ai/api-keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys)

### 4. Use in Your Code

Replace your existing `ChatOpenAI` initialization:

```javascript theme={"system"}
// Before (direct to OpenAI)
const model = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "gpt-4o",
    apiKey: "OPENAI_API_KEY"
});

// After (via Portkey)
const model = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    configuration: {
        baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
    },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
});
```

**That's the only change needed!** All your existing Langchain code (agents, chains, LCEL, etc.) works exactly the same.

## Switching Between Providers

Just change the model string—everything else stays the same:

```javascript theme={"system"}
// OpenAI
const openaiModel = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    configuration: { baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1" },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
});

// Anthropic
const anthropicModel = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "@anthropic-prod/claude-sonnet-4",
    configuration: { baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1" },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
});

// Google Gemini
const geminiModel = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "@google-prod/gemini-2.0-flash",
    configuration: { baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1" },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
});
```

<Note>
  Portkey implements OpenAI-compatible APIs for all providers, so you always use `ChatOpenAI` regardless of which model you're calling.
</Note>

## Using with Langchain Agents

Langchain agents are the primary use case. Portkey works seamlessly with agent workflows:

```javascript theme={"system"}
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { tool } from "@langchain/core/tools";
import { createReactAgent } from "@langchain/langgraph/prebuilt";
import { z } from "zod";

// Define tools
const searchTool = tool(
    async ({ query }) => `Results for: ${query}`,
    {
        name: "search",
        description: "Search for information",
        schema: z.object({ query: z.string() })
    }
);

const weatherTool = tool(
    async ({ location }) => `Weather in ${location}: Sunny, 72°F`,
    {
        name: "get_weather",
        description: "Get weather for a location",
        schema: z.object({ location: z.string() })
}
);

// Create model with Portkey
const model = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    configuration: { baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1" },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
});

// Create agent
const agent = createReactAgent({
    llm: model,
    tools: [searchTool, weatherTool]
});

// Run agent
const result = await agent.invoke({
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "What's the weather in NYC?" }]
});
```

Every agent step is logged in Portkey:

* Model calls with prompts and responses
* Tool executions with inputs and outputs
* Full trace of the agent's reasoning
* Costs and latency for each step

## Works With All Langchain Features

✅ **Agents** - Full compatibility with LangGraph agents\
✅ **LCEL** - LangChain Expression Language\
✅ **Chains** - All chain types supported\
✅ **Streaming** - Token-by-token streaming\
✅ **Tool Calling** - Function/tool calling\
✅ **LangGraph** - Complex workflows

### Streaming

```javascript theme={"system"}
const model = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    configuration: { baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1" },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    streaming: true
});

const stream = await model.stream("Write a short story");
for await (const chunk of stream) {
    process.stdout.write(chunk.content);
}
```

### Chains & Prompts

```javascript theme={"system"}
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { ChatPromptTemplate } from "@langchain/core/prompts";

const model = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    configuration: { baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1" },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
});

const prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.fromMessages([
    ["human", "Tell me a short joke about {topic}"]
]);

const chain = prompt.pipe(model);
const response = await chain.invoke({ topic: "ice cream" });
console.log(response.content);
```

### Tool Calling

```javascript theme={"system"}
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { z } from "zod";
import { tool } from "@langchain/core/tools";

const getWeather = tool(
    async ({ location }) => `Weather in ${location}: Sunny, 72°F`,
    {
        name: "get_weather",
        description: "Get current weather in a location",
        schema: z.object({
            location: z.string().describe("City and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA")
        })
    }
);

const model = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    configuration: { baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1" },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
});

const modelWithTools = model.bindTools([getWeather]);
const response = await modelWithTools.invoke("What's the weather in NYC?");
console.log(response.tool_calls);
```

## Dynamic Model Selection

For dynamic model routing based on query complexity or task type, use **Portkey Configs** with conditional routing:

```javascript theme={"system"}
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { createHeaders } from "portkey-ai";

// Define routing config (created in Portkey dashboard)
const config = {
    strategy: {
        mode: "conditional",
        conditions: [
            {
                query: { "metadata.complexity": { "$eq": "simple" } },
                then: "cheap-model"
            },
            {
                query: { "metadata.complexity": { "$eq": "complex" } },
                then: "advanced-model"
            }
        ],
        default: "cheap-model"
    },
    targets: [
        {
            name: "cheap-model",
            override_params: { model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4o-mini" }
        },
        {
            name: "advanced-model",
            override_params: { model: "@openai-prod/o1" }
        }
    ]
};

const model = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "gpt-4o",
    configuration: {
        baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        defaultHeaders: createHeaders({ config })
    },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
});

// Route to cheap model
const response1 = await model.invoke("What is 2+2?", {
    metadata: { complexity: "simple" }
});

// Route to advanced model
const response2 = await model.invoke("Solve this differential equation...", {
    metadata: { complexity: "complex" }
});
```

All routing decisions are tracked in Portkey with full observability—see which models were used, costs per model, and performance comparisons.

## Advanced Features via Configs

For production features like fallbacks, caching, and load balancing, use Portkey Configs:

```javascript theme={"system"}
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { createHeaders } from "portkey-ai";

const model = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    configuration: {
        baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
            config: "pc_your_config_id"  // Created in Portkey dashboard
        })
    },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
});
```

### Example: Load Balancing

```javascript theme={"system"}
const config = {
    strategy: { mode: "loadbalance" },
    targets: [
        {
            override_params: { model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4o" },
            weight: 0.5
        },
        {
            override_params: { model: "@anthropic-prod/claude-sonnet-4" },
            weight: 0.5
        }
    ]
};

const model = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "gpt-4o",
    configuration: {
        baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        defaultHeaders: createHeaders({ config })
    },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
});

// Requests are distributed 50/50 between OpenAI and Anthropic
const response = await model.invoke("Hello!");
```

## Embeddings

Create embeddings via Portkey:

```javascript theme={"system"}
import { OpenAIEmbeddings } from "@langchain/openai";

const embeddings = new OpenAIEmbeddings({
    model: "text-embedding-3-small",
    configuration: {
        baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        defaultHeaders: { "x-portkey-provider": "@openai-prod" }
    },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
});

const vectors = await embeddings.embedDocuments(["Hello world", "Goodbye world"]);
console.log(vectors);
```

<Info>
  Portkey supports OpenAI embeddings via `OpenAIEmbeddings`. For other providers (Cohere, Voyage), use the **Portkey SDK directly** ([docs](/api-reference/inference-api/embeddings)).
</Info>

## Migration from Direct OpenAI

Already using Langchain with OpenAI? Just update 3 parameters:

```javascript theme={"system"}
// Before
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";

const model = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "gpt-4o",
    apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
    temperature: 0.7
});

// After (add configuration, change model and apiKey)
const model = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4o",            // Add provider slug
    configuration: {
        baseURL: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"     // Add this
    },
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",                // Change to Portkey key
    temperature: 0.7                          // Keep existing params
});
```

**Benefits:**

* Zero code changes to your existing Langchain logic
* Instant observability for all requests
* Production-grade reliability features
* Cost controls and budgets

# Langchain (Python)
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/langchain-python

Add Portkey's enterprise features to any Langchain app—observability, reliability, caching, and cost control.

<Info>
  This guide covers Langchain **Python**. For JS, see [Langchain JS](/integrations/libraries/langchain-js).
</Info>

Langchain provides a unified interface for building LLM applications. Add Portkey to get production-grade features: full observability, automatic fallbacks, semantic caching, and cost controls—all without changing your Langchain code.

## Quick Start

Add Portkey to any Langchain app with 3 parameters:

```python theme={"system"}
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",       # Provider slug from Model Catalog
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"          # Your Portkey API key
)

response = model.invoke("Tell me a joke")
print(response.content)
```

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

That's it! You now get:

* ✅ Full observability (costs, latency, logs)
* ✅ Dynamic model selection per request
* ✅ Automatic fallbacks and retries (via configs)
* ✅ Budget controls per team/project

## Why Add Portkey to Langchain?

Langchain handles application orchestration. Portkey adds production features:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Enterprise Observability" icon="chart-line">
    Every request logged with costs, latency, tokens. Team-level analytics and debugging.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Dynamic Model Selection" icon="shuffle">
    Switch models per request. Route simple queries to cheap models, complex to advanced—automatically tracked.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Production Reliability" icon="shield-check">
    Automatic fallbacks, smart retries, load balancing—configured once, works everywhere.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Cost & Access Control" icon="dollar-sign">
    Budget limits per team/project. Rate limiting. Centralized credential management.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Setup

### 1. Install Packages

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install langchain-openai portkey-ai
```

### 2. Add Provider in Model Catalog

1. Go to [**Model Catalog → Add Provider**](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog/providers)
2. Select your provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
3. Choose existing credentials or create new by entering your API keys
4. Name your provider (e.g., `openai-prod`)

Your provider slug will be **`@openai-prod`** (or whatever you named it).

<Card title="Complete Model Catalog Guide →" href="/product/model-catalog">
  Set up budgets, rate limits, and manage credentials
</Card>

### 3. Get Portkey API Key

Create your Portkey API key at [app.portkey.ai/api-keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys)

### 4. Use in Your Code

Replace your existing `ChatOpenAI` initialization:

```python theme={"system"}
# Before (direct to OpenAI)
model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="gpt-4o",
    api_key="OPENAI_API_KEY"
)

# After (via Portkey)
model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)
```

**That's the only change needed!** All your existing Langchain code (agents, chains, LCEL, etc.) works exactly the same.

## Switching Between Providers

Just change the model string—everything else stays the same:

```python theme={"system"}
# OpenAI
model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)

# Anthropic
model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="@anthropic-prod/claude-sonnet-4",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)

# Google Gemini
model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="@google-prod/gemini-2.0-flash",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)
```

<Note>
  Portkey implements OpenAI-compatible APIs for all providers, so you always use `ChatOpenAI` regardless of which model you're calling.
</Note>

## Using with Langchain Agents

Langchain agents are the primary use case. Portkey works seamlessly with `create_agent`:

```python theme={"system"}
from langchain.agents import create_agent
from langchain.tools import tool
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

@tool
def search(query: str) -> str:
    """Search for information."""
    return f"Results for: {query}"

@tool
def get_weather(location: str) -> str:
    """Get weather for a location."""
    return f"Weather in {location}: Sunny, 72°F"

model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)

agent = create_agent(model, tools=[search, get_weather])

result = agent.invoke({
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in NYC and search for AI news"}]
})
```

Every agent step is logged in Portkey:

* Model calls with prompts and responses
* Tool executions with inputs and outputs
* Full trace of the agent's reasoning
* Costs and latency for each step

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## Works With All Langchain Features

✅ **Agents** - Full compatibility with `create_agent`\
✅ **LCEL** - LangChain Expression Language\
✅ **Chains** - All chain types supported\
✅ **Streaming** - Token-by-token streaming\
✅ **Tool Calling** - Function/tool calling\
✅ **LangGraph** - Complex workflows

### Streaming

```python theme={"system"}
model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    streaming=True
)

for chunk in model.stream("Write a short story"):
    print(chunk.content, end="", flush=True)
```

### Tool Calling

```python theme={"system"}
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

class GetWeather(BaseModel):
    '''Get current weather in a location'''
    location: str = Field(..., description="City and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA")

model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)

model_with_tools = model.bind_tools([GetWeather])
response = model_with_tools.invoke("What's the weather in NYC?")
print(response.tool_calls)
```

## Dynamic Model Selection

For dynamic model routing based on query complexity or task type, use **Portkey Configs** with conditional routing:

```python theme={"system"}
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# Define routing config (created in Portkey dashboard)
config = {
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "conditional",
    "conditions": [
      {
        "query": {"metadata.complexity": {"$eq": "simple"}},
        "then": "cheap-model"
      },
      {
        "query": {"metadata.complexity": {"$eq": "complex"}},
        "then": "advanced-model"
      }
    ],
    "default": "cheap-model"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "name": "cheap-model",
      "override_params": {"model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o-mini"}
    },
    {
      "name": "advanced-model",
      "override_params": {"model": "@openai-prod/o1"}
    }
  ]
}

model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="gpt-4o",  # Default model
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    default_headers=createHeaders(config=config)
)

# Route to cheap model
response1 = model.invoke(
    "What is 2+2?",
    config={"metadata": {"complexity": "simple"}}
)

# Route to advanced model
response2 = model.invoke(
    "Solve this differential equation...",
    config={"metadata": {"complexity": "complex"}}
)
```

### Use Cases

**1. Cost Optimization**

Route by query complexity automatically:

```python theme={"system"}
def smart_invoke(prompt, complexity="simple"):
    return model.invoke(
        prompt,
        config={"metadata": {"complexity": complexity}}
    )

# Automatic routing
answer1 = smart_invoke("What is 2+2?", complexity="simple")
answer2 = smart_invoke("Explain quantum mechanics", complexity="complex")
```

**2. Model Specialization by Task**

Route different task types to specialized models:

```python theme={"system"}
config = {
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "conditional",
    "conditions": [
      {"query": {"metadata.task": {"$eq": "code"}}, "then": "coding-model"},
      {"query": {"metadata.task": {"$eq": "creative"}}, "then": "creative-model"}
    ],
    "default": "coding-model"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "name": "coding-model",
      "override_params": {"model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o"}
    },
    {
      "name": "creative-model",
      "override_params": {"model": "@anthropic-prod/claude-sonnet-4"}
    }
  ]
}

def route_by_task(prompt, task_type):
    return model.invoke(
        prompt,
        config={"metadata": {"task": task_type}}
    )

code = route_by_task("Write a sorting algorithm", task_type="code")
story = route_by_task("Write a sci-fi story", task_type="creative")
```

**3. Dynamic Agent Model Selection**

Use different models for different agent steps:

```python theme={"system"}
from langchain.agents import create_agent
from langchain.tools import tool

@tool
def complex_calculation(query: str) -> str:
    """Perform complex calculations."""
    return "42"

model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="gpt-4o",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    default_headers=createHeaders(config=config)
)

agent = create_agent(model, tools=[complex_calculation])

# Agent routes based on task complexity
result = agent.invoke({
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Calculate quantum probabilities"}],
    "metadata": {"complexity": "complex"}
})
```

All routing decisions are tracked in Portkey with full observability—see which models were used, costs per model, and performance comparisons.

### When to Use Dynamic Routing

**Use conditional routing** when you need:

* ✅ Cost optimization based on query complexity
* ✅ Model specialization by task type
* ✅ Automatic failover and fallbacks
* ✅ A/B testing with traffic distribution

**Use fixed models** when you need:

* ✅ Simple, predictable behavior
* ✅ Consistent model across all requests
* ✅ Easier debugging

## Advanced Features via Configs

For production features like fallbacks, caching, and load balancing, use Portkey Configs:

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        config="pc_your_config_id"  # Created in Portkey dashboard
    )
)
```

## Langchain Embeddings

Create embeddings via Portkey:

```python theme={"system"}
from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings

embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings(
    model="text-embedding-3-small",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    default_headers={"x-portkey-provider": "@openai-prod"}
)

vectors = embeddings.embed_documents(["Hello world", "Goodbye world"])
```

<Info>
  Portkey supports OpenAI embeddings via `OpenAIEmbeddings`. For other providers (Cohere, Voyage), use the **Portkey SDK directly** ([docs](/api-reference/inference-api/embeddings)).
</Info>

## Prompt Management

Use prompts from Portkey's Prompt Library:

```python theme={"system"}
import os
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_core.messages import SystemMessage, HumanMessage
from portkey_ai import Portkey

PORTKEY_API_KEY = os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
client = Portkey(api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY)

# Render prompt from Portkey
rendered_prompt = client.prompts.render(
    prompt_id="pp-story-generator",
    variables={"character": "brave knight", "object": "magic sword"}
).data

# Convert to Langchain messages
langchain_messages = []
if rendered_prompt and rendered_prompt.prompt:
    for msg in rendered_prompt.prompt:
        if msg.get("role") == "user":
            langchain_messages.append(HumanMessage(content=msg.get("content")))
        elif msg.get("role") == "system":
            langchain_messages.append(SystemMessage(content=msg.get("content")))

# Use with Langchain model

Already using Langchain with OpenAI? Just update 3 parameters:

```python theme={"system"}
# Before
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
import os

model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="gpt-4o",
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
    temperature=0.7
)

# After (add 2 parameters, change 1)
model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",      # Add provider slug
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1", # Add this
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",         # Change to Portkey key
    temperature=0.7                     # Keep existing params
)
```

**Benefits:**

* Zero code changes to your existing Langchain logic
* Instant observability for all requests

**Enterprise Implementation Guide**

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Model Catalog enables you to have granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new Provider for each engineering team with budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure department-specific limits

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. You can simply manage AI models in your org by provisioning model at the top integration level.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Set Routing Configuration">
    Portkey allows you to control your routing logic very simply with it's Configs feature. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with things like:

    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive code and data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks, load-balance, retry and smart conditional routing logic
    * **Caching**: Implement Simple and Semantic Caching. and more....

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to load-balance requests to OpenAI and Anthropic:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
    	"strategy": {
    		"mode": "load-balance"
    	},
    	"targets": [
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER_SLUG/gpt-model"
    			}
    		},
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER/claude-sonnet-model"
    			}
    		}
    	]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard. You'll need the config ID for connecting.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

# LlamaIndex (Python)
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/llama-index-python

Add Portkey's enterprise features to any LlamaIndex app—observability, reliability, caching, and cost control.

LlamaIndex provides a framework for building LLM applications with your data. Add Portkey to get production-grade features: full observability, automatic fallbacks, semantic caching, and cost controls—all without changing your LlamaIndex code.

## Quick Start

Add Portkey to any LlamaIndex app with 3 parameters:

```python theme={"system"}
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

llm = OpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",        # Provider slug from Model Catalog
    api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"           # Your Portkey API key
)

response = llm.complete("Tell me a joke")
print(response.text)
```

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

That's it! You now get:

* ✅ Full observability (costs, latency, logs)
* ✅ Dynamic model selection per request
* ✅ Automatic fallbacks and retries (via configs)
* ✅ Budget controls per team/project

## Why Add Portkey to LlamaIndex?

LlamaIndex handles data indexing and querying. Portkey adds production features:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Enterprise Observability" icon="chart-line">
    Every request logged with costs, latency, tokens. Team-level analytics and debugging.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Dynamic Model Selection" icon="shuffle">
    Switch models per request. Route simple queries to cheap models, complex to advanced—automatically tracked.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Production Reliability" icon="shield-check">
    Automatic fallbacks, smart retries, load balancing—configured once, works everywhere.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Cost & Access Control" icon="dollar-sign">
    Budget limits per team/project. Rate limiting. Centralized credential management.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Setup

### 1. Install Packages

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install llama-index-llms-openai portkey-ai
```

### 2. Add Provider in Model Catalog

1. Go to [**Model Catalog → Add Provider**](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog/providers)
2. Select your provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
3. Choose existing credentials or create new by entering your API keys
4. Name your provider (e.g., `openai-prod`)

Your provider slug will be **`@openai-prod`** (or whatever you named it).

<Card title="Complete Model Catalog Guide →" href="/product/model-catalog">
  Set up budgets, rate limits, and manage credentials
</Card>

### 3. Get Portkey API Key

Create your Portkey API key at [app.portkey.ai/api-keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys)

### 4. Use in Your Code

Replace your existing LLM initialization:

```python theme={"system"}
# Before (direct to OpenAI)
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

llm = OpenAI(
    model="gpt-4o",
    api_key="OPENAI_API_KEY"
)

# After (via Portkey)
llm = OpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)
```

**That's the only change needed!** All your existing LlamaIndex code (indexes, query engines, agents) works exactly the same.

## Switching Between Providers

Just change the model string—everything else stays the same:

```python theme={"system"}
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

# OpenAI
llm = OpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)

# Anthropic
llm = OpenAI(
    model="@anthropic-prod/claude-sonnet-4",
    api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)

# Google Gemini
llm = OpenAI(
    model="@google-prod/gemini-2.0-flash",
    api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)
```

<Note>
  Portkey implements OpenAI-compatible APIs for all providers, so you always use `llama_index.llms.openai.OpenAI` regardless of which model you're calling.
</Note>

## Using with LlamaIndex Chat

LlamaIndex's chat interface works seamlessly:

```python theme={"system"}
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI
from llama_index.core.llms import ChatMessage

llm = OpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)

messages = [
    ChatMessage(role="system", content="You are a helpful assistant"),
    ChatMessage(role="user", content="What is the capital of France?")
]

response = llm.chat(messages)
print(response.message.content)
```

## Works With All LlamaIndex Features

✅ **Query Engines** - All query types supported\
✅ **Chat Engines** - Conversational interfaces\
✅ **Agents** - Full agent compatibility\
✅ **Streaming** - Token-by-token streaming\
✅ **RAG Pipelines** - Retrieval-augmented generation\
✅ **Workflows** - Complex LLM workflows

### Streaming

```python theme={"system"}
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

llm = OpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)

# Stream completions
for chunk in llm.stream_complete("Write a short story"):
    print(chunk.delta, end="", flush=True)

# Stream chat
messages = [ChatMessage(role="user", content="Tell me a joke")]
for chunk in llm.stream_chat(messages):
    print(chunk.delta, end="", flush=True)
```

### Async Support

```python theme={"system"}
import asyncio
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

async def main():
    llm = OpenAI(
        model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
        api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
    )
    
    # Async completion
    response = await llm.acomplete("What is 2+2?")
    print(response.text)

    # Async streaming
    async for chunk in await llm.astream_complete("Write a haiku"):
        print(chunk.delta, end="", flush=True)

asyncio.run(main())
```

### RAG with Query Engine

```python theme={"system"}
from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex, SimpleDirectoryReader
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

# Set up LLM with Portkey
llm = OpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)

# Load and index documents
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader("data").load_data()
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)

# Query with Portkey-enabled LLM
query_engine = index.as_query_engine(llm=llm)
response = query_engine.query("What is the main topic?")
print(response)
```

## Advanced Features via Configs

For production features like fallbacks, caching, and load balancing, use Portkey Configs:

```python theme={"system"}
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

llm = OpenAI(
    model="gpt-4o",  # Default model
    api_base=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        config="pc_your_config_id"  # Created in Portkey dashboard
    )
)
```

### Example: Fallbacks

```python theme={"system"}
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

config = {
    "strategy": {"mode": "fallback"},
    "targets": [
        {"override_params": {"model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o"}},
        {"override_params": {"model": "@anthropic-prod/claude-sonnet-4"}}
    ]
}

llm = OpenAI(
    model="gpt-4o",
    api_base=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    default_headers=createHeaders(config=config)
)

# Automatically falls back to Anthropic if OpenAI fails
response = llm.complete("Hello!")
```

### Example: Load Balancing

```python theme={"system"}
config = {
    "strategy": {"mode": "loadbalance"},
    "targets": [
        {"override_params": {"model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o"}, "weight": 0.5},
        {"override_params": {"model": "@anthropic-prod/claude-sonnet-4"}, "weight": 0.5}
    ]
}

llm = OpenAI(
    model="gpt-4o",
    api_base=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    default_headers=createHeaders(config=config)
)

# Requests distributed 50/50 between OpenAI and Anthropic
response = llm.complete("Hello!")
```

### Example: Caching

```python theme={"system"}
config = {
    "cache": {
        "mode": "semantic",  # or "simple" for exact matches
        "max_age": 3600      # Cache for 1 hour
    },
    "override_params": {"model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o"}
}

llm = OpenAI(
    model="gpt-4o",
    api_base=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    default_headers=createHeaders(config=config)
)

# Responses cached for similar queries
response = llm.complete("What is machine learning?")
```

<Card title="Learn About Configs →" href="/product/ai-gateway/configs">
  Set up fallbacks, retries, caching, load balancing, and more
</Card>

## Observability

Portkey automatically logs all requests. Add custom metadata for better analytics:

```python theme={"system"}
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

llm = OpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    api_base=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        metadata={
            "_user": "user_123",
            "environment": "production",
            "feature": "rag_query"
        },
        trace_id="unique_trace_id"
    )
)
```

Filter and analyze logs by metadata in the Portkey dashboard.

<Card title="Observability Guide →" href="/product/observability">
  Track costs, performance, and debug issues
</Card>

## Prompt Management

Use prompts from Portkey's Prompt Library:

```python theme={"system"}
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI
from llama_index.core.llms import ChatMessage
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders, Portkey

# Render prompt from Portkey
client = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")
prompt_template = client.prompts.render(
    prompt_id="pp-your-prompt-id",
    variables={"topic": "AI"}
).data.dict()

# Use with LlamaIndex
llm = OpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
    api_base=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)

messages = [
    ChatMessage(content=msg["content"], role=msg["role"]) 
    for msg in prompt_template["messages"]
]

response = llm.chat(messages)
print(response.message.content)
```

<Card title="Prompt Library →" href="/product/prompt-library">
  Manage, version, and test prompts in Portkey
</Card>

## Migration from Direct OpenAI

Already using LlamaIndex with OpenAI? Just update 3 parameters:

```python theme={"system"}
# Before
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI
import os

llm = OpenAI(
    model="gpt-4o",
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
    temperature=0.7
)

# After (add 2 parameters, change 1)
llm = OpenAI(
    model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",          # Add provider slug
    api_base="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",     # Add this
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",             # Change to Portkey key
    temperature=0.7                         # Keep existing params
)
```

**Benefits:**

* Zero code changes to your existing LlamaIndex logic
* Instant observability for all requests
* Production-grade reliability features
* Cost controls and budgets

**Enterprise Implementation Guide**

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Model Catalog enables you to have granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new Provider for each engineering team with budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure department-specific limits

      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. You can simply manage AI models in your org by provisioning model at the top integration level.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Set Routing Configuration">
    Portkey allows you to control your routing logic very simply with it's Configs feature. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with things like:

    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive code and data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks, load-balance, retry and smart conditional routing logic
    * **Caching**: Implement Simple and Semantic Caching. and more....

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to load-balance requests to OpenAI and Anthropic:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
    	"strategy": {
    		"mode": "load-balance"
    	},
    	"targets": [
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER_SLUG/gpt-model"
    			}
    		},
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER/claude-sonnet-model"
    			}
    		}
    	]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard. You'll need the config ID for connecting.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.

    Create API keys through:

    * [Portkey App](https://app.portkey.ai/)
    * [API Key Management API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key)

    Example using Python SDK:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY")

    api_key = portkey.api_keys.create(
        name="frontend-engineering",
        type="organisation",
        workspace_id="YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
        defaults={
            "config_id": "your-config-id",
            "metadata": {
                "environment": "development",
                "department": "engineering",
                "team": "frontend"
            }
        },
        scopes=["logs.view", "configs.read"]
    )
    ```

# Any OpenAI-Compatible Project
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/openai-compatible

Add Portkey to any OpenAI-compatible app—just change 2 settings.

Portkey works with any tool or application that supports OpenAI-compatible APIs. Add enterprise features—observability, reliability, cost controls—with just 2 configuration changes.

## Quick Start

Find your project's OpenAI settings and update:

1. **Base URL:** `https://api.portkey.ai/v1`
2. **API Key:** Your Portkey API key

That's it! Your app now routes through Portkey.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

You now get:

* ✅ Full observability (costs, latency, logs)
* ✅ Access to 250+ LLM providers
* ✅ Automatic fallbacks and retries
* ✅ Budget controls per team/project

## Why Add Portkey?

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Enterprise Observability" icon="chart-line">

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Setup

### 1. Add Provider in Model Catalog

1. Go to [**Model Catalog → Add Provider**](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog/providers)
2. Select your provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
3. Choose existing credentials or create new by entering your API keys
4. Name your provider (e.g., `openai-prod`)

Your provider slug will be **`@openai-prod`** (or whatever you named it).

<Card title="Complete Model Catalog Guide →" href="/product/model-catalog">
  Set up budgets, rate limits, and manage credentials
</Card>

### 2. Get Portkey API Key

Create your Portkey API key at [app.portkey.ai/api-keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys)

### 3. Configure Your Application

Most OpenAI-compatible apps have settings for:

**Base URL / Endpoint**

```
https://api.portkey.ai/v1
```

**API Key**

```
Your Portkey API Key (from step 2)
```

**Model** (if configurable)

```
@openai-prod/gpt-4o
```

If your app requires the OpenAI format (just model name), use a Portkey config with your default model.

## Common Integration Patterns

### Pattern 1: Direct Configuration (Recommended)

If your app allows custom base URL and API key:

```
Base URL: https://api.portkey.ai/v1
API Key: PORTKEY_API_KEY
Model: @openai-prod/gpt-4o
```

### Pattern 2: With Config

If your app only accepts model names like `gpt-4o`:

1. Create a config in [Portkey dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/configs):

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "override_params": {
    "model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o"
  }
}
```

2. Use the config in your app:

```
Base URL: https://api.portkey.ai/v1
API Key: PORTKEY_API_KEY
Model: gpt-4o  (the config will override this)
```

Add config to API key defaults or pass via header.

### Pattern 3: Environment Variables

Many apps use environment variables:

```bash theme={"system"}
OPENAI_API_BASE=https://api.portkey.ai/v1
OPENAI_API_KEY=PORTKEY_API_KEY
OPENAI_MODEL=@openai-prod/gpt-4o
```

## Switching Providers

Change the model string to switch providers:

```
@openai-prod/gpt-4o        # OpenAI
@anthropic-prod/claude-sonnet-4    # Anthropic
@google-prod/gemini-2.0-flash      # Google
```

All without changing your application code!

## Advanced Features via Configs

For production features like fallbacks, caching, and load balancing:

1. Create a config in [Portkey dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/configs)
2. Attach it to your API key defaults
3. Or pass via header: `x-portkey-config: your-config-id`

**Example config with fallbacks:**

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {"mode": "fallback"},
  "targets": [
    {"override_params": {"model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o"}},
    {"override_params": {"model": "@anthropic-prod/claude-sonnet-4"}}
  ]
}
```

# 3. Set Up Enterprise Governance

**Why Enterprise Governance?**

* **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
* **Access Control**: Managing team access and workspaces
* **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
* **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
* **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users
* **Model Management**: Managing what models are being used in your setup

Portkey adds a comprehensive governance layer to address these enterprise needs.

**Enterprise Implementation Guide**

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Model Catalog enables you to have granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new Provider for each engineering team with budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure department-specific limits

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. You can simply manage AI models in your org by provisioning model at the top integration level.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Set Routing Configuration">
    Portkey allows you to control your routing logic very simply with it's Configs feature. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with things like:

    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive code and data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks, load-balance, retry and smart conditional routing logic
    * **Caching**: Implement Simple and Semantic Caching. and more....

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to load-balance requests to OpenAI and Anthropic:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
    	"strategy": {
    		"mode": "load-balance"
    	},
    	"targets": [
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER_SLUG/gpt-model"
    			}
    		},
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER/claude-sonnet-model"
    			}
    		}
    	]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard. You'll need the config ID for connecting.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Implement Access Controls">
    ### Step 3: Implement Access Controls

    Create User-specific API keys that automatically:

    * Track usage per developer/team with the help of metadata
    * Apply appropriate configs to route requests
    * Collect relevant metadata to filter logs
    * Enforce access permissions

    Create API keys through:

    * [Portkey App](https://app.portkey.ai/)
    * [API Key Management API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key)

    Example using Python SDK:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY")

    api_key = portkey.api_keys.create(
        name="frontend-engineering",
        type="organisation",
        workspace_id="YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
        defaults={
            "config_id": "your-config-id",
            "metadata": {
                "environment": "development",
                "department": "engineering",
                "team": "frontend"
            }
        },
        scopes=["logs.view", "configs.read"]
    )
    ```

# OpenCode
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/opencode

centralised cost monitoring for opencode

[OpenCode](https://opencode.ai) is a claude code alternative that has quickly gained in popularity and is recommended by many of the top thought leaders in the AI space

Using Portkey to track costs for OpenCode is simple and one step setup because Portkey is openAI compatible.

# Setup

We use the [custom provider](https://opencode.ai/docs/providers/#custom-provider) option from opencode to integrate with Portkey.

1. In your OpenCode settings (usually located at `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json` in macos, check [https://opencode.ai/docs/config/#locations](https://opencode.ai/docs/config/#locations)) configure the following:

```json theme={"system"}
 {
   "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
   "provider": {
     "portkey": {
       "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
       "name": "Portkey",
       "options": {
         "baseURL": "https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
         "headers": {
             "x-portkey-api-key": "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
         }
       },
       "models": {
         "@your-integration-name/your-model-name": {
           "name": "gemini 2.5 flash enterprise team"
         }
       }
     }
   }
 }
```

here `your-integration-name` is the name of the integration you have configured in Portkey and `your-model-name` is the name of the model you are using.

2. Start opencode and execute the `/connect` command and select Portkey as the provider (if you are prompted for api key you can enter a dummy string)

3. That is all xd, now you can track costs in your portkey dashboard and see your usage in real time.

# Open WebUI
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/openwebui

Enterprise-grade cost tracking, observability, and more for Open WebUI

Add Portkey to Open WebUI to get:

* **Unified access to 1600+ LLMs** through a single API
* **Real-time cost tracking** and per-user attribution
* **Enterprise governance** with budget limits and access controls
* **Reliability features** like fallbacks, caching, and retries

<Warning>
  **Important:** Open WebUI doesn't support custom headers, so you can't pass `x-portkey-config` per request.

  **Solution:** Attach a default config to your Portkey API key. All requests with that key automatically use the config. For different configs per user/use case, create separate API keys. See [Default Configs](/product/administration/enforce-default-config).
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the Pipe">
    1. Open WebUI → **Admin Panel** → **Functions** tab
    2. Click **+** to create a new function
    3. Paste the code from the accordion above
    4. Name it **Portkey Function** and save
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Valves">
    Select the `PORTKEY` pipe and configure:

    | Setting                     | Value                                                                        |
    | --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **PORTKEY\_API\_KEY**       | Your Portkey API key (required)                                              |
    | **PORTKEY\_API\_BASE\_URL** | `https://api.portkey.ai/v1` (default)                                        |
    | **AUTO\_DISCOVER\_MODELS**  | `true` (recommended)                                                         |
    | **PORTKEY\_MODELS**         | Manual fallback: `@openai-prod/gpt-4o, @anthropic-prod/claude-sonnet-latest` |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify User Attribution">
    Chat in Open WebUI, then check [Portkey Logs](https://app.portkey.ai/logs). User email, name, and role appear in request metadata—filter by user, track costs per team member.
  </Step>
</Steps>

#### What You'll See in Portkey

User emails appear directly in the **User column** of your logs—no need to click into individual entries.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Portkey logs showing Open WebUI user metadata" />
</Frame>

**Captured metadata:** User email, name, role, chat ID, user ID. Filter logs by user, attribute costs to departments, maintain audit trails—all without individual API keys per user.

### How the Manifold Pipe Works

<CodeGroup>
  ```text Without Manifold Pipe theme={"system"}
  Open WebUI (User A, User B, User C...) 
    ↓
  Shared Portkey API Key
    ↓  
  Portkey Logs: All requests appear anonymous

  ❌ No cost attribution, usage tracking, or audit trails
  ```

  ```text With Manifold Pipe theme={"system"}
  Open WebUI User A → Pipe adds metadata → Portkey
    Headers: {"x-portkey-metadata": {"email": "user-a@company.com", "role": "admin"}}

  Open WebUI User B → Pipe adds metadata → Portkey
    Headers: {"x-portkey-metadata": {"email": "user-b@company.com", "role": "user"}}

  ✅ Full per-user attribution with a single shared API key
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The pipe uses Open WebUI's `__user__` context object and formats it as [Portkey metadata](/product/observability/metadata).

# Image Generation with Open WebUI
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/openwebui/image-generation-with-openwebui





# Promptfoo
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/promptfoo

Run Promptfoo evals on 1600+ LLMs with observability and cost tracking via Portkey.

[Promptfoo](https://promptfoo.dev/docs/intro) is an open source library for evaluating LLM output quality.

With Portkey, you can:

* **Manage prompts** with versioning and call them in Promptfoo
* **Run evals on 1600+ LLMs** including private/local models
* **Track costs and metrics** for all eval runs
* **Avoid rate limits** with load balancing and caching

## 1. Reference Portkey Prompts

Use prompts stored in Portkey directly in Promptfoo:

1. Set `PORTKEY_API_KEY` environment variable
2. Use `portkey://` prefix with your prompt ID:

```yaml theme={"system"}
prompts:
  - portkey://pp-test-prompt-669f48
providers:
  - openai:gpt-3.5-turbo-0613
tests:
  - vars:
      topic: ...
```

Variables from test cases are automatically plugged into the Portkey prompt.

<Note>
  Promptfoo doesn't follow temperature, model, and other parameters set in Portkey. Set them in the providers configuration.
</Note>

## 2. Route to Any Provider

Set `PORTKEY_API_KEY` and configure providers with the `portkey:` prefix:

<CodeGroup>
  ```yaml OpenAI theme={"system"}
  providers:
    id: portkey:gpt-4o
    config:
      portkeyProvider: openai
  ```

  ```yaml Anthropic theme={"system"}
  providers:
    id: portkey:claude-3-opus-20240229
    config:
      portkeyProvider: anthropic
      portkeyVirtualKey: "@anthropic-prod"
  ```

  ```yaml Google Gemini theme={"system"}
  providers:
    id: portkey:gemini-1.5-flash-latest
    config:
      portkeyProvider: google
      portkeyVirtualKey: "@google-prod"
  ```

  ```yaml Groq theme={"system"}
  providers:
    id: portkey:llama3-8b-8192
    config:
      portkeyProvider: groq
      portkeyVirtualKey: "@groq-prod"
  ```

  ```yaml Ollama (Local) theme={"system"}
  providers:
    id: portkey:llama3
    config:
      portkeyProvider: ollama
      portkeyCustomHost: YOUR_OLLAMA_NGROK_URL
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Cloud Providers (Azure, Bedrock, Vertex)

<CodeGroup>
  ```yaml Azure OpenAI theme={"system"}
  providers:
    id: portkey:xxx
    config:
      portkeyVirtualKey: "@azure-openai-prod"
  ```

  ```yaml AWS Bedrock theme={"system"}
  providers:
    id: portkey:anthropic.claude-3-sonnet-20240229-v1:0
    config:
      portkeyVirtualKey: "@bedrock-prod"
  ```

  ```yaml Google Vertex AI theme={"system"}
  providers:
    id: portkey:gemini-1.5-flash-latest
    config:
      portkeyVirtualKey: "@vertex-prod"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## 3. Track Costs & Metrics

Add metadata to segment requests and track costs per team/project:

```yaml theme={"system"}
providers:
  id: portkey:claude-3-opus-20240229
  config:
    portkeyVirtualKey: "@anthropic-prod"
    portkeyMetadata:
      team: alpha9
      prompt: classification
    portkeyTraceId: run_1
```

Filter and group by these keys in Portkey dashboards.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## 4. Avoid Rate Limits with Caching

Create a config with load balancing and caching for high-volume evals:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "cache": { "mode": "simple" },
  "strategy": { "mode": "loadbalance" },
  "targets": [
    { "provider": "@openai-key-1" },
    { "provider": "@openai-key-2" },
    { "provider": "@openai-key-3" }
  ]
}
```

Reference the config in your YAML:

```yaml theme={"system"}
providers:
  id: portkey:claude-3-opus-20240229
  config:
    portkeyConfig: pc-your-config-id
```

# Roo Code
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/roo-code

Add enterprise-grade observability, cost tracking, and governance to your Roo AI coding assistant

Roo is an AI coding assistant for VS Code. Add Portkey to get:

* **1600+ LLMs** through one interface - switch providers instantly
* **Observability** - track costs, tokens, and latency for every request
* **Reliability** - automatic fallbacks, retries, and caching
* **Governance** - budget limits, usage tracking, and team access controls

This guide shows how to configure Roo with Portkey in under 5 minutes.

<Note>
  For enterprise deployments across teams, see [Enterprise Governance](#3-enterprise-governance).
</Note>

# 1. Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add Provider">
    Go to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) → **Add Provider**.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Credentials">
    Select your provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), enter your API key, and create a slug like `openai-prod`.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get Portkey API Key">
    Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) and generate your Portkey API key.
  </Step>
</Steps>

# 2. Integrate Portkey with Roo

Now that you have your Portkey components set up, let's connect them to Roo. Since Portkey provides OpenAI API compatibility, integration is straightforward and requires just a few configuration steps in your VS Code settings.

<Note>
  You need your Portkey API Key from [Step 1](#1-setting-up-portkey) before going further.
</Note>

# 2. Configure Roo

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    In VS Code:

    1. Click the Roo icon in the activity bar
    2. Click the settings gear icon ⚙️
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Portkey Configuration">
    In Providers, enter:

    * **API Provider**: `OpenAI Compatible`
    * **Base URL**: `https://api.portkey.ai/v1`
    * **OpenAI API Key**: Your Portkey API key
    * **Model**: `@openai-prod/gpt-4o` (or your provider slug + model)
  </Step>
</Steps>

Done! Monitor usage in the [Portkey Dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/dashboard).

## Switch Providers

Change models by updating the **Model** field:

```
@anthropic-prod/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
@openai-prod/gpt-4o
@google-prod/gemini-2.0-flash-exp
```

All requests route through Portkey automatically.

<Note>
  **Want fallbacks, load balancing, or caching?** Create a [Portkey Config](/product/ai-gateway/configs), attach it to your API key, and set Model to `dummy`. See [Enterprise Governance](#3-enterprise-governance) for examples.
</Note>

# 3. Set Up Enterprise Governance

**Why Enterprise Governance?**

* **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
* **Access Control**: Managing team access and workspaces
* **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
* **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
* **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users
* **Model Management**: Managing what models are being used in your setup

Portkey adds a comprehensive governance layer to address these enterprise needs.

**Enterprise Implementation Guide**

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Model Catalog enables you to have granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new Provider for each engineering team with budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure department-specific limits

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. You can simply manage AI models in your org by provisioning model at the top integration level.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Set Routing Configuration">
    Portkey allows you to control your routing logic very simply with it's Configs feature. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with things like:

    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive code and data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks, load-balance, retry and smart conditional routing logic
    * **Caching**: Implement Simple and Semantic Caching. and more....

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to load-balance requests to OpenAI and Anthropic:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
    	"strategy": {
    		"mode": "load-balance"
    	},
    	"targets": [
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER_SLUG/gpt-model"
    			}
    		},
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER/claude-sonnet-model"
    			}
    		}
    	]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard. You'll need the config ID for connecting.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Implement Access Controls">
    ### Step 3: Implement Access Controls

    Create User-specific API keys that automatically:

    * Track usage per developer/team with the help of metadata
    * Apply appropriate configs to route requests
    * Collect relevant metadata to filter logs
    * Enforce access permissions

    Create API keys through:

## Prerequisites

* Supabase project API key
* [Portkey API key](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys)

## Setup

### 1. Install Dependencies

```sh theme={"system"}
pip install portkey-ai supabase
```

### 2. Prepare Database

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Supabase Project">
    Go to [Supabase](https://supabase.com/dashboard/sign-in) and create a new project.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable pgvector">
    In **Database → Extensions**, enable `pgvector`. Or run:

    ```sql theme={"system"}
    create extension vector;
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Documents Table">
    Create a table for documents and embeddings. OpenAI's `text-embedding-ada-002` outputs 1536 dimensions:

    ```sql theme={"system"}
    create table documents (
      id bigserial primary key,
      content text,
      embedding vector(1536)
    );
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

### 3. Configure Clients

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey
from supabase import create_client, Client

# Supabase
supabase: Client = create_client(
    "YOUR_SUPABASE_PROJECT_URL",
    "YOUR_SUPABASE_API_KEY"
)

# Portkey
client = Portkey(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    provider="@openai-prod"
)
```

## Generate & Store Embeddings

```python theme={"system"}
# Generate embedding
response = client.embeddings.create(
    model="text-embedding-ada-002",
    input="The food was delicious and the waiter..."
)

embedding = response.data[0].embedding

# Store in Supabase
result = supabase.table('documents').insert({
    "content": "The food was delicious and the waiter...",
    "embedding": embedding
}).execute()
```

## Switch Providers

Change the provider to use different embedding models:

```python theme={"system"}
# Cohere embeddings (1024 dimensions)
client = Portkey(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    provider="@cohere-prod"
)

response = client.embeddings.create(
    model="embed-english-v3.0",
    input_type="search_query",
    input="The food was delicious and the waiter..."
)
```

<Note>
  Cohere's `embed-english-v3.0` outputs 1024 dimensions. Create a separate table with `vector(1024)` for Cohere embeddings.

* **Prompt management** - Version, test, and deploy prompts from Portkey's studio

<Note>
  **Migrated from `@portkey-ai/vercel-provider`?**

  We've updated our integration to use Vercel's standard OpenAI provider for better compatibility with the rapidly evolving Vercel AI SDK. This new approach gives you access to all Vercel features while maintaining full Portkey functionality.
</Note>

## Quick Start

### 1. Installation

```sh theme={"system"}
npm install ai @ai-sdk/openai
```

### 2. Get Your Portkey API Key

[Sign up for Portkey](https://app.portkey.ai) and copy your API key from the dashboard. You'll use this to authenticate with Portkey's gateway.

### 3. Configure the OpenAI Provider

Point the OpenAI provider to Portkey's gateway:

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai';

const openai = createOpenAI({
  baseURL: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
  apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY', // Your Portkey API key
});
```

### 4. Use Any Model

Use models from your [AI Providers](/product/model-catalog) with the `@provider-slug/model-name` format:

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('@openai-prod/gpt-4o'),
  prompt: 'Write a vegetarian lasagna recipe for 4 people.',
});

console.log(text);
```

That's it! Your Vercel AI SDK app now has full Portkey observability and reliability features.

## Core Features

### Text Generation

Generate text with any model using `generateText`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript OpenAI Models theme={"system"}
  import { generateText } from 'ai';
  import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai';

  const openai = createOpenAI({
    baseURL: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
    apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
  });

  const { text } = await generateText({
    model: openai('@openai-prod/gpt-4o'),
    prompt: 'Write a haiku about coding.',
  });
  ```

  ```typescript Anthropic Models theme={"system"}
  import { generateText } from 'ai';
  import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai';

  const openai = createOpenAI({
    baseURL: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
    apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
  });

  // Use .chat() for chat completion models
  const { text } = await generateText({
    model: openai.chat('@anthropic-prod/claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620'),
    prompt: 'Explain quantum computing.',
  });
  ```

  ```typescript Google Models theme={"system"}
  import { generateText } from 'ai';
  import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai';

  const openai = createOpenAI({
    baseURL: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
    apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
  });

  const { text } = await generateText({
    model: openai.chat('@google-prod/gemini-2.0-flash'),
    prompt: 'What are the benefits of solar energy?',
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  Use `openai()` for OpenAI's completion models and `openai.chat()` for chat completion models from any provider (Anthropic, Google, AWS Bedrock, etc.).
</Note>

### Streaming Text

Stream responses in real-time with `streamText`:

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { streamText } from 'ai';
import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai';

const openai = createOpenAI({
  baseURL: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
  apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
});

const result = streamText({
  model: openai('@openai-prod/gpt-4o'),
  prompt: 'Tell me about the Mission burrito debate in San Francisco.',
});

for await (const chunk of result.fullStream) {
  if (chunk.type === 'text-delta') {
    process.stdout.write(chunk.textDelta);
  }
}
```

### Structured Data Generation

Generate validated, structured outputs with `generateObject`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript With Schema Name & Description theme={"system"}
  import { generateObject } from 'ai';
  import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
  import { z } from 'zod';

  const openai = createOpenAI({
    baseURL: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',

  });

  const result = await generateObject({
    model: openai.chat('@openai-prod/gpt-4o'),
    schemaName: 'Recipe',
    schemaDescription: 'A recipe for a dish.',
    schema: z.object({
      name: z.string(),
      ingredients: z.array(
        z.object({
          name: z.string(),
          amount: z.string(),
        })
      ),
      steps: z.array(z.string()),
    }),
    prompt: 'Generate a lasagna recipe.',
  });

  console.log(result.object);
  ```

  ```typescript Standard Format theme={"system"}
  import { generateObject } from 'ai';
  import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
  import { z } from 'zod';

  const openai = createOpenAI({
    baseURL: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
    apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
  });

  const result = await generateObject({
    model: openai('@openai-prod/gpt-4o'),
    schema: z.object({
      recipe: z.object({
        name: z.string(),
        ingredients: z.array(
          z.object({ name: z.string(), amount: z.string() })
        ),
        steps: z.array(z.string()),
      }),
    }),
    prompt: 'Generate a lasagna recipe.',
  });

  console.log(result.object);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Tool Calling

Enable your AI to use tools and functions:

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { generateText, tool } from 'ai';
import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { z } from 'zod';

const openai = createOpenAI({
  baseURL: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
  apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
});

const result = await generateText({
  model: openai('@openai-prod/gpt-4o'),
  tools: {
    weather: tool({
      description: 'Get the weather in a location',
      inputSchema: z.object({
        location: z.string().describe('The location to get the weather for'),
      }),
      execute: async ({ location }) => ({
        location,
        temperature: 72 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 21) - 10,
      }),
    }),
  },
  prompt: 'What is the weather in San Francisco?',
});

console.log(result.text);
console.log('Tool Calls:', result.toolCalls);
```

### Image Generation

## Using AI Providers & Model Catalog

Portkey's [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog) lets you manage all your AI providers and models from a centralized dashboard with governance, budget limits, and access controls.

### Setting Up Providers

1. Go to the [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai) in Portkey dashboard
2. Click "Add Provider" and choose your AI service (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
3. Add your API credentials
4. Give your provider a unique slug (e.g., `@openai-prod`)

### Using Provider Models

Reference models using the `@provider-slug/model-name` format:

```typescript theme={"system"}
// Use your configured providers
const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('@openai-prod/gpt-4o'),        // OpenAI
  prompt: 'Hello!',
});

const { text: claudeText } = await generateText({
  model: openai.chat('@anthropic-prod/claude-3-5-sonnet'),  // Anthropic
  prompt: 'Hello!',
});

const { text: geminiText } = await generateText({
  model: openai.chat('@google-prod/gemini-2.0-flash'),  // Google
  prompt: 'Hello!',
});
```

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Portkey Configs

Portkey Configs enable advanced routing, reliability, and governance for your AI requests. You can apply configs in two ways:

### Method 1: Inline in Model Name

Reference a saved prompt or config directly in the model name:

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { generateText } from 'ai';
import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai';

const openai = createOpenAI({
  baseURL: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
  apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
});

// Use a saved prompt with config
const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('@my-prompt-config/gpt-4o'),
  prompt: 'User query here',
});
```

### Method 2: Via Headers

Pass config ID or inline config via headers:

```typescript theme={"system"}
const openai = createOpenAI({
  baseURL: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
  apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
  headers: {
    'x-portkey-config': 'pp-config-xxx', // Your saved config ID
  },
});
```

## Migration Guide

### From `@portkey-ai/vercel-provider`

If you're migrating from the old Portkey Vercel provider package:

**Before:**

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { createPortkey } from '@portkey-ai/vercel-provider';

const portkey = createPortkey({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
  config: { /* ... */ }
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: portkey.chatModel('gpt-4o'),
  prompt: 'Hello',
});
```

**After:**

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai';

const openai = createOpenAI({
  baseURL: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1',
  apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('@openai-prod/gpt-4o'),
  prompt: 'Hello',
});
```

**Key Changes:**

* Use `@ai-sdk/openai` instead of `@portkey-ai/vercel-provider`
* Set `baseURL` to Portkey's gateway
* Reference models using `@provider-slug/model-name` format
* Pass configs via headers or inline in model names

**Benefits:**

* ✅ Better compatibility with Vercel AI SDK updates
* ✅ Access to all Vercel AI SDK features immediately
* ✅ Simpler setup with standard OpenAI provider
* ✅ More flexible config management

<Note>
  For enterprise deployments across teams, see [Enterprise Governance](#3-enterprise-governance).
</Note>

# 1. Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add Provider">
    Go to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) → **Add Provider**.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Credentials">
    Select your provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), enter your API key, and create a slug like `openai-prod`.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get Portkey API Key">
    Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) and generate your Portkey API key.
  </Step>
</Steps>

# 2. Configure Zed

Open `Settings.json` in Zed using Command Palette (`cmd-shift-p` / `ctrl-shift-p`) and run `zed: open settings`.

Add this configuration:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "language_models": {
    "openai": {
      "api_url": "https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
      "available_models": [
        {
          "name": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
          "display_name": "GPT-4o via Portkey",
          "max_tokens": 128000
        },
        {
          "name": "@anthropic-prod/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
          "display_name": "Claude 3.5 Sonnet via Portkey",
          "max_tokens": 200000
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

Then set your Portkey API key as your OpenAI API key in Zed's settings.

Done! Monitor usage in the [Portkey Dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/dashboard).

## Switch Providers

Add more models to your `available_models` array:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "name": "@google-prod/gemini-2.0-flash-exp",
  "display_name": "Gemini 2.0 Flash via Portkey",
  "max_tokens": 1000000
}
```

All requests route through Portkey automatically.

<Note>
  **Want fallbacks, load balancing, or caching?** Create a [Portkey Config](/product/ai-gateway/configs), attach it to your API key, and set model name to `dummy`. See [Enterprise Governance](#3-enterprise-governance) for examples.
</Note>

# 3. Set Up Enterprise Governance

**Why Enterprise Governance?**

* **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
* **Access Control**: Managing team access and workspaces
* **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
* **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
* **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users

Portkey adds a comprehensive governance layer to address these enterprise needs.

**Enterprise Implementation Guide**

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
    ### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits

    Model Catalog enables you to have granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:

    * Set up [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)
    * Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
    * Track departmental spending

    #### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:

    1. Navigate to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new Provider for each engineering team with budget limits and rate limits
    3. Configure department-specific limits

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
    ### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules

    As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. You can simply manage AI models in your org by provisioning model at the top integration level.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Set Routing Configuration">
    Portkey allows you to control your routing logic very simply with it's Configs feature. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with things like:

    * **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive code and data
    * **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks, load-balance, retry and smart conditional routing logic
    * **Caching**: Implement Simple and Semantic Caching. and more....

    #### Example Configuration:

    Here's a basic configuration to load-balance requests to OpenAI and Anthropic:

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
    	"strategy": {
    		"mode": "load-balance"
    	},
    	"targets": [
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_OPENAI_PROVIDER_SLUG/gpt-model"
    			}
    		},
    		{
    			"override_params": {
    				"model": "@YOUR_ANTHROPIC_PROVIDER/claude-sonnet-model"
    			}
    		}
    	]
    }
    ```

    Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard. You'll need the config ID for connecting.

    <Note>
      Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Step 4: Implement Access Controls">
    ### Step 3: Implement Access Controls

    Create User-specific API keys that automatically:

    * Track usage per developer/team with the help of metadata
    * Apply appropriate configs to route requests
    * Collect relevant metadata to filter logs
    * Enforce access permissions

    Create API keys through:

    * [Portkey App](https://app.portkey.ai/)
    * [API Key Management API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key)

    Example using Python SDK:

    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY")

    api_key = portkey.api_keys.create(
        name="frontend-engineering",
        type="organisation",
        workspace_id="YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
        defaults={
            "config_id": "your-config-id",
            "metadata": {
                "environment": "development",
                "department": "engineering",
                "team": "frontend"
            }
        },
        scopes=["logs.view", "configs.read"]
    )
    ```

# Bring Your Own LLM
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/byollm

Integrate your privately hosted LLMs with Portkey for unified management, observability, and reliability.

Portkey's Bring Your Own LLM feature allows you to seamlessly integrate privately hosted language models into your AI infrastructure. This powerful capability enables unified management of both private and commercial LLMs through a consistent interface while leveraging Portkey's comprehensive suite of observability and reliability features.

## Key Benefits

* **Unified API Access**: Manage private and commercial LLMs through a single, consistent interface
* **Enhanced Reliability**: Leverage Portkey's fallbacks, retries, and load balancing for your private deployments
* **Comprehensive Monitoring**: Track performance, usage, and costs alongside your commercial LLM usage
* **Simplified Access Control**: Manage team-specific permissions and usage limits
* **Secure Credential Management**: Protect sensitive authentication details through Portkey's secure vault

## Integration Options

<Note>
  **Prerequisites**

  Your private LLM must implement an API specification compatible with one of Portkey's [supported providers](/integrations/llms) (e.g., OpenAI's `/chat/completions`, Anthropic's `/messages`, etc.).
</Note>

Portkey offers two primary methods to integrate your private LLMs:

1. **Using Model Catalog**: Store your deployment details securely in Portkey's Model Catalog
2. **Direct Integration**: Pass deployment details in your requests without storing them

### Option 1: Using Model Catalog

#### Step 1: Add Your Private LLM to Model Catalog

Navigate to [**Model Catalog → Add Provider**](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog/providers) in your Portkey dashboard.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Model Catalog setup for private LLM" />
</Frame>

1. Click **"Add Provider"** and enable the **"Local/Privately hosted provider"** toggle
2. Configure your deployment:
   * Select the matching provider API specification (typically `OpenAI`)
   * Enter your model's base URL in the `Custom Host` field
   * Add required authentication headers and their values
3. Name your provider (e.g., `my-private-llm`)
4. Click **"Create"** to save your configuration

#### Step 2: Use Your Provider in Requests

After adding your provider to the Model Catalog, you can use it in your applications:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js NodeJS theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      provider:"@YOUR_PRIVATE_LLM_PROVIDER"
  })

  async function main() {
    const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms" }],
      model: "YOUR_MODEL_NAME",  // The model name your private deployment expects
    });

    console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
  }

  main();
  ```

  ```py Python theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      provider="@YOUR_PRIVATE_LLM_PROVIDER"
  )

  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    model="YOUR_MODEL_NAME",  # The model name your private deployment expects
    messages=[
      {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"}
    ]
  )

  print(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -H "x-portkey-provider: @my-private-llm" \
    -d '{
      "model": "YOUR_MODEL_NAME",
      "messages": [
        { "role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms" }
      ]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Option 2: Direct Integration Without Model Catalog

If you prefer not to store your private LLM details in Portkey's Model Catalog, you can pass them directly in your API requests:

<CodeGroup>
  ```js NodeJS theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      provider: "openai",  // The API spec your LLM implements
      customHost: "https://your-llm-server.com/v1/",  // Include the API version
      Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN",  // Optional: Any auth headers needed
      forwardHeaders: ["Authorization"]  // Headers to forward without processing
  })

  async function main() {
    const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms" }],
      model: "YOUR_MODEL_NAME",
    });

    console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
  }

  main();
  ```

  ```py Python theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      provider="openai",  # The API spec your LLM implements
      custom_host="https://your-llm-server.com/v1/",  # Include the API version
      Authorization="Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN",  # Optional: Any auth headers needed
      forward_headers=["Authorization"]  # Headers to forward without processing
  )

  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="YOUR_MODEL_NAME",
      messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"}]
  )

  print(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -H "x-portkey-provider: openai" \
    -H "x-portkey-custom-host: https://your-llm-server.com/v1" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
    -H "x-portkey-forward-headers: Authorization" \
    -d '{
      "model": "YOUR_MODEL_NAME",
      "messages": [
        { "role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms" }
      ]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  The `custom_host` must include the API version path (e.g., `/v1/`). Portkey will automatically append the endpoint path (`/chat/completions`, `/completions`, or `/embeddings`).
</Note>

## Securely Forwarding Sensitive Headers

For headers containing sensitive information that shouldn't be logged or processed by Portkey, use the `forward_headers` parameter to pass them directly to your private LLM:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider: "openai",
        customHost: "https://your-llm-server.com/v1/",
        // Headers to include with requests
        Authorization: "Bearer sk_live_xxxxx",
        xApiKey: "sensitive-key-value",
        xOrgId: "org-12345",
        // Headers to forward without processing
        forwardHeaders: ["Authorization", "xApiKey", "xOrgId"]
    })
    ```

    <Note>
      In the JavaScript SDK, convert header names to **camelCase**. For example, `X-My-Custom-Header` becomes `xMyCustomHeader`.
    </Note>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider="openai",
        custom_host="https://your-llm-server.com/v1/",
        # Headers to include with requests
        Authorization="Bearer sk_live_xxxxx",
        x_api_key="sensitive-key-value",
        x_org_id="org-12345",
        # Headers to forward without processing
        forward_headers=["Authorization", "x_api_key", "x_org_id"]
    )
    ```

    <Note>
      In the Python SDK, convert header names to **snake\_case**. For example, `X-My-Custom-Header` becomes `x_my_custom_header`.
    </Note>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="cURL">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      -H "x-portkey-provider: openai" \
      -H "x-portkey-custom-host: https://your-llm-server.com/v1" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_xxxxx" \
      -H "x-api-key: sensitive-key-value" \
      -H "x-org-id: org-12345" \
      -H "x-portkey-forward-headers: Authorization, x-api-key, x-org-id" \
      -d '{
        "model": "YOUR_MODEL_NAME",
        "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello!" }]
      }'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Using Forward Headers in Gateway Configs

You can also specify `forward_headers` in your Gateway Config for consistent header forwarding:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": { "mode": "fallback" },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "custom_host": "https://your-private-llm.com/v1",
      "forward_headers": ["Authorization", "x-api-key", "x-custom-token"]
    },
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "api_key": "sk-xxxxx"  // Fallback to commercial provider
    }
  ]
}
```

## Advanced Features

### Using Private LLMs with Gateway Configs

Private LLMs work seamlessly with all Portkey Gateway features. Some common use cases:

* **Load Balancing**: Distribute traffic across multiple private LLM instances
* **Fallbacks**: Set up automatic failover between private and commercial LLMs
* **Conditional Routing**: Route requests to different LLMs based on metadata

```json theme={"system"}
{
    "strategy": {
        "mode": "fallback"
    },
    "targets": [
        {
            "provider": "openai",
            "custom_host": "http://PRIVATE_LLM/v1",
            "forward_headers": ["Authorization"]
        },
        {
            "provider":"@openai-key"
        }
    ]
}
```

| Authentication Failures | Invalid credentials, incorrect header format        | Check credentials, ensure headers are correctly formatted and forwarded        |
| Timeout Errors          | LLM server overloaded, request too complex          | Adjust timeout settings, implement load balancing, simplify requests           |
| Inconsistent Responses  | Different model versions, configuration differences | Standardize model versions, document expected behavior differences             |

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I use any private LLM with Portkey?">
    Yes, as long as it implements an API specification compatible with one of Portkey's supported providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.). The model should accept requests and return responses in the format expected by that provider.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I handle multiple deployment endpoints?">
    You have two options:

    1. Create separate integration for each endpoint
    2. Use Gateway Configs with load balancing to distribute traffic across multiple endpoints
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are there any request volume limitations?">
    Portkey itself doesn't impose specific request volume limitations for private LLMs. Your throughput will be limited only by your private LLM deployment's capabilities and any rate limits you configure in Portkey.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use different models with the same private deployment?">
    Yes, you can specify different model names in your requests as long as your private LLM deployment supports them. The model name is passed through to your deployment.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I mix private and commercial LLMs in the same application?">
    Absolutely! One of Portkey's key benefits is the ability to manage both private and commercial LLMs through a unified interface. You can even set up fallbacks between them or route requests conditionally.
  </Accordion>

# Replicate
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/replicate



[Replicate](https://replicate.com/) is a platform for building and running machine learning models.

Replicate does not have a standarized JSON body format for their inference API, hence it is not possible to use unified API to interact with Replicate.
Portkey instead provides a proxy to Replicate, allowing you to manage auth on Portkey and log all Replicate requests.

## Portkey SDK Integration with Replicate

To integrate Replicate with Portkey:

### 1. Install the Portkey SDK

Add the Portkey SDK to your application to interact with Replicate through Portkey's gateway.

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Getting Started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Obtain your Upstage API Key">
    Visit the [Upstage dashboard](https://console.upstage.ai/api-keys) to generate your API key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a Virtual Key in Portkey">
    Portkey's virtual key vault simplifies your interaction with Upstage. Virtual keys act as secure aliases for your actual API keys, offering enhanced security and easier management through [budget limits](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits) to control your API usage.

    Use the Portkey app to create a [virtual key](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys) associated with your Upstage API key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize the Portkey Client">
    Now that you have your virtual key, set up the Portkey client:

    ### Portkey Hosted App

    Use the Portkey API key and the Upstage virtual key to initialize the client in your preferred programming language.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```python Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
          api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
          provider="@PROVIDER"   # Replace with your virtual key for Upstage
      )
      ```

      ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

      const portkey = new Portkey({
          apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
          provider:"@PROVIDER" // Your Upstage Virtual Key
      })
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    ### Open Source Use

    Alternatively, use Portkey's Open Source AI Gateway to enhance your app's reliability with minimal code:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```python Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

      portkey = Portkey(
          api_key="dummy",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
          base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
          Authorization="UPSTAGE_API_KEY", # Replace with your Upstage API Key
          provider="upstage"
      )
      ```

      ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
      import Portkey, { PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from 'portkey-ai'

      const portkey = new Portkey({
          apiKey: "dummy", // Replace with your Portkey API key
          baseUrl: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
          Authorization: "UPSTAGE_API_KEY", // Replace with your Upstage API Key
          provider: "upstage"
      })
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>
</Steps>

🔥 That's it! You've integrated Portkey into your application with just a few lines of code. Now let's explore making requests using the Portkey client.

         "model": "embedding-query"
       }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

# Portkey's Advanced Features

## Track End-User IDs

Portkey allows you to track user IDs passed with the user parameter in Upstage requests, enabling you to monitor user-level costs, requests, and more:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    model="solar-pro",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
    user="user_123456"
  )
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Say this is a test" }],
    model: "solar-pro",
    user: "user_12345",
  });
  ```

  ```curl REST theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
       -d '{
         "model": "solar-pro",
         "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}],
         "user": "user_123456"
       }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

When you include the user parameter in your requests, Portkey logs will display the associated user ID, as shown in the image below:

<img alt="Portkey Logs with User ID" />

In addition to the `user` parameter, Portkey allows you to send arbitrary custom metadata with your requests. This powerful feature enables you to associate additional context or information with each request, which can be useful for analysis, debugging, or other custom use cases.

## Using The Gateway Config

Here's a simplified version of how to use Portkey's Gateway Configuration:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Gateway Configuration">
    You can create a Gateway configuration using the Portkey Config Dashboard or by writing a JSON configuration in your code. In this example, requests are routed based on the user's subscription plan (paid or free).

    ```json theme={"system"}
    config = {
      "strategy": {
        "mode": "conditional",
        "conditions": [
          {
            "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "paid" } },
            "then": "solar-pro"
          },
          {
            "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "free" } },
            "then": "gpt-3.5"
          }
        ],
        "default": "base-gpt4"
      },
      "targets": [
        {
          "name": "solar-pro",
          "provider":"@xx"
        },
        {
          "name": "gpt-3.5",
          "provider":"@yy"
        }
      ]
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Process Requests">
    When a user makes a request, it will pass through Portkey's AI Gateway. Based on the configuration, the Gateway routes the request according to the user's metadata.

    <img alt="Conditional Routing Diagram" />
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Up the Portkey Client">
    Pass the Gateway configuration to your Portkey client. You can either use the config object or the Config ID from Portkey's hosted version.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```python Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
          api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
          provider="@PROVIDER",
          config=portkey_config
      )
      ```

      ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider:"@PROVIDER",
        config: portkeyConfig
      })
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Local Setup

If you do not want to use Portkey's hosted API, you can also run Portkey locally:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Open Source (npm or docker)">
    Portkey runs on our popular [open source Gateway](https://git.new/portkey). You can spin it up locally to make requests without sending them to the Portkey API.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```sh Install the Gateway theme={"system"}
      npx @portkey-ai/gateway
      ```

      ```sh Docker Image theme={"system"}
      npx @portkey-ai/gateway
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    | Your Gateway is running on [http://localhost:8080/v1](http://localhost:8080/v1) 🚀 |   |
    | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | - |

    Then, just change the `baseURL` to the local Gateway URL, and make requests:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```ts NodeJS theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

      const client = new Portkey({
        baseUrl: 'http://localhost:8080/v1',

        provider:'@PROVIDER'
      });

      async function main() {
        const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
          messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Bob the builder.." }],
          model: "grok-beta",
        });

        console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
      }

      main();
      ```

      ```py Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      client = Portkey(
        base_url = 'http://localhost:8080/v1',

### Portkey Features

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Setup Fallbacks & Loadbalancer">
    Here's a simplified version of how to use Portkey's Gateway Configuration:

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Create a Gateway Configuration">
        You can create a Gateway configuration using the Portkey Config Dashboard or by writing a JSON configuration in your code. In this example, requests are routed based on the user's subscription plan (paid or free).

        ```json theme={"system"}
        config = {
          "strategy": {
            "mode": "conditional",
            "conditions": [
              {
                "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "paid" } },
                "then": "grok-beta"
              },
              {
                "query": { "metadata.user_plan": { "$eq": "free" } },
                "then": "grok-2-1212"
              }
            ],
            "default": "grok-beta"
          },
          "targets": [
            {
              "name": "grok-beta",
              "provider":"@xx"
            },
            {
              "name": "grok-2-1212",
              "provider":"@yy"
            }
          ]
        }
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Process Requests">
        When a user makes a request, it will pass through Portkey's AI Gateway. Based on the configuration, the Gateway routes the request according to the user's metadata.

        <img alt="Conditional Routing Diagram" />
      </Step>

      <Step title="Set Up the Portkey Client">
        Pass the Gateway configuration to your Portkey client. You can either use the config object or the Config ID from Portkey's hosted version.

        <CodeGroup>
          ```python Python theme={"system"}
          from portkey_ai import Portkey

          portkey = Portkey(
              api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
              provider="@PROVIDER",
              config=portkey_config
          )
          ```

          ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
          import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

          const portkey = new Portkey({
            apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            provider:"@PROVIDER",
            config: portkeyConfig
          })
          ```
        </CodeGroup>
      </Step>
    </Steps>

# Exa Online Search
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/plugins/exa

Transform offline LLMs into online models with real-time internet search capabilities.

[Exa](https://exa.ai) provides a powerful search API that seamlessly integrates with your LLM applications, enabling real-time internet access for any model. When integrated with Portkey, Exa transforms requests by adding relevant search results before they reach the model, effectively turning offline models into online models.

<Card title="Get Started with Exa" href="https://exa.ai">
  Learn more about Exa and their offerings.
</Card>

## How Exa Online Search Works

The Exa Online Search plugin automatically adds a context window with relevant search results from the internet before your prompt reaches the LLM:

1. **User sends a prompt** requiring up-to-date information
2. **Portkey intercepts the request** and sends a search query to Exa
3. **Exa returns relevant search results** from across the web
4. **Search results are added as context** to the original prompt
5. **Enhanced prompt is sent to the LLM** which now has access to current information

This process allows any LLM to respond with up-to-date knowledge without retraining or fine-tuning.

## Setting Up Exa Online Search

### 1. Enable Exa Plugin in Portkey

* Navigate to `Settings` → `Plugins` in the sidebar
* Find Exa in the list of available plugins and click "Enable"
* Enter your Exa API key (obtain this from your [Exa dashboard](https://exa.ai))
* Save your settings

### 2. Create an Exa Guardrail in Portkey

* Navigate to the `Guardrails` page and click `Create`

* Search for "Exa Online Search" and click `Add`

* Configure your search parameters:
  * **Context Prefix**: Add Text that appears before the search results in the LLM query(default: `<web_search_context>`)
  * **Context Suffix**: Add Text that appears after the search results in the LLM query (default: `</web_search_context>`)
  * **Number of Results**: How many search results to include (recommended: 1-5)
  * **Include Domains**: Optional list of specific domains to limit search results to
  * **Exclude Domains**: Optional list of domains to exclude from search results
  * **Timeout**: Maximum wait time for search results in milliseconds (default: 10000)

* Set any `actions` you want on your check, and create the Guardrail!

<Note>
  Guardrail Actions allow you to orchestrate your guardrails logic. You can learn more about them [here](/product/guardrails#there-are-6-types-of-guardrail-actions)
</Note>

* Save your guardrail

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### 3. Add Guardrail ID to a Config

* When you save a guardrail, you'll get an associated Guardrail ID
* Add this ID to the `input_guardrails` parameter in your Portkey Config.
* Create these Configs in Portkey UI, save them, and get an associated Config ID to attach to your requests. [More here](/product/ai-gateway/configs).

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "input_guardrails": [
    "your_exa_guardrail_id"
  ]
}
```

* Save this config and note its Config ID for use in your requests

<Note>
  The Exa Plugin is supported only as an `input guardrail`. It adds web search results to your request before it reaches the LLM, which is why only `before_request_hooks` are supported and not `after_request_hooks` on Portkey's gateway. [Learn more about guardrails here](/product/guardrails)
</Note>

### 4. Use the Config in Your Requests

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config: "pc-***" // Your config ID with Exa enabled
    });

    // Any request using this client will now have Exa search capabilities
    const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        model: "gpt-4",
        messages: [
            { role: "user", content: "What are the latest developments in quantum computing?" }
        ]
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```py theme={"system"}
    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config="pc-***" # Your config ID with Exa enabled
    )

    # Any request using this client will now have Exa search capabilities
    response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4",
        messages=[
            {"role": "user", "content": "What are the latest developments in quantum computing?"}
        ]
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="OpenAI Compatible">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const openai = new OpenAI({
      apiKey: 'OPENAI_API_KEY',
      baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
      defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config: "CONFIG_ID_WITH_EXA" // Your config with Exa enabled
      })
    });

    // Any request using this client will now have Exa search capabilities
    const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
      model: "gpt-4",
      messages: [
        { role: "user", content: "What happened in the world today?" }
      ]
    });
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Best Practices

1. **Combine with Output Guardrails**: Pair Exa with output validation guardrails to ensure not just up-to-date information, but also accurate formatting and content safety.

2. **Manage Token Usage**: Be mindful that adding search context increases token consumption. Monitor usage patterns and adjust the number of search results accordingly.

3. **Use Domain Filtering**: For specialized applications, use domain filtering to ensure information comes from authoritative sources relevant to your use case.

4. **Test Thoroughly**: Different models may respond differently to the added context. Test your configuration across various query types and models.

## Monitoring and Logs

All Exa-enhanced requests are logged in the Portkey dashboard. You can review:

* Which requests used Exa search
* How many tokens were used for the search context
* How the search results affected the model's response

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does this work with all LLM providers?">
    Yes, the Exa Online Search plugin works with any LLM provider supported by Portkey, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, and more. The plugin adds context before your prompt reaches the model, so it's model-agnostic.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does this affect token usage?">
    Adding search results as context will increase token usage since the prompt becomes longer. The exact increase depends on the number of search results and their length. You can control this by adjusting the "Number of Results" parameter.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How fresh are the search results?">
    Exa provides real-time search results from across the web, with freshness depending on how quickly content is indexed. For most major news and information sources, content is available within minutes to hours of publication.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does this differ from using OpenAI's web search capability?">
    Unlike OpenAI's browsing capability which is limited to specific models and the OpenAI ecosystem, Exa Online Search works with any LLM provider and model available through Portkey, giving you more flexibility and control.
  </Accordion>

# FutureAGI
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/integrations/tracing-providers/future-agi

Integrate FutureAGI with Portkey for automated LLM evaluation and comprehensive observability

FutureAGI is an AI lifecycle platform that provides automated evaluation, tracing, and quality assessment for LLM applications. When combined with Portkey, you get a complete end-to-end observability solution covering both operational performance and response quality.

<Note>
  Portkey handles the "what happened, how fast, and how much did it cost?" while FutureAGI answers "how good was the response?"
</Note>

## Why FutureAGI + Portkey?

The integration creates a powerful synergy:

* **Portkey** acts as the operational layer - unifying API calls, managing keys, and monitoring metrics like latency, cost, and request volume
* **FutureAGI** acts as the quality layer - capturing full request context and running automated evaluations to score model outputs

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

Before integrating FutureAGI with Portkey, ensure you have:

1. Python 3.8+ installed
2. API Keys:
   * [Portkey API Key](https://app.portkey.ai)
   * [FutureAGI API Key](https://app.futureagi.com/dashboard/keys)
   * Virtual Keys for each provider in your [Portkey dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys)

### Installation

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install portkey-ai fi-instrumentation traceai-portkey

## Integration Guide

### Step 1: Basic Setup

Import the necessary libraries and configure your environment:

```python theme={"system"}
import asyncio
import json
import time
from portkey_ai import Portkey
from traceai_portkey import PortkeyInstrumentor
from fi_instrumentation import register
from fi_instrumentation.fi_types import (
    ProjectType, EvalTag, EvalTagType,
    EvalSpanKind, EvalName, ModelChoices
)
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
```

### Step 2: Configure FutureAGI Tracing

Set up comprehensive evaluation tags to automatically assess model responses:

```python theme={"system"}
def setup_tracing(project_version_name: str):
    """Setup tracing with comprehensive evaluation tags"""
    tracer_provider = register(
        project_name="Model-Benchmarking",
        project_type=ProjectType.EXPERIMENT,
        project_version_name=project_version_name,
        eval_tags=[
            # Evaluates if the response is concise
            EvalTag(
                type=EvalTagType.OBSERVATION_SPAN,
                value=EvalSpanKind.LLM,
                eval_name=EvalName.IS_CONCISE,
                custom_eval_name="Is_Concise",
                mapping={"input": "llm.output_messages.0.message.content"},
                model=ModelChoices.TURING_LARGE
            ),
            # Evaluates context adherence
            EvalTag(
                type=EvalTagType.OBSERVATION_SPAN,
                value=EvalSpanKind.LLM,
                eval_name=EvalName.CONTEXT_ADHERENCE,
                custom_eval_name="Response_Quality",
                mapping={
                    "context": "llm.input_messages.0.message.content",
                    "output": "llm.output_messages.0.message.content",
                },
                model=ModelChoices.TURING_LARGE
            ),
            # Evaluates task completion
            EvalTag(
                type=EvalTagType.OBSERVATION_SPAN,
                value=EvalSpanKind.LLM,
                eval_name=EvalName.TASK_COMPLETION,
                custom_eval_name="Task_Completion",
                mapping={
                    "input": "llm.input_messages.0.message.content",
                    "output": "llm.output_messages.0.message.content",
                },
                model=ModelChoices.TURING_LARGE
            ),
        ]
    )
    # Instrument the Portkey library
    PortkeyInstrumentor().instrument(tracer_provider=tracer_provider)
    return tracer_provider
```

<Info>
  The `mapping` parameter in EvalTag tells the evaluator where to find the necessary data within the trace. This is crucial for accurate evaluation.
</Info>

### Step 3: Define Models and Test Scenarios

Configure the models you want to test and create test scenarios:

```python theme={"system"}
def get_models():
    """Setup model configurations with their Portkey Virtual Keys"""
    return [
        {
            "name": "GPT-4o",
            "provider": "OpenAI",
            "virtual_key": "openai-virtual-key",
            "model_id": "gpt-4o"
        },
        {
            "name": "Claude-3.7-Sonnet",
            "provider": "Anthropic",
            "virtual_key": "anthropic-virtual-key",
            "model_id": "claude-3-7-sonnet-latest"
        },
        {
            "name": "Llama-3-70b",
            "provider": "Groq",
            "virtual_key": "groq-virtual-key",
            "model_id": "llama3-70b-8192"
        },
    ]

def get_test_scenarios():
    """Returns a dictionary of test scenarios"""
    return {
        "reasoning_logic": "A farmer has 17 sheep. All but 9 die. How many are left?",
        "creative_writing": "Write a 6-word story about a robot who discovers music.",
        "code_generation": "Write a Python function to find the nth Fibonacci number.",
    }
```

### Step 4: Execute Tests with Automatic Evaluation

Run tests on each model while capturing both operational metrics and quality evaluations:

```python theme={"system"}
async def test_model(model_config, prompt):
    """Tests a single model with a single prompt and returns the response"""

    tracer_provider = setup_tracing(model_config["name"])

    print(f"Testing {model_config['name']}...")

    client = Portkey(virtual_key=model_config['virtual_key'])
    start_time = time.time()

    completion = await client.chat.completions.create(
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
        model=model_config['model_id'],
        max_tokens=1024,
        temperature=0.5
    )
    response_time = time.time() - start_time
    response_text = completion.choices[0].message.content or ""

    return response_text

async def main():
    """Main execution function to run all tests"""
    models_to_test = get_models()
    scenarios = get_test_scenarios()

    for test_name, prompt in scenarios.items():
        print(f"\n{'='*20} SCENARIO: {test_name.upper()} {'='*20}")
        print(f"PROMPT: {prompt}")
        print("-" * 60)

        for model in models_to_test:
            await test_model(model, prompt)

        await asyncio.sleep(1)  # Brief pause between scenarios
        PortkeyInstrumentor().uninstrument()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

## Viewing Results

### Portkey Dashboard - Operational View

Access your Portkey dashboard to see operational metrics for all API calls:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Portkey Dashboard showing operational metrics like latency, costs, and token usage" />
</Frame>

Key metrics:

* **Unified Logs**: Single view of all requests across providers
* **Cost Tracking**: Automatic cost calculation for every call
* **Latency Monitoring**: Response time comparisons across models
* **Token Usage**: Detailed token consumption analytics

## Advanced Use Cases

### Complex Agentic Workflows

The integration supports tracing complex workflows where you chain multiple LLM calls:

```python theme={"system"}
# Example: E-commerce assistant with multiple LLM calls
async def ecommerce_assistant_workflow(user_query):
    # Step 1: Intent classification
    intent = await classify_intent(user_query)

    # Step 2: Product search
    products = await search_products(intent)

    # Step 3: Generate response
    response = await generate_response(products, user_query)

    # All steps are automatically traced and evaluated
    return response
```

### CI/CD Integration

Leverage this integration in your CI/CD pipelines for:

* **Automated Model Testing**: Run evaluation suites on new model versions
* **Quality Gates**: Set thresholds for evaluation scores before deployment
* **Performance Monitoring**: Track degradation in model quality over time

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

* Python
* Portkey account with API key
* OpenAI API key (or use Portkey's virtual keys)

### Step 1: Install Dependencies

Install the required packages for Logfire and Portkey integration:

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install logfire openai portkey-ai
```

### Step 2: Basic Setup - Send Traces to Portkey

First, let's configure Logfire to send traces to Portkey's OpenTelemetry endpoint:

```python theme={"system"}
import os
import logfire

# Configure OpenTelemetry export to Portkey
os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT"] = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/logs/otel"
os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS"] = "x-portkey-api-key=YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"

# Initialize Logfire
logfire.configure(
    service_name='my-llm-app',
    send_to_logfire=False,  # Disable sending to Logfire cloud
)

# Instrument OpenAI globally
logfire.instrument_openai()
```

### Step 3: Complete Setup - Use Portkey's Gateway

For the best experience, route your LLM calls through Portkey's gateway to get automatic optimizations:

```python theme={"system"}
import logfire
import os
from portkey_ai import createHeaders
from openai import OpenAI

# Configure OpenTelemetry export
os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT"] = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/logs/otel"
os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS"] = "x-portkey-api-key=YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"

# Initialize Logfire
logfire.configure(
    service_name='my-llm-app',
    send_to_logfire=False,
)

# Create OpenAI client with Portkey's gateway
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY",  # Or use a dummy value with virtual keys
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        virtual_key="YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY"  # Optional: Use Portkey's secure key management
    )
)

# Instrument the Portkey-configured client
logfire.instrument_openai(client)
```

### Step 4: Make Instrumented LLM Calls

Now your LLM calls are automatically traced by Logfire and enhanced by Portkey:

```python theme={"system"}
# Simple chat completion - automatically traced
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Explain the benefits of observability in LLM applications"
        }
    ],
    temperature=0.7
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

# Authentication
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/authentication



To ensure secure access to Portkey's APIs, authentication is required for all requests. This guide provides the necessary steps to authenticate your requests using the Portkey API key, regardless of whether you are using the SDKs for Python and JavaScript, the OpenAI SDK, or making REST API calls directly.

## Obtaining Your API Key

[Create](https://app.portkey.ai/signup) or [log in](https://app.portkey.ai/login) to your Portkey account. Grab your account's API key from the "Settings" page.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Based on your access level, you might see the relevant permissions on the API key modal - tick the ones you'd like, name your API key, and save it.

  You can also authenticate Portkey using JWT Tokens. Learn more here

## Authentication with SDKs

### Portkey SDKs

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```ts theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // Replace with your actual API key
        virtualKey: "VIRTUAL_KEY"  // Optional: Use for virtual key management
    })

    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
        model: 'gpt-4o',
    });

    console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    client = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your actual API key
        provider="@VIRTUAL_KEY"   # Optional: Use if virtual keys are set up

    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### OpenAI SDK

When integrating Portkey through the OpenAI SDK, modify the base URL and add the `x-portkey-api-key` header for authentication. Here's an example of how to do it:

<Info>
  We use the `createHeaders` helper function from the Portkey SDK here to easily create Portkey headers.

  You can pass the raw headers (`x-portkey-api-key`, `x-portkey-provider`) directly in the `defaultHeaders` param as well.

## JWT-based Authentication

Portkey supports JWT-based authentication as a secure alternative to API Key authentication. With JWT authentication, clients can authenticate API requests using a JWT token that is validated against a configured JWKS (JSON Web Key Set).

This enterprise-grade authentication method is available as an add-on to any Portkey plan. JWT authentication provides enhanced security through:

* Temporary, expiring tokens
* Fine-grained permission scopes
* User identity tracking
* Centralized authentication management

### Notes

* The strategy `mode` key determines the operational mode of the config. If strategy `mode` is not specified, a single provider mode is assumed, requiring either `provider` and `api_key` or `virtual_key`.
* In `loadbalance` and `fallback` modes, the `targets` array specifies the configurations for each target.
* The `cache` and `retry` objects provide additional configurations for caching and retry policies, respectively.

# Errors
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/error-codes



Portkey uses conventional response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general: Codes in the `2xx` range indicate success. Codes in the `4xx` range indicate an error that failed given the information provided. Codes in the `5xx` range indicate an error with Portkey’s servers (these are rare).

## Common Errors

During request processing, you may encounter error codes from either Portkey or the LLM provider:

| Status Code | Description                                  | Source              |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| `408`       | Request timed out                            | Portkey OR Provider |
| `412`       | Budget exhausted                             | Portkey OR Provider |
| `429`       | Request rate limited                         | Portkey OR Provider |
| `446`       | Guardrail checks failed (request denied)     | Portkey             |
| `246`       | Guardrail checks failed (request successful) | Portkey             |

<Note>
  Provider-specific error codes are passed through by Portkey. For debugging these errors, refer to our [Error Library](https://portkey.ai/error-library).

# Gateway to Other APIs
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/gateway-for-other-apis

Access any custom provider endpoint through Portkey API

<Note>
  This feature is available on all Portkey plans.
</Note>

Portkey API has first-class support for monitoring and routing your requests to 10+ provider endpoints, like `/chat/completions`, `/audio`, `/embeddings`, etc. We also make these endpoints work across 250+ different LLMs.

**However**, there are still many endpoints like Cohere's `/rerank` or Deepgram's `/listen` that are uncommon or have niche use cases.

With the **Gateway to Other APIs** feature, you can route to any custom provider endpoint using Portkey (including the ones hosted on your private setups) and get **complete logging & monitoring** for all your requests.

## Supported HTTP Methods

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="POST" />

  <Card title="GET" />

  <Card title="PUT" />

  <Card title="DELETE" />
</CardGroup>

Both the REST API and Portkey SDKs (Python, NodeJS) support all of these HTTP methods.

# How to Integrate

1. Get your Portkey API key
2. Add your provider details to Portkey
3. Make your request using Portkey's API or SDK

## 1. Get Portkey API Key

Create or log in to your Portkey account. Grab your account's API key from the ["API Keys" page](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys).

## 2. Add Provider Details

Choose one of these authentication methods:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Option 1. Generate a Virtual Key (Recommended)">
    Portkey integrates with 40+ LLM providers. Add your provider credentials (such as API key) to Portkey, and get a virtual key that you can use to authenticate and send your requests.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
      curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/rerank \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
        -H "x-portkey-virtual-key: $PORTKEY_PROVIDER" \
      ```

      ```py Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
        api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        virtual_key = "PROVIDER"
      )
      ```

      ```ts JavaScript theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
        virtualKey: 'PROVIDER'
      });
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    <Note>
      Creating virtual keys lets you:

      * Manage all credentials in one place
      * Rotate between different provider keys
      * Set custom budget limits & rate limits per key
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Option 2. Direct Provider Auth">
    Set the provider name from one of Portkey's 40+ supported providers list and use your provider credentials directly with each request.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
      curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/rerank \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
        -H "x-portkey-provider: cohere" \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer $COHERE_API_KEY" \
      ```

      ```py Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
        api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider = "cohere",
        Authorization = "Bearer COHERE_API_KEY"
      )
      ```

      ```ts JavaScript theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
        provider: "cohere",
        Authorization: "Bearer COHERE_API_KEY"
      });
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Option 3. Custom Hosted Endpoint">
    Route to your privately hosted model endpoints.

    * Choose a compatible provider type (e.g., `openai`, `cohere`)
    * Provide your endpoint URL with `customHost`
    * Include `Authentication` if needed

    <CodeGroup>
      ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
      curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/rerank \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
        -H "x-portkey-provider: cohere" \
        -H "x-portkey-custom-host: https://182.145.24.5:8080/v1" \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer $COHERE_API_KEY" \
      ```

      ```py Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
        api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider = "cohere",
        custom_host = "https://182.145.24.5:8080/v1",
        Authorization = "Bearer COHERE_API_KEY"
      )
      ```

      ```ts JavaScript theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
        provider: "cohere",
        customHost: "https://182.145.24.5:8080/v1",
        Authorization: "Bearer COHERE_API_KEY"

# Caveats & Considerations

* Response objects are returned exactly as received from the provider, without Portkey transformations
* REST API supports all HTTP methods: `POST`, `GET`, `PUT`, and `DELETE`
* SDK supports all HTTP methods: `POST`, `GET`, `PUT`, and `DELETE`
* There are no limitations on which provider endpoints can be proxied
* All requests are logged and monitored through your Portkey dashboard

# Headers
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/headers

Header requirements and options for the Portkey API

Portkey API accepts 4 kinds of headers for your requests:

|                                                           |            |                                                                |
| :-------------------------------------------------------- | :--------- | :------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Portkey Authentication Header                             | `Required` | For Portkey auth                                               |
| Provider Authentication Headers OR Cloud-Specific Headers | `Required` | For provider auth                                              |
| Additional Portkey Headers                                | `Optional` | To pass `config`, `metadata`, `trace id`, `cache refresh` etc. |
| Custom Headers                                            | `Optional` | To forward any other headers directly                          |

## Portkey Authentication

### Portkey API Key

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-api-key / api_key / apiKey" type="string">
  Authenticate your requests with your Portkey API key. Obtain API key from the [Portkey dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys).<br />
  Environment variable: `PORTKEY_API_KEY`

  <Accordion title="Example">
    <CodeGroup>
      ```sh cURL {2} theme={"system"}
      curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
        -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      ```

      ```py Python {4} theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
        api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY" # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
      )
      ```

      ```js JavaScript {4} theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY' // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
      });
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Accordion>
</ResponseField>

## Provider Authentication

In addition to the Portkey API key, you must provide information about the AI provider you're using. There are **4** ways to do this:

### 1. Provider Slug + Auth

Useful if you do not want to save your API keys to Portkey vault and make direct requests.

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-provider / provider" type="string">
  Specifies the provider you're using (e.g., `openai`, `anthropic`, `vertex-ai`).<br />
  List of [Portkey supported providers here](/integrations/llms).
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Authorization" type="string">
  Pass the auth details for the specified provider as a `"Bearer $TOKEN"`.<br /><br />
  If your provider expects their auth with headers such as `x-api-key` or `api-key`, you can pass the token with the `Authorization` header directly and Portkey will convert it into the provider-specific format.
</ResponseField>

<Accordion title="Example">
  <CodeGroup>
    ```sh cURL {3,4} theme={"system"}
    curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      -H "x-portkey-provider: openai" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
    ```

    ```py Python {5,6} theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
      api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
      provider = "openai",
      Authorization = "Bearer OPENAI_API_KEY"
    )
    ```

    ```js JavaScript {5,6} theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

    const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY', // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
      provider: 'openai',
      Authorization: 'Bearer OPENAI_API_KEY'
    });
    ```
  </CodeGroup>
</Accordion>

### 2. Virtual Key

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-virtual-key / virtual_key / virtualKey" type="string">
  Save your provider auth on Portkey and use a virtual key to directly make a call. [Docs](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys))
</ResponseField>

<Accordion title="Example">
  <CodeGroup>
    ```sh cURL {3} theme={"system"}
    curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      -H "x-portkey-virtual-key: openai-virtual-key" \
    ```

    ```py Python {5} theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
      api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
      virtual_key = "openai-virtual-key"
    )
    ```

    ```js JavaScript {5} theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

    const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY', // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
      virtualKey: 'openai-virtual-key'
    });
    ```
  </CodeGroup>
</Accordion>

### 3. Config

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-config / config" type="string or JSON">
  Pass your Portkey config with this header. Accepts a `JSON object` or a `config ID` that can also contain gateway configuration settings, and provider details.<br />

  * Configs can be saved in the Portkey UI and referenced by their ID ([Docs](/product/ai-gateway/configs))
  * Configs also enable other optional features like Caching, Load Balancing, Fallback, Retries, and Timeouts.
</ResponseField>

<Accordion title="Example">
  <CodeGroup>
    ```sh cURL {3} theme={"system"}

    # You can also send raw JSON
    # config = {"provider": "openai", "api_key": "OPENAI_API_KEY"}
    )
    ```

    ```js JavaScript {5} theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

    const portkey = new Portkey({

      config: 'openai-config'
    // You can also send raw JSON
    // config: {"provider": "openai", "api_key": "OPENAI_API_KEY"}
    });
    ```
  </CodeGroup>
</Accordion>

### 4. Custom Host

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-custom-host / custom_host / customHost" type="string">
  Specifies the base URL where you want to send your request
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-provider / provider" type="string">
  Target provider that's availabe on your base URL. If you are unsure of which target provider to set, you can set `openai`.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Authorization" type="string">
  Pass the auth details for the specified provider as a `"Bearer $TOKEN"`.<br /><br />
  If your provider expects their auth with headers such as `x-api-key` or `api-key`, you can pass the token with the `Authorization` header directly and Portkey will convert it into the provider-specific format.

</Accordion>

## Custom Headers

You can pass any other headers your API expects by directly forwarding them without any processing by Portkey.<br />
This is especially useful if you want to pass send sensitive headers.

### Forward Headers

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-forward-headers / forward_headers / forwardHeaders" type="array of strings">
  Pass all the headers you want to forward directly in this array. ([Docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/welcome/integration-guides/byollm#forward-sensitive-headers-securely))
</ResponseField>

<Accordion title="Example">
  <CodeGroup>
    ```sh cURL {4-6} theme={"system"}
    curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      -H "x-portkey-virtual-key: openai-virtual-key" \
      -H "X-Custom-Header: ...."\
      -H "Another-Header: ....."\
      -H "x-portkey-forward-headers: ['X-Custom-Header', 'Another-Header']" \
    ```

    ```py Python {6} theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
      api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
      virtual_key = "openai-virtual-key",
      X_Custom_Header = "....",
      Another_Header = "....",
      forward_headers = ['X_Custom_Header', 'Another_Header']
    )
    ```

    ```js JavaScript {6} theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

    const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY', // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
      virtualKey: "openai-virtual-key",
      CustomHeader: "....",
      AnotherHeader: "....",
      forwardHeaders: ['CustomHeader', 'AnotherHeader']
    });
    ```
  </CodeGroup>

  <Note>
    #### Python Usage

    With the Python SDK, you need to transform your headers to **Snake Case** and then include them while initializing the Portkey client.
    Example: If you have a header of the format `X-My-Custom-Header`, it should be sent as `X_My_Custom_Header` in the SDK

    #### JavaScript Usage

    With the JS SDK, you need to transform your headers to **Camel Case** and then include them while initializing the Portkey client.
    Example: If you have a header of the format `X-My-Custom-Header`, it should be sent as `xMyCustomHeader` in the SDK
  </Note>
</Accordion>

## Cloud-Specific Headers (`Azure`, `Google`, `AWS`)

Pass more configuration headers for `Azure OpenAI`, `Google Vertex AI`, or `AWS Bedrock`

### Azure

* `x-portkey-azure-resource-name`, `x-portkey-azure-deployment-id`, `x-portkey-azure-api-version`, `Authorization`, `x-portkey-azure-model-name`

### Google Vertex AI

* `x-portkey-vertex-project-id`, `x-portkey-vertex-region`, `X-Vertex-AI-LLM-Request-Type`

### AWS Bedrock

* `x-portkey-aws-session-token`, `x-portkey-aws-secret-access-key`, `x-portkey-aws-region`, `x-portkey-aws-session-token`

***

## List of All Headers

The following is a comprehensive list of headers that can be used when initializing the Portkey client.

Portkey adheres to language-specific naming conventions:

* **camelCase** for **JavaScript/Node.js** parameters
* **snake\_case** for **Python** parameters
* **hyphenated-keys** for **HTTP headers**

# Introduction
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/introduction

This documentation provides detailed information about the various ways you can access and interact with Portkey - **a robust AI gateway** designed to simplify and enhance your experience with Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI's GPT models. 

Whether you're integrating directly with OpenAI, using a framework like Langchain or LlamaIndex, or building standalone applications, Portkey offers a flexible, secure, and efficient way to manage and deploy AI-powered features.

## 3 Ways to Integrate Portkey

Portkey can be accessed through three primary methods, each catering to different use cases and integration requirements:

### 1. Portkey SDKs (Python and JavaScript)

**Ideal for:** standalone applications or when you're not already using the OpenAI integration. The SDKs are also highly recommended for seamless integration with frameworks like Langchain and LlamaIndex.

The Portkey SDKs are available in Python and JavaScript, designed to provide a streamlined, code-first approach to integrating LLMs into your applications.

#### Installing the SDK

Choose the SDK that matches your development environment:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    npm install portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    pip install portkey_ai
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

#### Usage

Once installed, you can use the SDK to make calls to LLMs, manage prompts, handle keys, and more, all through a simple and intuitive API.

### 2. OpenAI SDK through the Portkey Gateway

**Ideal for:** if you're currently utilizing OpenAI's Python or Node.js SDKs. By changing the base URL and adding Portkey-specific headers, you can quickly integrate Portkey's features into your existing setup.

Learn more [here](/integrations/llms/openai).

### 3. REST API

**Ideal for:** applications that prefer RESTful services. The base URL for all REST API requests is `https://api.portkey.ai/v1`, with an [authentication](/api-reference/inference-api/authentication) header.

Learn more [here](/api-reference/inference-api/chat).

    Passing the `{promptId}` always calls the `Published` version of your prompt.

    But, you can also call a specific template version by appending its version number, like `{promptId@12}`:

    **Version Tags**:

    * `@latest`: Calls the <Tooltip>most recent version</Tooltip>
    * `@{NUMBER}` (like `@12`): Calls the specified version number
    * `No Suffix`: Here, Portkey defaults to the `Published` version

# Prompt Render
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/prompts/render

post /prompts/{promptId}/render
Renders a prompt template with its variable values filled in


Given a prompt ID, variable values, and *optionally* any hyperparameters, this API returns a JSON object containing the **raw prompt template**.

<Note>
  Note: Unlike inference requests, Prompt Render API calls are processed through Portkey's Control Plane services.
</Note>

<Accordion icon="lightbulb" title="Example: Using Prompt Render output in a new request">
  Here’s how you can take the output from the `render API` and use it for making a separate LLM call. We’ll take example of OpenAI SDKs, but you can use it simlarly for any other frameworks like Langchain etc. as well.

  <CodeGroup>
    ```py OpenAI Python theme={"system"}

      prompt_id="PROMPT_ID",
      variables={ "movie":"Dune 2" }

# Response Schema
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/response-schema



With each request, Portkey sends back **Portkey-specific** headers that can help you identify the state of specific Portkey features you are using.

We send the following 4 response headers:

| Header                             | Value                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| :--------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `x-portkey-trace-id`               | Returns a `unique trace id` for each response. In case the user has already sent a trace id with x-portkey-trace-id in their `request body,` then that is used here instead of generating a new id.                                                                                                                                                                   |
| `x-portkey-retry-attempt-count`    | Returns the number of `retry attempts` made for the call. Request made for the first time is not counted, `only` the attempts are counted. So, if the value is 3, that means that a total of 4 (1+3) calls were made.                                                                                                                                                 |
| `x-portkey-cache-status`           | Returns the `cache status` for the call. • HIT (simple cache hit) • SEMANTIC HIT (semantic cache hit) • MISS (simple cache header was sent in the request, but returned a miss) • SEMANTIC MISS (semantic cache header was sent in the request, but returned a miss) • DISABLED (no cache header sent) • REFRESH (cache force refresh was true in the request header) |
| `x-portkey-last-used-option-index` | Returns the nested `target index` (as jsonpath) for the Config id used while making the call.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

## Implementation Overview

1. Install OpenAI SDK
2. Create Portkey client by extending OpenAI client
3. Use the client in your application to make requests

### 1. Install the NuGet package

Add the OpenAI [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/) package to your .NET project:

```sh theme={"system"}
dotnet add package OpenAI
```

### 2. Create Portkey Client Extension

The OpenAI package does not support directly modifying the base URL or passing additional headers. So, we write a simple function to extend OpenAI's `ChatClient` or `EmbeddingClient` to create a new `PortkeyClient`.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Chat">
    ```csharp theme={"system"}
    using OpenAI;
    using OpenAI.Chat;
    using System.ClientModel;
    using System.ClientModel.Primitives;

    public static class PortkeyClient
    {
        private class HeaderPolicy : PipelinePolicy
        {
            private readonly Dictionary<string, string> _headers;
            public HeaderPolicy(Dictionary<string, string> headers) => _headers = headers;

            public override void Process(PipelineMessage message, IReadOnlyList<PipelinePolicy> pipeline, int index)
            {
                foreach (var header in _headers) message.Request.Headers.Set(header.Key, header.Value);
                if (index < pipeline.Count) pipeline[index].Process(message, pipeline, index + 1);
            }

            public override ValueTask ProcessAsync(PipelineMessage message, IReadOnlyList<PipelinePolicy> pipeline, int index)
            {
                Process(message, pipeline, index);
                return ValueTask.CompletedTask;
            }
        }

        public static OpenAIClient CreateClient(Dictionary<string, string> headers)
        {
            var options = new OpenAIClientOptions { Endpoint = new Uri("https://api.portkey.ai/v1") };
            options.AddPolicy(new HeaderPolicy(headers), PipelinePosition.PerCall);
            return new OpenAIClient(new ApiKeyCredential("dummy"), options);
        }

        public static ChatClient CreateChatClient(Dictionary<string, string> headers, string model)
        {
            var client = CreateClient(headers);
            return client.GetChatClient(model);
        }
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Embedding">
    ```csharp theme={"system"}
    using OpenAI;
    using OpenAI.Embeddings;
    using System.ClientModel;
    using System.ClientModel.Primitives;

    public static class PortkeyClient

        }
    }
    ```

### 3. Use the Portkey Client

After creating the extension above, you can pass any [Portkey supported headers](/api-reference/inference-api/headers) directly while creating the new client.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Chat">
    ```csharp theme={"system"}
    // Define Portkey headers
    var headers = new Dictionary<string, string> {
        // Required headers
        { "x-portkey-api-key", "..." },           // Your Portkey API key
        { "x-portkey-provider", "@openai-prod" }, // Provider slug from Model Catalog

        // Optional headers
        { "x-portkey-trace-id", "my-app" },       // Custom trace identifier
        { "x-portkey-config", "..." },            // Send Config ID
        // Add any other Portkey headers as needed
    };

    // Create client
    var client = PortkeyClient.CreateChatClient(
        headers: headers,
        model: "gpt-4o"
    );

    // Make request
    var response = client.CompleteChat(new UserChatMessage("Hello!"));
    Console.WriteLine(response.Value.Content[0].Text);
    ```

    <Tip>
      Add providers in the [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog) to get a provider slug (e.g., `@openai-prod`). The legacy `x-portkey-virtual-key` header is still supported.
    </Tip>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Embedding">
    ```csharp theme={"system"}
    // Define Portkey headers
    var headers = new Dictionary<string, string> {
        // Required headers
        { "x-portkey-api-key", "..." },           // Your Portkey API key
        { "x-portkey-provider", "@openai-prod" }, // Provider slug from Model Catalog

        // Optional headers
        { "x-portkey-trace-id", "..." },          // Custom trace identifier
        { "x-portkey-config", "..." },            // Send Config ID
        // Add any other Portkey headers as needed
    };

    // Create embedding client through Portkey
    var client = PortkeyClient.CreateEmbeddingClient(
        headers: headers,
        model: "text-embedding-3-large"
    );

    // Text that we want to embed
    string description = "Best hotel in town if you like luxury hotels. They have an amazing infinity pool, a spa,"
        + " and a really helpful concierge. The location is perfect -- right downtown, close to all the tourist"
        + " attractions. We highly recommend this hotel.";

    // Generate embedding
    var embeddingResult = client.GenerateEmbedding(description);
    var vector = embeddingResult.Value.ToFloats();

    Console.WriteLine($"Full embedding dimensions: {vector.Length}");
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Info>
  While we show common headers here, you can pass any Portkey-supported headers to enable features like custom metadata, fallbacks, caching, retries, and more.

### 4. View Your Request in Portkey Logs

This request will now be logged on Portkey:

## Chat Completions Example

Add your Azure OpenAI details in the [Model Catalog](/integrations/llms/azure-openai#portkey-sdk-integration-with-azure-openai) to get a provider slug.

```csharp [expandable] theme={"system"}
using OpenAI;
using OpenAI.Chat;
using System.ClientModel;
using System.ClientModel.Primitives;

public static class Portkey
{
    private class HeaderPolicy : PipelinePolicy
    {
        private readonly Dictionary<string, string> _headers;
        public HeaderPolicy(Dictionary<string, string> headers) => _headers = headers;

        public override void Process(PipelineMessage message, IReadOnlyList<PipelinePolicy> pipeline, int index)
        {
            foreach (var header in _headers) message.Request.Headers.Set(header.Key, header.Value);
            if (index < pipeline.Count) pipeline[index].Process(message, pipeline, index + 1);
        }

        public override ValueTask ProcessAsync(PipelineMessage message, IReadOnlyList<PipelinePolicy> pipeline, int index)
        {
            Process(message, pipeline, index);
            return ValueTask.CompletedTask;
        }
    }

    public static ChatClient CreateChatClient(Dictionary<string, string> headers, string model)
    {
        var options = new OpenAIClientOptions { Endpoint = new Uri("https://api.portkey.ai/v1") };
        options.AddPolicy(new HeaderPolicy(headers), PipelinePosition.PerCall);
        return new OpenAIClient(new ApiKeyCredential("dummy"), options).GetChatClient(model);
    }
}

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var client = Portkey.CreateChatClient(
            headers: new Dictionary<string, string> {
                { "x-portkey-api-key", "PORTKEY API KEY" },
                { "x-portkey-provider", "@azure-openai-prod" }, // Provider slug from Model Catalog
                { "x-portkey-trace-id", "dotnet" }
            },
            model: "gpt-4o" // Model name configured in your Azure deployment
        );

        Console.WriteLine(client.CompleteChat(new UserChatMessage("1729")).Value.Content[0].Text);
    }

## Microsoft Semantic Kernel Example

We can make use of the [Portkey client we created above](/api-reference/inference-api/sdks/c-sharp#2-create-portkey-client-extension) to initialize the Semantic Kernel.
(Please make use of the `CreateClient` method and not `CreateChatClient` method to create the client)

```csharp [expandable] theme={"system"}
using Microsoft.SemanticKernel;
using Microsoft.SemanticKernel.ChatCompletion;

public class Program
{
    public static async Task Main()
    {
        var headers = new Dictionary<string, string> {
            // Required headers
            { "x-portkey-api-key", "..." },           // Your Portkey API key
            { "x-portkey-provider", "@openai-prod" }, // Provider slug from Model Catalog

            // Optional headers
            // { "x-portkey-trace-id", "my-app" },    // Custom trace identifier
            // { "x-portkey-config", "..." },         // Send Config ID
            // Add any other Portkey headers as needed
        };

        // Create client
        var client = PortkeyClient.CreateClient(headers);

        var builder = Kernel.CreateBuilder().AddOpenAIChatCompletion("gpt-4", client);
        Kernel kernel = builder.Build();
        var chatCompletionService = kernel.GetRequiredService<IChatCompletionService>();

        var history = new ChatHistory();

        // Initiate a back-and-forth chat
        string? userInput;
        do {
            // Collect user input
            Console.Write("User > ");
            userInput = Console.ReadLine();

            // Add user input
            history.AddUserMessage(userInput);

            // Get the response from the AI
            var result = await chatCompletionService.GetChatMessageContentAsync(
                history,
                null,
                kernel: kernel);

            // Print the results
            Console.WriteLine("Assistant > " + result);

            // Add the message from the agent to the chat history
            history.AddMessage(result.Role, result.Content ?? string.Empty);
        } while (userInput is not null);
    }
}
```

## More Features

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Async Usage">
    You can also use the `PortkeyClient` to send `Async` requests:

    ```csharp theme={"system"}
    var completion = await client.CompleteChatAsync(new UserChatMessage("Hello!"));
    Console.WriteLine(completion.Value.Content[0].Text);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Multi-Turn Conversation">
    Use the `SystemChatMessage` and `UserChatMessage` properties from the OpenAI package to create multi-turn conversations:

    ```csharp theme={"system"}
    var messages = new List<ChatMessage>
    {
        new SystemChatMessage("You are a helpful assistant."),
        new UserChatMessage("What is the capital of France?")
    };

    var completion = client.CompleteChat(messages);
    messages.Add(new AssistantChatMessage(completion));
    ```

  <Tab title="Call Anthropic Models">
    Switching providers is just a matter of swapping out your virtual key. Change the virtual key to Anthropic, set the model name, and start making requests to Anthropic from the OpenAI .NET library.

  <Card icon="js" href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/portkey-ai"> ![](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/portkey-ai.svg) </Card>
  <Card icon="github" href="https://github.com/Portkey-AI/portkey-node-sdk"> Github Repo </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Installation

Install the Portkey SDK from npm:

```bash theme={"system"}
npm install portkey-ai
# or
yarn add portkey-ai
# or
pnpm add portkey-ai
```

***

## API Key Setup

1. [Create a Portkey API key](https://app.portkey.ai) in your dashboard.
2. Store your API key securely as an environment variable:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh macOS/Linux theme={"system"}
  export PORTKEY_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
  ```

  ```sh Windows(PowerShell) theme={"system"}
  setx PORTKEY_API_KEY "your_api_key_here"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>The SDK automatically detects your API key from the environment.</Info>

***

## Quickstart

Here's a minimal example to get you started:

```ts theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
  provider: '@openai-prod' // Provider slug from Model Catalog
});

const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello, world!' }],
  model: 'gpt-4o'
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

<Info>Add providers in the [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog) to get a provider slug (e.g., `@openai-prod`). You can also use a [Config](/api-reference/inference-api/config-object) for advanced routing.</Info>

## Authentication & Configuration

The SDK requires:

* **Portkey API Key**: Your Portkey API key (env var `PORTKEY_API_KEY` recommended)
* **Provider Authentication**:
  * **Provider Slug**: Add a provider in [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog) and use its slug (recommended)
  * **Config**: The [Config object](/api-reference/inference-api/config-object) or config slug for advanced routing
  * **Provider Slug + Auth Headers**: Useful if you do not want to save your API keys to Portkey and make direct requests.

````ts theme={"system"}
// With Provider Slug
const portkey = new Portkey({ apiKey: '...', provider: 'openai' });

// With Config
const portkey = new Portkey({ apiKey: '...', config: 'cf-***' });


---

## Adding Trace ID & Metadata

```ts
const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
  model: 'gpt-4o',
}, {
  traceId: '39e2a60c-b47c-45d8',
  metadata: { _user: '432erf6' }
});

console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
````

### TypeScript Support

Portkey’s Node.js SDK is fully typed and works seamlessly with TypeScript:

```ts theme={"system"}
import Portkey, { ChatCompletionResponse } from 'portkey-ai';
// ...
const response: ChatCompletionResponse = await portkey.chat.completions.create(/* ... */);
```

## Parameters

<Card title="List of All Headers" icon="list" href="/api-reference/inference-api/headers#list-of-all-headers">
  View the complete list of headers that can be used with Portkey API requests, including authentication, configuration, and custom headers.
</Card>

Here's how you can use these headers with the Node.js SDK:

```js theme={"system"}
const portkey = new Portkey({
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    virtualKey: "VIRTUAL_KEY",
    // Add any other headers from the reference
});

// Or at runtime
const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
    {
        messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
        model: "gpt-4o"
    },
    {
        traceId: "your_trace_id",
        metadata: { _user: "user_id" },
        // Add any other headers as needed
    }
);

Official Portkey Python SDK to help take your AI apps to production

The official Python SDK makes it easy to integrate Portkey into any Python application. Enjoy unified access to 250+ LLMs, advanced observability, routing, governance, and enterprise features with just a few lines of code.

<CardGroup>
  <Card icon="badge-check">Official</Card>
  <Card icon="python" href="https://pypi.org/project/portkey-ai"> ![](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/portkey-ai.svg) </Card>
  <Card icon="github" href="https://github.com/Portkey-AI/portkey-python-sdk"> Github Repo </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Installation

Install the Portkey SDK from PyPI:

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install portkey-ai
```

## API Key Setup

1. [Create a Portkey API key](https://app.portkey.ai) in your dashboard.
2. Store your API key securely as an environment variable:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh macOS/Linux theme={"system"}
  export PORTKEY_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
  ```

  ```sh Windows(PowerShell) theme={"system"}
  setx PORTKEY_API_KEY "your_api_key_here"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>The SDK automatically detects your API key from the environment.</Info>

## Quickstart

Here’s a minimal example to get you started:

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

client = Portkey(
    api_key="your_api_key_here",  # Or use the env var PORTKEY_API_KEY
    provider="@your_virtual_key_here"  # Or use config="cf-***"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, world!"}],
    model="gpt-4o"  # Example provider/model
)
```

<Info> You can use either a Virtual Key or a Config object to select your AI provider. Find more info on different authentication mechanisms [here](/api-reference/inference-api/headers#provider-authentication).</Info>

## Authentication & Configuration

The SDK requires:

* **Portkey API Key**: Your Portkey API key (env var `PORTKEY_API_KEY` recommended)
* **Provider Authentication**:
  * **Virtual Key**: The [Virtual Key](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys#using-virtual-keys) of your chosen AI provider
  * **Config**: The [Config object](/api-reference/inference-api/config-object) or config slug for advanced routing
  * **Provider Slug + Auth Headers**: Useful if you do not want to save your API keys to Portkey and make direct requests.

```python theme={"system"}
# With Virtual Key
portkey = Portkey(api_key="...", provider="@...")

# With Config
portkey = Portkey(api_key="...", config="cf-***")

# With Provider Slug + Auth Headers
portkey = Portkey(api_key="...", provider="openai", Authorization = "Bearer OPENAI_API_KEY")
```

## Async Usage

Portkey supports **Async** usage - just use `AsyncPortkey` client instead of `Portkey` with `await`:

```py Python theme={"system"}
import asyncio
from portkey_ai import AsyncPortkey

portkey = AsyncPortkey(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    provider="@VIRTUAL_KEY"
)

async def main():
    chat_completion = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Say this is a test'}],
        model='gpt-4'
    )

    print(chat_completion)

asyncio.run(main())
```

## Using a Custom httpx Client

If you need to customize HTTP networking—for example, to disable SSL verification due to VPNs like Zscaler or to use custom proxies—you can pass your own `httpx.Client` to the Portkey SDK.

<Warning>Disabling SSL certificate verification is insecure and should only be used for debugging or in trusted internal environments. Never use this in production.</Warning>

**Example: Disable SSL Verification**

```python theme={"system"}
import httpx
from portkey_ai import Portkey

# Create an httpx client with SSL verification disabled
custom_client = httpx.Client(verify=False)

portkey = Portkey(
    api_key="your_api_key_here",
    provider="@your_virtual_key_here",
    http_client=custom_client
)

response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    model="gpt-4o"
)
print(response)
```

* You can use any `httpx.Client` options (e.g., for proxies, timeouts, custom headers).
* For async usage, pass an `httpx.AsyncClient` to `AsyncPortkey`.
* See [OpenAI Python SDK: Configuring the HTTP client](https://github.com/openai/openai-python#configuring-the-http-client) for more examples and best practices.

## Adding Trace ID or Metadata

You can choose to override the configuration in individual requests as well and send trace id or metadata along with each request.

```python theme={"system"}
completion = portkey.with_options(
    trace_id = "TRACE_ID",
    metadata = {"_user": "USER_IDENTIFIER"}
).chat.completions.create(
    messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
    model = 'gpt-4o'
)
```

## Parameters

Connect your MCP servers to Cursor IDE through Portkey's secure MCP gateway

## Overview

Cursor is an AI-powered IDE that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) for enhanced code intelligence and tool integration. Through Portkey's MCP Gateway, you can seamlessly connect any MCP server to Cursor without managing infrastructure or authentication.

### Key Benefits

* **Secure Authentication**: Portkey handles OAuth flows and token management
* **Unified Authentication**: Single OAuth token to manage all your MCP servers
* **Team Collaboration**: Share MCP server configurations, manage access permissions, and ensure everyone on your team has the tools they need—configured correctly, every time
* **Complete Observability**: See every request, track latency, monitor errors, and understand usage patterns

***

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

1. **Cursor IDE** installed (latest version recommended)
2. **Portkey account** with workspace access
3. **MCP server** registered in Portkey's MCP Hub

***

## Quick Setup

### Step 1: Get Your MCP Server URL

1. Log in to [Portkey Dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai)
2. Navigate to **MCP Hub** → **Your Servers**
3. Copy your server URL:
   ```
   https://mcp.portkey.ai/:workspace-id/:server-id/mcp
   ```

### Step 2: Configure MCP for Your Project (Recommended)

We recommend configuring MCP servers at the **project level** for better organization and team collaboration.

1. Navigate to your project root directory
2. Create the configuration directory and file:
   ```bash theme={"system"}
   mkdir -p .cursor
   cd .cursor
   ```
3. Create `mcp.json` in the `.cursor` directory

### Step 3: Add Your Server Configuration

Add this configuration to `.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "your-server-name": {
      "url": "https://mcp.portkey.ai/:workspace-id/:server-id/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

This project-level configuration ensures:

* Team members automatically get the correct MCP setup when cloning the repository
* Project-specific tools are only available where needed
* Configuration travels with your codebase

***

## Configuration Examples

### Project-Level Configuration (Recommended)

**Location**: `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project root

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linear": {
      "url": "https://mcp.portkey.ai/ws-abc123/linear-def456/mcp"
    },
    "github": {
      "url": "https://mcp.portkey.ai/ws-abc123/github-ghi789/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Global Configuration (Alternative)

For tools you want available across all projects, you can use global configuration:

**Location**: `~/.cursor/mcp.json` in your home directory

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "general-tools": {
      "url": "https://mcp.portkey.ai/ws-abc123/tools-xyz789/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Using Both Configurations

Cursor loads both global and project configurations. Project settings take precedence when there are conflicts.

```bash theme={"system"}
# Project structure
your-project/
├── .cursor/
│   └── mcp.json       # Project-specific MCP servers
├── src/
└── README.md

# Home directory
~/
└── .cursor/
    └── mcp.json       # Global MCP servers
```

***

## Authentication

Portkey handles all authentication flows automatically:

1. **First Connection**: When Cursor first connects to an authenticated MCP server, Portkey will:
   * Open your browser for OAuth authorization (if required)
   * Store credentials securely
   * Maintain session state

2. **Subsequent Connections**: Authentication tokens are refreshed automatically

3. **Team Access**: Workspace members share the same authentication scope based on your Portkey settings

***

## Troubleshooting

### MCP Servers Not Loading

1. Verify `.cursor/mcp.json` exists in your project root
2. Check JSON syntax is valid
3. Restart Cursor after configuration changes

### View MCP Settings

* **Quick Access**: `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P` → `View: Open MCP settings`
* This shows all loaded MCP configurations from both project and global sources

Integrate HoneyHive observability with Portkey's AI gateway for comprehensive LLM monitoring and advanced routing capabilities

HoneyHive is a comprehensive AI observability platform that helps you monitor, evaluate, and improve your LLM applications. When combined with Portkey, you get powerful observability features alongside Portkey's advanced AI gateway capabilities.

This integration allows you to:

* Automatically trace all LLM requests through Portkey's gateway
* Use Portkey's 250+ LLM providers with HoneyHive observability
* Implement advanced features like caching, fallbacks, and load balancing
* Maintain detailed traces and analytics in both platforms

## Quick Start Integration

HoneyHive automatically traces requests to popular LLM providers, making the integration with Portkey seamless. Simply initialize HoneyHive and point your LLM clients to Portkey's gateway.

### Installation

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install portkey-ai honeyhive openai
```

### Basic Setup

```python theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI
from honeyhive import HoneyHiveTracer, trace

# Initialize HoneyHive tracer at the beginning of your application
HoneyHiveTracer.init(
    api_key='YOUR_HONEYHIVE_API_KEY',
    project='your-project-name',
    source='production',  # Optional: dev, staging, production
    session_name='Portkey Integration'  # Optional
)

# Create OpenAI client pointing to Portkey
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
)

# Make requests - automatically traced by HoneyHive
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="@openai-provider-slug/gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, world!"}]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

<Note>
  HoneyHive automatically traces all requests to popular LLM providers, so you get observability data without additional configuration.
</Note>

## Using Portkey Features with HoneyHive

### 1. Trace Functions with @trace Decorator

Use HoneyHive's `@trace` decorator to monitor specific functions:

```python theme={"system"}
@trace
def call_openai():
    client = OpenAI(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
    )

    completion = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="@openai-provider-slug/gpt-4o-mini",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What is the meaning of life?"}]
    )

    return completion.choices[0].message.content

# Call the traced function
result = call_openai()
```

### 2. Multiple Providers

Switch between 250+ LLM providers while maintaining HoneyHive observability:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="OpenAI">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    @trace
    def call_openai():
        client = OpenAI(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
        )
        return client.chat.completions.create(
            model="@openai-provider-slug/gpt-4o-mini",
            messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
        )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Anthropic">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    @trace
    def call_anthropic():
        client = OpenAI(
            api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
            base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
        )
        return client.chat.completions.create(
            model="@anthropic-provider-slug/claude-3-sonnet-20240229",
            messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
        )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 3. Advanced Routing with Configs

Use Portkey's config system for advanced features while tracking in HoneyHive:

```python theme={"system"}
@trace
def advanced_llm_call():
    # Reference a saved config from Portkey dashboard
    client = OpenAI(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
    )

    return client.chat.completions.create(
        model="@config-slug/model-name",  # Your saved config ID
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Analyze this data..."}]
    )
```

Example config for fallback between providers:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_KEY",
      "override_params": {"model": "gpt-4o"}
    },
    {
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "api_key": "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_KEY",
      "override_params": {"model": "claude-3-opus-20240229"}
    }
  ]
}
```

### 4. Caching for Cost Optimization

Enable caching to reduce costs while maintaining full observability:

```python theme={"system"}
@trace
def cached_llm_call():
    client = OpenAI(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
    )

    return client.chat.completions.create(
        model="@cache-config-slug/gpt-4o-mini",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What is machine learning?"}]
    )
```

### 5. Custom Metadata and Tracing

Add custom metadata visible in both HoneyHive and Portkey:

```python theme={"system"}
@trace
def contextualized_llm_call(user_id, query):
    client = OpenAI(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
    )

    return client.chat.completions.create(
        model="@openai-provider-slug/gpt-4o-mini",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": query}],
        # Metadata can be passed directly in the request
        user=user_id

```

<Note>
  This integration automatically logs requests to both Langfuse and Portkey, giving you observability data in both platforms.
</Note>

## Using Portkey Features with Langfuse

### 1. LLM Integrations

LLM Integrations in Portkey allow you to securely manage API keys and set usage limits. Use them with Langfuse for better security:

```python theme={"system"}
from langfuse.openai import OpenAI
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="@openai/gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing"}]
)
```

### 2. Multiple Providers

Switch between 250+ LLM providers while maintaining Langfuse observability:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="OpenAI">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    client = OpenAI(
        api_key="YOUR_OPENAI_KEY",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Anthropic">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    client = OpenAI(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Azure OpenAI">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    client = OpenAI(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 3. Advanced Routing with Configs

Use Portkey's config system for advanced features while tracking in Langfuse:

```python theme={"system"}
# Create a config in Portkey dashboard first, then reference it
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
)
```

Example config for fallback between providers:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider":"@openai-key",
      "override_params": {"model": "gpt-4o"}
    },
    {
      "provider":"@anthropic-key",
      "override_params": {"model": "claude-3-opus-20240229"}
    }
  ]
}
```

### 4. Caching for Cost Optimization

Enable caching to reduce costs while maintaining full observability:

```python theme={"system"}
config = {
    "cache": {
        "mode": "semantic",
        "max_age": 3600
    },
    "provider":"@YOUR_PROVIDER"
}

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        config=config
    )
)
```

### 5. Custom Metadata and Tracing

Add custom metadata visible in both Langfuse and Portkey:

```python theme={"system"}
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        metadata={
            "user_id": "user_123",
            "session_id": "session_456",
            "environment": "production"
        },
        trace_id="langfuse-trace-001"
    )
)
```

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

* Python
* Portkey account with API key
* OpenAI API key (or use Portkey's virtual keys)

### Step 1: Install Dependencies

Install the required packages for Logfire and Portkey integration:

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install logfire openai portkey-ai
```

### Step 2: Basic Setup - Send Traces to Portkey

First, let's configure Logfire to send traces to Portkey's OpenTelemetry endpoint:

```python theme={"system"}
import os
import logfire

# Configure OpenTelemetry export to Portkey
os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT"] = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/logs/otel"
os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS"] = "x-portkey-api-key=YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"

# Initialize Logfire
logfire.configure(
    service_name='my-llm-app',
    send_to_logfire=False,  # Disable sending to Logfire cloud
)

# Instrument OpenAI globally
logfire.instrument_openai()
```

### Step 3: Complete Setup - Use Portkey's Gateway

For the best experience, route your LLM calls through Portkey's gateway to get automatic optimizations:

```python theme={"system"}
import logfire
import os
from portkey_ai import createHeaders
from openai import OpenAI

# Configure OpenTelemetry export
os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT"] = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/logs/otel"
os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS"] = "x-portkey-api-key=YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"

# Initialize Logfire
logfire.configure(
    service_name='my-llm-app',
    send_to_logfire=False,
)

# Create OpenAI client with Portkey's gateway
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY",  # Or use a dummy value with virtual keys
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        virtual_key="YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY"  # Optional: Use Portkey's secure key management
    )
)

# Instrument the Portkey-configured client
logfire.instrument_openai(client)
```

### Step 4: Make Instrumented LLM Calls

Now your LLM calls are automatically traced by Logfire and enhanced by Portkey:

```python theme={"system"}
# Simple chat completion - automatically traced
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Explain the benefits of observability in LLM applications"
        }
    ],
    temperature=0.7
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

* Python
* Portkey account with API key
* OpenAI API key (or use Portkey's virtual keys)

### Step 1: Install Dependencies

Install the required packages for OpenLIT and Portkey integration:

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install openlit openai portkey-ai
```

### Step 2: Configure OpenTelemetry Export

Set up the environment variables to send traces to Portkey's OpenTelemetry endpoint:

```python theme={"system"}
import os

# Configure Portkey endpoint and authentication
os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT"] = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/logs/otel"
os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS"] = "x-portkey-api-key=YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
```

### Step 3: Initialize OpenLIT with Custom Tracer

Set up OpenTelemetry tracer and initialize OpenLIT:

```python theme={"system"}
import openlit
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import SimpleSpanProcessor
from opentelemetry import trace

# Create and configure the tracer provider
trace_provider = TracerProvider()
trace_provider.add_span_processor(SimpleSpanProcessor(OTLPSpanExporter()))

# Set the global default tracer provider
trace.set_tracer_provider(trace_provider)

# Create a tracer from the global tracer provider
tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)

# Initialize OpenLIT with the custom tracer
# disable_batch=True ensures traces are processed immediately
openlit.init(tracer=tracer, disable_batch=True)
```

### Step 4: Configure Portkey Gateway

Set up the OpenAI client to use Portkey's intelligent gateway:

```python theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI
from portkey_ai import createHeaders

# Create OpenAI client with Portkey's gateway
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY",  # Or use a dummy value with virtual keys
    base_url="https://api.portkey.ai/v1",
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        virtual_key="YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY"  # Optional: Use Portkey's secure key management
    )
)
```

### Step 5: Make Instrumented LLM Calls

Now your LLM calls are automatically traced by OpenLIT and enhanced by Portkey:

```python theme={"system"}
# Make calls through Portkey's gateway
# OpenLIT instruments the call, Portkey adds gateway intelligence
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Explain the benefits of OpenTelemetry in AI applications"
        }
    ],
    temperature=0.7
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

# You now get:
# 1. Automatic tracing from OpenLIT
# 2. Gateway features from Portkey (caching, fallbacks, routing)
# 3. Combined insights in Portkey's dashboard
```

## Complete Example

Here's a full example bringing everything together:

```python theme={"system"}
import os

***

## Notes on Common Errors

<Note>
  **AB01 – Request Validation Error (400)**

  This error usually happens when:

  * You're either missing required parameters
  * using incorrect data types (e.g., sending a number instead of a string)
  * passing values that are not within the allowed set (enum violations).
</Note>

<Note>
  **AB05 – Unauthorized Access (401)**

  This indicates that the user is not authorized to access the resource, often due to incorrect API key permissions.

  **Common Cause**: Your API key does **not have the right permissions** for this request.

  **Fix**: Go to [app.portkey.ai](https://app.portkey.ai) → **API Keys**, and check the permissioning for your key. Ensure it includes the required scopes for the endpoint you're calling.

Manage your Portkey organization and workspaces programmatically

# Portkey Admin API

The Portkey Admin API provides programmatic access to manage your organization, workspaces, and resources. Whether you're automating routine administration tasks, integrating Portkey with your existing systems, or customizing your deployment at scale, this API gives you the tools to control every aspect of your Portkey implementation.

## Understanding the Admin API Ecosystem

The Admin API is organized around key capabilities that let you manage different aspects of your Portkey environment. Let's explore what you can build and automate:

### Resource Management

At the foundation of Portkey are the resources that define how your AI implementation works. These can all be managed programmatically:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Configs" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/configs/create-config">
    Create and manage configuration profiles that define routing rules, model settings, and more.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Virtual Keys" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/virtual-keys/create-virtual-key">
    Manage virtual API keys that provide customized access to specific configurations.
  </Card>

  <Card title="API Keys" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key">
    Create and manage API keys for accessing Portkey services.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Analytics and Monitoring

Once your resources are configured, you'll want to measure performance and usage. The Admin API gives you powerful tools to access analytics data:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Summary Data" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/analytics/summary/get-all-cache-data">
    Retrieve aggregated usage statistics and performance metrics.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Grouped Data" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/analytics/groups-paginated-data/get-model-grouped-data">
    Access detailed analytics organized by metadata, model, or user.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Time Series Data" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/analytics/graphs-time-series-data/get-cost-data">
    Monitor performance trends, costs, errors, feedback, and usage patterns over time.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### User and Workspace Administration

Beyond resources and analytics, you'll need to manage who has access to your Portkey environment:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Users & Invites" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/users/retrieve-a-user">
    Manage user accounts, permissions, and access. Send and manage user invitations.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Workspaces & Members" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/workspaces/create-workspace">
    Create workspaces and manage team membership and permissions within workspaces.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Authentication Strategy

Now that you understand what the Admin API can do, let's explore how to authenticate your requests. Portkey uses a sophisticated access control system with two types of API keys, each designed for different use cases:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Admin API Key" icon="key">
    **Organization-wide access**

    These keys grant access to administrative operations across your entire organization.

    <Note>Only Organization Owners and Admins can create and manage Admin API keys.</Note>
  </Card>

  <Card title="Workspace API Key" icon="key">
    **Workspace-specific access**

    These keys provide targeted access to resources within a single workspace.

    <Note>Workspace Managers can create and manage Workspace API keys.</Note>
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

The key you use determines which operations you can perform. For organization-wide administrative tasks, you'll need an Admin API key. For workspace-specific operations, you can use a Workspace API key.

## Access Control and Permissions Model

Portkey's hierarchical access control system governs who can use which APIs. Let's examine how roles, API keys, and permissions interact:

```mermaid theme={"system"}
graph TD
    A[Organization] --> B[Owner]
    A --> C[Org Admin]
    A --> D[Workspaces]
    B --> E[Admin API Key]
    C --> E
    D --> F[Workspace Manager]
    D --> G[Workspace Member]
    F --> H[Workspace API Key]
    E --> I[Organization-wide Operations]
    H --> J[Workspace-specific Operations]
    
    classDef entity fill:#4a5568,stroke:#ffffff,color:#ffffff
    classDef roles fill:#805ad5,stroke:#ffffff,color:#ffffff
    classDef keys fill:#3182ce,stroke:#ffffff,color:#ffffff
    classDef operations fill:#38a169,stroke:#ffffff,color:#ffffff
    
    class A,D entity
    class B,C,F,G roles
    class E,H keys
    class I,J operations
```

This access model follows a clear hierarchy:

| Role               | Can Create Admin API Key | Can Create Workspace API Key | Access Scope               |
| :----------------- | :----------------------- | :--------------------------- | :------------------------- |
| Organization Owner | ✅                        | ✅ (any workspace)            | All organization resources |
| Organization Admin | ✅                        | ✅ (any workspace)            | All organization resources |
| Workspace Manager  | ❌                        | ✅ (managed workspace only)   | Single workspace resources |
| Workspace Member   | ❌                        | ❌                            | Limited workspace access   |

## Creating and Managing API Keys

Now that you understand the permission model, let's look at how to create the API keys you'll need:

### Through the Portkey Dashboard

The simplest way to create an API key is through the Portkey dashboard:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Through the API

You can also create keys programmatically:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh Creating Admin API Key {1,2} theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST https://api.portkey.ai/v1/api-keys/organisation/service
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: YOUR_EXISTING_ADMIN_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "name":"API_KEY_NAME_0809",
      "scopes":[
        "logs.export",
        "logs.list",
        "logs.view"
      ]
    }'
  ```

  ```sh Creating Workspace API Key {1,2} theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST https://api.portkey.ai/v1/api-keys/workspace/user \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: YOUR_EXISTING_WORKSPACE_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "name":"API_KEY_NAME_0909",
      "workspace_id":"WORKSPACE_ID",
      "scopes":[
        "virtual_keys.create",
        "virtual_keys.update",
      ]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Understanding API Key Capabilities

Both key types have different capabilities. This table clarifies which operations each key type can perform:

| Operation                    | Admin API Key      | Workspace API Key    |
| :--------------------------- | :----------------- | :------------------- |
| Manage organization settings | ✅                  | ❌                    |
| Create/manage workspaces     | ✅                  | ❌                    |
| Manage users and permissions | ✅                  | ❌                    |
| Create/manage configs        | ✅ (All workspaces) | ✅ (Single workspace) |
| Create/manage virtual keys   | ✅ (All workspaces) | ✅ (Single workspace) |
| Access Analytics             | ✅ (All workspaces) | ✅ (Single workspace) |
| Create/update feedback       | ❌                  | ✅                    |

## Security and Compliance: Audit Logs

For security-conscious organizations, Portkey provides comprehensive audit logging of all Admin API operations. These logs give you complete visibility into administrative actions:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Every administrative action is recorded with:

* User identity
* Action type and target resource
* Timestamp
* IP address
* Request details

This audit trail helps maintain compliance and provides accountability for all administrative changes.

## Platform

**Dynamic Usage Limits**

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

We're introducing comprehensive usage controls for both Virtual Keys and API Keys, giving platform teams precise control over LLM access and resource consumption. This release introduces:

* **Time-based Access Control**: Create short-lived keys that automatically expire after a specified duration – perfect for temporary access needs like POCs or time-limited projects

* **Resource Consumption Limits**: Set granular limits including:
  * Requests per minute (RPM) / Request per hour / Request per day
  * Tokens per minute (TPM) / Tokens per hour / Tokens per day
  * Budget caps based on cost incurred or tokens consumed, with periodic reset options (weekly/monthly)

**Enhanced Provider Features**

* Perplexity Integration: Full support for Perplexity API's advanced features including search domain filtering, related questions generation, and citation capabilities

<Card title="Browse Docs →" href="/integrations/llms/perplexity-ai#perplexity-specific-features" />

**And, there's more!**

* **Bulk Prompt Management**: Move & Delete multiple prompt templates efficiently
* **Enhanced Logging**: Automatic language detection in logs view

#### Enterprise Spotlight

**When API Gateways Don't Cut It**<br />
As AI infrastructure becomes increasingly critical for enterprises, technology leaders are choosing Portkey's AI Gateway for their AI operations.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

When Premera Blue Cross’ Director of Platform Engineering needed an AI Gateway, they chose Portkey. Why? Because traditional API gateways [weren’t built](https://portkey.ai/blog/ai-gateway-vs-api-gateway) for AI-first companies. Are you in the same boat? Schedule an [expert consultation here](https://calendly.com/portkey-ai/quick-consult).

***

## Platform

#### Prompt Management

* Type [prompt.new](https://prompt.new) in your browser to spin up a new prompt playground! [Try it now →](https://prompt.new)
* Organize your prompt templates with folders and subfolders:

<Frame>
  <iframe />
</Frame>

* Use AI to write and improve your prompts - right inside the playground:

<Frame>
  <iframe />
</Frame>

* Add custom tags/labels like `staging`, `production` to any prompt version to track changes, and call them directly:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

<CodeGroup>
  ```ts @staging {2} theme={"system"}
  const promptCompletion = portkey.prompts.completions.create({
      promptID: "pp-article-xx@staging",
      variables: {"":""}
  })
  ```

  ```ts @dev {2} theme={"system"}
  const promptCompletion = portkey.prompts.completions.create({
      promptID: "pp-article-xx@dev",
      variables: {"":""}
  })
  ```

  ```ts @prod {2} theme={"system"}
  const promptCompletion = portkey.prompts.completions.create({
      promptID: "pp-article-xx@prod",
      variables: {"":""}
  })
  ```
</CodeGroup>

* Each response inside the playground now gives metrics to monitor LLM throughput and latency

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

#### Analytics

**Org-wide Executive Reports**<br />

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Monitor analytics and logs across all workspaces in your organization through a unified dashboard. This centralized view provides comprehensive insights into cost, performance, and accuracy metrics for your deployed AI applications.

* Track token usage patterns across requests & responses

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

* You can now filter logs and analytics with specific Portkey API keys. This is useful if you are tying a particular key to an internal user and want to see their usage!

#### Enterprise

We've strengthened our enterprise authentication capabilities with comprehensive cloud provider integrations.

* Expanded AWS authentication options, for adding your Bedrock models or Sagemaker deployments:
  * IMDS-based auth (recommended for AWS environments)
  * IRSA-based auth for Kubernetes workloads
  * Role-based auth for non-AWS environments
  * STS integration with assumed roles
* Also expanded the Azure Integration:
  * Azure Entra (formerly Active Directory)
  * Managed identity support
* Granular access permissions for API Keys and Virtual Keys across your organization
* Support for sending Azure `deploymentConfig` while making Virtual Keys through API. [Docs](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/virtual-keys/create-virtual-key)

#### More Customer Love

Felipe & team are building [beconfident](https://beconfident.app/), and here's what they had to say about Portkey:

> "Now that we've seen positive results, we're going to move all our prompts to Portkey."

#### Office Hour

One thing we keep hearing from the Portkey community: you want to learn how other teams are solving production challenges and get the most out of the platform. Not through docs or tutorials, but through real conversations with fellow practitioners.

That's why we've started a new series of **AI Engineering Hours** since last week to bring the Portkey community together to discuss exactly this!

<Card title="Link to join the next office hour" href="/changelog/office-hour" />

#### Practitioners' Dinner

We [hosted](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/vrushank-vyas_coming-back-from-the-first-portkey-practitioners-activity-7267647180188860416-a5Fs/?utm_source=share\&utm_medium=member_desktop) some of Singapore's leading Gen AI engineers & leaders for a roundtable conversation - one profound insight emerged: Companies serious about Gen AI have realized it's as much a platform engineering challenge as it is an AI challenge.

Curious what we mean? Read the [meetup note here](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/vrushank-vyas_coming-back-from-the-first-portkey-practitioners-activity-7267647180188860416-a5Fs/?utm_source=share\&utm_medium=member_desktop).

## Platform

**Prompt CRUD APIs**

Prompt CRUD APIs give you the control to scale by enabling you to:

* Programmatically create, update, and delete prompts
* Manage prompts in bulk or version-control them
* Integrate prompt updates into your own tools and workflows
* Automate updates for A/B testing and rapid experimentation

Read more about this [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/prompts/create-prompt).

**Export logs to your internal stack**

Enterprises can now push analytics logs to any OTel-compliant store through Portkey to centralize monitoring, maintain compliance, and ensure efficient operations.
See how it's done [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/components#analytics-store)

**Budget limits and rate limts on workspace**

Configure budget and rate limits at the workspace level to:

* Allocate specific budgets to different departments, teams, or projects
* Prevent individual workspaces from consuming disproportionate resources
* Ensure equitable API access and complete visibility

**n8n integration**

Add enterprise-grade controls to your n8n workflows with:

* **Unified AI Gateway**: Connect to 1600+ models with full API key management—not just OpenAI or Anthropic.
* **Centralized observability**: Track 40+ metrics and request logs in real time.
* **Governance**: Monitor spend, set budgets, and apply RBAC across workflows.
* **Security guardrails**: Enable PII detection, content filtering, and compliance controls.

Read more about the integration[here](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/n8n)

**OpenAI Codex CLI integration**

OpenAI Codex CLI gives developers a streamlined way to analyze, modify, and execute code directly from their terminal. Portkey's integration enhances this experience with:

* Access to 250+ additional models beyond OpenAI Codex CLI's standard offerings
* Content filtering and PII detection with guardrails
* Real-time analytics and logging
* Cost attribution, budget controls, RBAC, and more!

Read more about the integration[here](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/codex#openai-codex-cli)

**Other updates**

* Introduced a new retry setting `use_retry_after_header`. When set to true, if the provider returns the `retry-after` or `retry-after-ms headers`, the Gateway will use these headers to determine retry wait times, rather than applying the default exponential backoff for 429 responses.
* You can now store and retrieve vector embeddings for semantic cache using Milvus in Portkey. Read more about semantic cache store [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/components#semantic-cache-store)
* Plugins have now been moved under Settings (org-level) in the Portkey app.
* Virtual Key exhaustion alert emails now include which workspace the exhausted key belonged to.
* Set up your workspace with Workspace control on the Portkey app.

## Gateway & Providers

**OpenAI embeddings response**
We’ve optimized the Gateway’s handling of OpenAI embeddings requests, leading to around 200ms improvement in response latency.

**Responses API**

You can now use the Responses API to access OpenAI and Azure OpenAI models on Portkey, enabling a flexible and easier way to create agentic experiences.

* Complete observability and usage tracking
* Caching support for streaming requests
* Access to advanced tools — web search, file search, and code execution, with per-tool cost tracking

**Bedrock prompt caching**

You can now implement Amazon Bedrock’s prompt caching through our OpenAI-compliant unified API and prompt templates.

* Cache specific portions of your requests for repeated use
* Reduce inference response latency and input token costs

Read more about the implementation [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/bedrock/prompt-caching)

**Virtual keys for self-hosted models**

You can now create a virtual key for any self-hosted model - whether you're running Ollama, vLLM, or any custom/private model.

* No extra setup required
* Stay in control with logs, traces, and key metrics
* Manage all your LLM interactions through one interface

**Advanced capabilities**

* **Openrouter**: Added mapping for new parameters - modalities, reasoning, transforms, provider, models, response\_format.
* **Vertex AI**: Added support for explicitly mentioning mime\_type for urls sent in the request. Gemini 2.5 thinking parameters are now available.
* **Perplexity**: Added support for response\_format and search\_recency\_filter request parameters.
* **Bedrock**: You can now pass the `anthropic_beta` parameter in Bedrock’s Anthropic API via Portkey to enable Claude's Computer use beta feature.

**Tool calling**

Portkey now supports tool calling for Groq, OpenRouter, and Ollama

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**Technical Improvements**

* **Caching and Logging Unified Thinking Responses**: Unified thinking response (content\_blocks) now logged and cached for stream responses.
* **Strict Metadata Enforcement**: The metalogging preference order now is `Workspace Default > API Key Default > Incoming Request`. This is provide better control to org admins and ensure values set by them are not overridden.
* **Prompt render endpoint**: Previously only available via the control plane, the prompt render endpoint is now supported directly on the Gateway URL.
* Default config in an API key can no longer be overridden.

## Platform

### List models API

<img alt="list-models-api" />

You can now see a list of all models available through Portkey—along with basic details for each one. This makes it easier to discover which models you can use and compare providers and options. Read more about it [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/models/models).

### Unified + Portkey Batching

<img alt="Unified Batching" />

Optimize throughput and reduce costs with our improved batching capabilities. We've implemented unified batching across all supported providers with intelligent request grouping for optimized performance.

This reduces per-request overhead while providing automatic batch size optimization and configurable parameters to suit your specific needs.

See how you can get started [here](http://localhost:3000/product/ai-gateway/batches).

### **OTel-based autoinstrumentation**

<video title="OTel-based Autoinstrumentation Demo" />

Portkey now works as an OTel endpoint. Send telemetry from any OTel-compatible source into Portkey and view it alongside LLM call logs. End-to-end observability for performance, cost, and compliance. Super powerful for agent workflows.

See how you can implement this [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/opentelemetry)

This strengthens our observability even further!

<img alt="twitter-testimonial" />

### **Multiple guardrails at the workspace level**

<img alt="Multiple Guardrails" />

You can now define and enforce multiple guardrail policies at the workspace-level, making it easier to secure usage, filter content, and maintain compliance across your team.

### CRUD Guardrails API

Managing guardrails at scale just got easier. You can now create, update, retrieve, delete, and list guardrails directly via API.

This makes it simple to keep policies consistent across environments, automate changes, and integrate guardrail management into your CI/CD workflows. [Learn more](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/guardrails/create-guardrail).

***

## Platform

**Advanced PII Redaction**

We've significantly enhanced Portkey's Guardrails with request mutation capabilities.

When any sensitive data (like email, phone number, SSN) is detected in user requests, our PII redaction automatically replaces it with standardized identifiers before it reaches the LLM. This works seamlessly across our entire guardrails ecosystem, including AWS Bedrock Guardrails, Patronus AI, Promptfoo, Pangea, and more.

**Unified Files & Batches API**

Managing file uploads and batch processing across multiple LLM providers is now dramatically simpler. Instead of building provider-specific integrations, you can:

* **Upload once, use everywhere** - test your data across different foundation models
* **Run A/B tests seamlessly across providers** - Choose between native provider batching or Portkey's custom batch API

**Integrate Private LLMs**

You can now add your privately hosted LLMs to Portkey's virtual keys. Simply:

* Configure your model's base URL
* Set required authentication headers
* Start routing requests through our unified API

This means you can use your private deployments alongside commercial providers, with the same monitoring, reliability, and management features.

**API Keys with Default Configs & Metadata**

You can now attach default Portkey config & Metadata with any API key you create.

* Automatically monitor how a service/user is consuming Portkey API by enforcing metadata
* Apply Guardrails on requests automatically by adding them to Configs and attaching that to the key
* Set default fallbacks for outgoing request

## Enterprise

Running AI at scale requires robust security, visibility, and control. This month, we've launched a comprehensive set of enterprise features to enable that:

#### Authentication & Access Control

* **JWT Authentication**: Secure API access with JWT tokens, with support for JWKS URL and custom claims validation.
* **Workspace Management**: Manage workspace access and control who can view logs or create API keys from the Admin dashboard

#### Governance & Compliance

* **Metadata Schemas**: Enforce standardized request metadata across teams - crucial for governance and cost allocation
* **Audit Logging**: Track every critical action across both the Portkey app and Admin API, with detailed user attribution
* **Security Settings**: Expanded settings for managing logs visibility and API key creation

## Customer Love

After evaluating 17 different platforms, this AI team replaced 2+ years of homegrown tooling with Portkey Prompts.

<Frame>
  <img />

They were able to do this because of three things:

* They could build reusable prompts with our partial templates
* Our versioning let them confidently roll out changes
* And they didn't have to refactor anything thanks to our OpenAI-compatible APIs

## Internet2 🤝 Portkey

Many universities face similar challenges when adopting GenAI: fragmented provider access, budgetary uncertainty, and regulatory pressure. Portkey helps address these by sitting between institutional systems and model providers by offering a single API with granular usage controls, analytics, and guardrails.

“The Internet2 NET+ Service Evaluation process for Portkey has been a demonstration of collaboration and efficiency,” said **Stratos Efstathiadis, Senior Director of Research Technology Services at NYU**. “The synergy among peer institutions ensures Portkey meets the diverse AI requirements of higher education.”

**📅 Join the NET+ Portkey Launch Webinar**

NYU and Princeton leaders join us this Thursday, AUG 7 AT 1 P.M. ET to go behind the scenes of how GenAI is being deployed on campus. [Register here](https://events.internet2.edu/ereg/index.php?eventid=850237)

## Platform

**Regional data residency**

All your LLM data can now be hosted in any region of your choice with strict isolation, no cross-border data flow, and full compliance with residency regulations.

* Meet institutional and regional privacy mandates

* Improve latency by routing traffic through nearby zones

**Log exports**

You can now export logs directly from the Portkey UI or through the API. Whether you're debugging, auditing, or building internal dashboards, you can export and access complete logs in a structured, reliable format.

**Transformed requests in logs**

<Frame>
  <img alt="transformed logs" />
</Frame>

Debugging just got simpler. You can now view the original request as received by Portkey, the transformed version sent to the model provider, and same for the response in logs, making it easier for debugging.

**Privacy mode (logging off)**

Portkey now gives org owners granular control over what gets logged, from full request/response payloads to just minimal metadata.

# June
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/changelog/2025/june



June was a big one.

We launched **Model Catalog**, one of our most requested features from enterprise users, and something we’ve spent the last few weeks building, testing, and refining. It’s now the central control plane for managing every model your teams use through Portkey.

Along with that, we rolled out several core updates across the platform and gateway including OpenAI Agents TS SDK support, circuit breaker, global endpoints for Vertex AI, expanded Azure coverage, and more.

June also saw increased GitHub momentum as we rolled out one of our largest infrastructure upgrades to date!

<a href="https://portkey.sh/home-git">

## 🎉 Introducing the Model Catalog 🎉

Take control of which models your teams can use across every provider, from one place.
With Model Catalog, you can:

* Manage access to 1,600+ models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, and more
* Decide which models are available to which teams
* Set rate limits and budgets per workspace
* Automatically enable new models as they’re released

<Frame>
  <video>
    <source type="video/mp4" />

    Your browser does not support the video tag.
  </video>
</Frame>

No more scattered configuration or manual provisioning. Just clean, centralized governance for all your AI usage.

To enable it in your organizattion, reach out to us at [support@portkey.ai](mailto:support@portkey.ai)

## Circuit breaker

When a model starts failing or slowing down, Portkey can now temporarily route traffic to fallback targets — then automatically restore routing once things stabilize.
It’s a smarter way to handle failovers without manual intervention.
Available as a config option. [Learn more ->](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/circuit-breaker)

```mermaid theme={"system"}
flowchart TD
    A[User sends request] --> B[Gateway selects a strategy]
    B --> C[Strategy has multiple targets]
    C --> D{All targets OPEN?}
    D -->|Yes| E[Ignore circuit breaker]
    E --> F[Use all targets for routing]
    D -->|No| G["Use only healthy targets"]
    F --> H[Route to best target]
    G --> H
```

## OpenAI Agent SDK (TypeScript)

With the OpenAI Agents SDK (TS), building agents in TypeScript just got easier - no Python, no context switching, just native tooling and agent workflows.

But turning those prototypes into production-ready systems reveals real gaps:

* No logging or tracing
* No retries or failover
* No cost visibility or access control
* No simple way to switch LLM providers

That’s where Portkey comes in. Route your calls through Portkey and unlock observability, guardrails, prompt versioning, and multi-provider support instantly. [Learn more ->](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/agents/openai-agents-ts)

## Strands Agents SDK

Enterprises building on Strands Agents SDK now have a cleaner path to production — thanks to Portkey as the LLM gateway.
With a single abstraction layer, you can:

* Access 2,000+ LLMs with provider-agnostic logic
* Standardize tool calling across providers
* Add conditional routing for cost control
* Enable retries, rate limits, and full observability

Huge thanks to Federico Kamelhar for leading the integration effort and bringing Portkey support to Strands.
If you love Strands & Portkey **[contribute to this PR](https://portkey.sh/L1tDBwa)** and help us stabilize this integration.

  <img alt="Strands Agents SDK" />
</a>

## Gateway & Providers

**AWS Bedrock inference profiles**

You can now route Bedrock requests by inference profile, allowing access to multiple regions or compute configurations through a single virtual key. [Learn more -> ](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/bedrock#inference-profiles).

**Vertex AI global endpoint support**

Portkey helps you improve model availability and reduce 429 (rate limit) errors with support for Vertex AI’s global endpoints.
You can now set `region = global` in your Vertex AI Virtual Key config to automatically access Google’s distributed infrastructure — no manual region selection needed.

**OpenAI Background Mode**

Reasoning models can take minutes to solve complex problems.
With background mode, you can now run long-running tasks on models like `o3-pro` and `o1-pro` reliably, without worrying about timeouts or dropped connections.

Portkey now supports background mode for OpenAI requests.
Simply pass `background:True` as a parameter, and Portkey will handle the rest.

**Anthropic's Computer Use**

Experiment confidently with Anthropic’s new Computer Use tool by adding observability, fallback logic, and cost controls from day one. [Learn more ->](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/anthropic-computer-use)

**Support for additional Azure OpenAI endpoints**

Portkey now supports a wider range of Azure OpenAI endpoints including image generation, audio transcription, speech synthesis, file management, and batch operations.

**Anthropic prompt caching (tools)**

Anthropic tool-based interactions now benefit from prompt caching in Portkey, improving performance and reducing token use for repeated tool calls.

**To keeping up the pace!**

**May-king it production ready✨**

In May, we shipped the kind of upgrades that help you move your AI Agents fast into productiion and stay in control — whether you're scaling, securing AI behavior, or bringing new models to your apps.

We launched deep integrations with agent frameworks like PydanticAI and OpenAI Agents SDK, added enterprise-grade controls to Claude Code, made it simpler to call a remote MCP server simpler and much more!

Here’s everything new this month:

# November
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/changelog/2025/november



November was a month of momentum across customers, models, governance, and community.

Teams like Snorkel AI continue to push the boundaries of evaluation and training pipelines, running multi-agent systems that compare and verify outputs across models like Anthropic and Gemini. We’ve been learning a lot from how organizations like these operate at scale.

On the platform side, we expanded our provider landscape, shipped multiple model releases on Day 0, and worked on enhancing our guardrails and observability.

We’re closing the year with conversations and gatherings across the community! If you’re attending <b>AWS re:Invent</b> and want to meet the core team behind Portkey, grab a 1:1 slot [here](https://calendly.com/d/csjy-mr6-vfg/aws-re-invent).

## Summary

## How Snorkel AI runs multi-agents evals for frontier models

Snorkel AI has been doing some fascinating work around evaluating frontier models from Anthropic, Google, and others. Their team built a multi-agent evaluation system that plans, reasons, and verifies model outputs.

As the scale and complexity of these eval workloads increased, they needed a way to move beyond fragmented scripts and logs toward a single, reliable source of truth for debugging.

Read their [full breakdown](https://portkey.ai/blog/how-snorkel-evaluates-and-trains-top-ai-models) that includes architecture, evaluation flows, learnings, and infrastructure decisions.

<img alt="industry-leader-testimonial" />

## Platform

### Budget policies

You can now define usage budgets and throughput controls at an organization or team level, without configuring them individually using budget policies.
You can create usage limits and rate limit policies with conditions based on:

* API keys
* Metadata fields
* Workspaces
* Combined multi-condition rules

This makes governance far more scalable. See how you can set up usage limits and rate-limit policies [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/budget-policies).

### URL support in Conditional Router

You can match requests based on the request's URL path, increases the for routing and giving you granular control over model selection. Read more about this [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/conditional-routing#url-path-routing).

<img alt="url-path-conditional-router" />

## From the who's who in the industry!

<img alt="industry-leader-testimonial" />

## Observability

### Improved trace visibility

You can now see traces by category, making it easier to understand whether traffic originated from chat, batch, routing, agent calls, or system functions.

<img alt="trace-category" />

### Detailed guardrail checks in logs

See guardrail-flagged events more prominently in logs, simplifying debugging of blocked, redacted, or policy-violating requests.

<img alt="guardrails-checks-in-logs" />

### OTel Log Export \[Experimental]

You can now export Gateway logs to an OpenTelemetry-compatible endpoint, aligned to experimental GenAI semantic conventions, allowing external systems to ingest AI activity traces. Read more about this [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/opentelemetry#experimental-features).

## Guardrails

### F5 Guardrail

You can now configure **F5 Guardrails**, expanding Portkey’s guardrails ecosystem for runtime moderation, safety filtering, and structured response control.

This enables additional security layers for production workloads and is especially useful when running automated agent pipelines or public-facing interfaces. See how you can implement F5 Guardrails [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/guardrails/f5-guardrails).

### Qualifire Guardrails

Qualifire offers a comprehensive suite of **AI safety and quality guardrails** designed to keep applications compliant, safe, and high-integrity in production.

Their platform provides **20+ guardrail checks** spanning content risk, output validation, and policy compliance. See how you can implement Qualifire Guardrails [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/guardrails/qualifire).

### Guardrails in streaming responses

Streaming endpoints (`/chat/completions`, `/completions`, `/embeddings`, `/messages`) can now return guardrail evaluation results in real time.

This helps you to:

* Stop streaming mid-response
* Mask or redact content dynamically
* Enforce content policy on UI without waiting for the full generation

## Portkey recognized as a 2025 Gartner® Cool Vendor™ in LLM Observability

<img alt="2025 Gartner® Cool Vendor™" />

Portkey has been recognized as one of the [2025 Gartner® Cool Vendors™ in LLM Observability](https://www.gartner.com/en/documents/7024598), in the report by Padraig Byrne, Tanmay Bisht, and Andre Bridges. This recognition reinforces our mission to help teams move from experimentation to production with confidence and observability built in.

If you like what we are building, please drop us a review <a href="https://www.gartner.com/reviews/observability-platforms/form?vid=91488&pid=172430">here</a>, it'd mean a lot to us!

## What industry leaders are telling about us!

<img alt="anthropic" />

## Platform

### Terraform Provider for Portkey

Portkey now has a Terraform provider for managing workspaces, users, and organization resources through the Portkey Admin API. This enables you to manage:

* Workspaces: Create and update workspaces for teams and projects
* Members: Assign users to workspaces with defined roles
* Access: Send user invites with organization and workspace access
* Users: Query and manage existing users in your organization

### Enhanced rate limits

You can now configure rate limits for both requests and tokens under each API key, giving teams precise control over workload, costs, and performance across large deployments.

<img alt="Enhanced rate limits" />

* Request-based limits: Cap the number of requests per minute, hour, or day.
* Token-based limits: Cap the number of tokens consumed per minute, hour, or day.

### Configurable request timeouts

A new `REQUEST_TIMEOUT` environment variable lets you control how long the Gateway waits before timing out outbound LLM requests — helping fine-tune latency, retries, and reliability for large-scale workloads.

## Customer love!

<img alt="Enhanced rate limits" />

## Guardrails

### Javelin AI Security integration

You can now configure Javelin AI Security guardrails directly in the Portkey Gateway to evaluate every model interaction for:

* Trust & Safety — detect and filter harmful or unsafe content
* Prompt Injection Detection — identify attempts to manipulate model behavior
* Language Detection — verify and filter language in user or model responses

These guardrails extend Portkey’s security layer, making it easier to enforce safe and compliant model use at scale. See how to set up Javelin guardrails [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/guardrails/javelin).

### Add Prefix guardrail

<img alt="Add Prefix guardrail" />

The new Add Prefix guardrail lets you automatically prepend a configurable prefix to user inputs before sending them to the model, useful for enforcing consistent tone, context, or compliance instructions across all model interactions.

### Allowed Request Types guardrail

<img alt="Allowed Request Types guardrail" />

With the Allowed Request Types guardrail, you can now define which request types (endpoints) are permitted through the Gateway. Use an allowlist or blocklist approach to control access at a granular level and restrict unwanted request types.

## Gateway

### New models and providers

<div>
  <div>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <b>Claude Haiku 4.5</b>: Anthropic’s lightweight model for real-time use cases.

      </li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>

## Agents

### OpenAI AgentKit with multi-provider support

Building agents is now easier with OpenAI’s AgentKit, Portkey takes it further. You can now connect your AgentKit agents to 1,600+ LLMs across providers through Portkey, while gaining end-to-end observability, guardrails, and cost tracking.

See the integration guide [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/openai-agent-builder)

## Observability

### Structured tool call visibility

<img alt="Structured tool call visibility" />

Tool calls made during model interactions are now automatically detected and displayed as **separate, structured entries** in the Portkey logs.\
This makes it easier to trace the tools invoked, inspect parameters, and understand agent behavior across multi-step workflows.

### Enhanced view for web search

<img alt="Enhanced view for web search" />

Web search results from Anthropic models now appear in a **clearer, formatted view** within the dashboard.\
This update improves readability and makes it easy to see what information the model used to generate its response, enabling faster analysis and better transparency.

## Customer Stories: From arm pain to AI gateway

After an unexpected setback forced Rahul Bansal to rethink how he worked, he built Dictation Daddy, an AI-powered dictation platform now used by professionals, doctors, and lawyers to write faster and with greater accuracy, powered by Portkey.

Read the full story [here](https://portkey.ai/blog/from-arm-pain-to-ai-gateway/)

## Community & Events

## Platform

### MCP Gateway (beta)

Enterprises can now bring MCP servers and tools into production with governance, observability, and access controls built-in. The Gateway helps teams avoid authentication sprawl, shadow tool usage, and fragmented monitoring—giving enterprises a central way to manage how agents interact with external tools.

<Frame>
  <iframe title="Portkey MCP Gateway Overview" />
</Frame>

Key benefits include:

* Centralized MCP tool access
* Unified authentication and credentials handling
* Complete visibility into agent-tool interactions
* Access controls and usage limits by team

👉 To try out the beta, [send us an email](mailto:support@portkey.ai) or [book a demo](https://portkey.sh/sept-email).

### Unified token counting endpoint

Token counting is now unified across AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Anthropic.

With a single endpoint, you can:

* Estimate token usage before sending a request (avoid context limit errors)
* Standardize cost/usage logic across providers
* Enforce routing and quota rules directly inside your app

[Read more here](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/anthropic/count-tokens)

<img alt="Unified Token Counting Endpoint" />

This goes beyond dashboard reporting so developers can make smarter runtime decisions with accurate, provider-agnostic token counts.

## Guardrails

### Metadata-based Model Access guardrail

<img alt="Metadata-based Model Access Guardrail" />

We introduced a new guardrail that lets you restrict model access based on metadata key-value pairs at runtime.
By evaluating metadata dynamically on every request, this guardrail provides granular, per-request governance—without requiring changes to your app logic.

### Regex-replace guardrail

<img alt="Regex Replace Guardrail" />

Our PII guardrail already covers common fields like emails, phone numbers, and credit cards. But many customers asked for a way to redact custom org-specific patterns.

With the Regex Replace Guardrail, you can now:

* Define your own regex patterns
* Replace matches with a chosen string (e.g., \[masked\_user])
* Enforce masking rules at runtime, before data reaches the model

This is particularly useful for internal IDs, employee codes, or project references that shouldn't leave your environment. [Read more here](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/guardrails/regex).

## Gateway and Providers

### Unified `finish_reason` parameter

We standardized the `finish_reason` field across all providers. By default, values are mapped to OpenAI-compatible outputs, ensuring consistent handling across multi-provider deployments.

If you prefer to keep the original provider-returned value, set `x-portkey-strict-openai-compliance = false`.

### Conditional router enhancement

Conditional routing now supports **parameter-based** routing in addition to metadata. Parameter-based routing enables dynamic, per-request optimizations, giving you better performance, cost efficiency, and control over user experience. [Read more about this here](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/conditional-routing#structure-of-conditions-object)

# 101 on Portkey's Gateway Configs
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/101-on-portkey-s-gateway-configs

You are likely familiar with how to make an API call to GPT4 for chat completions. 

However, did you know you can **set up** automatic retries for requests that might fail on OpenAI’s end using Portkey?

The Portkey AI gateway provides several useful features that you can use to enhance your requests. In this cookbook, we will start by making an API call to LLM and explore how Gateway Configs can be utilized to optimize these API calls.

## 1. API calls to LLMs with Portkey

Consider a typical API call to GPT4 to get chat completions using OpenAI SDK. It takes `messages` and `model` arguments to get us a response. If you have tried one before, the following code snippet should look familiar. That’s because Portkey Client SDK follows the same signature as OpenAI’s.

```js theme={"system"}
import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: 'xxxxxxxtrk',
  virtualKey: 'ma5xfxxxxx4x'
});

const messages = [
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: `What are the 7 wonders of the world?`
  }
];

const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'gpt-4'
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

Along with Portkey API Key ([get one](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/authentication#obtaining-your-api-key)), you might’ve noticed a new parameter while instantiating the `portkey` variable — `virtualKey`. Portkey securely stores API keys of LLM providers in a vault and substitutes them at runtime in your requests. These unique identifiers to your API keys are called Virtual Keys. For more information, see the [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys#creating-virtual-keys).

With basics out of our way, let’s jump into applying what we set out to do in the first place with the AI gateway — To automatically retry our request when we hit rate-limits (429 status codes).

## 2. Apply Gateway Configs

The AI gateway requires instructions to automatically retry requests. This involves providing Gateway Configs, which are essentially JSON objects that orchestrate the AI gateway. In our current scenario, we are targeting GPT4 with requests that have automatic retries on 429 status codes.

```js theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3,
    "on_status_codes": [429]
  }
}
```

We now have our Gateway Configs sorted. But how do we instruct our AI gateway?

You guessed it, on the request headers. The next section will explore two ways to create and reference Gateway Configs.

### a. Reference Gateway Configs from the UI

Just as the title says — you create them on the UI and use an ID to have Portkey automatically apply in the request headers to instruct the AI gateway. UI builder features lint suggestions, makes it easy to reference (through config ID), eliminates manual management, and allows you to view version history.

To create Gateway Configs,

1. Go to **portkey.ai** and
2. Click on **Configs**
   1. Select **Create**
   2. Choose any name (such as request\_retries)

Write the configs in the playground and click **Save Config**:

See the saved configs in the list along with the `ID`:

Try it out now!

The Configs saved will appear as a row item on the Configs page. The `ID` is important as it is referenced in our calls through the AI gateway.

#### Portkey SDK

The Portkey SDK accepts the config parameter that takes the created config ID as it’s argument. To ensure all requests have automatic retries enabled on them, pass the config ID as argument when `portkey` is instantiated.

That’s right! One line of code, and all the request from your apps now inherit Gateway Configs and demonstrate automatic retries.

Let’s take a look at the code snippet:

```js theme={"system"}
import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: 'xxxxxxrk',
  virtualKey: 'xxxxx',
  config: 'pc-xxxxx-edx21x' // Gateway Configs
});

const messages = [
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: `What are the 7 wonders of the world?`
  }
];

const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'gpt-4'
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

#### Axios

In the cases, where you are not able to use an SDK, you can pass the same configs as headers with the key `x-portkey-config` .

```js theme={"system"}
const CONFIG_ID = 'pc-reques-edf21c';
const PORTKEY_API_KEY = 'xxxxxrk';
const OPENAI_API_KEY = 'sk-*******';

const response = await axios({
  method: 'post',
  url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    Authorization: `Bearer ${OPENAI_API_KEY}`,
    'x-portkey-api-key': PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    'x-portkey-provider': 'openai',
    'x-portkey-config': CONFIG_ID
  },
  data: data
});

console.log(response.data);
```

#### OpenAI SDK

Portkey can be used with OpenAI SDK.

To send a request with using OpenAI SDK client and apply gateway configs to the request pass a `baseURL` and necessary headers as follows:

```js theme={"system"}
import OpenAI from 'openai'; // We're using the v4 SDK
import { PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders } from 'portkey-ai';

const PORTKEY_API_KEY = 'xxxxxrk';
const CONFIG_ID = 'pc-reques-edf21c';

const messages = [
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: `What are the 7 wonders of the world?`
  }
];

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'OPENAI_API_KEY', // When you pass the parameter `virtualKey`, this value is ignored.
  baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
  defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
    provider: 'openai',
    apiKey: PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    virtualKey: 'open-ai-key-04ba3e', // OpenAI virtual key
    config: CONFIG_ID
  })
});

const chatCompletion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'gpt-4'
});

console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
```

The approach to declare the Gateway Configs in the UI and reference them in the code is recommended since it keeps the Configs atomic and decoupled from the business logic and can be upgraded to add more features. What if you want to enable caching for all your thousands of requests? Just update the Configs from the UI. No commits. No redeploys.

### b. Reference Gateway Configs in the Code

Depending on the dynamics of your app, you might want to construct the Gateway Configs at the runtime. All you need to do is to pass the Gateway Configs directly to the `config` parameter as an argument.

#### Portkey SDK

```js theme={"system"}
import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: 'xxxxxxx',
  virtualKey: 'maxxxxx8f4d',
  config: JSON.stringify({
    retry: {
      attempts: 3,
      on_status_codes: [429]
    }
  })
});

const messages = [
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: `What are the 7 wonders of the world?`
  }
];

const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'gpt-4'
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

#### Axios

```js theme={"system"}
import axios from 'axios';

const CONFIG_ID = {
  retry: {
    attempts: 3,
    on_status_codes: [429]
  }
};

const PORTKEY_API_KEY = 'xxxxxxxx';
const OPENAI_API_KEY = 'sk-xxxxxxxxx';

const data = {
  model: 'gpt-4',
  messages: [
    {
      role: 'user',
      content: 'What are 7 wonders of the world?'
    }
  ]
};

const { data: response } = await axios({
  method: 'post',
  url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    Authorization: `Bearer ${OPENAI_API_KEY}`,
    'x-portkey-api-key': PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    'x-portkey-provider': 'openai',
    'x-portkey-config': JSON.stringify(CONFIG_ID)
  },
  data: data
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

#### OpenAI SDK

```js theme={"system"}
import OpenAI from 'openai'; // We're using the v4 SDK
import { PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders } from 'portkey-ai';

const PORTKEY_API_KEY = 'xxxxxrk';
const CONFIG_ID = 'pc-reques-edf21c';

const messages = [
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: `What are the 7 wonders of the world?`
  }
];

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'OPENAI_API_KEY', // When you pass the parameter `virtualKey`, this value is ignored.
  baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
  defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
    provider: 'openai',
    apiKey: PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    virtualKey: 'open-ai-key-04ba3e', // OpenAI virtual key
    config: {
      retry: {
        attempts: 3,
        on_status_codes: [429]
      }
    }
  })
});

const chatCompletion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'gpt-4'
});

console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
```

Those are three ways to use Gateway Configs in your requests.

In the cases where you want to specifically add a config for a specific request instead of all, Portkey allows you to pass `config` argument as seperate objects right at the time of chat completions call instead of `Portkey({..})` instantiation.

```js theme={"system"}
const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
  {
    messages,
    model: 'gpt-4'
  },
  {
    config: 'config_id' // or expanded Config Object
  }
);
```

Applying retry super power to your requests is that easy!

## Next Steps: Dive into features of AI gateway

Great job on implementing the retry behavior for your LLM calls to OpenAI!

Gateway Configs is a tool that can help you manage fallbacks, request timeouts, load balancing, caching, and more. With Portkey's support for over 100+ LLMs, it is a powerful tool for managing complex use cases that involve multiple target configurations. A Gateway Config that encompasses such complexity may look like:

```sh theme={"system"}
TARGET 1 (root):
  OpenAI GPT4
  Simple Cache
  On 429:
    TARGET 2 (loadbalance):
      Anthropic Claude3
      Semantic Cache
      On 5XX
    TARGET 3 (loadbalance):
      Anyscale Mixtral 7B
      On 4XX, 5XX
        TARGET 4 (fallback):
          Llama Models
          Automatic Retries
          Request Timeouts
```

For complete reference, refer to the [*Config Object*](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/config-object).

It's exciting to see all the AI gateway features available for your requests. Feel free to experiment and make the most of them. Keep up the great work!


# A/B Test Prompts and Models
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/a-b-test-prompts-and-models

A/B testing with large language models in production is crucial for driving optimal performance and user satisfaction.

It helps you find and settle on the best model for your application (and use-case).

**This cookbook will guide us through setting up an effective A/B test where we measure the performance of 2 different prompts written for 2 different models in production.**

<Check>
  If you prefer to follow along a **python notebook**, you can find that [here](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1ZCmLHh9etOGYhhCw-lUVpEu9Nw43lnD1?usp=sharing).
</Check>

## The Test

We want to test the **blog outline generation** capabilities of OpenAI's `gpt-3.5-turbo` model and Google's `gemini-pro` models which have similar pricing and benchmarks. We will rely on user feedback metrics to pick a winner.

Setting it up will need us to

1. Create prompts for the 2 models
2. Write the config for a 50-50 test
3. Make requests using this config
4. Send feedback for responses
5. Find the winner

Let's get started.

## 1. Create prompts for the 2 models

Portkey makes it easy to create prompts through the playground.

We'll start by clicking **Create** on the **Prompts** **tab** and create the first prompt for OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo.

<Info>
  You'll notice that I'd already added providers for OpenAI and Google in my account. Add them by going to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) and clicking **Add Provider** - this ensures that your original API keys remain secure.
</Info>

Let's start with a simple prompt. We can always improve it iteratively. You'll notice that we've added variables to it for `title` and `num_sections` which we'll populate through the API later on.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Gemini Model Setup" />
</Frame>

Great, this is setup and ready now.

The gemini model doesn't need a `system` prompt, so we can ignore it and create a prompt like this.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Gemini Model Prompt Creation" />
</Frame>

## 2. Write the config for a 50-50 test

To run the experiment, lets create a [config](/product/ai-gateway/configs) in Portkey that can automatically route requests between these 2 prompts.

We pulled the `id` for both these prompts from our Prompts list page and will use them in our config. This is what it finally looks like.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance"
  },
  "targets": [{
    "prompt_id": "0db0d89c-c1f6-44bc-a976-f92e24b39a19",
    "weight": 0.5
  },{
    "prompt_id": "pp-blog-outli-840877",
    "weight": 0.5
  }]
}
```

We've created a load balanced config that will route 50% of the traffic to each of the 2 prompt IDs mentioned in it. We can save this config and fetch its ID.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Create the config and fetch the ID" />
</Frame>

Create the config and fetch the ID

## 3. Make requests using this config

Lets use this config to start making requests from our application. We will use the [prompt completions API](/portkey-endpoints/prompts/prompt-completion) to make the requests and add the config in our headers.

    }'
    ```

</Tabs>

As we make these requests, they'll show up in the Logs tab. We can see that requests are being routed equally between the 2 prompts.

Let's setup feedback for these APIs so we can begin our tests!

## 4. Send feedback for responses

Collecting and analysing feedback allows us to find the real performance of each of these 2 prompts (an in turn `gemini-pro` and `gpt-3.5-turbo`)

The Portkey SDK allows a `feedback` method to collect feedback based on trace IDs. The pcompletion object in the previous request allows us to fetch the trace ID that portkey created for it.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    // Get the trace ID of the request we just made

    const reqTrace = pcompletion.getHeaders()["trace-id"]

    await portkey.feedback.create({
        traceID: reqTrace,
        value: 1  // For thumbs up or 0 for thumbs down
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    req_trace = pcompletion.get_headers()['trace-id']

    client.feedback.create(
        trace_id=req_trace,
        value=0  # For thumbs down or 1 for thumbs up
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="cURL">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/feedback" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -d '{
        "trace_id": "",
        "value": 0
    }'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## 5. Find the winner

We can now compare the feedback for the 2 prompts from our feedback dashboard

<Frame>
  <img alt="" />
</Frame>

We find that the `gpt-3.5-turbo` prompt is at 4.71 average feedback after 20 attempts, while `gemini-pro` is at 4.11. While we definitely need more data and examples, let's assume for now that we wanted to start directing more traffic to it.

We can edit the `weight` in the config to direct more traffic to `gpt-3.5-turbo`. The new config would look like this:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance"
  },
  "targets": [{
    "prompt_id": "0db0d89c-c1f6-44bc-a976-f92e24b39a19",
    "weight": 0.8
  },{
    "prompt_id": "pp-blog-outli-840877",
    "weight": 0.2
  }]
}
```

This directs 80% of the traffic to OpenAI.

And we're done! We were able to set up an effective A/B test between prompts and models without fretting.

## Next Steps

As next explorations, we could create versions of the prompts and test between them. We could also test 2 prompts on `gpt-3.5-turbo` to judge which one would perform better.

Try creating a prompt to create tweets and see which model or prompts perform better.

Portkey allows a lot of flexibility while experimenting with prompts.

## Bonus: Add a fallback

We've noticed that we hit the OpenAI rate limits at times. In that case, we can fallback to the gemini prompt so the user doesn't experience the failure.

Adjust the config like this, and your fallback is setup!

```json theme={"system"}
{

  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance"
  },
  "targets": [{
    "strategy": {"mode": "fallback"},
    "targets": [
      {
        "prompt_id": "0db0d89c-c1f6-44bc-a976-f92e24b39a19",
        "weight": 0.8
      }, {
        "prompt_id": "pp-blog-outli-840877"
      }]

  },{
    "prompt_id": "pp-blog-outli-840877",
    "weight": 0.2
  }]

}
```

# Function Calling
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/function-calling

Get the LLM to interact with external APIs!

As described in the [Enforcing JSON Schema cookbook](/guides/use-cases/enforcing-json-schema-with-anyscale-and-together), LLMs are now good at generating outputs that follow a specified syntax. We can combine this LLM ability with their reasoning ability to let LLMs interact with external APIs. **This is called Function (or Tool) calling.** In simple terms, function calling:

1. Informs the user when a question can be answered using an external API
2. Generates a valid request in the API's format
3. Converts the API's response to a natural language answer

Function calling is currently supported on select models on **Anyscale**, **Together AI**, **Fireworks AI**, **Google Gemini**, and **OpenAI**. Using Portkey, you can easily experiment with function calling across various providers and gain confidence to ship it to production.

**Let's understand how it works with an example**:

We want the LLM to tell what's the temperature in Delhi today. We'll use a "Weather API" to fetch the weather:

```js theme={"system"}
import Portkey from "portkey-ai";

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
  virtualKey: "ANYSCALE_VIRTUAL_KEY",
});

// Describing what the Weather API does and expects
let tools = [
    {
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "getWeather",
            "description": "Get the current weather in a given location",
            "parameters": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    "location": {
                        "type": "string",
                        "description": "The city and state",
                    },
                    "unit": {"type": "string", "enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"]},
                },
                "required": ["location"],
            },
        },
    }
];

let response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    model: "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1",
    messages: [
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in Delhi - respond in JSON"}
    ],
    tools,
    tool_choice: "auto", // auto is default, yet explicit
});

console.log(response.choices[0].finish_reason)
```

Here, we've defined what the Weather API expects for its requests in the `tool` param, and set `tool_choice` to auto. So, based on the user messages, the LLM will decide if it should do a function call to fulfill the request. Here, it will choose to do that, and we'll see the following output:

```json theme={"system"}
{
    "role": "assistant",
    "content": null,
    "tool_calls": [{
        "id": "call_x8we3xx",
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "getWeather",
            "arguments": "{\"location\": \"Delhi, India\", \"format\": \"celsius\"}"
        }
    }]
}
```

We can just take the `tool_call` made by the LLM, and pass it to our `getWeather` function - it should return a proper response to our query. We then take that response and send it to our LLM to complete the loop:

```js theme={"system"}
// getWeather(..) is a utility to call external weather service APIs
// Responds with: {"temperature": 20, "unit": "celsius"}

let weatherData = await getWeather(JSON.parse(arguments));
let content = JSON.stringify(weatherData);

// Push assistant and tool message from earlier generated function arguments
messages.push(assistantMessage);
messages.push({
    role: "tool",
    content: content,
    toolCallId: "call_x8we3xx",
    name: "getWeather"
});

let response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    model: "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1",
    tools: tools,
    messages: messages,
    tool_choice: "auto"
});
```

We should see this final output:

```json theme={"system"}
{
    "role": "assistant",
    "content": "It's 30 degrees celsius in Delhi, India."
}
```

## Function Calling Workflow

Recapping, there are 4 key steps to doing function calling, as illustrated below:

## Supporting Models

Portkey's AI Gateway provides native function calling (also known as tool calling) support across our entire ecosystem of AI providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Together AI, Fireworks AI, and many more. If you discover a function-calling capable LLM that isn't working with Portkey, please let us know [on Discord](https://portkey.wiki/community).

<Note>
  Portkey also supports parallel tool calling when available from the provider. This feature allows you to submit multiple requests in a single query. The model automatically selects the appropriate tool for each request and returns an array of `tool_calls`, each with a unique identifier. For more details, see the [parallel function calling documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling/parallel-function-calling).

[Portkey](https://app.portkey.ai/) is the Control Panel for AI apps. With it's popular AI Gateway and Observability Suite, hundreds of teams ship reliable, cost-efficient, and fast apps.

## Quickstart

Since Portkey is fully compatible with the OpenAI signature, you can connect to the Portkey AI Gateway through OpenAI Client.

* Set the `base_url` as `PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL`
* Add `default_headers` to consume the headers needed by Portkey using the `createHeaders` helper method.

A fractal is a complex geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is a reduced-scale  of the whole. Fractals are typically self-similar and independent of scale, meaning they look similar at any zoom level. They often appear in nature, in things like snowflakes, coastlines, and fern leaves. The term "fractal" was coined by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975.

### Portkey Supports other Providers

Portkey supports **30+ providers** and all the models within those providers. To use these different providers and models with OpenAI's SDK, you just need to change the `provider` and` model names` in your code with their respective auth keys. It's that easy!

# Image Generation
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/image-generation



[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/github/Portkey-AI/portkey-cookbook/blob/main/examples/image-generation.ipynb)

## Image Generation using the Portkey AI Gateway

[Portkey's AI gateway](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/gateway) supports making calls to multiple Image models to generate images through a unified API. This notebook showcases the following functionality:

1. Generating an image through OpenAI
2. Use the same request to generate an image using Stability AI
3. Setup a load balance between OpenAI and Stability, with a fallback to OpenAI's dall-e-2
4. Cache image requests for super fast loading

This notebook uses the OpenAI SDK to showcase the functionality. We're using the hosted AI gateway on portkey.ai, but you could swap it for an internally hosted gateway as well.

```json theme={"system"}
# Constants for use later - Please enter your own
PORTKEY_API_KEY="" # Get this from your Portkey Account
OPENAI_API_KEY = "" # Your OpenAI key here
STABILITY_API_KEY = "" # Add your stability ai API key
```

#### 1. Generate an image using OpenAI

Let's try to make an image generation request to OpenAI through Portkey.

```json theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders
from IPython.display import display, Image
client = OpenAI(
    api_key=OPENAI_API_KEY,
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        provider="openai",
        api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY

    )

)

image = client.images.generate(
  model="dall-e-3",
  prompt="Lucy in the sky with diamonds",
  n=1,
  size="1024x1024"
)

# Display the image

display(Image(url=image.data[0].url))
```

This request went through Portkey's fast AI gateway which also then captures the information about the request on your Portkey Dashboard.

#### 2. Generate an image using Stability AI

Let's try to make an image generation request to Stability through Portkey. Notice that we're going to use the OpenAI SDK itself to make calls to Stability AI as well

```json theme={"system"}
from IPython.display import display, Image

import base64

client = OpenAI(

    api_key=STABILITY_API_KEY,

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        provider="stability-ai",

        api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY

    )

)

# Portkey will automatically convert this request to the format Stability expects

image = client.images.generate(

  model="stable-diffusion-v1-6",

  prompt="Lucy in the sky with diamonds",

  n=1,

  size="256x256"

)

# Since stability returns a base64 image string, we can display it like this

image_bytes = base64.b64decode(image.data[0].b64_json)

display(Image(data=image_bytes))
```

#### 3. Use a config with load balancing & fallbacks

The AI gateway allows us to create routing configurations for better reliability across our requests. Lets take an example where we might want to loadbalance our requests equally between OpenAI's `dall-e-3` and Stability's `stable-diffusion-v1-6` with a overall fallback to `dall-e-2`

This requires us to create a config with a structure like this

```json theme={"system"}
fallback

    target1:

        loadbalance

            target1: dall-e-3

            target2: stable-diffusion-v1-6

    target2:dall-e-2
```

Let's define this using Portkey's configuration to achieve the same result. You can find more about configs [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/config-object).

```json theme={"system"}
# It is recommended to create this in the Portkey Config creator, but we're writing the config here to show the process

config = {

    "strategy": {

        "mode": "fallback"

    },

    "targets": [{

        "strategy": {

            "mode": "loadbalance"

        },

        "targets": [{

            "provider": "openai",

            "api_key": OPENAI_API_KEY,

        },{

            "provider": "stability-ai",

            "api_key": STABILITY_API_KEY,

            "override_params": {"model": "stable-diffusion-v1-6"}

        }]

    },{

        "provider": "openai",

        "api_key": "OPENAI_API_KEY",

        "override_params": {"model": "dall-e-2"}

    }]

}

client = OpenAI(

    api_key="X", # Not necessary since we''ll pick it up from the config

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        config=config,

        api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY

    )

)

image = client.images.generate(

  model="dall-e-3",

  prompt="Lucy in the sky with diamonds",

  response_format='b64_json',

  size="1024x1024"

)

# Display the image

image_bytes = base64.b64decode(image.data[0].b64_json)

display(Image(data=image_bytes))
```

The above image generated will follow your fallback and load balancing configurations making your app very resilient.

#### 4. Cache Image Requests

The AI gateway also supports caching requests making them extremely fast. We could add cache to the above config and try the requests again.

```json theme={"system"}
# Add simple caching to the config defined above

config["cache"] = {"mode": "simple"}

client = OpenAI(

    api_key="X", # Not necessary since we''ll pick it up from the config

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        config=config,

        api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY

    )

)

image = client.images.generate(

  model="dall-e-3",

  prompt="Lucy in the sky with diamonds",

  response_format='b64_json',

  size="1024x1024"

)

# Display the image

image_bytes = base64.b64decode(image.data[0].b64_json)

display(Image(data=image_bytes))
```

    )
)

chat_complete = client.chat.completions.create(

    model="llama3-70b-8192",
    messages=[{"role": "user",
               "content": "What's the purpose of Generative AI?"}],
)

print(chat_complete.choices[0].message.content)
```

```
The primary purpose of generative AI is to create new, original, and often realistic data or content, such as images, videos, music, text, or speeches, that are similar to those created by humans. Generative AI models are designed to generate new data samples that are indistinguishable from real-world data, allowing for a wide range of applications and possibilities. Some of the main purposes of generative AI include:

1. **Data augmentation**: Generating new data to augment existing datasets, improving machine learning model performance, and reducing overfitting.

2. **Content creation**: Automating the creation of content, such as music, videos, or articles, that can be used for entertainment, education, or marketing purposes.

3. **Simulation and modeling**: Generating synthetic data to simulate real-world scenarios, allowing for experimentation, testing, and analysis in various fields, such as healthcare, finance, or climate modeling.

4. **Personalization**: Creating personalized content, recommendations, or experiences tailored to individual users' preferences and behaviors.

5. **Creative assistance**: Providing tools and inspiration for human creators, such as artists, writers, or musicians, to aid in their creative processes.

6. **Synthetic data generation**: Generating realistic synthetic data to protect sensitive information, such as personal data or confidential business data.

7. **Research and development**: Facilitating research in various domains, such as computer vision, natural language processing, or robotics, by generating new data or scenarios.

8. **Entertainment and leisure**: Creating engaging and interactive experiences, such as games, chatbots, or interactive stories.

9. **Education and training**: Generating educational content, such as interactive tutorials, virtual labs, or personalized learning materials.

10. **Healthcare and biomedical applications**: Generating synthetic medical images, patient data, or clinical trials data to aid in disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and drug discovery.

Some of the key benefits of generative AI include:

* Increased efficiency and productivity

* Improved accuracy and realism

* Enhanced creativity and inspiration

* Accelerated research and development

* Personalized experiences and services

* Cost savings and reduced data collection costs

However, it's essential to address the potential risks and concerns associated with generative AI, such as:

* Misuse and abuse of generated content

* Bias and unfairness in AI-generated data

* Privacy and security concerns

* Job displacement and labor market impacts

As generative AI continues to evolve, it's crucial to develop and implement responsible AI practices, ensuring that these technologies are used for the betterment of society and humanity.

### Observability with Portkey

By routing requests through Portkey you can track a number of metrics like - tokens used, latency, cost, etc.


# Return Repeat Requests from Cache
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/return-repeat-requests-from-cache

If you have multiple users of your GenAI app triggering the same or similar queries to your models, fetching LLM response from the models can be slow and expensive.

This is because it requires multiple round trips from your app to the model and you may end up paying for the duplicate queries.

To avoid such unnecessary LLM requests, you can use Portkey as your first line of defense. It is highly effective and can be made to work across the 100+ LLMs it supports by simply making changes to a few lines of code.

## How Portkey Cache Works

All requests that have caching enabled on them will serve the subsequent responses from the Portkey’s cache.

Portkey offers two main ways of Caching techniques to enable on your requests — Simple and Semantic.

In short:

* Simple caching refers for identical input prompts to serve from cache.
* Semantic caching refers to an similarity threshold (uses cosine similarity) to serve from cache.

For detailed information, check out [this](https://portkey.ai/blog/reducing-llm-costs-and-latency-semantic-cache/) blog post.

## 1. Import and Authenticate Portkey Client SDK

You now have a brief mindmap of Portkey's approach to caching responses from LLMs.

Let's utilize the Portkey Client SDK to send chat completion requests and attach gateway configs, which in turn activate caching.

To install it, type the following in your NodeJS environment:

```js theme={"system"}
npm install portkey-ai
```

Instantiate Portkey instance

```javascript JavaScript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
const portkey = new Portkey({
    apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
    provider: '@openai-prod'  // Your provider slug from Model Catalog
});
```

At this point, it's essential to understand that you instantiate the `portkey` instance with `apiKey` and `provider` parameters. You can find the Portkey API key in your Dashboard.

Visit the reference to [obtain the Portkey API key](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/authentication) and learn how to [add providers in Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog).

## 2. Use Gateway Configs to enable Caching

The AI gateway caches your requests and serves it respecting the gateway configs on the request headers. The configs are a simple JS object or JSON string that contains following key-value pairs.

The `mode` key specifies the desired strategy of caching you want for your app.

```js theme={"system"}
// Simple Caching
"cache": { "mode": "simple" }

// Semantic Caching
"cache": { "mode": "semantic" }
```

Next up, attach these configs to the request using Portkey SDK. The SDK accepts an `config` parameter that can accept these configurations as an argument. To learn about more ways, refer to the [101 on Gateway Configs](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/gateway/blob/main/cookbook/getting-started/writing-your-first-gateway-config.md).

## 3. Make API calls, Serve from Cache

We are now ready to put what we’ve learned so far into action. We plan on making two requests to an OpenAI model (as an example) while one of them has simple caching activated on it, while other has semantic caching enabled.

```js theme={"system"}
// Simple Cache
let simpleCacheResponse = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
  {
    model: 'gpt-4',
    messages: [
      {
        role: 'user',
        content: 'What are 7 wonders of the world?'
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    config: JSON.stringify({
      cache: {
        mode: 'simple'
      }
    })
  }
);

console.log('Simple Cached Response:\n', simpleCacheResponse.choices[0].message.content);
```

Whereas for semantic caching,

```js theme={"system"}
let semanticCacheResponse = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
  {
    model: 'gpt-4',
    messages: [
      {
        role: 'user',
        content: 'List the 5 senses of Human beings?'
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    config: JSON.stringify({
      cache: {
        mode: 'semantic'
      }
    })
  }
);

console.log('\nSemantically Cached Response:\n', semanticCacheResponse.choices[0].message.content);
```

On the console:

```sh theme={"system"}
Simple Cached Response:
 1. The Great Wall of China
2. Petra, Jordan
3. Christ the Redeemer Statue, Brazil
4. Machu Picchu, Peru
5. The Chichen Itza Pyramid, Mexico
6. The Roman Colosseum, Italy
7. The Taj Mahal, India

Semantically Cached Response:
 1. Sight (Vision)
2. Hearing (Auditory)
3. Taste (Gustatory)
4. Smell (Olfactory)
5. Touch (Tactile)
```

Try experimenting with rephrasing the prompts in the `messages` array and see if you notice any difference in the time it takes to receive a response or the quality of the response itself.

Can you refresh the cache on demand? Yes, you can!

Can you control how long the cache remains active? Absolutely!

Explore the [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/cache-simple-and-semantic) on caching to know all the features available to control how you cache the LLM responses.

## 4. View Analytics and Logs

On the **Analytics** page, you can find Portkey's cache performance analytics under the Cache tab.

The **Logs** page displays a list of LLM calls that served responses from cache. The corresponding icon is activated when the cache is hit.

## Next steps

By leveraging simple and semantic caching, you can avoid unnecessary LLM requests, reduce latency, and provide a better user experience. So go ahead and experiment with the Portkey Cache in your own projects – the benefits are just a few lines of code away!

Some suggestions to experiment:

* Try using the configs from the [Portkey UI](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/gateway/blob/main/cookbook/getting-started/writing-your-first-gateway-config.md) as a reference.
* Implement caching when there are [multiple targets](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/portkey-cookbook/blob/main/ai-gateway/how-to-setup-fallback-from-openai-to-azure-openai.md#2-creating-fallback-configs) in your gateway configs. (Here’s a [clue](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/cache-simple-and-semantic#how-cache-works-with-configs))

# Tackling Rate Limiting
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/tackling-rate-limiting

LLMs are **costly** to run. As their usage increases, the providers have to balance serving user requests v/s straining their GPU resources too thin. They generally deal with this by putting _rate limits_ on how many requests a user can send in a minute or in a day.

For example, for the text-to-speech model `tts-1-hd` from OpenAI, you can not send **more than 7** requests in minute. Any extra request automatically fails.

There are many real-world use cases where it's possible to run into rate limits:

* When your requests have very high input-tokens count or a very long context, you can hit token thresholds
* When you are running a complex and long prompts pipeline that fires hundreds of requests at once, you can hit both token & request limits

## Here's an overview of rate limits imposed by various providers:

| LLM Provider                                                                    | Example Model         | Rate Limits                                                                   |

Generally, developers tackle getting rate limiting with a few tricks: caching common responses, queuing the requests, reducing the number of requests sent, etc.

**Using Portkey,** you can solve this by just adding a few lines of code to your app once.

In this cookbook, we'll show you **2 ways of ensuring** that your app **never gets rate limited** again:

## 1. Install Portkey SDK

```json theme={"system"}
npm i portkey-ai
```

Let's start by making a generic `chat.completions` call using the Portkey SDK:

```json theme={"system"}
import Portkey from "portkey-ai";

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: process.env.PORTKEYAI_API_KEY,
  virtualKey: process.env.OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,
});

response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages: [ {role: "user", content: "Hello!"} ],
  model: "gpt-4",
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

To ensure your request doesn't get rate limited, we'll utilise Portkey's **fallback** & **loadbalance** features:

## 2. Fallback to Alternative LLMs

With Portkey, you can write a call routing strategy that helps you fallback from one provider to another provider in case of rate limit errors. This is done by passing a Config object while instantiating your Portkey client:

```json theme={"system"}

import Portkey from "portkey-ai";

const portkey = new Portkey({
   apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
   config: JSON.stringify({
      strategy: {
         mode: "fallback",
         on_status_codes:[429]
      },
      targets: [
         {
            provider: "opeanai",
            api_key: "OPENAI_API_KEY"
         },
         {
            provider: "anthropic",
            api_key: "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY",
            override_params: { "max_tokens":254 }
         }
      ],
   }),
});
```

### In this Config object,

* The routing `strategy` is set as `fallback`
* `on_status_codes` param ensures that the fallback is only triggered on the `429` error code, which is generated for rate limit errors
* `targets` array contains the details of the LLMs and the order of the fallback
* The `override_params` in the second target lets you add more params for the specific provider. (`max_tokens` for Anthropic in this case)

That's it! The rest of your code remains the same. Based on the Config, Portkey will do the orchestration and ensure that Anthropic is called as a fallback option whenever you get rate limit errors on OpenAI.

Fallback is still reactive - it only gets triggered once you actually get an error. Portkey also lets you tackle rate limiting proactively:

## 3. Load Balance Among Multiple LLMs

Instead of sending all your requests to a single provider on a single account, you can split your traffic across multiple provider accounts using Portkey - this ensures that a single account does not get overburdened with requests and thus avoids rate limits. It is very easy to setup this "loadbalancing" using Portkey - just write the relevant loadbalance Config and pass it while instantiating your Portkey client once:

```json theme={"system"}

import Portkey from "portkey-ai";

const portkey = new Portkey({
   apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
   config: JSON.stringify({
      strategy: {
         mode: "loadbalance",
      },
      targets: [
         {
            provider: "openai", api_key: "OPENAI_KEY_1",
            weight: 1,
         },
         {
            provider: "openai", api_key: "OPENAI_KEY_2",
            weight: 1,
         },
         {
            provider: "openai", api_key: "OPENAI_KEY_3",
            weight: 1,
         },
      ],
   }),
});

```

### In this Config object:

* The routing `strategy` is set as `loadbalance`
* `targets` contain 3 different OpenAI API keys from 3 different accounts, all with equal weight - which means Portkey will split the traffic 1/3rd equally among the 3 keys

With Loadbalance on different accounts, you can effectively multiply your rate limits and make your app much more robust.

## That's it!

You can read more on [fallbacks here](/product/ai-gateway/fallbacks), and on [loadbalance here](/product/ai-gateway/load-balancing). If you want a deep dive on how Configs work on Portkey, [check out the docs here](/product/ai-gateway/configs).


# Trigger Automatic Retries on LLM Failures
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/trigger-automatic-retries-on-llm-failures



A sudden timeout or error could harm the user experience and hurt your service's reputation if your application relies on an LLM for a critical feature. To prevent this, it's crucial to have a reliable retry mechanism in place. This will ensure that users are not left frustrated and can depend on your service.

Retrying Requests to Large Langauge Models (LLMs) can significantly increase your Gen AI app's reliability.

It can help you handle cases such as:

1. Cases that timed out (no response from the model)
2. Cases that returned a transient error from the model

In this cookbook, you will learn to use Portkey to automatically retry the requests on specific response status codes and control the times you want to retry.

## 1. Import and Authenticate Portkey Client SDK

Portkey forwards your requests to your desired model and relays the response to your app. Portkey’s Client SDK is one of several ways to make those API calls through the AI gateway.

To install it, type the following in your NodeJS environment:

```js theme={"system"}
npm install portkey-ai
```

Import `Portkey` and instantiate it using the Portkey API Key

```javascript JavaScript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
const portkey = new Portkey({
    apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
    provider: '@openai-prod'  // Your provider slug from Model Catalog
});
```

At this point, it's essential to understand that you instantiate the `portkey` instance with `apiKey` and `provider` parameters. You can find the Portkey API key in your Dashboard.

Visit the reference to [obtain the Portkey API key](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/authentication) and learn how to [add providers in Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog).

## 2. Gateway Configs to Automatically Retry

For the AI gateway to understand that you want to apply automatic retries to your requests, you must pass Gateway Configs in your request payload. Gateway Configs can be a JS Object or a JSON string.

A typical Gateway Config to automatically retry three times when you hit rate-limits:

```
{
   retry: {
      attempts: 3,
      on_status_codes: [429]
    }
}
```

You created a `retry` object with `attempts` and `on_status_codes` keys. The value of `attempts` can be bumped up to `5` times to retry automatically, while `on_status_codes` is an optional key. By default, Portkey will attempt to retry on the status codes `[429, 500, 502, 503, 504]`.

Refer to the [101 on Gateway Configs](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/gateway/blob/main/cookbook/getting-started/writing-your-first-gateway-config.md).

## 3. Make API calls using Portkey Client SDK

You are now ready to make an API call through Portkey. While there are several ways to make API calls, in this cookbook, let’s pass the gateway configuration during the chat completion call.

```js theme={"system"}
let response = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
  {
    model: 'gpt-4',
    messages: [
      {
        role: 'user',
        content: 'What are 7 wonders of the world?'
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    config: JSON.stringify({
      retry: {
        attempts: 3,
        on_status_codes: [429]
      }
    })
  }
);

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

The Portkey SDK adds the configs in the HTTP headers to apply automatic retries to our requests. Broadly, the signature of the chat completion method:

```js theme={"system"}
await portkey.chat.completions.create( modelParmeters [, gatewayConfigs])
```

## 4. View the Logs

Now that you successfully know how to make API calls through Portkey, it’s also helpful to learn about Logs. You can find all requests sent through Portkey on the **Dashboard** > **Logs** page.

This page provides essential information such as time, cost, and response. Feel free to explore it!

Instead of using your own application-level looping or control structures to implement retries, you can use Portkey’s Gateway Configs to manage all of them.

  import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

  });

  let response = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
    {
      model: 'gpt-4',
      messages: [
        {
          role: 'user',
          content: 'What are 7 wonders of the world?'
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      config: JSON.stringify({
        retry: {
          attempts: 3
        }
      })
    }
  );

  console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
  ```

### 2. Caching, Fallbacks, Load Balancing

* **Fallbacks**: Ensure your application remains functional even if a primary service fails.
* **Load Balancing**: Efficiently distribute incoming requests among multiple models.
* **Semantic Caching**: Reduce costs and latency by intelligently caching results.

Toggle these features by saving *Configs* (from the Portkey dashboard > Configs tab).

If we want to enable semantic caching + fallback from Llama2 to Mistral, your Portkey config would look like this:

```py theme={"system"}
{

  "cache": { "mode": "semantic" },

  "strategy": { "mode": "fallback" },

  "targets": [

    {

      "provider": "anyscale",

      "api_key": "...",

      "override_params": { "model": "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf" }

    },

    {

      "provider": "anyscale",

      "api_key": "...",

      "override_params": { "model": "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1" }

    }

  ]

}
```

Now, just send the Config ID with `x-portkey-config` header:

```py theme={"system"}
""" OPENAI PYTHON SDK """

import openai, json

PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"

PORTKEY_HEADERS = {

	'Content-Type': 'application/json',

	'x-portkey-api-key': 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',

	# **************************************

	'x-portkey-config': 'CONFIG_ID'

	# **************************************

}

client = openai.OpenAI(base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, default_headers=PORTKEY_HEADERS)

response = client.chat.completions.create(

	model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1",

	messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}]

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

```py theme={"system"}
""" OPENAI NODE SDK """

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"

const PORTKEY_HEADERS = {

	'Content-Type': 'application/json',

	'x-portkey-api-key': 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',

	// **************************************

	'x-portkey-config': 'CONFIG_ID'

	// **************************************

}

const openai = new OpenAI({baseURL:PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, defaultHeaders:PORTKEY_HEADERS});

async function main() {

  const chatCompletion = await openai.chat.completions.create({

    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],

    model: 'mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1',

  });

  console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);

}

main();
```

```py theme={"system"}
""" REQUESTS LIBRARY """

import requests, json

PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions"

PORTKEY_HEADERS = {

	'Content-Type': 'application/json',

	'x-portkey-api-key': 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',

	# **************************************

	'x-portkey-config': 'CONFIG_ID'

	# **************************************

}

DATA = {"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What happens when you mix red & yellow?"}]}

response = requests.post(PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, headers=PORTKEY_HEADERS, json=DATA)

print(response.text)
```

```sh theme={"system"}
""" CURL """

curl "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions" \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

  -H "x-portkey-api-key: PORTKEY_API_KEY" \

  -H "x-portkey-config: CONFIG_ID" \

  -d '{ "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say 'Test'."}] }'
```

### 3. Collect Feedback

Gather weighted feedback from users and improve your app:

```py theme={"system"}
""" REQUESTS LIBRARY """

import requests

import json

PORTKEY_FEEDBACK_URL = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/feedback" # Portkey Feedback Endpoint

PORTKEY_HEADERS = {

	"x-portkey-api-key": "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

	"Content-Type": "application/json",

}

DATA = {

	"trace_id": "anyscale_portkey_test", # On Portkey, you can append feedback to a particular Trace ID

	"value": 1,

	"weight": 0.5

}

response = requests.post(PORTKEY_FEEDBACK_URL, headers=PORTKEY_HEADERS, data=json.dumps(DATA))

print(response.text)
```

```sh theme={"system"}
""" CURL """

curl "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/feedback" \

  -H "x-portkey-api-key: PORTKEY_API_KEY" \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

  -d '{

    "trace_id": "anyscale_portkey_test",

    "value": 1,

    "weight": 0.5

  }'
```

```
The primary purpose of generative AI is to create new, original, and often realistic data or content, such as images, videos, music, text, or speeches, that are similar to those created by humans. Generative AI models are designed to generate new data samples that are indistinguishable from real-world data, allowing for a wide range of applications and possibilities. Some of the main purposes of generative AI include:

1. **Data augmentation**: Generating new data to augment existing datasets, improving machine learning model performance, and reducing overfitting.

2. **Content creation**: Automating the creation of content, such as music, videos, or articles, that can be used for entertainment, education, or marketing purposes.

3. **Simulation and modeling**: Generating synthetic data to simulate real-world scenarios, allowing for experimentation, testing, and analysis in various fields, such as healthcare, finance, or climate modeling.

4. **Personalization**: Creating personalized content, recommendations, or experiences tailored to individual users' preferences and behaviors.

5. **Creative assistance**: Providing tools and inspiration for human creators, such as artists, writers, or musicians, to aid in their creative processes.

6. **Synthetic data generation**: Generating realistic synthetic data to protect sensitive information, such as personal data or confidential business data.

7. **Research and development**: Facilitating research in various domains, such as computer vision, natural language processing, or robotics, by generating new data or scenarios.

8. **Entertainment and leisure**: Creating engaging and interactive experiences, such as games, chatbots, or interactive stories.

9. **Education and training**: Generating educational content, such as interactive tutorials, virtual labs, or personalized learning materials.

10. **Healthcare and biomedical applications**: Generating synthetic medical images, patient data, or clinical trials data to aid in disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and drug discovery.

Some of the key benefits of generative AI include:

* Increased efficiency and productivity

* Improved accuracy and realism

* Enhanced creativity and inspiration

* Accelerated research and development

* Personalized experiences and services

* Cost savings and reduced data collection costs

However, it's essential to address the potential risks and concerns associated with generative AI, such as:

* Misuse and abuse of generated content

* Bias and unfairness in AI-generated data

* Privacy and security concerns

* Job displacement and labor market impacts

As generative AI continues to evolve, it's crucial to develop and implement responsible AI practices, ensuring that these technologies are used for the betterment of society and humanity.

### With Portkey Client

Note: You can safely store your Groq API key in [Portkey](https://app.portkey.ai/) and access models using virtual key

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key = userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY'),   # replace with your Portkey API key

    provider="@groq-431005",   # replace with your virtual key for Groq AI

)
```

```py theme={"system"}
completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(

    messages= [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Who are you?'}],

    model= 'llama3-70b-8192',

    max_tokens=250

)

print(completion)

### Advanced Routing - Load Balancing

With load balancing, you can distribute load effectively across multiple API keys or providers based on custom weights to ensure high availability and optimal performance.

Let's take an example where we might want to split traffic between Groq's `llama-3-70b` and OpenAI's `gpt-3.5` giving a weightage of 70-30.

The gateway configuration for this would look like the following:

```py theme={"system"}
config = {

  "strategy": {

      "mode": "loadbalance",

  },

  "targets": [

    {

      "virtual_key": "groq-431005", # Groq virtual key

      "override_params": {"model": "llama3-70b-8192"},

      "weight": 0.7

    },

    {

      "virtual_key": "gpt3-8070a6", # OpenAI virtual key

      "override_params": {"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo-0125"},

      "weight": 0.3

    }

  ]

}
```

```py theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI

from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

from google.colab import userdata

client = OpenAI(

    api_key="X",

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        api_key=userdata.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY"),

        config=config

    )

)

chat_complete = client.chat.completions.create(

    model="X",

    messages=[{"role": "user",

               "content": "Just say hi!"}],

)

print(chat_complete.model)

print(chat_complete.choices[0].message.content)
```

```sh theme={"system"}
gpt-3.5-turbo-0125

Hi! How can I assist you today?

# Introduction to GPT-4o
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/integrations/introduction-to-gpt-4o



> This notebook is from OpenAI [Cookbooks](https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/blob/main/examples/gpt4o/introduction%5Fto%5Fgpt4o.ipynb), enhanced with Portkey observability and features

## The GPT-4o Model

GPT-4o ("o" for "omni") is designed to handle a combination of text, audio, and video inputs, and can generate outputs in text, audio, and image formats.

### Current Capabilities

Currently, the API supports `{text, image}` inputs only, with `{text}` outputs, the same modalities as `gpt-4-turbo`. Additional modalities, including audio, will be **introduced soon**.

This guide will help you get started with using GPT-4o for text, image, and video understanding.

## Getting Started

### Install OpenAI SDK for Python

```py theme={"system"}
pip install --upgrade --quiet openai portkey-ai
```

### Configure the OpenAI Client

First, grab your OpenAI API key [here](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys). Now, let's start with a simple  input to the model for our first request. We'll use both `system` and `user` messages for our first request, and we'll receive a response from the `assistant` role.

```py theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI

from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

import os

## Set the API key and model name

MODEL="gpt-4o"

client = OpenAI(

    api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", ""),

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        provider="openai",

        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY" # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")

    )

  )
```

```py theme={"system"}
completion = client.chat.completions.create(

  model=MODEL,

  messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant. Help me with my math homework!"}, # <-- This is the system message that provides context to the model

    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello! Could you solve 2+2?"}  # <-- This is the user message for which the model will generate a response

  ]

)

print("Assistant: " + completion.choices[0].message.content)
```

## Image Processing

GPT-4o can directly process images and take intelligent actions based on the image. We can provide images in two formats:

1. Base64 Encoded
2. URL

Let's first view the image we'll use, then try sending this image as both Base64 and as a URL link to the API

```py theme={"system"}
from IPython.display import Image, display, Audio, Markdown

import base64

IMAGE_PATH = "data/triangle.png"

# Preview image for context

display(Image(IMAGE_PATH))
```

#### Base64 Image Processing

```py theme={"system"}
# Open the image file and encode it as a base64 string

def encode_image(image_path):

    with open(image_path, "rb") as image_file:

        return base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode("utf-8")

base64_image = encode_image(IMAGE_PATH)

response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant that responds in Markdown. Help me with my math homework!"},

        {"role": "user", "content": [

            {"type": "text", "text": "What's the area of the triangle?"},

            {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {

                "url": f"data:image/png;base64,{base64_image}"}

            }

        ]}

    ],

    temperature=0.0,

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

#### URL Image Processing

```py theme={"system"}
response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant that responds in Markdown. Help me with my math homework!"},

        {"role": "user", "content": [

            {"type": "text", "text": "What's the area of the triangle?"},

            {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {

                "url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e2/The_Algebra_of_Mohammed_Ben_Musa_-_page_82b.png"}

            }

        ]}

    ],

    temperature=0.0,

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

## Video Processing

While it's not possible to directly send a video to the API, GPT-4o can understand videos if you sample frames and then provide them as images. It performs better at this task than GPT-4 Turbo.

Since GPT-4o in the API does not yet support audio-in (as of May 2024), we'll use a combination of GPT-4o and Whisper to process both the audio and visual for a provided video, and showcase two usecases:

1. Summarization
2. Question and Answering

### Setup for Video Processing

We'll use two python packages for video processing - opencv-python and moviepy.

These require [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/about.html), so make sure to install this beforehand. Depending on your OS, you may need to run `brew install ffmpeg` or `sudo apt install ffmpeg`

```py theme={"system"}
pip install opencv-python --quiet

pip install moviepy --quiet
```

### Process the video into two components: frames and audio

```py theme={"system"}
import cv2

from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip

import time

import base64

# We'll be using the OpenAI DevDay Keynote Recap video. You can review the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h02ti0Bl6zk

VIDEO_PATH = "data/keynote_recap.mp4"
```

```py theme={"system"}
def process_video(video_path, seconds_per_frame=2):

    base64Frames = []

    base_video_path, _ = os.path.splitext(video_path)

    video = cv2.VideoCapture(video_path)

    total_frames = int(video.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT))

    fps = video.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS)

    frames_to_skip = int(fps * seconds_per_frame)

    curr_frame=0

    # Loop through the video and extract frames at specified sampling rate

    while curr_frame < total_frames - 1:

        video.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, curr_frame)

        success, frame = video.read()

        if not success:

            break

        _, buffer = cv2.imencode(".jpg", frame)

        base64Frames.append(base64.b64encode(buffer).decode("utf-8"))

        curr_frame += frames_to_skip

    video.release()

    # Extract audio from video

    audio_path = f"{base_video_path}.mp3"

    clip = VideoFileClip(video_path)

    clip.audio.write_audiofile(audio_path, bitrate="32k")

    clip.audio.close()

    clip.close()

    print(f"Extracted {len(base64Frames)} frames")

    print(f"Extracted audio to {audio_path}")

    return base64Frames, audio_path

# Extract 1 frame per second. You can adjust the `seconds_per_frame` parameter to change the sampling rate

base64Frames, audio_path = process_video(VIDEO_PATH, seconds_per_frame=1)

```

```py theme={"system"}
## Display the frames and audio for context

display_handle = display(None, display_id=True)

for img in base64Frames:

    display_handle.update(Image(data=base64.b64decode(img.encode("utf-8")), width=600))

    time.sleep(0.025)

Audio(audio_path)
```

### Example 1: Summarization

Now that we have both the video frames and the audio, let's run a few different tests to generate a video summary to compare the results of using the models with different modalities. We should expect to see that the summary generated with context from both visual and audio inputs will be the most accurate, as the model is able to use the entire context from the video.

1. Visual Summary
2. Audio Summary
3. Visual + Audio Summary

#### Visual Summary

The visual summary is generated by sending the model only the frames from the video. With just the frames, the model is likely to capture the visual aspects, but will miss any details discussed by the speaker.

```py theme={"system"}
response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content": "You are generating a video summary. Please provide a summary of the video. Respond in Markdown."},

    {"role": "user", "content": [

        "These are the frames from the video.",

        *map(lambda x: {"type": "image_url",

                        "image_url": {"url": f'data:image/jpg;base64,{x}', "detail": "low"}}, base64Frames)

        ],

    }

    ],

    temperature=0,

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

The model is able to capture the high level aspects of the video visuals, but misses the details provided in the speech.

#### Audio Summary

The audio summary is generated by sending the model the audio transcript. With just the audio, the model is likely to bias towards the audio content, and will miss the context provided by the presentations and visuals.

`{audio}` input for GPT-4o isn't currently available but will be coming soon! For now, we use our existing `whisper-1` model to process the audio

```py theme={"system"}
# Transcribe the audio

transcription = client.audio.transcriptions.create(

    model="whisper-1",

    file=open(audio_path, "rb"),

)

## OPTIONAL: Uncomment the line below to print the transcription

#print("Transcript: ", transcription.text + "\n\n")

response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content":"""You are generating a transcript summary. Create a summary of the provided transcription. Respond in Markdown."""},

    {"role": "user", "content": [

        {"type": "text", "text": f"The audio transcription is: {transcription.text}"}

        ],

    }

    ],

    temperature=0,

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

The audio summary might be biased towards the content discussed during the speech, but comes out with much less structure than the video summary.

#### Audio + Visual Summary

The Audio + Visual summary is generated by sending the model both the visual and the audio from the video at once. When sending both of these, the model is expected to better summarize since it can perceive the entire video at once.

```py theme={"system"}
## Generate a summary with visual and audio

response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content":"""You are generating a video summary. Create a summary of the provided video and its transcript. Respond in Markdown"""},

    {"role": "user", "content": [

        "These are the frames from the video.",

        *map(lambda x: {"type": "image_url",

                        "image_url": {"url": f'data:image/jpg;base64,{x}', "detail": "low"}}, base64Frames),

        {"type": "text", "text": f"The audio transcription is: {transcription.text}"}

        ],

    }

],

    temperature=0,

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

After combining both the video and audio, you'll be able to get a much more detailed and comprehensive summary for the event which uses information from both the visual and audio elements from the video.

### Example 2: Question and Answering

For the Q\&A, we'll use the same concept as before to ask questions of our processed video while running the same 3 tests to demonstrate the benefit of combining input modalities:

1. Visual Q\&A
2. Audio Q\&A
3. Visual + Audio Q\&A

```
QUESTION = "Question: Why did Sam Altman have an example about raising windows and turning the radio on?"
```

```py theme={"system"}
qa_visual_response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content": "Use the video to answer the provided question. Respond in Markdown."},

    {"role": "user", "content": [

        "These are the frames from the video.",

        *map(lambda x: {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": f'data:image/jpg;base64,{x}', "detail": "low"}}, base64Frames),

```

> ```

> Sam Altman used the example about raising windows and turning the radio on to demonstrate the function calling capability of GPT-4 Turbo. The example illustrated how the model can interpret and execute multiple commands in a more structured and efficient manner. The "before" and "after" comparison showed how the model can now directly call functions like `raise_windows()` and `radio_on()` based on natural language instructions, showcasing improved control and functionality.

```py theme={"system"}
qa_audio_response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    ],

    temperature=0,

)

print("Audio QA:\n" + qa_audio_response.choices[0].message.content)
```

> ```
> Audio QA:

```py theme={"system"}
qa_both_response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content":"""Use the video and transcription to answer the provided question."""},

    {"role": "user", "content": [

        "These are the frames from the video.",

        *map(lambda x: {"type": "image_url",

                        "image_url": {"url": f'data:image/jpg;base64,{x}', "detail": "low"}}, base64Frames),

                        {"type": "text", "text": f"The audio transcription is: {transcription.text}"},

        QUESTION

        ],

    }

    ],

    temperature=0,

)

print("Both QA:\n" + qa_both_response.choices[0].message.content)
```

> ```
> Both QA:
>
> Sam Altman used the example of raising windows and turning the radio on to demonstrate the improved function calling capabilities of GPT-4 Turbo. The example illustrated how the model can now handle multiple function calls more effectively and follow instructions better. In the "before" scenario, the model had to be prompted separately for each action, whereas in the "after" scenario, the model could handle both actions in a single prompt, showcasing its enhanced ability to manage and execute multiple tasks simultaneously.
> ```

Comparing the three answers, the most accurate answer is generated by using both the audio and visual from the video. Sam Altman did not discuss the raising windows or radio on during the Keynote, but referenced an improved capability for the model to execute multiple functions in a single request while the examples were shown behind him.

## Conclusion

Integrating many input modalities such as audio, visual, and textual, significantly enhances the performance of the model on a diverse range of tasks. This multimodal approach allows for more comprehensive understanding and interaction, mirroring more closely how humans perceive and process information.

## Portkey + Langchain

[Portkey](https://app.portkey.ai/) is the Control Panel for AI apps. With it's popular AI Gateway and Observability Suite, hundreds of teams ship reliable, cost-efficient, and fast apps.

Portkey brings production readiness to Langchain. With Portkey, you can

* Connect to 150+ models through a unified API,
* View 42+ metrics & logs for all requests,
* Enable semantic cache to reduce latency & costs,
* Implement automatic retries & fallbacks for failed requests,
* Add custom tags to requests for better tracking and analysis and more.

### Quickstart

Since Portkey is fully compatible with the OpenAI signature, you can connect to the Portkey AI Gateway through the ChatOpenAI interface.

* Set the `base_url` as `PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL`
* Add `default_headers` to consume the headers needed by Portkey using the `createHeaders` helper method.

To start, get your Portkey API key by signing up [here](https://app.portkey.ai/). (Click the profile icon on the bottom left, then click on " API Key")

```sh theme={"system"}
!pip install -qU portkey-ai langchain-openai
```

We can now connect to the Portkey AI Gateway by updating the `ChatOpenAI` model in Langchain

#### Using OpenAI models with Portkey + ChatOpenAI

```JSON theme={"system"}
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

from google.colab import userdata

portkey_headers = createHeaders(api_key= userdata.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY"), ## Grab from https://app.portkey.ai/

                                provider="openai"

                                )

llm = ChatOpenAI(api_key= userdata.get("OPENAI_API_KEY"),

                 base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

                 default_headers=portkey_headers)

llm.invoke("What is the meaning of life, universe and everything?")
```

#### Using Together AI models with Portkey + ChatOpenAI

```JSON theme={"system"}
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

from google.colab import userdata

portkey_headers = createHeaders(api_key= userdata.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY"), ## Grab from https://app.portkey.ai/

                                provider="together-ai"

                                )

llm = ChatOpenAI(model = "meta-llama/Llama-3-8b-chat-hf",

                 api_key= userdata.get("TOGETHER_API_KEY"), ## Replace it with your provider key

                 base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

                 default_headers=portkey_headers)

llm.invoke("What is the meaning of life, universe and everything?")
```

### Advanced Routing - Load Balancing, Fallbacks, Retries

The Portkey AI Gateway brings capabilities like load-balancing, fallbacks, experimentation and canary testing to Langchain through a configuration-first approach.

Let's take an example where we might want to split traffic between `llama-3-70b` and `gpt-3.5` 50:50 to test the two large models. The gateway configuration for this would look like the following:

```JSON theme={"system"}
config = {

    "strategy": {

         "mode": "loadbalance"

    },

    "targets": [{

        "virtual_key": "gpt3-8070a6", # OpenAI's virtual key

        "override_params": {"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo"},

        "weight": 0.5

    }, {

        "virtual_key": "together-1c20e9", # Together's virtual key

        "override_params": {"model": "meta-llama/Llama-3-8b-chat-hf"},

        "weight": 0.5

    }]

}
```

```py theme={"system"}
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

from google.colab import userdata

portkey_headers = createHeaders(

    api_key= userdata.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY"),

    config=config

)

llm = ChatOpenAI(api_key="X", base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, default_headers=portkey_headers)

llm.invoke("What is the meaning of life, universe and everything?")
```

# Mistral
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/integrations/mistral

Portkey helps bring Mistral's APIs to production with its observability suite & AI Gateway.

Use the Mistral API **through** Portkey for:

1. **Enhanced Logging**: Track API usage with detailed insights and custom segmentation.
2. **Production Reliability**: Automated fallbacks, load balancing, retries, time outs, and caching.
3. **Continuous Improvement**: Collect and apply user feedback.

### 1.1 Setup & Logging

1. Obtain your [**Portkey API Key**](https://app.portkey.ai/).
2. Set `$ export PORTKEY_API_KEY=PORTKEY_API_KEY`
3. Set `$ export MISTRAL_API_KEY=MISTRAL_API_KEY`
4. `pip install portkey-ai` or `npm i portkey-ai`

```py theme={"system"}
""" OPENAI PYTHON SDK """

from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    # ************************************

    provider="mistral-ai",

    Authorization="Bearer MISTRAL_API_KEY"

    # ************************************

)

response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

    model="mistral-tiny",

    messages = [{ "role": "user", "content": "c'est la vie" }]

)
```

```py theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    // ***********************************

    provider: "mistral-ai",

    Authorization: "Bearer MISTRAL_API_KEH"

    // ***********************************

})

async function main(){

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({

      model: "mistral-tiny",

      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: "c'est la vie" }]

  });

}

main()
```

### 1.2. Enhanced Observability

* **Trace** requests with single id.
* **Append custom tags** for request segmenting & in-depth analysis.

Just add their relevant headers to your request:

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    provider="mistral-ai",

    Authorization="Bearer MISTRAL_API_KEY"

)

response = portkey.with_options(

    # ************************************

    trace_id="ux5a7",

    metadata={"user": "john_doe"}

    # ************************************

).chat.completions.create(

    model="mistral-tiny",

    messages = [{ "role": "user", "content": "c'est la vie" }]

)
```

```py theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    provider: "mistral-ai",

    Authorization: "Bearer MISTRAL_API_KEH"

})

async function main(){

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({

      model: "mistral-tiny",

      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: "c'est la vie" }]

  },{

    // ***********************************

    traceID: "ux5a7",

    metadata: {"user": "john_doe"}

});

}

main()
```

Here’s how your logs will appear on your Portkey dashboard:

<img alt="" />

### 2. Caching, Fallbacks, Load Balancing

* **Fallbacks**: Ensure your application remains functional even if a primary service fails.
* **Load Balancing**: Efficiently distribute incoming requests among multiple models.
* **Semantic Caching**: Reduce costs and latency by intelligently caching results.

Toggle these features by saving *Configs* (from the Portkey dashboard > Configs tab).

If we want to enable semantic caching + fallback from Mistral-Medium to Mistral-Tiny, your Portkey config would look like this:

```py theme={"system"}
{

	"cache": {"mode": "semantic"},

	"strategy": {"mode": "fallback"},

	"targets": [

		{

			"provider": "mistral-ai", "api_key": "...",

			"override_params": {"model": "mistral-medium"}

		},

		{

			"provider": "mistral-ai", "api_key": "...",

			"override_params": {"model": "mistral-tiny"}

		}

	]

}
```

Now, just set the Config ID while instantiating Portkey:

```py theme={"system"}
""" OPENAI PYTHON SDK """

from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    # ************************************

    config="pp-mistral-cache-xx"

    # ************************************

)

response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

    model="mistral-tiny",

    messages = [{ "role": "user", "content": "c'est la vie" }]

)
```

```js theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    // ***********************************

    config: "pp-mistral-cache-xx"

    // ***********************************

})

async function main(){

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({

      model: "mistral-tiny",

      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: "c'est la vie" }]

  });

}

main()
```

For more on Configs and other gateway feature like Load Balancing, [check out the docs.](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations)

### 3. Collect Feedback

Gather weighted feedback from users and improve your app:

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"

)

def send_feedback():

    portkey.feedback.create(

        'trace_id'= 'REQUEST_TRACE_ID',

        'value'= 0  # For thumbs down

    )

send_feedback()
```

```py theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"

});

const sendFeedback = async () => {

    await portkey.feedback.create({

        traceID: "REQUEST_TRACE_ID",

        value: 1  // For thumbs up

    });

}

await sendFeedback();
```

#### Conclusion

Integrating Portkey with Mistral helps you build resilient LLM apps from the get-go. With features like semantic caching, observability, load balancing, feedback, and fallbacks, you can ensure optimal performance and continuous improvement.

# Sync Open WebUI Feedback → Portkey
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/integrations/openwebui-to-portkey

How to export thumbs-up/down from Open WebUI and ingest into Portkey using a one-file Python or Node script.

<Info>
  Run this playbook on-demand to move Open WebUI feedback into the Portkey feedback API with zero infrastructure or product changes.
</Info>

## Why this cookbook

Portkey is your control plane for AI observability, governance, and feedback. Open WebUI already captures thumbs-up/thumbs-down signals at the message level. When you need a fast, enterprise-friendly way to push those ratings into the [Portkey feedback API](../../api-reference/admin-api/data-plane/feedback/create-feedback), this guide hands you a no-infra approach. For additional automation options, see the [Open WebUI integration overview](../../integrations/libraries/openwebui).

## What you’ll build (at a glance)

* **One-file script**: Choose Python or Node to handle the entire fetch-map-post flow.
* **Manual cadence**: Trigger the sync whenever leadership wants a fresh pulse.
* **Governed ingestion**: Enforce consistent `trace_id`, `value`, `weight`, and `metadata` across every payload.
* **Zero changes to Open WebUI**: Leverage existing export endpoints—no patches, no servers.

## Architecture overview

## Data mapping for the Portkey feedback API

| Portkey field | Source in Open WebUI        | Notes                                                                                 |
| ------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `trace_id`    | `"{chat_id}:{message_id}"`  | Composite identifier that stays unique per message.                                   |
| `value`       | `data.rating`               | Map 👍 to `+1`, 👎 to `-1`. Other ratings are ignored.                                |
| `weight`      | Constant `1`                | Keep scoring aligned for executive dashboards.                                        |
| `metadata`    | `data ∪ meta` (plus extras) | Merge native metadata and append `snapshot_chat_id`, `message_index`, `user_id`, etc. |

## Prerequisites

* **Open WebUI access**: Base URL plus a token with permission to read feedback.
* **Portkey workspace**: API key for the feedback API and optional custom base URL if you self-host Portkey.

### Environment variables

```bash theme={"system"}
export OPENWEBUI_BASE_URL="https://openwebui.example.com"
export OPENWEBUI_TOKEN="OWUI_ADMIN_OR_USER_TOKEN"
export PORTKEY_API_KEY="pk_live_xxx"
# Optional for self-hosted control planes
# export PORTKEY_BASE_URL="https://cp.your-domain.com/v1"
```

<Note>
  On Windows PowerShell, set variables with:<br />

  ```powershell theme={"system"}
  $env:OPENWEBUI_BASE_URL="https://openwebui.example.com"
  $env:OPENWEBUI_TOKEN="OWUI_ADMIN_OR_USER_TOKEN"
  $env:PORTKEY_API_KEY="pk_live_xxx"
  # Optional: $env:PORTKEY_BASE_URL="https://cp.your-domain.com/v1"
  ```
</Note>

## How to run (dry-run to production)

<Steps>
  <Step title="Dry-run first">
    Preview mapped payloads before ingesting them into Portkey.

    ```bash theme={"system"}
    python3 owui_to_portkey.py --dry-run
    node owui_to_portkey.mjs --dry-run
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter by timeframe">
    Limit ingestion to recent ratings by passing a Unix epoch.

    ```bash theme={"system"}
    # Linux
    python3 owui_to_portkey.py --since $(date -d '2 hours ago' +%s)
    node owui_to_portkey.mjs --since=$(date -d '2 hours ago' +%s)

    # macOS
    python3 owui_to_portkey.py --since $(date -v-2H +%s)
    node owui_to_portkey.mjs --since=$(date -v-2H +%s)
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ship to Portkey feedback API">
    Remove `--dry-run` to push ratings into Portkey whenever executives need updated insights.

    ```bash theme={"system"}
    python3 owui_to_portkey.py
    node owui_to_portkey.mjs
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Switch to user scope when needed">
    If your token is limited to personal feedback, add `--user-scope`. The mapping logic stays the same.

    ```bash theme={"system"}
    python3 owui_to_portkey.py --user-scope --since $(date -d '1 hour ago' +%s 2>/dev/null || python - <<'PY'
    import time
    print(int(time.time() - 3600))
    PY
    )
    node owui_to_portkey.mjs --user-scope --since=$(date -d '1 hour ago' +%s 2>/dev/null || node -e "console.log(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) - 3600)")
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Security & guardrails

* **Least privilege**: Issue read-only Open WebUI tokens and rotate them regularly.
* **Secret hygiene**: Set keys via environment variables—never commit them into source control.
* **Right-sized metadata**: The scripts include light snapshot details (`snapshot_chat_id`). Trim fields if your policies require tighter scoping.
* **Idempotent reruns**: The `--since` filter keeps repeated executions from flooding Portkey with duplicates.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="401 from Open WebUI">
    The scripts automatically retry with `Cookie: token=...`—validate the token scope if issues persist.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Empty exports">
    Confirm that ratings exist and that your Open WebUI user has evaluation access.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Portkey 4xx/5xx">
    Double-check `PORTKEY_API_KEY` and verify `trace_id`, `value`, `weight`, and `metadata` formats.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="High volume">
    Add additional filters (for example by `model_id` or `user_id`) before posting to Portkey.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I expand scoring later?">
    Yes. Portkey accepts `value` ranges from `-10` to `10`. Adjust the script’s mapping once you adopt richer scales.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I attach more metadata?">
    Absolutely. Append any key/value pairs to `metadata` before the payload posts to Portkey.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if I want real-time sync?">
    This cookbook is optimized for on-demand runs. Contact the Portkey team for the managed connector when you’re ready for fully automated synchronization.

## Portkey + Segmind

[Portkey](https://app.portkey.ai/) is the Control Panel for AI apps. With it's popular AI Gateway and Observability Suite, hundreds of teams ship reliable, cost-efficient, and fast apps.

With Portkey, you can

* Connect to 150+ models through a unified API,
* View 40+ metrics & logs for all requests,
* Enable semantic cache to reduce latency & costs,
* Implement automatic retries & fallbacks for failed requests,
* Add custom tags to requests for better tracking and analysis and more.

**Segmind** provides serverless APIs for hundreds of [generative models](https://www.segmind.com/models) that can be applied to a specific task that your application wants to accomplish. You can grab the APIs from the model page to get started with integrating them with your app. Before you can start making API calls, you will need an API key to authenticate your application.

**Display Image ( Utility function )**

```py theme={"system"}
import base64

import io

from PIL import Image

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def display_image(image):

  # Assuming your data is stored in a variable named `response_data`

  response_data = image.data

  print(response_data)

  # Extract the base64-encoded image data  (This if condition is only if we fallback to Dall-E as dall e doesn't provide b64_json instead it gives the direct url)

  if (response_data[0].url):

    print(response_data[0].url)

  else:

    b64_image_data = response_data[0].b64_json

    # Decode the base64-encoded image data

    image_data = base64.b64decode(b64_image_data)

    # Convert the decoded image data into a PIL image object

    image = Image.open(io.BytesIO(image_data))

    # Display the image using Matplotlib

    plt.imshow(image)

    plt.axis('off')  # Hide axis

    plt.show()

```

### Quickstart

Since Portkey is fully compatible with the OpenAI signature, you can connect to the Portkey AI Gateway through OpenAI Client.

* Set the `base_url` as `PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL`
* Add `default_headers` to consume the headers needed by Portkey using the `createHeaders` helper method.

You will need Portkey and Segmind API keys to run this notebook.

* Sign up for Portkey and generate your API key [here](https://app.portkey.ai/).
* Get your Segmind key [here](https://cloud.segmind.com/console/api-keys)

### With OpenAI Client

```py theme={"system"}
!pip install -qU portkey-ai
```

```py theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI

from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

from google.colab import userdata

client = OpenAI(

    api_key=userdata.get('SEGMIND_API_KEY'),  # replace with your Segmind API key

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        provider="segmind",

        api_key=userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY')  # replace with your Portkey API key

    )

)
```

```py theme={"system"}
image = client.images.generate(

    prompt="A stunning landscape with a mountain range and a lake",

    model="sdxl1.0-newreality-lightning"  # replace with the actual model name

)

display_image(image)
```

## With Portkey Client

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key= userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY'),

    provider="@segmind-e63290"

)
```

```py theme={"system"}
image = portkey.images.generate(

  model="sdxl1.0-newreality-lightning",

  prompt="Humans and Robots in parallel universe",

  size="1024x1024"

)

display_image(image)
```

### `Optional` Advanced Routing - Fallbacks

The Fallback feature allows you to specify a list of providers/models in a prioritized order. If the primary LLM fails to respond or encounters an error, Portkey will automatically fallback to the next LLM in the list, ensuring your application's robustness and reliability.

To enable fallbacks, you can modify the [config object](https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/config-object) to include the fallback mode.

Note: You can create and store custom configurations on [Portkey](https://app.portkey.ai/).

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key= userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY'),

    # Fallback to Dall-E  (If segmind fails)

    config="pc-segmin-ab3d5d", # Config key, Generated when you create a config

    provider="@test-segmind-643f94"

)
```

```py theme={"system"}
image = portkey.images.generate(

  model="sdxl1.0-newreality-lightning",

  prompt="Humans and Robots in parallel universe",

  size="1024x1024"

)

display_image(image)
```

### Monitoring your Requests

#### Using Portkey you can monitor your Segmind requests and track tokens, cost, latency, and more.

# Vercel AI
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/integrations/vercel-ai

Portkey is a control panel for your Vercel AI app. It makes your LLM integrations prod-ready, reliable, fast, and cost-efficient.

Use Portkey with your Vercel app for:

1. Calling 100+ LLMs (open & closed)
2. Logging & analysing LLM usage
3. Caching responses
4. Automating fallbacks, retries, timeouts, and load balancing
5. Managing, versioning, and deploying prompts
6. Continuously improving app with user feedback

## Guide: Create a Portkey + OpenAI Chatbot

### 1. Create a NextJS app

Go ahead and create a Next.js application, and install `ai` and `portkey-ai` as dependencies.

```sh theme={"system"}
pnpm dlx create-next-app my-ai-app

cd my-ai-app

pnpm install ai @ai-sdk/openai portkey-ai
```

### 2. Add Authentication keys to `.env`

1. Login to Portkey [here](https://app.portkey.ai/)
2. To integrate OpenAI with Portkey, add your OpenAI API key to Portkey’s Virtual Keys
3. This will give you a disposable key that you can use and rotate instead of directly using the OpenAI API key
4. Grab the Virtual key & your Portkey API key and add them to `.env` file:

```sh theme={"system"}
# ".env"

PORTKEY_API_KEY="xxxxxxxxxx"

OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY="xxxxxxxxxx"
```

### 3. Create Route Handler

Create a Next.js Route Handler that utilizes the Edge Runtime to generate a chat completion. Stream back to Next.js.

For this example, create a route handler at `app/api/chat/route.ts` that calls GPT-4 and accepts a `POST` request with a messages array of strings:

```py theme={"system"}
// filename="app/api/chat/route.ts"

import { streamText } from 'ai';

import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai';

import { createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from 'portkey-ai';

// Create a OpenAI client

const client = createOpenAI({

    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    apiKey: "xx",

    headers: createHeaders({

        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

        virtualKey: "OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY"

    }),

})

// Set the runtime to edge for best performance

export const runtime = 'edge';

export async function POST(req: Request) {

  const { messages } = await req.json();

  // Invoke Chat Completion

  const response = await streamText({

    model: client('gpt-3.5-turbo'),

    messages

  })

  // Respond with the stream

  return response.toTextStreamResponse();

}
```

Portkey follows the same signature as OpenAI SDK but extends it to work with **100+ LLMs**. Here, the chat completion call will be sent to the `gpt-3.5-turbo` model, and the response will be streamed to your Next.js app.

### 4. Switch from OpenAI to Anthropic

Portkey is powered by an [open-source, universal AI Gateway](https://github.com/portkey-ai/gateway) with which you can route to 100+ LLMs using the same, known OpenAI spec.

Let’s see how you can switch from GPT-4 to Claude-3-Opus by updating 2 lines of code (without breaking anything else).

1. Add your Anthropic API key or AWS Bedrock secrets to Portkey’s Virtual Keys
2. Update the virtual key while instantiating your Portkey client
3. Update the model name while making your `/chat/completions` call
4. Add maxTokens field inside streamText invocation (Anthropic requires this field)

Let’s see it in action:

```py theme={"system"}
const client = createOpenAI({

    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    apiKey: "xx",

    headers: createHeaders({

        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

        virtualKey: "ANTHROPIC_VIRTUAL_KEY"

    }),

})

// Set the runtime to edge for best performance

export const runtime = 'edge';

export async function POST(req: Request) {

  const { messages } = await req.json();

  // Invoke Chat Completion

  const response = await streamText({

    model: client('claude-3-opus-20240229'),

    messages,

    maxTokens: 200

  })

  // Respond with the stream

  return response.toTextStreamResponse();

}
```

### 5. Switch to Gemini 1.5

Similarly, you can just add your [Google AI Studio API key](https://aistudio.google.com/app/) to Portkey and call Gemini 1.5:

```py theme={"system"}
const client = createOpenAI({

    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    apiKey: "xx",

    headers: createHeaders({

        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

        virtualKey: "GEMINI_VIRTUAL_KEY"

    }),

})

// Set the runtime to edge for best performance

export const runtime = 'edge';

export async function POST(req: Request) {

  const { messages } = await req.json();

  // Invoke Chat Completion

  const response = await streamText({

    model: client('gemini-1.5-flash'),

    messages

  })

  // Respond with the stream

  return response.toTextStreamResponse();

}
```

The same will follow for all the other providers like **Azure**, **Mistral**, **Anyscale**, **Together**, and [more](https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/provider-endpoints/supported-providers).

### 6. Wire up the UI

Let's create a Client component that will have a form to collect the prompt from the user and stream back the completion. The `useChat` hook will default use the `POST` Route Handler we created earlier (`/api/chat`). However, you can override this default value by passing an `api` prop to useChat(`{ api: '...'}`).

```py theme={"system"}
//"app/page.tsx"

'use client';

import { useChat } from 'ai/react';

export default function Chat() {

  const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit } = useChat();

  return (


      {messages.map((m) => (


          {m.role === 'user' ? 'User: ' : 'AI: '}

          {m.content}
      ))}
  );
}
```

### 7. Log the Requests

Portkey logs all the requests you’re sending to help you debug errors, and get request-level + aggregate insights on costs, latency, errors, and more.

You can enhance the logging by tracing certain requests, passing custom metadata or user feedback.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

**Segmenting Requests with Metadata**

While Creating the Client, you can pass any `{"key":"value"}` pairs inside the metadata header. Portkey segments the requests based on the metadata to give you granular insights.

```sh theme={"system"}
const client = createOpenAI({

    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    apiKey: "xx",

    headers: createHeaders({

        apiKey: {PORTKEY_API_KEY},

        virtualKey: {GEMINI_VIRTUAL_KEY},

        metadata: {

          _user: 'john doe',

          organization_name: 'acme',

          custom_key: 'custom_value'

        }

    }),

})
```

## Guide: Handle OpenAI Failures

### 1. Solve 5xx, 4xx Errors

Portkey helps you automatically trigger a call to any other LLM/provider in case of primary failures.[Create](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/configs) a fallback logic with Portkey’s Gateway Config.

For example, for setting up a fallback from OpenAI to Anthropic, the Gateway Config would be:

```sh theme={"system"}
{

  "strategy": { "mode": "fallback" },

  "targets": [{ "virtual_key": "openai-virtual-key" }, { "virtual_key": "anthropic-virtual-key" }]

}
```

You can save this Config in Portkey app and get an associated Config ID that you can pass while instantiating your LLM client:

### 2. Apply Config to the Route Handler

```sh theme={"system"}
const client = createOpenAI({

    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    apiKey: "xx",

    headers: createHeaders({

        apiKey: {PORTKEY_API_KEY},

        config: {CONFIG_ID}

    }),

})
```

### 3. Handle Rate Limit Errors

You can loadbalance your requests against multiple LLMs or accounts and prevent any one account from hitting rate limit thresholds.

For example, to route your requests between 1 OpenAI and 2 Azure OpenAI accounts:

```sh theme={"system"}
{

  "strategy": { "mode": "loadbalance" },

  "targets": [

    { "virtual_key": "openai-virtual-key", "weight": 1 },

    { "virtual_key": "azure-virtual-key-1", "weight": 1 },

    { "virtual_key": "azure-virtual-key-2", "weight": 1 }

  ]

}
```

Save this Config in the Portkey app and pass it while instantiating the LLM Client, just like we did above.

Portkey can also trigger [automatic retries](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/automatic-retries), set [request timeouts](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/request-timeouts), and more.

## Guide: Cache Semantically Similar Requests

Portkey can save LLM costs & reduce latencies 20x by storing responses for semantically similar queries and serving them from cache.

For Q\&A use cases, cache hit rates go as high as 50%. To enable semantic caching, just set the `cache` `mode` to `semantic` in your Gateway Config:

```sh theme={"system"}
{

  "cache": { "mode": "semantic" }

}
```

Same as above, you can save your cache Config in the Portkey app, and reference the Config ID while instantiating the LLM Client.

Moreover, you can set the `max-age` of the cache and force refresh a cache. See the [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/cache-simple-and-semantic) for more information.

## Guide: Manage Prompts Separately

Storing prompt templates and instructions in code is messy. Using Portkey, you can create and manage all of your app’s prompts in a single place and directly hit our prompts API to get responses. Here’s more on [what Prompts on Portkey can do](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/prompt-library).

To create a Prompt Template,

1. From the Dashboard, Open **Prompts**
2. In the **Prompts** page, Click **Create**
3. Add your instructions, variables, and You can modify model parameters and click **Save**

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Trigger the Prompt in the Route Handler

```sh theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"

})

export async function POST(req: Request) {

  const { movie } = await req.json();

  const moviePromptRender = await portkey.prompts.render({

        promptID: "PROMPT_ID",

        variables: { "movie": movie }

    })

  const messages = moviePromptRender.data.messages

  const response = await streamText({

    model: client('gemini-1.5-flash'),

    messages

  })

  return response.toTextStreamResponse();

}
```

See [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/prompts/prompt-completion) for more information.

# Build a chatbot using Portkey's Prompt Templates
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/prompts/build-a-chatbot-using-portkeys-prompt-templates

Portkey's prompt templates offer a powerful solution for testing and building chatbots.

Building production-grade chatbots comes with its share of challenges. From managing conversation context and engineering prompts to ensuring consistent responses across different scenarios – the development process can quickly become complex. Add in the need for version control, testing different configurations, and maintaining production stability, and you've got quite a puzzle to solve.
This is where Portkey's prompt templates come in. More than just a development tool, Portkey provides a complete ecosystem for building, testing, and deploying chatbots with confidence. You'll be able to:

* Experiment with different prompt configurations while maintaining version control
* Test your chatbot's responses in real-time with an interactive playground
* Portkey's robust **versioning system** ensures that you can experiment freely with your prompts, allowing for easy rollback.
* Experiment with different models and configurations to find the best fit for your use case

In this guide, we'll walk through the process of building a production-ready chatbot using Portkey's prompt templates. Whether you're creating a customer service bot, a knowledge assistant, or any other conversational AI application, you'll learn how to leverage Portkey's features to build a robust solution that scales.
Here's the link to the collab notebook of the chatbot-

[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1BZGkDisia%5FbeCibB3eaep0n87cIcqShR?usp=sharing)

## Setting Up Your Chatbot

Go to [Portkey's Prompts dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/prompts). Click on the **Create** button. You are now on Prompt Playground.

### Step 1: Define Your System Prompt

Start by defining your system prompt. This sets the initial context and behavior for your chatbot. You can set this up in your Portkey's Prompt Library using the **JSON View**

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

```js theme={"system"}
[
  {
    "content": "You're a helpful assistant.",
    "role": "system"
  },
  {{chat_history}}
]
```

### Step 2: Create a Variable to Store Conversation History

In the Portkey UI, set the variable type: Look for two icons next to the variable name: "T" and "\{..}". Click the "\{...}" icon to switch to **JSON** **mode**.

**Initialize the variable:** This array will store the conversation history, allowing your chatbot to maintain context. We can just initialize the variable with `[]`.

<Note>
  As your chatbot interacts with users, it will append new messages to this array, building a comprehensive conversation history.
</Note>

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Step 3: Implementing the Chatbot

Use Portkey's API to generate responses based on your prompt template. Here's a Python example::

```js theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey
client = Portkey(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"  # You can also set this as an environment variable
)

def generate_response(conversation_history):
    prompt_completion = client.prompts.completions.create(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",  # Replace with your actual prompt ID
        variables={
            "variable": conversation_history
        }
    )

    return prompt_completion.choices[0].message.content

# Example usage

conversation_history = [
    {
        "content": "Hello, how can I assist you today?",
        "role": "assistant"
    },
    {
        "content": "What's the weather like?",
        "role": "user"
    }
]

response = generate_response(conversation_history)

print(response)
```

### Step 4: Append the Response

After generating a response, append it to your conversation history:

```js theme={"system"}
def append_response(conversation_history, response):

    conversation_history.append({

        "content": response,

        "role": "assistant"

    })

    return conversation_history

# Continuing from the previous example

conversation_history = append_response(conversation_history, response)
```

### Step 5: Take User Input to Continue the Conversation

Implement a loop to continuously take user input and generate responses:

```python theme={"system"}
# Continue the conversation
while True:
    user_input = input("You: ")
    if user_input.lower() == 'exit':
        break

    conversation_history.append({
        "content": user_input,
        "role": "user"
    })

    response = generate_response(conversation_history)
    conversation_history = append_response(conversation_history, response)

    print("Bot:", response)
print("Conversation ended.")
```

### Complete Example

Here's a complete example that puts all these steps together:

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

client = Portkey(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)

def generate_response(conversation_history):
    prompt_completion = client.prompts.completions.create(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
        variables={
            "variable": conversation_history
        }
    )

    return prompt_completion.choices[0].message.content

def append_response(conversation_history, response):
    conversation_history.append({
        "content": response,
        "role": "assistant"
    })

    return conversation_history

# Initial conversation

conversation_history = [
    {
        "content": "Hello, how can I assist you today?",
        "role": "assistant"
    }
]

# Generate and append response

response = generate_response(conversation_history)

conversation_history = append_response(conversation_history, response)

print("Bot:", response)

# Continue the conversation

while True:
    user_input = input("You: ")
    if user_input.lower() == 'exit':
        break

    conversation_history.append({
        "content": user_input,
        "role": "user"
    })

    response = generate_response(conversation_history)
    conversation_history = append_response(conversation_history, response)

    print("Bot:", response)

print("Conversation ended.")
```

## Conclusion

Voilà! You've successfully set up your chatbot using Portkey's prompt templates. Portkey enables you to experiment with various LLM providers. It acts as a definitive source of truth for your team, and it versions each snapshot of model parameters, allowing for easy rollback. Here's a snapshot of the Prompt Management UI.

# Optimizing Prompts for Customer Support using Portkey | LLama Prompt Ops Integration
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/prompts/llama-prompts



Llama Prompt Ops is a Python package that automatically optimizes prompts for Llama models. It transforms prompts that work well with other LLMs into prompts that are optimized for Llama models, improving performance and reliability.

This guide shows you how to combine Llama Prompt Ops with Portkey to optimize prompts for Llama models using enterprise-grade LLM infrastructure. You'll build a system that analyzes support messages to extract urgency, sentiment, and relevant service categories.

<Card href="https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-prompt-ops" icon="link">
  Learn More about Llama Prompt Ops on it's Official Github
</Card>

You can explore the complete dataset and prompt in the use-cases/facility-support-analyzer directory, which contains the sample data and system prompts used in this guide. By using Portkey, you'll gain access to:

* **1600+ LLM models** through a unified API interface
* **Enterprise-grade controls** for production deployments
* **Comprehensive observability** with 40+ key metrics and request logs
* **Governance features** including spend tracking and budget limits
* **Security guardrails** like PII detection and content filtering

Portkey provides a drop-in replacement for LLM providers in the llama-prompt-ops workflow, requiring minimal configuration changes.

### Understanding the Facility Support Analyzer

Before diving into the installation, let's take a closer look at the components of this use case. You can find all the relevant files in the [use-cases/facility-support-analyzer](https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-prompt-ops/blob/main/use-cases/facility-support-analyzer) directory:

* `facility_prompt_sys.txt` - System prompt for the task
* `facility_v2_test.json`- Dataset with customer service messages
* `facility-simple.yaml` - Simple configuration file
* `eval.ipynb`- Evaluation notebook

### Existing System Prompt

The system prompt instructs the LLM to analyze customer service messages and extract structured information in JSON format:

````
You are a helpful assistant. Extract and return a json with the following keys and values:
- "urgency" as one of `high`, `medium`, `low`
- "sentiment" as one of `negative`, `neutral`, `positive`
- "categories" Create a dictionary with categories as keys and boolean values (True/False), where the value indicates whether the category is one of the best matching support category tags from: `emergency_repair_services`, `routine_maintenance_requests`, `quality_and_safety_concerns`, `specialized_cleaning_services`, `general_inquiries`, `sustainability_and_environmental_practices`, `training_and_support_requests`, `cleaning_services_scheduling`, `customer_feedback_and_complaints`, `facility_management_issues`
Your complete message should be a valid json string that can be read directly and only contain the keys mentioned in the list above. Never enclose it in ```json...```, no newlines, no unnessacary whitespaces.
````

### Dataset Format

The dataset consists of customer service messages in JSON format. Each entry contains:

1. An input field with the customer's message (typically an email or support ticket)
2. An answer field with the expected JSON output containing urgency, sentiment, and categories

Example entry:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "fields": {
    "input": "Subject: Urgent HVAC Repair Needed\n\nHi ProCare Support Team,\n\nI'm reaching out with an urgent issue that needs immediate attention. Our HVAC system has been acting up for the past two days, and it's starting to affect the comfort of our living space. I've tried resetting the system and checking the filters, but nothing seems to work.\n\nCould you please send someone over as soon as possible?\n\nThank you,\n[Sender]"
  },
  "answer": "{\"categories\": {\"routine_maintenance_requests\": false, \"customer_feedback_and_complaints\": false, \"training_and_support_requests\": false, \"quality_and_safety_concerns\": false, \"sustainability_and_environmental_practices\": false, \"cleaning_services_scheduling\": false, \"specialized_cleaning_services\": false, \"emergency_repair_services\": true, \"facility_management_issues\": false, \"general_inquiries\": false}, \"sentiment\": \"positive\", \"urgency\": \"high\"}"
}
```

### Metric Calculation

The FacilityMetric evaluates the model's outputs by comparing them to the ground truth answers. It checks:

1. **Urgency Classification**: Accuracy in determining if a request is high, medium, or low priority
2. **Sentiment Analysis**: Accuracy in classifying the customer's tone as positive, neutral, or negative
3. **Category Tagging**: Precision and recall in identifying the correct service categories

The metric parses both the predicted and ground truth JSON outputs, compares them field by field, and calculates an overall score that reflects how well the model is performing on this task.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* Python 3.10 or later installed
* A Portkey account (sign up at [portkey.ai](https://app.portkey.ai))
* The llama-prompt-ops repository (either installed via pip or cloned from GitHub)

# Step 1: Setting up Portkey

Portkey allows you to use 1600+ LLMs with your llama-prompt-ops setup, with minimal configuration required. Let's set up the core components in Portkey that you'll need for integration.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Virtual Key">
    Virtual Keys are Portkey's secure way to manage your LLM provider API keys. Think of them like disposable credit cards for your LLM API keys, providing essential controls like:

    * Budget limits for API usage
    * Rate limiting capabilities
    * Secure API key storage

    To create a virtual key:
    Go to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in the Portkey App. Save and copy the virtual key ID

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      Save your virtual key ID - you'll need it for the next step.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Default Config">
    Configs in Portkey are JSON objects that define how your requests are routed. They help with implementing features like advanced routing, fallbacks, and retries.

    We need to create a default config to route our requests to the virtual key created in Step 1.

    To create your config:

    1. Go to [Configs](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new config with:
       ```json theme={"system"}
       {
           "virtual_key": "YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY_FROM_STEP1",
          	"override_params": {
             "model": "gpt-4o" // Your preferred model name
           }
       }

       ```
    3. Save and note the Config name for the next step

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      This basic config connects to your virtual key. You can add more advanced portkey features later.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Portkey API Key">
    Now create Portkey API key access point and attach the config you created in Step 2:

    1. Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) in Portkey and Create new API key
    2. Select your config from `Step 2`
    3. Generate and save your API key

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      Save your API key securely - you'll need it for llama-prompt-ops integration.
    </Note>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Step 2: Configure llama-prompt-ops to Use Portkey

With Portkey set up, we now need to configure llama-prompt-ops to use Portkey instead of OpenRouter.

### 2.1 Create Your Project

If you haven't already, create a sample project:

```bash theme={"system"}
# Install llama-prompt-ops if you haven't already
pip install llama-prompt-ops

# Create a sample project
llama-prompt-ops create my-project
cd my-project
```

### 2.2 Update the `.env` File

Replace the OpenRouter API key with your Portkey API key:

```bash theme={"system"}
# Replace the existing API key line with:
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_portkey_api_key_here
```

### 2.3 Update the Configuration File

Modify your `config.yaml` file to use Portkey instead of OpenRouter:

```yaml theme={"system"}
system_prompt:
  file: prompts/prompt.txt
  inputs:
  - question
  outputs:
  - answer
dataset:
  path: data/dataset.json
  input_field:
  - fields
  - input
  golden_output_field: answer
metric:
  class: llama_prompt_ops.core.metrics.FacilityMetric
  strict_json: false
  output_field: answer
optimization:
  strategy: llama
model:
  name: openai/openai/gpt-4o  # The model you want to use
  api_base: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"  # Portkey API endpoint
  temperature: 0.0
  max_tokens: 300
  task_model: openai/openai/gpt-4o  # For task model
  proposer_model: openai/openai/gpt-4o  # For proposer model
```

**Important Notes:**

1. The `name` parameter can be set to `openai/openai/gpt-4o` or any other model identifier, but the actual model selection is handled by your Portkey config.
2. Make sure to set `api_base` to `"https://api.portkey.ai/v1"`.
3. If you're using task\_model and proposer\_model, update those as well.

## Step 3: Run Optimization with Portkey

Now you're ready to run llama-prompt-ops with Portkey:

```bash theme={"system"}
llama-prompt-ops migrate
```

The tool will run the optimization process using your Portkey configuration, which will:

1. Connect to Portkey's API
2. Use the model specified in your Portkey config
3. Log all requests and metrics in your Portkey dashboard

## Example Output

The optimized prompt will be saved in the `results/` directory with a filename like `facility-simple_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.yaml`. When you open this file, you'll see something like this:

```yaml theme={"system"}
system: |-
Analyze the customer's message and determine the level of urgency, sentiment, and relevant categories. Extract and return a json with the keys "urgency", "sentiment", and "categories". The "urgency" key should have a value of "high", "medium", or "low", the "sentiment" key should have a value of "negative", "neutral", or "positive", and the "categories" key should have a dictionary with categories as keys and boolean values indicating whether the category is a best matching support category tag. The categories should include "emergency_repair_services", "routine_maintenance_requests", "quality_and_safety_concerns", "specialized_cleaning_services", "general_inquiries", "sustainability_and_environmental_practices", "training_and_support_requests", "cleaning_services_scheduling", "customer_feedback_and_complaints", and "facility_management_issues".

  Few-shot examples:

# Building an LLM-as-a-Judge System for AI (Customer Support) Agent
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/prompts/llm-as-a-judge



> Before reading this guide: We recommend checking out [Hamel Husain's excellent post on LLM-as-a-Judge](https://hamel.dev/blog/posts/llm-judge/). This cookbook implements the principles discussed in Hamel's post, providing a practical walkthrough of building LLM-as-a-judge evaluation .

## Introduction

AI-powered customer support agents are great, but how do you ensure they provide high-quality responses at scale?

You need a system that can automatically evaluate customer support interactions by analyzing both the customer's query and the AI agent's response. This system should determine whether the response meets quality standards, provide a detailed critique explaining the reasoning behind the judgment, and scale easily to run tests on thousands of interactions.

Quality assurance for customer support interactions is critical but increasingly challenging as AI Agents handle more customer conversations. Manual reviews are great but they don't scale.

The "LLM-as-a-Judge" approach offers a powerful solution to this challenge. This guide will show you how to build an automated evaluation system that scales to thousands of interactions. By the end, you'll have a robust workflow that helps you improve AI agents responses.

## What We're Building

We'll create an LLM as a judge workflow that evaluates customer support interactions by analyzing both the customer's query and the AI agent's response. For each interaction, our system will:

1. Determine whether the response meets quality standards (pass/fail)
2. Provide a detailed critique explaining the reasoning behind the judgment
3. Scale easily to run tests on thousands of interactions

**Use Case Example**:

Imagine you're building a customer support AI agent. Your challenges include:

* Ensuring consistent quality across all AI responses
* Identifying patterns of problematic responses
* Maintaining security and compliance standards
* Quickly detecting when the AI is providing incorrect information

With an LLM-as-a-Judge system, you can:

* Get specific feedback on why responses fail to meet standards
* Identify trends and systematic issues in your support system
* Provide targeted training and improvements based on detailed critiques
* Quickly validate whether changes to your AI agent have improved response quality

## System Architecture: How It Works

    D -->|Needs Improvement| F[Improve Agent]
    F --> G[Re-evaluate with LLM-as-a-Judge]
```

**Industry Best Practices for AI Agent Evaluation**

Before diving into implementation, let's briefly look at evaluation approaches for customer support AI:

* **Human Evaluation**: The gold standard, but doesn't scale
* **Offline Benchmarking**: Testing against curated datasets with known answers
* **Online Evaluation**: Monitoring live interactions and collecting user feedback
* **Multi-dimensional Scoring**: Evaluating across different attributes (accuracy, helpfulness, tone)
* **LLM-as-a-Judge**: Using a powerful model to simulate expert human judgment

This cookbook focuses on building a robust LLM-as-a-Judge system that balances accuracy with scalability, allowing you to evaluate thousands of customer interactions automatically.

## Working with [Portkey's Prompt Studio](/product/prompt-engineering-studio)

We will be using [Prompt Studio](/product/prompt-engineering-studio) in this cookbook. Unlike traditional approaches where prompts are written directly in code, Portkey allows you to:

* Create and manage prompts through an intuitive UI
* Version control your prompts
* Access prompts via simple API calls
* Deploy prompts to different environments

We use Mustache templating `{{variable}}` in our prompts, which allows for dynamic content insertion. This makes our prompts more flexible and reusable.

**What are Prompt Partials?**

Prompt partials are reusable components in Portkey that let you modularize parts of your prompts. Think of them like building blocks that can be combined to create complex prompts. In this guide, we'll create several partials (company info, guidelines, examples) and then combine them in a main prompt.

To follow this guide, you will need to create prompt partials first, then create the main template in the Portkey UI, and finally access them using the prompt\_id inside your codebase.

## Step-by-Step Guide to Building LLM-as-a-Judge

**The Judge Prompt Structure**
To build an effective LLM judge, we need to create a well-structured prompt that gives the model all the context it needs to make accurate evaluations. Our judge prompt will consist of four main components:

* Company Information - Details about your company, products, and support policies that help the judge understand the context of customer interactions
* Evaluation Guidelines - Specific criteria for what makes a good or bad response in your customer support context
* Golden Examples - Sample evaluations that demonstrate how to apply the guidelines to real iteractions
* Main Judge Template - This brings everything together and creates the Judgement System

#### Step 1: Define Your Company Information in a Partial

First, we'll create a partial that provides context about your company, products, and support policies. This helps the judge evaluate responses in the proper context.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Here's an example of what your company info partial might look like:

<Accordion title="Company Info Prompt Partial">
  TechConnect Electronics is a consumer electronics retailer founded in 2016 that sells smartphones, computers, audio equipment, and smart home devices through its website and 42 physical stores. The company offers a 30-day return policy on most items (15 days for opened software and select accessories), free shipping on orders over \$50, and a 24/7 customer support team available via chat, email, and phone. TechConnect distinguishes itself with its "TechConnect Plus" membership program offering extended warranties and exclusive discounts, as well as its "Tech Support Plus" service providing personalized setup assistance and troubleshooting.
</Accordion>

This partial gives the judge important context about your products, return policy, shipping policies, support channels, and special programs. Customize this to match your own company's specifics.

After creating this partial in Portkey, you'll get a partial ID (e.g., `pl-llm-as-0badba`) that you'll reference in your main prompt template.

#### Step 2: Define the Evaluation Guidelines Partial

Next, create a partial that defines the criteria for evaluating responses. This ensures consistent quality standards.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Here's an example of evaluation guidelines:

<Accordion title="Judge Guidelines Partial Prompt">
  When evaluating AI chatbot responses, first assess whether the response directly answers the customer's specific question with accurate and complete information. Check if the response verifies necessary customer details (like order eligibility or account status) when appropriate. Look for clarity of instructions, proactive offering of relevant next steps, and appropriate tone/empathy for the situation. Good responses address the specific query with complete information and clear next steps, while bad responses provide generic information, miss verification opportunities, lack critical details, or fail to acknowledge customer emotions. Your critique should be concise (2-4 sentences) and include a clear "good" or "bad" outcome assessment.
</Accordion>

These guidelines define your primary evaluation criteria, secondary considerations, what constitutes good vs. bad responses, and format requirements for critiques. You can adjust these based on what matters most for your specific customer support context.

After creating this partial, you'll receive another partial ID (e.g., `pl-llm-as-1e1952`) to reference in your main template.

#### Step 3: Create Golden Examples Partial

Now create a partial with example evaluations. These examples "teach" the LLM what good and bad responses look like in your specific context.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Here's what your examples partial might look like:

<Accordion title="Golden Example Partial Prompt">
  ```
  <example-1>
  <nlq>Where is my order #45789?</nlq>
  <query>
  Your order #45789 is currently in transit. According to our tracking information, it was shipped yesterday and is expected to arrive at your address by Thursday, March 27th. You can track it in real-time using the tracking number KJ853720164US on our website or mobile app.
  </query>
  <critique>
  {
    "critique": "The response directly addresses the customer's question by providing the current status of the specific order number mentioned. It includes helpful details like the shipping date, expected delivery date, and tracking information the customer can use. This is a complete and informative response.",
    "outcome": "good"
  }
  </critique>
  </example-1>

  <example-2>
  <nlq>How do I return these broken headphones?</nlq>
  <query>
  I'm sorry to hear about your broken headphones. To return them, you'll need to go to your order history, select the order containing the headphones, and click "Return Item." Follow the on-screen instructions to print a return label. Pack the headphones in their original packaging if possible, attach the label, and drop it off at any postal service location.
  </query>
  <critique>
  {
    "critique": "While the response explains the general return process, it fails to verify if the customer's purchase is still within the return window or ask for the order number to confirm eligibility. Without this verification, the instructions might not apply to this specific situation, potentially causing customer frustration.",
    "outcome": "bad"
  }
  </critique>
  </example-2>

  <example-3>
  <nlq>Do you have the new iPhone 16 in stock?</nlq>
  <query>
  Yes, we currently have the iPhone 16 in stock in all colors. The 128GB, 256GB and 512GB storage options are available for immediate shipping. However, the 1TB version is currently on backorder with an expected 2-week waiting period. Would you like me to check availability at stores near your location?
  </query>
  <critique>
  {
    "critique": "The response clearly addresses the stock status of the iPhone 16 with detailed information about different storage options and their availability. The agent proactively offers to check local store inventory, which adds value beyond just answering the immediate question. The information is specific and actionable.",
    "outcome": "good"
  }
  </critique>
  </example-3>

  <example-4>
  <nlq>Can I cancel my subscription?</nlq>
  <query>
  You can cancel your subscription at any time. Simply log into your account, go to "Subscription Settings" and click the "Cancel Subscription" button. Your benefits will continue until the end of your current billing cycle.
  </query>
  <critique>
  {
    "critique": "The response provides clear instructions on how to cancel a subscription but doesn't acknowledge potential consequences like loss of data or saved preferences, nor does it offer alternatives like pausing or downgrading. It also doesn't express any interest in retaining the customer or understanding their reason for cancellation.",
    "outcome": "bad"
  }
  </critique>
  </example-4>
  ```
</Accordion>

When creating your examples:

* Include diverse scenarios covering different types of customer questions
* Show the reasoning process by explaining why an answer is good or bad
* Include both good and bad examples
* Match your actual use cases with examples that reflect your real customer interactions
* Be consistent with the format structure

After creating this partial, you'll receive another partial ID (e.g., `pl-exampl-55b6e3`) to reference in your main template.

#### Step 4: Create the Main Judge Prompt Template

Now that you have all the partials, it's time to create the main judge prompt template that brings everything together.
We will reference the partials we created earlier to provide context, guidelines, and examples to the judge using mustache variables.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Here's what your main prompt template should look like:

<Accordion title="Main LLM as a Judge Prompt">
  ##### System

  ```
  You are a Customer Service query evaluator
  ```

  ##### User

  ```
  You are a Customer Service query evaluator with advanced capabilities to judge if a query is good or not.
  You understand the nuances of customer service including what is likely to be the most useful customer service executive.

  Here is information about the customer service in X company:
  {{customer_service_info}}

  Here are some guidelines for evaluating queries:
  {{guidelines}}

  Example evaluations:
  <examples>
   {{>pl-exampl-55b6e3}}
  </examples>

  For the following query, first write a detailed critique explaining your reasoning,
  then provide a pass/fail judgment in the same format as above.

  <nlq>{{user_input}}</nlq>
  <query>
  {{generated_query}}
  </query>
  <critique>
  ```
</Accordion>

<Note>
  Some LLMs don't support strcutured output generation. In those cases you should use LLMs function calling ability to generate JSON output.
</Note>

<Accordion title="Tool Calling Supported LLM">
  If your LLM does not support Structure Outputs, you will have to add this tool in your prompt template along with the prompt above.

  Choose `Tool Choice` = `Required` in your prompt template.

  ```
  {
    "type": "function",
    "function": {
      "name": "evaluation",
      "parameters": {
        "type": "object",
        "required": [
          "critique",
          "outcome"
        ],
        "properties": {
          "outcome": {
            "enum": [
              "good",
              "bad"
            ],
            "type": "string",
            "description": "The final judgment: 'good' or 'bad'"
          },
          "critique": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "A detailed critique of the agent's response"
          }
        }
      },
      "description": "this fuuction evaluates the user query and agent ouptut and give a detailed repsone"
    }
  }
  ```
</Accordion>

This template sets the evaluator role, inserts your company information, guidelines, and examples, and provides placeholders for the customer query and agent response. Make sure to select an appropriate model (like OpenAI o1, DeepSeek R1) when creating this template.

Once you've created the main template, you'll get a prompt ID that you'll use in your code to access this prompt.

#### Step 5: Implementing the Evaluation Code with Structured Output

Now that you have your prompt template set up in Portkey, use this Python code to evaluate customer support interactinos. You can use either of the following ways to go ahead with this cookbook, depending upon what your LLM supports:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Structured Output">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    # Initialize Portkey client
    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    )
    def evaluate_interaction(customer_query, agent_response):
        """
        Evaluate a customer support interaction using LLM-as-a-Judge

        # Use response_schema to ensure structured output
        response_schema = {
            "name": "evaluation",
            "schema": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "critique": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "A detailed critique of the agent's response"
                },
                "outcome": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "enum": ["good", "bad"],
                    "description": "The final judgment: 'good' or 'bad'"
                }
            },
            "required": ["critique", "outcome"]
            }
        }

        # Call Portkey's prompt API with response_schema
        response = portkey.prompts.completions.create(
            prompt_id="pp-llm-judge-62a41d",  # Replace with your actual prompt ID for LLM as a Judge

        )

        # Extract structured response and log feedback to Portkey
        result = response.choices[0].message.content


        import json

        # Parse the JSON string into a dictionary
        result_dict = json.loads(result)

        trace = response.get_headers()['trace-id']
        print(result_dict["outcome"])

        # Now you can access the dictionary with keys

            value=1 if result_dict["outcome"] == "good" else 0,  # Now this will work
        )


        return result

    # Example usage
    customer_query = "I've been waiting for my refund for over two weeks now. When will I receive it?"
    agent_response = "Refunds typically take 7-10 business days to process. Let me check the status of your refund and get back to you."

    evaluation = evaluate_interaction(customer_query, agent_response)

While the agent offers to check the status, they don't acknowledge the customer's obvious frustration with the delay, missing an opportunity for empathy. There's also no clear explanation of when the agent will 'get back' with the information, leaving the timeline ambiguous.",
    "outcome": "bad"
  }
  ```
</Accordion>

#### Step 6: Iterate with Domain Experts

The most important part of building an effective LLM-as-a-Judge is iterating on your prompt with feedback from domain experts:

1. Create a small test dataset with 20-30 representative customer support interactions
2. Have human experts evaluate these interactions using the same criteria
3. Compare the LLM judge results with human expert evaluations
4. Calculate agreement rate and identify patterns in disagreements
5. Update your prompt based on what you learn

Focus especially on adding examples that cover edge cases where the judge disagreed with experts, clarifying evaluation criteria, and adjusting the weight given to different factors based on business priorities.

## Portkey Observability for Continuous Improvement

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

One of Portkey's key advantages is its built-in observability. Each evaluation generates detailed traces showing execution time and token usage, input and output logs for debugging, and performance metrics across evaluations.

This visibility helps you identify performance bottlenecks, track costs as you scale, debug problematic evaluations, and compare different judge prompt versions.

## Visualizing Evaluation Results on the Portkey Dashboard

The feedback data we collect using the `portkey.feedback.create()` method automatically appears in the Portkey dashboard, allowing you to:

1. Track evaluation outcomes over time
2. Identify specific areas where your agent consistently struggles
3. Measure improvement after making changes to your AI agent
4. Share results with stakeholders through customizable reports

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

The dashboard gives you a bird's-eye view of your evaluation metrics, making it easy to spot trends and areas for improvement.

  print(f"Overall pass rate: {pass_rate:.2f}%")
  ```
</Accordion>

This code runs your evaluator on an entire dataset, collects the results, and calculates an overall pass rate.

## Next Steps

After implementing your LLM-as-a-Judge system, here are key ways to leverage it:

1. **Analyze quality trends**: Track pass rates over time to measure improvement
2. **Identify systematic issues**: Look for patterns in failing responses to address root causes
3. **Improve your support AI**: Use the detailed critiques to refine your support system

## Conclusion

An LLM-as-a-Judge system transforms how you approach customer support quality assurance. Rather than sampling a tiny fraction of interactions or relying on vague metrics, you can evaluate every interaction with consistency and depth. The detailed critiques provide actionable insights that drive continuous improvement in your customer support AI.

By implementing this approach with Portkey, you create a scalable quality assurance system that grows with your support operations while maintaining the high standards your customers expect.

Our system combines three specialized AI models:

1. **Orchestrator (Claude 3.7)**: Generates research queries, drafts emails, and refines based on feedback
2. **Researcher (Perplexity)**: Gathers real-time web information about prospects and companies
3. **Evaluator (OpenAI)**: Reviews email quality, providing scores and improvement suggestions

This architecture delivers superior results because:

* Each model handles tasks it excels at
* The system includes built-in quality control
* Cost efficiency through right-sized models and targeted research

## Creating the Prompt Templates

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Orchestrator Template">
    ### What You'll Create

    The Orchestrator template handles three different roles depending on which "mode" is activated:

    1. **Research Query Generator**: Creates targeted questions for the researcher
    2. **Email Drafter**: Uses research findings to write personalized outreach
    3. **Email Refiner**: Incorporates evaluator feedback to improve the email

    ### Variables You'll Need

    | Variable                     | Purpose                          | Example                                                  |
    | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
    | `our_offering`               | Your product/service description | "Umbrella Corp offers 'Uber for personal protection'..." |
    | `company_name`               | Prospect's company               | "YMU Talent Agency"                                      |
    | `company_industry`           | Industry sector                  | "Elite Talent Management"                                |
    | `target_person_name`         | Contact name                     | "John Wick"                                              |
    | `target_person_designation`  | Contact's role                   | "Event Organizer"                                        |
    | `requirement_gathering_mode` | Activates research query mode    | "TRUE" or "" (empty)                                     |
    | `research_mode`              | Activates email drafting mode    | "TRUE" or "" (empty)                                     |
    | `evaluator_mode`             | Activates email refinement mode  | "TRUE" or "" (empty)                                     |
    | `researcher_output`          | Data from the researcher         | (JSON response from research)                            |
    | `evaluator_output`           | Feedback from evaluator          | (JSON with score and comments)                           |

    ### Step-by-Step Setup

    1. **Create template** in [prompt.new](https://prompt.new/) with **Claude 3.7 Sonnet**

    <video />

    2. **Add core partials**:

    Let's create reusable components that define our SDR's core instructions and persona. These are added as **Prompt Partials** - reusable blocks that can be inserted in any template.

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Core Agent Instructions Partial">
        You are the ultimate sales representative from Umbrella Corporation. Your job is to:

        1. Understand the company and target person
        2. Write research queries to learn more about them
        3. Use research findings to write the ultimate opener email
        4. Send to evaluator for improvements
        5. Write final email based on feedback
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="SDR Persona Partial">
        Your name is Ilya:

        * You acutely understand the exact requirements your target person and their company has
        * You write short, to the point emails that feel like a friend sending a text to you
        * At the same time, you understand the importance of coming across as a thorough professional
        * You have yourself been on both ends - when you needed private security and when you yourself were a private security professional
      </Accordion>
    </AccordionGroup>

    We'll insert both partials into the template's system role like this:

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    3. **Add product offering**:

    Next, we'll add a section that will receive your company's offering details from a variable:

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    We'll send this variable's content at runtime.

    4. **Add Prospect Information Section**:

    Now let's add a section that will receive the prospect information variables:

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    We'll send these values at runtime as well.

    5. **Create Agent-Specific Sections with Conditional Logic**:

    This is where the magic happens! We'll add three "conditional sections" that only appear when a specific mode is activated:

    *A. Research Query Generation Mode:*
    Here, we'll explain how the research query should be generated.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    At this stage, we can send a request to the researcher get the research output back.

    *B. Email Drafting Mode (add this section next):*

    Once we have the research output, we can create the first email, and add the following to a new user role in the prompt template:

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    We'll take this email and send it to the evaluator, which will send back a JSON with two keys: "score" and "comment".

    *C. Email Refinement Mode (add this final section):*

    With the Evaluator's output, we'll now create the final email.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Tip>
      **The Power of Conditional Variables**

      This approach with `{{#variable_name}}` syntax lets you use a single template for three different purposes. When you set `requirement_gathering_mode` to "TRUE", only that section appears. When you set it to empty and instead set `research_mode` to "TRUE", the email drafting section appears instead. This keeps your templates DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).
    </Tip>

    ### Complete Template Overview

    When finished, your template should have:

    1. Core instruction and persona partials at the top
    2. Company offering section
    3. Prospect information section
    4. Three conditional sections for different modes

    This single template will now handle all three stages of the orchestrator's job, activated by different variables in your code.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Researcher Template">
    ### What You'll Create

    The Researcher template powers the real-time web research capabilities of your AI SDR system.

    ### Variables

    | Inputt                         | Description      | Source/Destination         |
    | ------------------------------ | ---------------- | -------------------------- |
    | `requirement_gathering_output` | Research queries | Received from Orchestrator |

    ### Setup Steps

    1. Create a new prompt template with **Perplexity Sonar Pro** as the model

    2. Add researcher instructions:

    Add these system instructions that define the researcher's role:

    <Accordion title="Researcher instructions">
      You are a world-class researcher who, when given key info about a company, its industry, and the target person, helps your handler write the ultimate sales email by gathering the critical insights about them from the internet.

      In scenarios where you do not find much info about the company in question, you also try to extrapolate the key information about this company that helps with writing the ultimate opener email.
    </Accordion>

    Your completed template should look like this:

    <Frame>
      <img alt="Researcher template configuration" />
    </Frame>

    <Accordion title="Researcher output">
      YMU Group is a global talent management agency founded in 1984 and based in London\[1]. It offers full-service talent management, including representation for entertainers, athletes, musicians, and literary figures\[1]. The company works with high-profile clients like Simon Cowell, Graham Norton, Claudia Winkleman, Nicole Scherzinger, Stacey Solomon, and Ant and Dec\[7].

      In 2023, YMU reported a pre-tax loss of £32 million on revenue of £42.4 million\[7]. The company was sold in March 2024 for £60 million to Permira Credit\[7].

      YMU appears to focus on talent representation and career management rather than event organization. The search results don't mention John Wick or provide details about specific events, security practices, or budgets.

      For writing a sales email, you might focus on YMU's role as a major talent agency representing top celebrities. Their need for security services likely relates to protecting high-profile clients rather than large-scale event management. You could highlight how your security offerings could benefit their roster of celebrity talent in various professional and personal settings.

      Without more specific information, it's best to keep the email fairly general, focusing on your company's experience protecting high-profile individuals and how that aligns with YMU's client base. You might also mention your ability to provide flexible, on-demand security staffing to meet the changing needs of busy entertainment professionals.
    </Accordion>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Evaluator Template">
    ### What You'll Create

    The Evaluator template provides quality control for your AI SDR system.

    ### Variables

    | Input          | Description                               | Source/Destination           |
    | -------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
    | `work_history` | Research queries + findings + email draft | Received from previous steps |

    ### Setup Steps

    1. Create a template with **OpenAI o3-mini** as the model

    2. Add evaluator instructions:

    Add these system instructions that define the evaluator's role:

    <Accordion title="Evaluator instructions">
      You are the critical part of an AI SDR agent that helps write opening sales email to a given prospect at a given company. Your key job is look at everything provided to you: The SDR's job to be done, the SDR's persona, the company and the target person in question, the research output, and send back a JSON with two keys: "score" and "comment".

      The actual JSON object will be: `{"score":<integer out of 10>, "comment":"<qualitative feedback about the email given to you>"}`

      Based on your feedback, the agent will rework the email and then send it to the prospect.
    </Accordion>

    Your completed template should look like this:

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Evaluator is like an AI sales manager reviewing drafts before they go out - ensuring consistent quality at scale.

    <Accordion title="Evaluator output">
      ```json theme={"system"}
      {"score": 7, "comment": "The research summary does a good job of contextualizing YMU as a leading talent agency with high-profile clients, emphasizing the need for security services tailored to the protection of celebrities. It provides a solid foundation for a targeted email by suggesting a focus on flexible, on-demand security staffing. However, the information is somewhat generic, lacking specifics that could create a more compelling and personalized pitch. The email would benefit from slightly more emphasis on addressing potential security challenges or pain points unique to managing high-profile talent, even if inferred, to make the value proposition sharper."}

# Build an article suggestion app with Supabase pgvector, and Portkey
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/build-an-article-suggestion-app-with-supabase-pgvector-and-portkey

 Consider that you have list of support articles that you want to suggest it to users when users search for it. You want to suggest as best fit as possible. With the availability of tools like Large Language Model (LLMs) and Vector Databases, the approach towards suggestions & recommendation systems has significantly evolved.

In this article, we will go over and create a simple NodeJS application that stores the *support articles* (only titles, for simplicity) and perform vector similarity search thorough it’s embeddings and return the best article to the user.

A quick disclaimer:

This article is meant to give you a map that can help you get started and navigate the solutions against similar problem statements.

## What makes vector similarity special?

Short answer: Embeddings.

The technique to translate a piece of content into vector representation is called embeddings. They allow you to analyze the semantic content mathematically.

The LLMs are capable of turning our content into vector representation, and embed them into the vector space, where similarity is concluded based on the distance between two embeddings. These embeddings are to be stored on vector databases.

In this article, we will use Supabase and enable pgvector to store vectors.

## Overview of our app

Our app will utilize the Supabase vector database to maintain articles in the form of embeddings. Upon receiving a new query, the database will intelligently recommend the most relevant article.

This is how the process will work:

1. The application will read a text file containing a list of article titles.
2. It will then use OpenAI models through Portkey to convert the content into embeddings.
3. These embeddings will be stored in pgvector, along with a function that enables similarity matching.
4. When a user enters a new query, the application will return the most relevant article based on the similarity match database function.

## Setup

Get going by setting up 3 things for this tutorial — NodeJS project, Portkey and Supabase.

Portkey

1. [Sign up](https://portkey.ai/) and login into Portkey dashboard.
2. your OpenAI API key and add it to [Portkey Vault](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys).

This will give you a unique identifier, virtual key, that you can reference in the code. More on this later on.

Supabase

Head to Supabase to create a *New Project.* Give it a name of your choice. I will label it “*Product Wiki*”. This step will provide access keys, such as the *Project URL* and *API Key*. Save them.

The project is ready!

We want to store embeddings in your database. To enable the database to store embeddings, you must enable *Vector* extension from [*Dashboard > Database > Extensions*](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/extensions).

NodeJS

Navigate into any of your desired directories and run

```sh theme={"system"}
npm init -y
```

See the project files created with `package.json`. Since we want to store the list of articles to database, we have to read them for a file. Create `articles.txt` and copy the following:

```sh theme={"system"}
Update Your Operating System

Resetting Your Password

Maximizing Battery Life

Cleaning Your Keyboard

Protecting Against Malware

Backing Up Your Data

Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Issues

Optimizing Your Workspace

Understanding Cloud Storage

Managing App Permissions
```

Open the `index.js` and you are ready. Let’s start writing code.

## Step 1: Importing and authenticating Portkey and Supabase

Since our app is set to interact with OpenAI (via Portkey) and Supabase pgvector database, let’s import the necessary SDK clients to run operations on them.

```py theme={"system"}
import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js';

import fs from 'fs';

const USER_QUERY = 'How to update my laptop?';

const supabase = createClient('https://rbhjxxxxxxxxxkr.supabase.co', process.env['SUPABASE_PROJECT_API_KEY']);

const portkey = new Portkey({

  apiKey: process.env['PORTKEY_API_KEY'],

  virtualKey: process.env['OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY']

});
```

`fs` to help us read the list of articles from a `articles.txt` file and `USER_QUERY` is the query we will use to do similarity search.

## Step 2: Create a Table

We can use the SQL Editor to execute SQL queries. We will have one table for this project, and let’s call it `support_articles` table. It will store the *title* of the article along with it’s embeddings. Please feel free to add more fields of your choice, such as description or tags.

For simplicity, create a table with columns for `ID`, `content`, and `embedding`.

```sh theme={"system"}
create table

  support_articles (

    id bigint primary key generated always as identity,

    content text,

    embedding vector (1536)

  );
```

Execute the above SQL query in the SQL editor.

You can verify that the table has been created by navigating to Database > Tables > support\_articles. A success message will appear in the Results tab once the execution is successful.

## Step 3: Read, Generate and Store embeddings

We will use the `fs` library to read the `articles.txt` and convert every title on the list into embeddings. With Portkey, generating embeddings is straightforward and same as working with OpenAI SDK and no additional code changes required.

```py theme={"system"}
const response = await portkey.embeddings.create({

  input: String(text),

  model: 'text-embedding-ada-002'

});

return Array.from(response.data[0].embedding);
```

Similarly to store embeddings to Supabase:

```py theme={"system"}
await supabase.from('support_articles').insert({

  content,

  embedding

});
```

To put everything together — reading from the file, generating embeddings, and storing them supabase.

```py theme={"system"}
async function convertToEmbeddings(text) {

  const response = await portkey.embeddings.create({

    input: String(text),

    model: 'text-embedding-ada-002'

  });

  return Array.from(response.data[0].embedding);

}

async function readTitlesFromFile() {

  const titlesPath = './articles.txt';

  const titles = fs

    .readFileSync(titlesPath, 'utf8')

    .split('\n')

    .map((title) => title.trim());

  return titles;

}

async function storeSupportArticles() {

  const titles = await readTitlesFromFile();

  titles.forEach(async function (title) {

    const content = title;

    const embedding = await convertToEmbeddings(content);

    await supabase.from('support_articles').insert({

      content,

      embedding

    });

  });

}
```

That’s it! — All you need to write one line to store all the items to the pgvector database.

`await storeSupportArticles();`

You should now see the rows created from the Table Editor.

## Step 4: Create a database function to query similar match

Next, let’s set up a [database function](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/functions) to do vector similarity search using Supabase. This database function will take *an user query vector* as argument and return us an object with the `id`, `content` and the `similarity` score against the best row and user query in the database.

```py theme={"system"}
create or replace function match_documents (

  query_embedding vector(1536),

  match_threshold float,

  match_count int

)

returns table (

  id bigint,

  content text,

  similarity float

)

language sql stable

as $$

  select

    support_articles.id, -- documents here is the table name

    support_articles.content,

    1 - (support_articles.embedding <=> query_embedding) as similarity -- <=> is cosine similarity search

  from support_articles

  where 1 - (support_articles.embedding <=> query_embedding) > match_threshold

  order by (support_articles.embedding <=> query_embedding) asc

  limit match_count;

$$;
```

Execute it in the SQL Editor similar to the table creation.

Congratulations, now our `support_articles` is now powered to return vector similarity search operations.

No more waiting! Let’s run an search query.

## Step 5: Query for the similarity match

The supabase client can make an remote procedure calls to invoke our vector similarity search function to find the nearest match to the user query.

```py theme={"system"}
async function findNearestMatch(queryEmbedding) {

  const { data } = await supabase.rpc('match_documents', {

    query_embedding: queryEmbedding,

    match_threshold: 0.5,

    match_count: 1

  });

  return data;

}
```

The arguments will match the parameters we declared while creating the database function (in Step 4).

```sh theme={"system"}
const USER_QUERY = 'How to update my laptop?';

// Invoke the following Fn to store embeddings to Supabase

// await storeSupportArticles();

const queryEmbedding = await convertToEmbeddings(USER_QUERY);

let best_match = await findNearestMatch(queryEmbedding);

console.info('The best match is: ', best_match);
```

The console log

```sh theme={"system"}
The best match is:  [

  {

    id: 12,

    content: 'Update Your Operating System',

    similarity: 0.874387819265234

  }

]
```

## Afterthoughts

A single query with the best match for the user query mentioned above took 6 tokens and costed approximately \$0.0001 cents. During the development of this app, I used up 2.4k tokens with a mean latency of 383ms.

You might be wondering how I know all of this? Well, it's all thanks to the Portkey Dashboard.

This information is incredibly valuable, especially when used in real-time production. I encourage you to consider implementing search use cases in your ongoing projects such as recommendations, suggestions, and similar items.

Congratulations on making it this far! You now know how to work with embeddings in development and monitor your app in production.


# Comparing Top10 LMSYS Models with Portkey
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/comparing-top10-lmsys-models-with-portkey



[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1mBr22Ov8xN6Piy6M38Tr5wOYjpmT%5FIoH#scrollTo=pNpHQn6FlCL1)

The [LMSYS Chatbot Arena](https://chat.lmsys.org/?leaderboard), with over **1,000,000** human comparisons, is the gold standard for evaluating LLM performance.

But, testing multiple LLMs is a ***pain***, requiring you to juggle APIs that all work differently, with different authentication and dependencies.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

**Enter Portkey:** A unified, open source API for accessing over 200 LLMs. Portkey makes it a breeze to call the models on the LMSYS leaderboard - no setup required.

***

In this notebook, you'll see how Portkey streamlines LLM evaluation for the **Top 10 LMSYS Models**, giving you valuable insights into cost, performance, and accuracy metrics.

Let's dive in!

***

#### Video Guide

The notebook comes with a video guide that you can follow along

<iframe title="YouTube video player" />

#### Setting up Portkey

To get started, install the necessary packages:

```sh theme={"system"}
!pip install -qU portkey-ai openai
```

Next, sign up for a Portkey API key at [https://app.portkey.ai/](https://app.portkey.ai/). Navigate to "Settings" -> "API Keys" and create an API key with the appropriate scope.

#### Defining the Top 10 LMSYS Models

Let's define the list of Top 10 LMSYS models and their corresponding providers.

```JS theme={"system"}
top_10_models = [

    ["gpt-4o-2024-05-13", "openai"],

    ["gemini-1.5-pro-latest", "google"],

##  ["gemini-advanced-0514","google"],             # This model is not available on a public API

##  ["qwen-max-0428","qwen"]                       # This model is not available outside of China

]
```

#### Add Provider API Keys to Portkey Vault

ALL the providers above are integrated with Portkey - which means, you can add their API keys to Portkey vault and get a corresponding **Virtual Key** and streamline API key management.

| Provider    | Link to get API Key                                              | Payment Mode                             |

```JSON theme={"system"}
## Replace the virtual keys below with your own

virtual_keys = {

    "openai": "openai-new-c99d32",

    "anthropic": "anthropic-key-a0b3d7",

    "google": "google-66c0ed",

    "cohere": "cohere-ab97e4",

    "together": "together-ai-dada4c",

    "reka-ai":"reka-54f5b5",

    "zhipu":"chatglm-ba1096"

}
```

#### Running the Models with Portkey

Now, let's create a function to run the Top 10 LMSYS models using OpenAI SDK with Portkey Gateway:

```js theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI

from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

def run_top10_lmsys_models(prompt):

    outputs = {}

    for model, provider in top_10_models:

        portkey = OpenAI(

            api_key = "dummy_key",

            base_url = PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

            default_headers = createHeaders(

                api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",                 # Grab from https://app.portkey.ai/

                virtual_key = virtual_keys[provider],

                trace_id="COMPARING_LMSYS_MODELS"

            )

        )

        response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

            messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],

            model=model,

            max_tokens=256

        )

        outputs[model] = response.choices[0].message.content

    return outputs
```

#### Comparing Model Outputs

To display the model outputs in a tabular format for easy comparison, we define the print\_model\_outputs function:

```js theme={"system"}
from tabulate import tabulate

def print_model_outputs(prompt):

    outputs = run_top10_lmsys_models(prompt)

    table_data = []

    for model, output in outputs.items():

        table_data.append([model, output.strip()])

    headers = ["Model", "Output"]

    table = tabulate(table_data, headers, tablefmt="grid")

    print(table)

    print()
```

#### Example: Evaluating LLMs for a Specific Task

Let's run the notebook with a specific prompt to showcase the differences in responses from various LLMs:

On Portkey, you will be able to see the logs for all models:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

```js theme={"system"}
prompt = "If 20 shirts take 5 hours to dry, how much time will 100 shirts take to dry?"

print_model_outputs(prompt)
```

#### Conclusion

With minimal setup and code modifications, Portkey enables you to streamline your LLM evaluation process and easily call 1600+ LLMs to find the best model for your specific use case.

Explore Portkey further and integrate it into your own projects. Visit the Portkey documentation at [https://docs.portkey.ai/](https://docs.portkey.ai/) for more information on how to leverage Portkey's capabilities in your workflow.


# Comparing DeepSeek Models Against OpenAI, Anthropic & More Using Portkey
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/deepseek-r1



DeepSeek R1 has emerged as a groundbreaking open-source AI model, challenging proprietary solutions with its MIT-licensed availability and state-of-the-art performance.

It has outperformed the top models by each provider in almost all the major benchmarks. But this is not the first time a new model has broken records. The most interesting part about this model is this model has Open Sourced its code and training weights with a fraction of costs of any other model.

While its Chinese origins initially raised data sovereignty concerns, major cloud providers have rapidly integrated DeepSeek R1, making it globally accessible through compliant channels.

In this guide, we will explore:

* How to access DeepSeek R1 through different providers
* Real-world performance comparisons with top models from each provider
* Implementation patterns for various use cases

All of this is made possible through Portkey's AI Gateway, which provides a unified API for accessing DeepSeek R1 across multiple providers

## Accessing DeepSeek R1 Through Multiple Providers

DeepSeek R1 is available across several major cloud providers, and with Portkey's unified API, the implementation remains consistent regardless of your chosen provider. All you need is the appropriate virtual key for your desired provider.

### Basic Implementation

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

# Initialize Portkey client
client = Portkey(
    api_key="your-portkey-api-key",
    provider="@provider-virtual-key"  # Just change this to switch providers
)

# Make completion call - same code for all providers
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}
    ]
)
```

### Available Providers and Models

#### Together AI

* `DeepSeek-R1`
* `DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B`
* `DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 1.5B`
* `DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 14B`
* `DeepSeek-V3`

#### Groq

* `DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B`

#### Cerebras

* `DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B`

#### Fireworks

* `DeepSeek R1 671B`

#### Azure OpenAI

* `DeepSeek R1 671B`

#### AWS Bedrock

* `DeepSeek R1 671B`

### Accessing DeepSeek Models Across Providers

Portkeu provides a unified API for accessing DeepSeek models across multiple providers. All you need to do start using DeepSeek models is to

1. Get Your API Key from one of the providers mentioned above
2. Get your Portkey API key from [Portkey's Dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai)
3. Create virtual keys in [Portkey's Dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys). Virtual Keys are an alias over your provider API Keys. You can set budgets limits and rate limits for each virtual key.

Here's how you can use Portkey's unified API

```python theme={"system"}
!pip install porteky-ai
```

```python theme={"system"}
client = Portkey(
    api_key="your-portkey-api-key",
    provider="@your-virtual-key--for-chosen-provider"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="your_chosen_model", # e.g. "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1" for together-ai
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}
    ]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

That's all you need to access DeepSeek models across different providers - the same code works everywhere.

## Comparing DeepSeek R1 Against Leading Models

We've created a comprehensive cookbook comparing DeepSeek R1 with OpenAI's o1, o3-mini, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. This cookbook compares deepseek R1 model from `together-ai` with top models form OpenAI and Anthropic. We will be comparing the models on three different types of prompts:

1. Simple Reasoning

```python theme={"system"}
prompt = "How many times does the letter 'r' appear in the word 'strrawberrry'?"
```

2. Numerical Comparison

```python theme={"system"}
prompt2 = """Which number is bigger: 9.111 or 9.9?"""
```

3. Complex Problem Solving

```python theme={"system"}
prompt3 = """In a village of 100 people, each person knows a unique secret. They can only share information one-on-one, and only one exchange can happen per day. What is the minimum number of days needed for everyone to know all secrets? Explain your reasoning step by step."""
```

4. Coding

```python theme={"system"}
prompt4 = """Given an integer N, print N rows of inverted right half pyramid pattern. In inverted right half pattern of N rows, the first row has N number of stars, second row has (N - 1) number of stars and so on till the Nth row which has only 1 star."""
```

Here's the link to the cookbook to follow along as well as results of the comparison.

# Enforcing JSON Schema with Anyscale & Together
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/enforcing-json-schema-with-anyscale-and-together

Get the LLM to adhere to your JSON schema using Anyscale & Together AI's newly introduced JSON modes

LLMs excel at generating creative text, but production applications demand structured outputs for seamless integration. Instructing LLMs to only generate the output in a specified syntax can help make their behaviour a bit more predictable. JSON is the format of choice here - it is versatile enough and is widely used as a standard data exchange format.

Several LLM providers offer features that help enforce JSON outputs:

* OpenAI has a feature called [JSON mode](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-generation/json-mode) that ensures that the output is a valid JSON object.
* While this is great, it doesn't guarantee adherence to your custom JSON schemas, but only that the output IS a JSON.
* Anyscale and Together AI go further - they not only enforce that the output is in JSON but also ensure that the output follows any given JSON schema.

Using Portkey, you can easily experiment with models from Anyscale & Together AI and explore the power of their JSON modes:

        provider="@ANYSCALE_VIRTUAL_KEY" # OR #TOGETHER_VIRTUAL_KEY
    )

    class Recipe(BaseModel):
        title: str
        description: str
        steps: List[str]

    json_response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

### Output JSON:

```JSON theme={"system"}

  "steps": [
    "1. Cook rice and set aside",
    "2. In a large skillet or wok, sauté sliced chicken in oil until browned",
    "3. ..."
  ]
}
```

As you can see - it's pretty simple. Just define the JSON schema, and pass it at the time of making your request using the `response_format` param. The `response_format`'s `type` is `json_object` and the `schema` contains all keys and their expected type.

### Creating Nested JSON Object Schema

Here's an example showing how you can also create nested JSON schema and get the LLM to enforce it:

```py theme={"system"}
class Ingredient(BaseModel):

    name: str

    quantity: str

class Recipe(BaseModel):

    title: str

    description: str

    ingredients: List[Ingredient]

    steps: List[str]


json_response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

    messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Give me a recipe for making Ramen, in JSON format' }],

    model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1",

    response_format={

        "type": "json_object",

        "schema": Recipe.schema_json()

    }

)
```

Add your Anyscale or Together AI virtual keys to Portkey vault, and get started!


# Unified LLM API with Automatic Failover & Error Handling
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/enterprise-ready-unified-api

Build a single API interface with automatic failover and unified error handling across OpenAI, Anthropic, and AWS Bedrock

## What this guide covers

This guide shows engineering teams how to replace multiple LLM integrations with one unified API. You'll learn to implement automatic failover, standardized error handling, and intelligent retry logic without custom code.

## The problem with multiple LLM providers

Engineering teams maintaining separate integrations for each LLM provider face several challenges.

* **Different SDKs create complexity.** Each provider requires its own library, authentication method, and error handling logic. Your codebase becomes fragmented with provider-specific code.

* **Manual retry logic is error-prone.** Teams write custom exponential backoff, track retry counts, and handle edge cases differently for each provider. This inconsistency leads to bugs.

* **Provider outages affect availability.** When OpenAI experiences downtime, your application fails even though Anthropic might be fully operational. There's no automatic failover.

* **Error responses vary wildly.** OpenAI returns 429 for rate limits while Bedrock might return ThrottlingException. Your error handling becomes a maze of conditionals.

## How Portkey solves these problems

Portkey acts as an intelligent gateway between your application and LLM providers.

* **One SDK replaces many.** Use the same client and methods regardless of whether you're calling OpenAI, Anthropic, or Bedrock. The API signature remains consistent.

* **Automatic retries handle transient failures.** Configure retry attempts and Portkey manages exponential backoff automatically. No custom retry loops needed.

* **Instant failover maintains availability.** When one provider fails, requests automatically route to your backup providers in milliseconds. Your application stays online.

* **Standardized errors simplify handling.** All providers return consistent error codes through Portkey's gateway. One error handler works for all providers.

## Quick start: Your first unified request

Let's start with a basic example that demonstrates the unified interface.

### Step 1: Install the Portkey SDK

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Node.js theme={"system"}
  npm install portkey-ai
  ```

  ```bash Python theme={"system"}
  pip install portkey-ai
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Step 2: Set up your AI Provider

Navigate to the Portkey dashboard and add your first AI Provider. This securely stores your API credentials.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to AI Providers">
    Click **AI Providers** in the sidebar, then **Add Provider**

    <Frame>
      <img alt="AI Providers page" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your service">
    Choose OpenAI, Anthropic, or AWS Bedrock from the list

    <Frame>
      <img alt="Select AI service" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add credentials">
    Enter your API key or AWS credentials. Portkey encrypts and stores them securely.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name your provider">
    Give it a memorable slug like `@openai-prod` or `@anthropic-dev`. You'll use this slug in your code.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Card title="AI Provider Setup Guide" icon="key" href="/product/model-catalog/integrations">
  Detailed instructions for setting up providers and managing credentials
</Card>

### Step 3: Make your first request

With your provider configured, make requests using the unified API.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  # Initialize with your Portkey API key
  portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
  )

  # Same interface for any provider
  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="@openai-prod/gpt-4",  # Provider slug + model name
      messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  )

  print(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

  // Initialize with your Portkey API key
  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
  });

  // Same interface for any provider
  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4",  // Provider slug + model name
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }]
  });

  console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Notice the model string format.** Portkey uses `@provider-slug/model-name` to specify both the provider and model. This keeps your code explicit about which provider serves each request.

## Automatic failover between providers

Failover is Portkey's most powerful feature for production applications. Configure multiple providers and Portkey automatically switches between them when failures occur.

### Understanding failover strategy

Failover works through a configuration object that defines your provider hierarchy and trigger conditions.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback",
    "on_status_codes": [429, 500, 502, 503, 504]
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "@openai-prod",
      "override_params": {"model": "gpt-4"}
    },
    {
      "provider": "@anthropic-prod",
      "override_params": {"model": "claude-3-opus-20240229"}
    },
    {
      "provider": "@bedrock-prod",
      "override_params": {"model": "anthropic.claude-3-sonnet"}
    }
  ]
}
```

**The strategy defines behavior.** Set `mode` to "fallback" and specify which status codes trigger failover. Common triggers include rate limits (429) and server errors (500-504).

**Targets execute in order.** Portkey tries OpenAI first. If it fails with a trigger status code, Portkey immediately tries Anthropic. If Anthropic fails, it moves to Bedrock.

**Override params customize each target.** Since different providers use different model names, override\_params lets you specify the correct model for each provider.

### Implementing failover in code

Save your configuration in Portkey's dashboard to get a config ID. Then reference it in your code.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      config="pc-failover-prod"  # Your saved config ID
  )

  # Request automatically fails over between providers
  response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Analyze this quarterly report..."}]
  )

  # You get a successful response regardless of which provider served it
  print(f"Response from: {response.provider}")
  print(response.choices[0].message.content)
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      config: "pc-failover-prod"  // Your saved config ID
  });

  // Request automatically fails over between providers
  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Analyze this quarterly report..." }]
  });

  // You get a successful response regardless of which provider served it
  console.log(`Response from: ${response.provider}`);
  console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Monitoring failover behavior

Portkey's observability dashboard shows exactly what happens during failover. You can see which providers were attempted, why they failed, and which one ultimately succeeded.

**Each attempt appears in the trace.** Failed requests show their status codes and error messages. The successful request shows response time and tokens used.

<Card title="Tracing Guide" icon="route" href="/product/observability/traces">
  Learn how to trace requests across multiple providers
</Card>

## Intelligent retry logic

Retries handle temporary failures without failing over to another provider. Configure automatic retries with exponential backoff.

### Configuring retry behavior

Specify retry attempts and which status codes should trigger retries.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 5,
    "on_status_codes": [429, 500, 502, 503, 504]
  },
  "provider": "@openai-prod"
}
```

**Attempts control persistence.** Set between 1 and 5 attempts based on your latency tolerance. More attempts mean better reliability but potentially longer wait times.

**Status codes determine triggers.** Rate limits (429) and server errors (500-504) are common retry triggers. Client errors (400-404) typically shouldn't trigger retries.

### Exponential backoff timing

Portkey automatically implements exponential backoff between retries. Each retry waits longer than the previous one.

| Retry Attempt | Wait Time  | Cumulative Time |
| ------------- | ---------- | --------------- |
| 1st retry     | 1 second   | 1 second        |
| 2nd retry     | 2 seconds  | 3 seconds       |
| 3rd retry     | 4 seconds  | 7 seconds       |
| 4th retry     | 8 seconds  | 15 seconds      |
| 5th retry     | 16 seconds | 31 seconds      |

**Backoff prevents thundering herd.** By waiting progressively longer, retries avoid overwhelming a recovering service.

### Combining retries with failover

Use both strategies together for maximum reliability. Retry transient failures on the primary provider, then failover if retries exhaust.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback"
  },
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3
  },
  "targets": [
    {"provider": "@openai-prod"},
    {"provider": "@anthropic-prod"}
  ]
}
```

**Each target gets its own retries.** Portkey retries OpenAI up to 3 times. If all fail, it moves to Anthropic and retries there up to 3 times.

## Unified error handling

Handle errors consistently regardless of which provider generated them.

### Standard error codes

All providers return these standardized codes for most errors.

| Code    | Description      | Recommended Action             |
| ------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------ |
| 400     | Bad Request      | Fix request parameters         |
| 401     | Unauthorized     | Check API credentials          |
| 403     | Forbidden        | Verify permissions             |
| 408     | Request Timeout  | Retry with backoff             |
| 412     | Budget Exhausted | Increase budget limits         |
| 429     | Rate Limited     | Retry with backoff or failover |
| 446     | Guardrail Failed | Review content filters         |
| 500-504 | Server Error     | Retry or failover              |

### Implementing error handlers

Write one [config](/product/ai-gateway/configs) handler that works for all providers.

For example, if you want to implement fallback if you get rate limited on one particular Provider. You can simply attach a config on your request like this:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback"
  },
  "on_status_codes":[412],
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "@openai-provider",
    },
    {
      "provider": "@anthripic-provider",
    }
  ]
}
```

You can pass this config in your request like this:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="OpenAI NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    const openai = new OpenAI({
      apiKey: 'OPENAI_API_KEY', // defaults to process.env["OPENAI_API_KEY"],
      baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
      defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
        provider: "openai",
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
        config: "CONFIG_ID" // Fetched from the UI

        default_headers=createHeaders(
            provider="openai",
            api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
            config="CONFIG_ID"
        )
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="cURL">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
      -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      -H "x-portkey-provider: openai" \
      -H "x-portkey-config: $CONFIG_ID" \

            "content": "Hello!"
          }]
      }'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

**One handler for all providers.** This rate limit handler works whether the request went to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Bedrock.

## Streaming responses

Stream responses consistently across all providers. The streaming interface remains the same regardless of backend.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  # Streaming works identically for all providers
  stream = portkey.chat.completions.create(
      model="@openai-prod/gpt-4",
      messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a detailed analysis..."}],
      stream=True
  )

  # Process chunks as they arrive
  for chunk in stream:
      if chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
          print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="", flush=True)
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  // Streaming works identically for all providers
  const stream = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      model: "@openai-prod/gpt-4",
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a detailed analysis..." }],
      stream: true
  });

  // Process chunks as they arrive
  for await (const chunk of stream) {
      if (chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content) {
          process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0].delta.content);
      }
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Streaming reduces perceived latency.** Users see output immediately instead of waiting for the complete response. This improves user experience for long generations.

**Failover works with streaming.** If a stream fails mid-generation, Portkey can failover to another provider and restart the stream automatically.

## Batch processing for scale

Process thousands of requests efficiently using Portkey's unified batch API. This works across providers, even those without native batch support.

### Understanding batch modes

Portkey offers two batch processing modes to fit different needs.

**Provider batch mode uses native endpoints.** When available, Portkey uses the provider's batch API (like OpenAI's batch endpoint). This typically offers discounted pricing but has a 24-hour completion window.

**Portkey batch mode works universally.** For immediate processing or providers without batch support, Portkey manages batching at the gateway level. Requests process in groups of 25 with 5-second intervals.

  Complete documentation for batch inference at scale
</Card>

## Load balancing across keys

Distribute requests across multiple API keys or providers to maximize throughput and avoid rate limits.

### Configuring load distribution

Set weights to control traffic distribution between targets.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "@openai-prod-1",
      "weight": 0.5
    },
    {
      "provider": "@openai-prod-2",
      "weight": 0.3
    },
    {
      "provider": "@anthropic-prod",
      "weight": 0.2
    }
  ]
}
```

**Weights determine probability.** A weight of 0.5 means 50% of requests go to that target. Weights are normalized automatically, so they don't need to sum to 1.0.

**Multiple keys prevent rate limits.** By spreading load across multiple OpenAI keys, you effectively multiply your rate limit. Three keys with 10,000 RPM each give you 30,000 RPM total.

### Dynamic weight adjustment

Adjust weights without changing code by updating the config in Portkey's dashboard.

**Gradually migrate providers.** Start with 90% OpenAI and 10% Anthropic. Gradually shift traffic as you validate the new provider.

**Handle provider issues.** If one provider experiences degraded performance, reduce its weight to minimize impact while maintaining some traffic for monitoring.

## Monitoring and observability

Portkey provides comprehensive observability for all your LLM requests. Monitor performance, costs, and errors across all providers from a single dashboard.

**Track key metrics in real-time.** Monitor request volumes, success rates, latency percentiles, and token usage. Compare performance across providers to optimize routing.

**Analyze costs across providers.** See exactly how much each provider costs and identify optimization opportunities. Set budget alerts to prevent overspending.

**Debug issues with detailed logs.** Every request is logged with complete details including inputs, outputs, tokens, and latency. Filter logs by provider, status, or custom metadata.

## Dynamic configuration updates

Update your routing logic without touching code. Modify configs through Portkey's dashboard and changes apply immediately.

### When to update configs

* **Add new providers.** When you get access to a new model or provider, add it to your fallback chain without deployment.

* **Adjust retry logic.** If you're seeing more transient errors, increase retry attempts. If latency is critical, reduce them.

* **Shift traffic gradually.** Use load balancing to gradually migrate from one provider to another while monitoring performance.

* **Respond to incidents.** If a provider experiences an outage, temporarily remove it from rotation or reduce its weight.

### Config versioning

Portkey maintains version history for all configs. You can rollback to previous versions if issues arise.

**Test changes safely.** Create a new config version and test with a small percentage of traffic before full rollout.

**Audit changes.** Every config change is logged with timestamp and author for compliance and debugging.

## What you've built

By implementing this guide, your engineering team now has:

* **Single API interface.** One SDK and consistent methods for all LLM providers. No more provider-specific code scattered through your application.

* **Automatic failover.** When providers fail, requests seamlessly route to backups. Your application stays online even during provider outages.

* **Unified error handling.** Consistent error codes across all providers. One error handler works everywhere.

* **Intelligent retries.** Automatic exponential backoff for transient failures. No custom retry loops needed.

* **Production observability.** Complete visibility into requests, costs, and performance across all providers.

* **Dynamic configuration.** Update routing logic, add providers, or adjust limits without code changes or deployments.

# Fallback from SDXL to Dall-e-3
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/fallback-from-sdxl-to-dall-e-3

Generative AI models have revolutionized text generation and opened up new possibilities for developers.

What next? A new category of image generation models.

[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/github/Portkey-AI/portkey-cookbook/blob/main/ai-gateway/set-up-fallback-from-stable-diffusion-to-dall-e.ipynb)

## Set up Fallback from Stable Diffusion to Dall-E

This cookbook introduces Portkey’s multimodal AI gateway, which helps you switch between multiple image generation models without any code changes — all with OpenAI SDK. You will learn to set up fallbacks from Stable Diffusion to Dall-E.

### 1. Integrate Image Gen Models with Portkey

Begin by storing API keys in the Portkey Vault.

To save your OpenAI and StabilityAI keys in the Portkey Vault:

1. Go to **portkey.ai**
2. Click **Virtual Keys** and then **Create**
   1. Enter **Name** and **API Key**,
   2. Hit **Create**
3. the virtual key from the **KEY** column

We successfully have set up virtual keys!

For more information, refer the [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys).

The multi-modal AI gateway will use these virtual keys in the future to apply a fallback mechanism to every request from your app.

### 2. Making a call to Stability AI using OpenAI SDK

With Portkey, you can call Stability AI models like SDXL right from inside the OpenAI SDK. Just change the `base_url` to Portkey Gateway and add `defaultHeaders` while instantiating your OpenAI client, and you're good to go

Import the `openai` and `portkey_ai` libraries to send the requests, whereas the rest of the utility libraries will help decode the base64 response and print them onto Jupyter Notebook.

```js theme={"system"}
from IPython.display import display

from PIL import Image

from openai import OpenAI

from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

import requests, io, base64, json
```

```js theme={"system"}
PORTKEY_API_KEY="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY_HERE"

OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY="YOUR_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY_HERE"

CONFIG_ID="YOUR_CONFIG_ID_HERE"

OPENAI_API_KEY="REDUNDANT"
```

Declare the arguments to pass to the parameters of OpenAI SDK and initialize a client instance.

```js theme={"system"}
STABILITYAI_VIRTUAL_KEY="YOUR_STABILITYAI_VIRTUAL_KEY_HERE"

client = OpenAI(

    api_key="REDUNDANT",

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        provider="stabilityai",

        api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY,

        virtual_key=STABILITYAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,

    )

)
```

The `api_key` parameter is passed a random string since it’s redundant as the request will be handled through Portkey.

To generate an image:

```js theme={"system"}
image = client.images.generate(

  model="stable-diffusion-v1-6",

  prompt="Kraken in the milkyway galaxy",

  n=1,

  size="1024x1024",

  response_format="b64_json"

)

base64_image = image.data[0].b64_json

image_data = base64.b64decode(base64_image)

image = Image.open(io.BytesIO(image_data))

display(image)
```

The image you receive in the response is encoded in base64 format, which requires you to decode it before you can view it in the Jupyter Notebook. In addition, Portkey offers logging for observability. To find all the information for every request, simply check the requests on the **Dashboard > Logs**.

### 3. Now, Setup a Fallback from SDXL to Dall-E

Let’s learn how to enhance the reliability of your Stability AI requests by configuring automatic fallbacks to Dall-E in case of failures. You can use Gateway Configs on Portkey to implement this automated fallback logic. These configurations can be passed while creating your OpenAI client.

From the Portkey Dashboard, open **Configs** and then click **Create**. In the config editor, write the JSON for Gateway Configs:

```js theme={"system"}
{

  "strategy": {

    "mode": "fallback"

  },

  "targets": [

    {

      "virtual_key": "stability-ai-virtualkey",

      "override_params": {

        "model": "stable-diffusion-v1-6"

      }

    },

    {

      "virtual_key": "open-ai-virtual-key",

      "override_params": {

        "model": "dall-e-3"

      }

    }

  ]

}
```

These configs tell the AI gateway to follow an `fallback` strategy, where the primary target to forward requests to is *Stability AI* (automatically inferred from the virtual key) and then to *OpenAI*. The `override_params` let’s you override the default models for the provider. Finally, surprise surprise! — we also enabled caching with just one more key-value pair.

Learn about [Gateway Configs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/configs) and [Caching](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/cache-simple-and-semantic) from the docs.

Hit **Save Config** on the top right corner and grab the \*\*Config ID. \*\*Next up, we are going to use the \_Config ID \_in our requests to activate fallback mechanism.

### 4. Make a request with gateway configs

Finally, the requests will be sent like we did with OpenAI SDK earlier, but with one specific difference - the `config` parameter. The request is sent through Portkey and uses saved gateway configs as references to activate the fallback mechanism.

```js theme={"system"}
client = OpenAI(

    api_key=OPENAI_API_KEY,

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY,

        config=CONFIG_ID

    )

)

image = client.images.generate(

  model="stable-diffusion-v1-6",

  prompt="Harry Potter travelling the world using Portkey",

  n=1,

  size="1024x1024",

  response_format="b64_json"

)

base64_image = image.data[0].b64_json

image_data = base64.b64decode(base64_image)

image = Image.open(io.BytesIO(image_data))

display(image)
```

### Afterthoughts

All the requests that go through Portkey will appear in the Logs page within the Portkey Dashboard. You can apply filters or even trace the specific set of requests. Check out [Request Tracing](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/traces). Simultaneously, a fallback icon is turned on for the log where the fallback is activated.

Portkey supports multiple providers offering multimodal capabilities, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Stability AI, all accessible through a unified API interface following OpenAI Signature.

# Testing Application Resilience with Fallbacks
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/fallbacks-test



Reliable applications gracefully handle failure. When a primary AI provider is slow, at capacity, or returns an error, your application must remain operational. Portkey's **fallback** feature is designed for exactly this, ensuring continuity by automatically switching to a backup provider.

This cookbook provides hands-on recipes to help you test and understand this critical feature. You will learn to intentionally trigger failures to see how fallbacks protect your application.

**What You'll Test:**

1. **Model Failure:** What happens when a requested model name is invalid?
2. **Rate Limit Errors:** How does the app react when a provider is too busy?
3. **Guardrail Violations:** How can you enforce content rules while maintaining availability?

By the end, you will have the confidence to build more resilient AI applications.

### **Prerequisites: Setting Up Your Environment**

Before you start, ensure you have:

1. A Portkey account.
2. At least two **AI Providers** configured in the [Model Catalog](https://www.google.com/search?q=/product/model-catalog). We'll use `@openai-prod` and `@anthropic-prod`.
3. Python with the Portkey SDK installed: `pip install portkey-ai`.
4. Your **Portkey API Key** set as an environment variable.

To set an environment variable, use one of the commands below in your terminal:

```sh theme={"system"}
# On macOS or Linux
export PORTKEY_API_KEY="your-portkey-api-key"

# On Windows (Command Prompt)
set PORTKEY_API_KEY="your-portkey-api-key"

# On Windows (PowerShell)
$env:PORTKEY_API_KEY="your-portkey-api-key"
```

***

## **Recipe 1: Fallback on Model Failure**

A model failure is a common issue, often caused by an invalid model string. This recipe simulates this failure and shows the fallback in action. When the primary provider cannot find the requested model, it returns an error, and Portkey steps in.

#### **Step 1: Configure the Failure Scenario**

No special UI setup is needed for this recipe beyond having a valid `@openai-prod` provider. The failure will be induced directly in our request config by referencing a model name that does not exist.

#### **Step 2: Run the Test**

The following code attempts a request using a config where the primary target specifies an invalid model name. Portkey will detect the **`404 Not Found`** error from the provider and automatically retry with the valid fallback provider.

```python theme={"system"}
import os
import json
from portkey_ai import Portkey

# Initializes the client, reading the API key from your environment
portkey = Portkey()

# This config targets a non-existent model name for the first provider
fallback_config = {
  "strategy": { "mode": "fallback" },
  "on_status_codes": [400, 412]
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "@openai-prod",
      "override_params": { "model": "gpt-4o-this-model-does-not-exist" }
    },
    {
      "provider": "@anthropic-prod",
      "override_params": { "model": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620" }
    }
  ]
}

print("Attempting request with a primary provider that has a bad model name...")

try:
    # Apply the config to this request using with_options()
    chat_completion = portkey.with_options(config=json.dumps(fallback_config)).chat.completions.create(
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a short story about a resilient robot."}],
        max_tokens=1024
    )

    print("\n✅ Success! The fallback was successful.")
    print(f"Final Response: {chat_completion.choices[0].message.content}")

except Exception as e:
    print(f"\n❌ Failure! The request did not fall back as expected: {e}")

```

#### **Step 3: Verify the Fallback**

The final response comes from Anthropic, your fallback provider.

To see the complete journey, go to the **[Logs Page](https://app.portkey.ai)** in your Portkey dashboard. Find the most recent request. You will see two attempts associated with it:

1. **`FAILED`**: The first request to **`@openai-prod`**, which failed with a **`404 Not Found`** status because the model name was invalid.
2. **`SUCCESS`**: The automatic fallback request to **`@anthropic-prod`**.

***

## **Recipe 2: Fallback on Rate Limit Errors**

High traffic can cause providers to return a **`429 Too Many Requests`** error. This recipe shows how to configure a fallback that triggers only on this specific error.

#### **Step 1: Configure the Failure Scenario**

In your Portkey dashboard, navigate to your valid OpenAI provider (`@openai-prod`) and apply a strict **Rate Limit**: **1 Request per Minute**.

#### **Step 2: Run the Test**

This script sends two requests in quick succession. The second request will hit the rate limit, forcing a fallback. The config uses **`on_status_codes: [429]`** to ensure the fallback only triggers for rate limit errors.

```python theme={"system"}
import os
import json
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey()

# This config only falls back on a 429 error
rate_limit_config = {
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback",
    "on_status_codes": [429]
  },
  "targets": [
    { "override_params": { "model": "@openai-prod/gpt-4o" } },
    { "override_params": { "model": "@anthropic-prod/claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620" } }
  ]
}

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is Newton's first law?"}]

# Make two requests to trigger the rate limit
for i in range(5):
    print(f"\n--- Making Request {i+1} ---")
    try:
        completion = portkey.with_options(config=json.dumps(rate_limit_config)).chat.completions.create(
            messages=messages,
            max_tokens=1024
        )

        final_model_used = completion.choices[0].model
        print(f"✅ Request {i+1} was successful. Response from: {final_model_used}")

    except Exception as e:
        print(f"❌ Request {i+1} failed unexpectedly: {e}")
```

#### **Step 3: Verify the Fallback**

The first request succeeds with OpenAI. The second request returns a successful response from Anthropic.

Check the **Logs** page for the second request. You will see the `FAILED` attempt to `@openai-prod` with a **`429`** status, followed by the `SUCCESS` call to `@anthropic-prod`.

***

## **Recipe 3: Fallback on Guardrail Violations**

Portkey Guardrails can block requests that violate your content policies, returning a **`446`** status code. You can use this to trigger a fallback, perhaps to a different model better suited for the filtered content.

#### **Step 1: Configure your guardrail**

1. Navigate to **Guardrails** → **Create**

2. Search for "word count" under Basic guardrails

3. Create a guardrail as shown below.

4. In the actions tab select `Deny the request if guardrail fails` flag.

5. Save the guardrail and note the `guardrail ID` for next step

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

#### **Step 2: Configure the Failure Scenario**

Create a saved **Portkey Config** in the UI.

1. Navigate to **Configs** in your Portkey dashboard and click **Create**.

2. Use a clear ID like **`fallback-on-guardrail-fail`**.

3. Paste the following JSON. Notice the **`input_guardrails`** block is nested inside the first target:

   ```json theme={"system"}
   {
     "strategy": {
       "mode": "fallback",
       "on_status_codes": [446]
     },
     "targets": [
       {
         "provider": "@openai-prod",
         "override_params": { "model": "gpt-4o" },
         "input_guardrails": ["your-guardrail-id"]
       },
       {
         "provider": "@anthropic-prod",
         "override_params": { "model": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620" }
       }
     ]
   }
   ```

4. **Save the Config**.

#### **Step 2: Run the Test**

This code sends an input that is intentionally too long, violating our 10-word limit. This will trigger the **`446`** error and the fallback.

```python theme={"system"}
import os
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey()

long_input_message = "Hey chat!."

print(f"Sending a long input ({len(long_input_message.split())} words) to a config with a 10-20 word limit...")

try:
    # Apply the saved config by its ID
    chat_completion = portkey.with_options(config="fallback-on-guardrail-fail").chat.completions.create(
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": long_input_message}],
        max_tokens=1024
    )

    print("\n✅ Success! The guardrail violation triggered a fallback.")
    print(f"Final Response: {chat_completion.choices[0].message.content}")

except Exception as e:
    print(f"\n❌ Failure! The fallback did not work as expected: {e}")
```

#### **Step 3: Verify the Fallback**

The request succeeds, and the response comes from Anthropic.

Go to the **Logs** page and find the request you just sent. You'll see its trace:

1. **`FAILED`**: The first attempt to `@openai-prod`, blocked by the `word_count` guardrail with a **`446`** status.
2. **`SUCCESS`**: The automatic fallback to `@anthropic-prod`, which processed the input.

### **Summary of Best Practices**

* **Test Your Configs:** Actively test your fallback logic to ensure it behaves as you expect during a real outage.
* **Be Specific with Status Codes:** Use `on_status_codes` to control precisely which errors trigger a fallback. This prevents unnecessary fallbacks on transient issues.
* **Monitor Your Logs:** The Trace View in Portkey Logs is your best tool for understanding fallback behavior, latency, and costs.
* **Consider Your Fallback Chain:** Choose fallback providers that are compatible with your use case and be mindful of their different performance and cost profiles.


# Few-Shot Prompting
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/few-shot-prompting

LLMs are highly capable of following a given structure. By providing a few examples of how the assistant should respond to a given prompt, the LLM can generate responses that closely follow the format of these examples.

Portkey enhances this capability with the ***raw prompt*** feature of prompt templates. You can easily add few-shot learning examples to your templates with *raw prompt* and dynamically update them whenever you want, without needing to modify the prompt templates!

## How does it work?

Let's consider a use case where, given a candidate profile and a job description, the LLM is expected to output candidate notes in a specific JSON format.

### This is how our raw prompt looks:

```JSON theme={"system"}
[
    {
        "role": "system",
        "message": "You output candidate notes in JSON format when given a candidate profile and a job description.",
    },

    {{few_shot_examples}},

    {
        "role": "user",
        "message": "Candidate Profile: {{profile}} \n Job Description: {{jd}}"
    },
]
```

### Let's define our variables:

As you can see, we have added variables `few_shot_examples`, `profile`, and `jd` in the above examples.

```
profile = "An experienced data scientist with a PhD in Computer Science and 5 years of experience working with machine learning models in the healthcare industry."

jd = "We are seeking a seasoned data scientist with a strong background in machine learning, ideally with experience in the healthcare sector. The ideal candidate should have a PhD or Master's degree in a relevant field and a minimum of 5 years of industry experience."
```

### And now let's add some examples with the expected JSON structure:

```JSON theme={"system"}
few_shot_examples =

[

 {

  "role": "user",

  "content": "Candidate Profile: Experienced software engineer with a background in developing scalable web applications using Python. Job Description: We’re looking for a Python developer to help us build and scale our web platform.",

 },

 {

  "role": "assistant",

  "content": "{'one-line-intro': 'Experienced Python developer with a track record of building scalable web applications.', 'move-forward': 'Yes', 'priority': 'P1', 'pros': '1. Relevant experience in Python. 2. Has built and scaled web applications. 3. Likely to fit well with the job requirements.', 'cons': 'None apparent from the provided profile.'}",

 },

 {

  "role": "user",

  "content": "Candidate Profile: Recent graduate with a degree in computer science and a focus on data analysis. Job Description: Seeking a seasoned data scientist to analyze large data sets and derive insights."

 },

 {

  "role": "assistant",

  "content": "{'one-line-intro': 'Recent computer science graduate with a focus on data analysis.', 'move-forward': 'Maybe', 'priority': 'P2', 'pros': '1. Has a strong educational background in computer science. 2. Specialized focus on data analysis.', 'cons': '1. Lack of professional experience. 2. Job requires a seasoned data scientist.' }"

  }

]
```

In this configuration, `{{few_shot_examples}}` is a placeholder for the few-shot learning examples, which are dynamically provided and can be updated as needed. This allows the LLM to adapt its responses to the provided examples, facilitating versatile and context-aware outputs.

## Putting it all together in Portkey's prompt manager:

1. Go to the "Prompts" page on [https://app.portkey.ai/](https://app.portkey.ai/organisation/4e501cb0-512d-4dd3-b480-8b6af7ef4993/9eec4ebc-1c88-41a2-ae5d-ed0610d33b06/collection/17b7d29e-4318-4b4b-a45b-1d5a70ed1e8f) and **Create** a new Prompt template with your preferred AI provider.
2. Selecting Chat mode will enable the Raw Prompt feature:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

1. Click on it and paste the [raw prompt code from above](/guides/use-cases/few-shot-prompting#this-is-how-our-raw-prompt-would-look). And that's it! You have your **dynamically updatable** few shot prompt template ready to deploy.

## Deploying the Prompt with Portkey

Deploying your prompt template to an API is extremely easy with Portkey. You can use our [Prompt Completions API](/portkey-endpoints/prompts/prompt-completion) to use the prompt we created.

# How to use Portkey Guardrails for PII Protection
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/guardrail-pii-use-case

Portkey Guardrails is a powerful tool for protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in your AI applications. This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough of implementing PII protection using Portkey's guardrail capabilities.

Protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) has become a critical requirement for enterprises deploying AI applications. With regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA imposing strict penalties for data breaches, organizations need robust mechanisms to prevent PII from being exposed through AI systems. This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough of implementing PII protection using Portkey's guardrail capabilities.

### Why PII Guardrails Matter for Your AI Applications

* **Regulatory Compliance**: Meet requirements for GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and other data protection regulations
* **Data Breach Prevention**: Stop sensitive information from leaking through AI responses
* **Customer Trust**: Demonstrate commitment to privacy and data protection
* **Cost Optimization**: Avoid regulatory fines and reputational damage
* **Operational Excellence**: Automate PII detection and redaction at scale

## Overview of Portkey's PII Protection Options

Portkey offers multiple approaches to PII protection:

### 1. **Portkey Native PII Detection**

* Comprehensive PII detection using advanced ML models
* Detects and redacts: names, emails, phones, addresses, SSNs, credit cards, IP addresses
* Simple configuration with immediate results
* Available on Production and Enterprise plans

### 2. **AWS Bedrock Guardrails Integration**

* Enterprise-grade PII detection from AWS
* Supports custom PII patterns via regex
* Currently focuses on SSN redaction by default

## How PII Transformation Works

When PII is detected in a request, Portkey transforms it before sending to the LLM:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Shows original request with PII and transformed request with placeholders" />
</Frame>

The transformation process:

* **Original**: Contains actual PII like names, emails, SSNs
* **Final (Transformed)**: PII replaced with numbered placeholders
* **Status**: Shows if transformation occurred

## Setting Up Portkey's Native PII Detection

### Step 1: Create a PII Detection Guardrail

1. Navigate to **Guardrails** → **Create**
2. Search for "Detect PII" under PRO guardrails
3. Select PII categories to detect:
   * **Phone Numbers**: Mobile and landline numbers
   * **Email Addresses**: Personal and corporate emails
   * **Location Information**: Addresses, cities, coordinates
   * **IP Addresses**: IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
   * **Social Security Numbers**: US SSN format
   * **Names**: First names, last names, full names
   * **Credit Card Information**: Card numbers

### Step 2: Enable PII Redaction

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Toggle the **Redact PII** option to automatically replace detected PII with placeholders.

### Step 3: Configure Guardrail Actions

Set up how your guardrail should behave:

* **Async**: Run checks without blocking (default: TRUE)
* **Deny**: Block requests with PII (default: FALSE)
* **On Success/Failure**: Send feedback for monitoring

### Step 4: Add to Config and Use

Once you save your guardrail, you'll get a Guardrail ID. Add it to your config:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "input_guardrails": ["gr-pii-detection-xxx"]
}
```

<Note>
  The examples below demonstrate **input guardrails only**. You can also apply PII detection to outputs by adding guardrails to `output_guardrails`.
</Note>

# How to use OpenAI SDK with Portkey Prompt Templates
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/how-to-use-openai-sdk-with-portkey-prompt-templates

Portkeys Prompt Playground allows you to test and tinker with various hyperparameters without any external dependencies and deploy them to production seamlessly. Moreover, all team members can use the same prompt template, ensuring that everyone works from the same source of truth.

Right within OpenAI SDK along with Portkey APIs, you can use prompt templates to achieve this.

## 1. Creating a Prompt Template

Portkey's prompt playground enables you to experiment with various LLM providers. It acts as a definitive source of truth for your team, and it versions each snapshot of model parameters, allowing for easy rollback. We want to create a chat completion prompt with `gpt4` that tells a story about any user-desired topic.

To do this:

1. Go to **[www.portkey.ai](http://www.portkey.ai)**
2. Opens a Dashboard
   1. Click on **Prompts** and then the **Create** button.
3. You are now on Prompt Playground.

Spend some time playing around with different prompt inputs and changing the hyperparameters. The following settings seemed most suitable and generated a story that met expectations.

The list of parameters in my prompt template:

| System            | You are a very good storyteller who covers various topics for the kids. You narrate them in very intriguing and interesting ways. You tell the story in less than 3 paragraphs. |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| User              | Tell me a story about                                                                                                                                                           |
| Max Tokens        | 512                                                                                                                                                                             |
| Temperature       | 0.9                                                                                                                                                                             |
| Frequency Penalty | -0.2                                                                                                                                                                            |

When you look closely at the description for the User role, you find `{{topic}}`. Portkey treats them as dynamic variables, so a string can be passed to this prompt at runtime. This prompt is much more useful since it generates stories on any topic.

Once you are happy with the Prompt Template, hit **Save Prompt**. The Prompts page displays saved prompt templates and their corresponding prompt ID, serving as a reference point in our code.

Next up, let’s see how to use the created prompt template to generate chat completions through OpenAI SDK.

## 2. Retrieving the prompt template

Fire up your code editor and import the request client, `axios`. This will allow you to POST to the Portkey's render endpoint and retrieve prompt details that can be used with OpenAI SDK.

We will use `axios` to make a `POST` call to `/prompts/${PROMPT_ID}/render` endpoint along with headers (includes [Portkey API Key](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/authentication#obtaining-your-api-key)) and body that includes the prompt variables required in the prompt template.

For more information about Render API, refer to the [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/prompts/render).

```js theme={"system"}
import axios from 'axios';

const PROMPT_ID = '';

const PORTKEYAI_API_KEY = '';

const url = `https://api.portkey.ai/v1/prompts/${PROMPT_ID}/render`;

const headers = {

  'Content-Type': 'application/json',

  'x-portkey-api-key': PORTKEYAI_API_KEY

};

const data = {

  variables: { topic: 'Tom and Jerry' }

};

let {

  data: { data: promptDetail }

} = await axios.post(url, data, { headers });

console.log(promptDetail);
```

We get prompt details as a JS object logged to the console:

```js theme={"system"}
{

  model: 'gpt-4',

  n: 1,

  top_p: 1,

  max_tokens: 512,

  temperature: 0.9,

  presence_penalty: 0,

  frequency_penalty: -0.2,

  messages: [

    {

      role: 'system',

      content: 'You are a very good storyteller who covers various topics for the kids. You narrate them in very intriguing and interesting ways.  You tell the story in less than 3 paragraphs.'

    },

    { role: 'user', content: 'Tell me a story about Tom and Jerry' }

  ]

}
```

## 3. Sending requests through OpenAI SDK

This section will teach you to use the prompt details JS object we retrieved earlier and pass it as an argument to the instance of the OpenAI SDK when making the chat completions call.

Let’s import the necessary libraries and create a client instance from the OpenAI SDK.

```js theme={"system"}
import OpenAI from 'openai';

import { createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from 'portkey-ai';

const client = new OpenAI({

  apiKey: 'USES_VIRTUAL_KEY',

  baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

  defaultHeaders: createHeaders({

    provider: 'openai',

    apiKey: `${PORTKEYAI_API_KEY}`,

    virtualKey: `${OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY}`

  })

});
```

We are importing `portkey-ai` to use its utilities to change the base URL and the default headers. If you are wondering what virtual keys are, refer to [Portkey Vault documentation](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys).

The prompt details we retrieved are passed as an argument to the chat completions creation method.

```js theme={"system"}
let TomAndJerryStory = await generateStory('Tom and Jerry');

console.log(TomAndJerryStory);

async function generateStory(topic) {

  const data = {

    variables: { topic: String(topic) }

  };

  let {

    data: { data: promptDetail }

  } = await axios.post(url, data, { headers });

  const chatCompletion = await client.chat.completions.create(promptDetail);

  return chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content;

}
```

This time, run your code and see the story we set out to generate logged to the console!

```
In the heart of a bustling city, lived an eccentric cat named Tom and a witty little mouse named Jerry. Tom, always trying to catch Jerry, maneuvered himself th...(truncated)
```

## Bonus: Using Portkey SDK

The official Portkey Client SDK has a prompts completions method that is similar to chat completions’ OpenAI signature. You can invoke a prompt template just by passing arguments to `promptID` and `variables` parameters.

```py theme={"system"}
const promptCompletion = await portkey.prompts.completions.create({

  promptID: 'Your Prompt ID',

  variables: {

    topic: 'Tom and Jerry'

  }

});
```

## Conclusion

We’ve now finished writing a some NodeJS program that retrieves the prompt details from the Prompt Playground using prompt ID. Then successfully made a chat completion call using OpenAI SDK to generate a story with the desired topic.

We can use this approach to focus on improving prompt quality with all the LLMs supported, simply reference them at the code runtime.

  <Step title="Context enhancement">
    Search results are added to your prompt as additional context
  </Step>

  <Step title="LLM responds with current information">
    Your chosen LLM now has access to real-time data to answer accurately
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

1. ✅ [LibreChat installed and running](https://www.librechat.ai/docs/quick_start/local_setup)
2. ✅ [Basic Portkey + LibreChat integration](/integrations/libraries/librechat) completed
3. ✅ [Portkey account](https://app.portkey.ai) with API key
4. ✅ [Exa account](https://exa.ai) with API key

## Setup Guide

### Step 1: Enable Exa Plugin in Portkey

First, activate the Exa plugin in your Portkey account:

1. Log into your [Portkey dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai)
2. Navigate to `Settings` → `Plugins` in the sidebar

4. Click **Enable** and enter your Exa API key
5. Save your settings

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Step 2: Create an Exa Guardrail

Next, create a guardrail that will add web search to your requests:

1. Go to the `Guardrails` page in Portkey
2. Click `Create New Guardrail`
3. Search for **"Exa Online Search"** and click `Add`
4. Configure the following parameters:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "context_prefix": "<web_search_context>",
  "context_suffix": "</web_search_context>",
  "num_results": 3,
  "timeout": 10000
}
```

<Info>
  **Recommended Settings:**

  * **Number of Results**: 3-5 (balances information vs token usage)
  * **Timeout**: 10000ms (10 seconds)
  * **Include/Exclude Domains**: Leave empty for general use, or specify trusted sources
</Info>

5. Set the action to `passthrough` (default)
6. Save the guardrail and copy the **Guardrail ID**

### Step 3: Create a Config with Web Search

Now create a Portkey config that includes your Exa guardrail:

1. Navigate to `Configs` in the Portkey dashboard
2. Click `Create New Config`
3. Add your configuration:

<CodeGroup>
  ```json Using Virtual Key theme={"system"}
  {
    "virtual_key": "YOUR_PROVIDER_VIRTUAL_KEY",
    "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
    "override_params": {
      "model": "gpt-4o"  // or any model you prefer
    }
  }
  ```

  ```json Using Provider API Key theme={"system"}
  {
    "provider": "openai",
    "api_key": "YOUR_PROVIDER_API_KEY",
    "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
    "override_params": {
      "model": "gpt-4o"
    }
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

4. Save the config and note the **Config ID** (e.g., `pc-websearch-xxx`)

### Step 4: Update Your LibreChat Configuration

Finally, update your LibreChat setup to use the web-search enabled config:

1. Edit your `librechat.yaml` file:

```yaml librechat.yaml theme={"system"}
version: 1.1.4
cache: true
endpoints:
  custom:
    - name: "Portkey with Web Search"
      apiKey: "dummy"
      baseURL: ${PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL}
      headers:
        x-portkey-api-key: "${PORTKEY_API_KEY}"
        x-portkey-config: "pc-websearch-xxx"  # Your config ID from Step 3
      models:
        default: ["gpt-4o", "claude-3-sonnet", "llama-3.1-70b"]
        fetch: true
      titleConvo: true
      titleModel: "current_model"
      summarize: false
      summaryModel: "current_model"
      forcePrompt: false
      modelDisplayLabel: "Portkey:WebSearch"
```

2. Restart your LibreChat instance

### Step 5: Test Your Setup

1. Open LibreChat in your browser
2. Select **"Portkey with Web Search"** as your endpoint
3. Try asking questions that require current information:

```
"What happened in the tech industry today?"
"What's the current price of Bitcoin?"
"Who won the latest sports championship?"
"What are the latest AI model releases?"
```

You should see responses with up-to-date information pulled from the web!

## Advanced Configuration

### Domain Filtering

For specialized use cases, you can limit search results to specific domains:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "virtual_key": "YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY",
  "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
  "override_params": {
    "model": "gpt-4o"
  }
}
```

In your Exa guardrail settings:

* **Include Domains**: `["arxiv.org", "nature.com", "pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov"]` (for academic research)
* **Exclude Domains**: `["reddit.com", "twitter.com"]` (to avoid social media)

### Multiple Configurations

Create different configs for different use cases:

```yaml librechat.yaml theme={"system"}
endpoints:
  custom:
    - name: "AI Research Assistant"
      apiKey: "dummy"
      baseURL: ${PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL}
      headers:
        x-portkey-api-key: "${PORTKEY_API_KEY}"
        x-portkey-config: "pc-research-xxx"  # Config with academic domains
      models:
        default: ["gpt-4o"]
      modelDisplayLabel: "Research:WebSearch"

    - name: "News & Current Events"
      apiKey: "dummy"
      baseURL: ${PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL}
      headers:
        x-portkey-api-key: "${PORTKEY_API_KEY}"
        x-portkey-config: "pc-news-xxx"  # Config with news domains
      models:
        default: ["claude-3-sonnet"]
      modelDisplayLabel: "News:WebSearch"
```

### Combining with Other Portkey Features

Enhance your web-search enabled config with additional Portkey features:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "virtual_key": "YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY",
  "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
  "output_guardrails": ["content_safety_guardrail_id"],
  "cache": {
    "mode": "semantic",
    "max_age": 3600
  },
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3
  },
  "override_params": {
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "temperature": 0.7
  }
}
```

## Monitoring Web Search Usage

Track your web-search enhanced conversations in the Portkey dashboard:

1. Navigate to **Logs** in Portkey
2. Filter by config ID to see web-search requests
3. Click on individual logs to see:
   * The original user query
   * Web search results added as context
   * Token usage (including search context)
   * Response time and costs

# Multi-Tenant LLM Access with Enterprise Control for Customer-Facing Apps
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/multi-tenant-ai-feature



Modern SaaS platforms face a critical challenge when adding AI capabilities: how to provide thousands of customers with access to powerful language models while maintaining predictable costs, ensuring fair resource allocation, and preventing abuse.

Consider a typical scenario: Your B2B SaaS platform serves 5,000 users across 200 customer accounts. Each customer wants to leverage AI for different use cases - some need GPT-4 for complex analysis, others require Claude for writing tasks, and many are satisfied with GPT-3.5 for basic queries. Without proper infrastructure, you risk:

* **Uncapped Costs**: A single customer consuming \$10,000 in API credits overnight
* **Resource Contention**: Power users monopolizing API capacity
* **Security Vulnerabilities**: Shared API keys creating audit and compliance issues
* **Poor User Experience**: No visibility into usage limits or remaining budgets
* **Operational Complexity**: Managing multiple provider APIs without unified controls

This guide demonstrates how to build production-ready AI features that give your customers flexibility while maintaining enterprise-grade control and predictability.

## What You'll Build

This architecture enables:

* **Individual Usage Controls**: Per-customer API keys with configurable limits
* **Dynamic Model Access**: Customers see only authorized models based on their subscription tier
* **Real-time Budget Management**: Automatic enforcement of spending caps
* **Comprehensive Observability**: Usage analytics at customer, account, and platform levels
* **Provider Abstraction**: Single API interface across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more

## Architecture Overview

The solution uses Portkey as an intelligent gateway between your application and LLM providers:

```mermaid theme={"system"}
graph TB
    subgraph "Your SaaS Platform"
        C1[Customer 1 - Enterprise: $500/mo]
        C2[Customer 2 - Pro: $100/mo]
        C3[Customer 3 - Starter: $25/mo]
    end

    subgraph "Portkey AI Gateway"
        GW[•Routing <br/>• Budgets <br/>• Observability]
    end

    subgraph "LLM Providers"
        LLM[OpenAI • Anthropic • Google • Azure]
    end

    C1 --> GW
    C2 --> GW
    C3 --> GW
    GW --> LLM
```

The architecture provides three key abstraction layers:

1. **Customer Layer**: Your application issues individual API keys to customers
2. **Gateway Layer**: Portkey handles routing, validation, and enforcement
3. **Provider Layer**: Your LLM credentials remain secure and centralized

## Prerequisites

Before implementing this solution, ensure you have:

* Portkey account with admin/owner role on organization access
* API credentials from your chosen LLM providers

## Step 1: Establishing Organizational Structure

### Understanding the Hierarchy

Before diving into configuration, let's understand how Portkey organizes access control. The platform uses a three-tier hierarchy that maps naturally to business structures:

```
Organization (Your Entire SaaS Platform)
├── Workspaces (Logical Groups - Teams, Tiers, or Regions)
│   ├── Enterprise Customers Workspace
│   ├── Professional Customers Workspace
│   └── Starter Customers Workspace
└── API Keys (Individual Access Points)
    ├── Each customer gets their own API key
    ├── Keys inherit workspace settings
    └── Keys can have individual budget and reate limits
```

**Why this structure?**

* **Organization**: Sets platform-wide policies and defaults
* **Workspaces**: Groups customers with similar needs (e.g., all Enterprise customers)
* **API Keys**: Individual access points with customer-specific limits

### Configuring Organization Settings

We will first start with first setting up some organisation properites for Portkey.  Navigate to your organization settings to establish platform-wide rules.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Organization settings page" />
</Frame>

#### A. Metadata Schema Enforcement

**What is Metadata?**

Metadata in Portkey is custom key-value pair attached to every AI request. Think of it as tags that help you track who's using AI, how they're using it, and what it's costing you. This becomes crucial when you have thousands of customers making millions of requests.

For example, metadata helps you answer questions like:

* Which customer made this request?
* What feature in your app triggered it?
* Which subscription tier should be billed?
* What was the user trying to accomplish?

<Card title="Learn About Metadata" icon="tags" href="/product/observability/metadata">
  Deep dive into metadata configuration and best practices
</Card>

Define required metadata fields for subscription\_tier:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "api_key_metadata_schema": {
    "type": "object",
    "required": ["subscription_tier"],
    "properties": {
      "subscription_tier": {
        "type": "string",
        "enum": ["starter", "professional", "enterprise"]
      }
    }
  }
}
```

This schema ensures every API key created has proper tagging for cost allocation and compliance.

## Step 2: Workspace Design for Customer Segmentation

### Creating Customer Workspaces

Workspaces are containers that group customers with similar characteristics. Let's create workspaces for different customer tiers:

**To create a new workspace:**

1. Click on your current workspace name in the sidebar
2. Click **"+ Add Workspace"**
3. Configure the workspace with appropriate settings

<Frame>
  <img alt="Workspace creation interface" />
</Frame>

For each workspace, configure:

```yaml theme={"system"}
Workspace Name: workspace-enterprise
Description: Enterprise tier customers with premium access
Metadata:
  tier: enterprise
  default_monthly_budget: 500
  support_level: premium
```

Create three workspaces (for example):

* `workspace-enterprise` - For your highest-tier customers
* `workspace-professional` - For mid-tier customers
* `workspace-starter` - For entry-level customers

## Step 3: Connecting AI Providers

### Creating Provider Integrations

Integrations securely store your provider credentials while enabling controlled access. Think of them as secure vaults that your workspaces can access without ever exposing the actual API keys.

<Card title="Learn About Integrations" icon="plug" href="/product/model-catalog/integrations">
  Complete guide to managing AI provider integrations
</Card>

<Frame>
  <img alt="OpenAI integration setup" />
</Frame>

Set up your primary provider:

1. Navigate to **Integrations** → **Create New Integration**
2. Select your AI provider (e.g., OpenAI)
3. Configure the integration:

### Workspace Provisioning

When creating the integration, configure which workspaces can access it and set appropriate budget and rate limits for your integration:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Workspace provisioning with tier-based access" />
</Frame>

For each workspace, click the edit icon to configure:

```yaml theme={"system"}
Enterprise Tier:
  Access: ✓ Enabled
  Budget Limit: $500/month
  Rate Limit: 1000 requests/minute
  Alert Threshold: 80% ($400)

Professional Tier:
  Access: ✓ Enabled
  Budget Limit: $100/month
  Rate Limit: 100 requests/minute
  Alert Threshold: 80% ($80)

Starter Tier:
  Access: ✓ Enabled
  Budget Limit: $25/month
  Rate Limit: 10 requests/minute
  Alert Threshold: 80% ($20)
```

### Model Provisioning

Define which models your integration can access:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Model provisioning interface" />
</Frame>

Configure model access strategically by tier:

```yaml theme={"system"}
  - gpt-4o (Advanced reasoning)
  - gpt-5 (Complex tasks)
  - gpt-5-nano (Basic queries)
```

### Model Rules with Guardrails (Advanced)

For fine-grained control over model access based on metadata, use Portkey's Guardrails feature:

1. Navigate to **Guardrails** → **Model Rule Guardrail**
2. Create a new guardrail with your routing rules:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "model_rules": {
    "defaults": ["gpt-3.5-turbo"],
    "metadata_routing": {
      "subscription_tier": {
        "enterprise": ["gpt-4-turbo", "claude-3-opus"],
        "professional": ["gpt-4", "claude-3-sonnet"],
        "starter": ["gpt-3.5-turbo"]
      }
    }
  }
}
```

3. Attach the guardrail at the workspace level by going to [Workspace Control](https://app.portkey.ai/workspace-control/)
4. Alternatively, attach it to individual API keys using configs

  Explore content filtering, PII detection, and model routing rules
</Card>

## Step 4: Customer API Key Management with Budget Limits and Metadata

### Programmatic Key Generation

Now let's create individual API keys for your customers. Each customer gets their own key with specific budget and rate limits:

<Note>
  You need to use Admin API key here and not Workspace API key. You can find it on Admin settings -> API Keys
</Note>

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey
from typing import List, Dict

class WorkspaceKeyManager:
    def __init__(self, admin_api_key: str):
        """Initialize with your Portkey admin API key"""
        self.portkey = Portkey(api_key=admin_api_key)

    def get_all_workspaces(self) -> List[Dict]:
        """
        Step 1: Retrieve all workspace slugs
        """
        workspaces = self.portkey.admin.workspaces.list()

        # Extract workspace info
        workspace_list = []
        for workspace in workspaces.data:
            workspace_list.append({
                "id": workspace.id,
                "slug": workspace.slug,
                "name": workspace.name
            })

        print(f"\n{'='*60}")
        print(f"Found {len(workspace_list)} workspaces:")
        print(f"{'='*60}")
        for i, ws in enumerate(workspace_list, 1):
            print(f"{i:2}. {ws['name']}")
            print(f"    Slug: {ws['slug']}")
        print(f"{'='*60}\n")

        return workspace_list

    def create_workspace_api_key(

                "unit": "rpm",
                "value": requests_per_minute
            }]
        )

        return {
            "api_key": api_key_response.key,
            "workspace": workspace_slug,
            "workspace_name": workspace_name,
            "monthly_budget": monthly_budget,

            print(f"{'='*60}\n")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

## Step 5: Customer-Facing Integration

### Dynamic Model Discovery

Provide customers with real-time access to their available models:

```python theme={"system"}
import json
from portkey_ai import Portkey

client = Portkey(
    api_key = "your-customer-api-key"
)
models = client.models.list()

# Extract the data array from the response
model_data = models.data if hasattr(models, 'data') else models

# Create organized structure with just IDs

# Portkey with OpenAI Computer Use
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/openai-computer-use

Leverage Portkey with OpenAI's Computer Use tool for automated browser interactions with enterprise-grade observability and controls

OpenAI's Computer Use tool enables AI to interact with computer interfaces through a continuous loop of actions and screenshots, allowing for automated web browsing, form filling, data extraction, and other complex UI-based tasks. However, deploying this capability in production environments comes with challenges around monitoring, cost control, and reliability.

This cookbook demonstrates how to integrate Portkey with OpenAI's Computer Use to build production-ready automation solutions with enterprise-grade controls. You'll learn how to:

* Set up a Portkey client to handle Computer Use API calls
* Build a complete Playwright-based browser automation solution
* Implement the continuous action-screenshot loop required by Computer Use
* Enhance your application with Portkey's enterprise features

## Why Use Portkey with Computer Use?

Portkey adds several critical capabilities when working with OpenAI's Computer Use:

* **Unified API Gateway**: Seamlessly switch between models or providers while maintaining the same implementation
* **Cost Tracking & Budget Controls**: Monitor usage costs in real-time and set spending limits to prevent unexpected bills
* **Detailed Analytics**: View 40+ metrics for each interaction including token usage, response times, and error rates
* **Enhanced Reliability**: Implement retries, fallbacks, and timeouts to make your automation more resilient
* **Secure API Key Management**: Store API credentials securely using Portkey's Model Catalog
* **Usage Attribution**: Track usage across teams, departments, or projects for proper cost allocation

OpenAI's Computer Use tool enables AI to interact with computer interfaces through a continuous loop of actions and screenshots. Portkey's integration with this capability makes it production-ready with enterprise features like observability, reliability, and governance controls.

## Prerequisites

* Portkey account with API key ([sign up here](https://app.portkey.ai))
* OpenAI credentials added in [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) (e.g., named `openai-prod`)
* Playwright for browser automation

<Note>
  This guide focuses on Playwright integration, but Portkey works equally well with other environments supported by Computer Use, such as Docker-based VMs or other automation frameworks.
</Note>

## Integration Steps

### 1. Install & Import Required Libraries

```bash icon="square-terminal" theme={"system"}
pip install portkey-ai playwright
```

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
import time
import base64
from portkey_ai import Portkey  # Import Portkey instead of OpenAI
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
```

<Note>
  The first time you run this, if you haven't used Playwright before, you will be prompted to install dependencies. Execute the command suggested, which will depend on your OS.
</Note>

### 2. Initialize Portkey Client

Replace the standard OpenAI client with Portkey's client, configuring it with your Portkey API key and provider slug:

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
client = Portkey(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    provider="@openai-prod"  # Your provider slug from Model Catalog
)
```

### 3. Set Up Your Browser Environment

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch(
        headless=False,
        chromium_sandbox=True,
        env={},
        args=[
            "--disable-extensions",
            "--disable-file-system"
        ]
    )
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.set_viewport_size({"width": 1024, "height": 768})
    page.goto("https://bing.com")  # Starting URL

    page.wait_for_timeout(2000)  # Wait for page to load
```

### 4. Create Helper Functions for Actions and Screenshots

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
def handle_model_action(page, action):
    """Execute computer actions on the Playwright page."""
    action_type = action.type

    try:
        match action_type:
            case "click":
                x, y = action.x, action.y
                button = action.button
                print(f"Action: click at ({x}, {y}) with button '{button}'")
                if button != "left" and button != "right":
                    button = "left"
                page.mouse.click(x, y, button=button)

            case "scroll":
                x, y = action.x, action.y
                scroll_x, scroll_y = action.scroll_x, action.scroll_y
                print(f"Action: scroll at ({x}, {y}) with offsets ({scroll_x}, {scroll_y})")
                page.mouse.move(x, y)
                page.evaluate(f"window.scrollBy({scroll_x}, {scroll_y})")

            case "keypress":
                keys = action.keys
                for k in keys:
                    print(f"Action: keypress '{k}'")
                    if k.lower() == "enter":
                        page.keyboard.press("Enter")
                    elif k.lower() == "space":
                        page.keyboard.press(" ")
                    else:
                        page.keyboard.press(k)

            case "type":
                text = action.text
                print(f"Action: type text: {text}")
                page.keyboard.type(text)

            case "wait":
                print(f"Action: wait")
                time.sleep(2)

            case "screenshot":
                print(f"Action: screenshot")
                # Nothing to do as screenshot is taken at each turn

            case _:
                print(f"Unrecognized action: {action}")

    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error handling action {action}: {e}")


def get_screenshot(page):
    """Take a screenshot using Playwright."""
    return page.screenshot()
```

### 5. Implement the Computer Use Loop

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
def computer_use_loop(instance, response):
    """Run the loop that executes computer actions until no more 'computer_call' is found."""
    while True:
        computer_calls = [item for item in response.output if item.type == "computer_call"]
        if not computer_calls:
            print("No computer call found. Output from model:")
            for item in response.output:
                print(item)
            break  # Exit when no computer calls are issued.

        # We expect at most one computer call per response.
        computer_call = computer_calls[0]
        last_call_id = computer_call.call_id
        action = computer_call.action

        # Execute the action
        handle_model_action(instance, action)
        time.sleep(1)  # Allow time for changes to take effect.

        # Take a screenshot after the action
        screenshot_bytes = get_screenshot(instance)
        screenshot_base64 = base64.b64encode(screenshot_bytes).decode("utf-8")

        # Send the screenshot back as a computer_call_output
        response = client.responses.create(
            model="computer-use-preview",
            previous_response_id=response.id,
            tools=[
                {
                    "type": "computer_use_preview",
                    "display_width": 1024,
                    "display_height": 768,
                    "environment": "browser"
                }
            ],
            input=[
                {
                    "call_id": last_call_id,
                    "type": "computer_call_output",
                    "output": {
                        "type": "input_image",
                        "image_url": f"data:image/png;base64,{screenshot_base64}"
                    }
                }
            ],
            truncation="auto"
        )

    return response
```

### 6. Start the Computer Use Session

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
# Initialize the first request
initial_response = client.responses.create(
    model="computer-use-preview",
    tools=[{
        "type": "computer_use_preview",
        "display_width": 1024,
        "display_height": 768,
        "environment": "browser"
    }],
    input=[
        {
          "role": "user",
          "content": [
            {
              "type": "input_text",
              "text": "Check the latest OpenAI news on bing.com."
            }
          ]
        }
    ],
    reasoning={
        "summary": "concise",
    },
    truncation="auto"
)

# Start the computer use loop
final_response = computer_use_loop(page, initial_response)

# How to Run Structured Output Evals at Scale
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/run-batch-evals



Building production-ready AI applications requires more than just choosing the right model and infrastructure. Just like traditional software development relies on comprehensive testing, AI applications need rigorous evaluation to ensure they perform reliably in the real world.

Consider a customer support chatbot for a food delivery service. If it incorrectly processes a refund request, your company bears the financial cost. If it misunderstands a complaint about food allergies, the consequences could be even more severe. These high-stakes scenarios demand systematic evaluation before deployment.

## The Problem with Generic Evaluations

Many teams start with off-the-shelf metrics like "helpfulness" rated 1-5. As Hamel Hussain notes in his evaluation guide: **"Binary evaluations force clearer thinking and more consistent labeling."**

Instead of vague scales, effective evaluations should:

* **Use binary metrics**: Pass/fail decisions that force clarity
* **Be domain-specific**: Tied directly to your application's success criteria
* **Be verifiable**: Validated against expert-labeled data

## What We'll Build

In this cookbook, we'll take a ground-up approach to building custom evaluations for your AI application using Portkey.

We'll work through a practical example: an AI agent that analyzes Amazon product reviews. Our agent needs to:

1. Classify sentiment (positive/negative/neutral)
2. Return results in a specific JSON format

### Our Evaluation Framework

Using real Amazon review data, we'll build evaluations that check:

1. **Format compliance**: Does the output match our required JSON schema `{"sentiment": "positive"}`?

By the end of this guide, you'll have a reusable framework for building evaluations specific to your own AI applications.

# Part 1: Building Your Evaluation Framework

### Design Your Evaluation Prompt

<Tip>
  **Best Practice**: Start with clear, specific instructions and concrete examples. Ambiguous prompts lead to inconsistent evaluations.
</Tip>

Portkey’s Prompt Library is a centralized platform for managing, versioning, and deploying prompts across your AI applications. It provides:

* **Version Control**: Track changes and rollback to previous versions

* **Variable Substitution**: Use mustache-style templates (`{{variable}}`) for dynamic content

* **Model Configuration**: Set provider, model, and parameters in one place

* **Team Collaboration**: Share and manage prompts across your organization

**Navigate to Portkey's Prompt Library**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create New Prompt">
    Navigate to **Prompts** → **Create Prompt** in your Portkey dashboard
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Basic Settings">
    * **Name**: `sentiment-analysis-evaluator`
    * **Provider**: OpenAI (or your preferred provider)
    * **Model**: gpt-4o-mini
    * **Temperature**: 0 (for consistency)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add System Instructions">
    ```
    You are a sentiment analysis expert. Always respond with valid JSON.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the User Prompt">
    Add this template with mustache variables:

    ```
    Analyze the sentiment of this Amazon product review.

    REQUIREMENTS:
    1. Classify as exactly one of: positive, negative, or neutral
    2. Use lowercase only
    3. Return valid JSON in this exact format: {"categories": ["<sentiment>"]}
    4. Base classification on the overall tone, ignoring minor complaints in positive reviews

    EXAMPLES:

    Input: "This charger works perfectly! Fast charging, great price. Minor issue with cable length but I'd buy again."
    Output: {"sentiment": ["positive"]}

    Input: "Product did not arrive on time. Does what it says. Nothing special."
    Output: {"sentiment": ["negative"]}

    Input: "Complete waste of money. Broke after 2 days. Customer service was useless."
    Output: {"sentiment": ["negative"]}

    REVIEW TO ANALYZE:
    {{amazon_review}}
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and Copy ID">
    Save the prompt and copy the Prompt ID (e.g., `prm_abc123`)
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  The variable `{{amazon_review}}` must match exactly what you'll pass in your API calls. Mismatched variables are a common source of errors.
</Warning>

### Create the JSON Schema Validator

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Guardrails">
    Go to **Guardrails** → **Create Guardrail**
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Validator">
    * **Name**: `sentiment-json-validator`
    * **Type**: JSON Schema Validator
    * **Position**: After (validates model output)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Schema">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
      "type": "object",
      "required": ["categories"],
      "properties": {
        "categories": {
          "type": "array",
          "items": {
            "type": "string",
            "enum": ["positive", "negative"]
          },
          "minItems": 1,
          "maxItems": 1
        }
      },
      "additionalProperties": false
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    This Guardrail will act as a check after the response and validate if the model repose is a valid JSON schema as we need.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Combine with a Config

Configs orchestrate how requests route with Portkey. You can define a config as a JSON inside Portkey app and access it in your Portkey Client using `config_id`.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Config">
    Navigate to **Configs** → **Create Config**

    * **Name**: `sentiment-eval-config`

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "output_guardrails": ["your-json-schem-guardrail-id"]
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save Configuration">
    Copy the Config ID (e.g., `cfg_xyz789`)
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Accordion title="What You've Built So Far">
  * ✅ A prompt that clearly defines the sentiment analysis task
  * ✅ Output validation that ensures consistent JSON formatting
  * ✅ A config that ties everything together
</Accordion>

## Part 2: Running Batch Evaluations

Now that we have our prompt template and guardrails configured, let's run evaluations at scale using Portkey's batch processing capabilities. Batch processing allows you to evaluate hundreds or thousands of examples efficiently and cost-effectively.

### Why Batch Processing for Evaluations?

Portkey’s batching engine lets you run thousands of LLM calls across any provider—whether or not they support native batching. It handles everything for you: queuing, retries, timeouts, and async execution. You don’t need to manage infrastructure; Portkey ensures high-throughput, reliable inference at scale. Plus, every call in the batch is fully observable, with token usage, cost, and latency available for monitoring and optimization.

### Setting Up the Evaluation Pipeline

Let's build a complete pipeline that:

1. Fetches real Amazon reviews from Hugging Face
2. Formats them for batch processing
3. Runs them through our configured prompt
4. Collects results with automatic scoring

First, install the required dependencies:

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install requests pandas
```

Now, let's walk through the complete batch evaluation script:

```python theme={"system"}
"""
Portkey Batch Evaluation Pipeline
This script demonstrates how to:
1. Fetch Amazon reviews from Hugging Face
2. Create JSONL file with proper format
3. Upload to Portkey
4. Create and monitor batch job
5. Retrieve results and save to CSV
"""

import requests
import json
import pandas as pd
import time

# Configuration
PORTKEY_API_KEY = "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"  # Replace with your API key
PROMPT_ID = "YOUR_PROMPT_ID"  # Replace with your prompt ID from Part 1
BASE_URL = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
```

### Step 1: Fetch Amazon Reviews

We'll use the Hugging Face datasets API to fetch real Amazon product reviews:

```python theme={"system"}
# Step 1: Fetch Amazon reviews from Hugging Face
print("\n=== Step 1: Fetching Amazon reviews ===")
url = "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/rows"
params = {
    "dataset": "sentence-transformers/amazon-reviews",
    "config": "pair",
    "split": "train",
    "offset": 0,
    "length": 10  # Start with 10 reviews for testing
}

response = requests.get(url, params=params)
data = response.json()

reviews = []
for row in data['rows']:
    if 'row' in row and 'review' in row['row']:
        reviews.append(row['row']['review'])

print(f"Fetched {len(reviews)} reviews")

```

<Note>
  You can increase the `length` parameter to evaluate more reviews. For production evaluations, you might process hundreds or thousands of reviews.
</Note>

### Step 2: Create JSONL File

Portkey's batch API expects a JSONL (JSON Lines) file where each line is a separate request:

```python theme={"system"}
# Step 2: Create JSONL file
print("\n=== Step 2: Creating JSONL file ===")
jsonl_entries = []

for idx, review in enumerate(reviews, 1):
    entry = {
        "custom_id": f"request-{idx}",
        "method": "POST",
        "url": f"/v1/prompts/{PROMPT_ID}/completions",
        "body": {
            "variables": {
                "amazon_review": review  # This replaces {{amazon_review}} in prompt
            }
        }
    }
    jsonl_entries.append(entry)

filename = "amazon_reviews_batch.jsonl"
with open(filename, 'w') as file:
    for entry in jsonl_entries:
        file.write(json.dumps(entry) + '\n')

print(f"Created {filename} with {len(jsonl_entries)} entries")
```

### Step 3: Upload File to Portkey

```python theme={"system"}
# Step 3: Upload file to Portkey
print("\n=== Step 3: Uploading file to Portkey ===")
upload_url = f"{BASE_URL}/files"
headers = {"x-portkey-api-key": PORTKEY_API_KEY}

with open(filename, 'rb') as file:
    files = {'file': (filename, file, 'application/jsonl')}
    data = {'purpose': 'batch'}
    response = requests.post(upload_url, headers=headers, files=files, data=data)

file_data = response.json()
file_id = file_data['id']
print(f"File uploaded. File ID: {file_id}")
```

### Step 4: Create Batch Job

Now we create the batch job, specifying our config ID to apply guardrails:

```python theme={"system"}
# Step 4: Create batch job
print("\n=== Step 4: Creating batch job ===")
batch_url = f"{BASE_URL}/batches"
headers = {
    "x-portkey-api-key": PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

batch_data = {
    "input_file_id": file_id,
    "endpoint": f"/v1/prompts/{PROMPT_ID}/completions",
    "completion_window": "immediate",
    "metadata": {
        "evaluation_name": "amazon_sentiment_eval_v1"
    },
    "portkey_options": {
            "x-portkey-config": CONFIG_ID
        }
}

response = requests.post(batch_url, headers=headers, json=batch_data)
batch_response = response.json()
batch_id = batch_response['id']
print(f"Batch created. Batch ID: {batch_id}")
```

<Warning>
  Don't forget to add your Config ID to the batch request. This ensures your guardrails (PII check, output validation, and feedback scoring) are applied to every request in the batch.
</Warning>

### Step 5: Monitor Batch Status

```python theme={"system"}
# Step 5: Check batch status
print("\n=== Step 5: Checking batch status ===")
status_url = f"{BASE_URL}/batches/{batch_id}"
headers = {"x-portkey-api-key": PORTKEY_API_KEY}

while True:
    response = requests.get(status_url, headers=headers)
    status_data = response.json()

    status = status_data.get('status')
    request_counts = status_data.get('request_counts', {})

    print(f"Status: {status} | Completed: {request_counts.get('completed', 0)}/{request_counts.get('total', 0)}")

    if status == 'completed':
        break
    elif status == 'failed':
        print("Batch failed!")
        break

    time.sleep(2)
```

### Step 6: Retrieve and Process Results

```python theme={"system"}
# Step 6: Get batch output
# Step 6: Get batch output
print("\n=== Step 6: Getting batch output ===")
output_url = f"{BASE_URL}/batches/{batch_id}/output"
response = requests.get(output_url, headers=headers)

# Parse JSONL response
results = []
for line in response.text.strip().split('\n'):
    if line:
        results.append(json.loads(line))

print(f"Retrieved {len(results)} results")




# Step 7: Save to CSV
print("\n=== Step 7: Saving results to CSV ===")
csv_data = []

for result in results:
    custom_id = result.get('custom_id', '')

    # Get original review
    idx = int(custom_id.split('-')[1]) - 1
    original_review = reviews[idx] if idx < len(reviews) else ""

    # Extract response
    response_body = result.get('response', {}).get('body', {})
    choices = response_body.get('choices', [])

    if choices:
        assistant_response = choices[0].get('message', {}).get('content', '')
        # Parse the JSON response to get sentiment
        try:
            sentiment_data = json.loads(assistant_response)
            sentiment = sentiment_data.get('categories', ['unknown'])[0]
        except:
            sentiment = 'parse_error'
    else:
        assistant_response = "No response"
        sentiment = 'no_response'

    status_code = result.get('response', {}).get('status_code', '')

    csv_data.append({
        'custom_id': custom_id,
        'original_review': original_review,
        'sentiment': sentiment,
        'full_response': assistant_response,
        'status_code': status_code,
        'JSON Schema Validate': status_code == 246  # Add new column
    })

# Create DataFrame and save
df = pd.DataFrame(csv_data)
output_filename = "batch_evaluation_results.csv"
df.to_csv(output_filename, index=False)
print(f"Results saved to {output_filename}")

# Display summary
print(f"\nSummary:")
print(f"Total requests: {len(results)}")
print(f"Successful: {len(df[df['status_code'] == 200])}")

# Show sentiment distribution
print("\nSentiment Distribution:")
print(df['sentiment'].value_counts())

# Prepare data for display
display_df = df.copy()
# Truncate original_review to 50 characters
display_df['original_review'] = display_df['original_review'].apply(lambda x: str(x)[:50] + '...' if len(str(x)) > 50 else x)
# Truncate full_response to 30 characters
display_df['full_response'] = display_df['full_response'].apply(lambda x: str(x)[:30] + '...' if len(str(x)) > 30 else x)

# Select and reorder columns for display
display_columns = ['custom_id', 'sentiment', 'status_code', 'JSON Schema Validate', 'original_review']
display_df = display_df[display_columns]

# Display the CSV in a nice table format
print("\nDetailed Results:")
print(tabulate(display_df, headers='keys', tablefmt='simple', showindex=False))
```

## Understanding the Results

The script outputs a CSV with your evaluation results. Here's what matters:

* **status\_code 200**: Request passed JSON schema validation ✅
* **status\_code 246**: Request failed JSON schema validation ❌

Example output:

```
Summary:
Total requests: 10
Successful: 8
Schema Validation Passed: 8
Schema Validation Failed: 2

Sentiment Distribution:
positive    5
negative    3
parse_error 2
```

## What to Do Next

<Steps>
  <Step title="Fix Schema Failures">
    If you see 246 status codes, check:

    * Is your prompt output format clear?
    * Did you include enough examples?
    * Is the JSON structure in your prompt exactly right?
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scale Up">
    Change `length: 10` to `length: 100` or `length: 1000` to test more reviews
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add More Guardrails">
    Create guardrails for:

    * Checking if negative reviews mention refunds
    * Validating positive reviews aren't too short
    * Flagging reviews that need human review
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Conclusion

You now have:

* A working evaluation pipeline
* Automatic JSON validation
* Batch processing for scale
* Clear pass/fail metrics

Start with 100 reviews, fix any issues, then scale to thousands.

# Run Portkey on Prompts from Langchain Hub
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/run-portkey-on-prompts-from-langchain-hub

Writing the right prompt is often hard to get a quality LLM response. You want the prompt to be specialized and exhaustive enough for your problem. There is a high chance someone else might’ve stumbled across a similar situation and written the prompt you’ve been figuring out all this while. 

Langchain’s [Prompts Hub](https://smith.langchain.com/hub) is like Github but for prompts. You can pull the prompt to make API calls to your favorite Large Language Models (LLMs) on providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc. [Portkey](https://portkey.ai/) provides a unified API interface (follows the OpenAI signature) to make API calls through its SDK.

Learn more about [Langchain Hub](https://blog.langchain.dev/langchain-prompt-hub/) and [Portkey](https://portkey.ai/docs).

In this cookbook, we will pick up a prompt to direct the model in generating precise step-by-step instructions to reach a user-desired goal. This requires us to grab a prompt by browsing on the Prompts Hub and integrating it into Portkey to make a chat completions API call.

Let’s get started.

## 1. Import Langchain Hub and Portkey Libraries

Why not explore the prompts listed on the [Prompts Hub](https://smith.langchain.com/hub)?

Meanwhile, let’s boot up the NodeJS environment and start importing libraries — `langchain` and `portkey-ai`

```sh theme={"system"}
import * as the hub from 'langchain/hub';

import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';
```

You can access the Langchain Hub through SDK read-only without a LangSmith API Key.

Since we expect to use Portkey to make API calls, let’s instantiate and authenticate with the API keys. You can[ get the Portkey API key](https://portkey.ai/docs/welcome/make-your-first-request#id-1.-get-your-portkey-api-key) from the dashboard and save your OpenAI API key in the [Portkey Vault](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys) to get a Virtual Key.

```py theme={"system"}
const portkey = new Portkey({

  apiKey: 'xxtrk',

  virtualKey: 'main-xwxxxf4d'

});
```

Did you find an interesting prompt to use? I found one at [ohkgi/superb\_system\_instruction\_prompt](https://smith.langchain.com/hub/ohkgi/superb%5Fsystem%5Finstruction%5Fprompt).

This prompt details the prompt to direct the model to generate step-by-step instructions, precisely what we are searching for.

## 2. Pull a Prompt from Langchain Hub

Next up, let’s try to get the Prompt details using the `hub` API

Pass the label of the *repository* on as an argument to `pull` method as follows:

```sh theme={"system"}
const response = await hub.pull('ohkgi/superb_system_instruction_prompt');

console.log(response.promptMessages[0].prompt.template);
```

This should log the following to the console:

```sh theme={"system"}
# You are a text generating AIs instructive prompt creator, and you: Generate Clever and Effective Instructions for a Generative AI Model, where any and all instructions you write will be carried out by a single prompt response from....(truncated)
```

Good going! It’s time to pipe the prompt to make the API call.

## 3. Make the API Call using Portkey

The model we will request is going to be OpenAI’s GPT4. Since `gpt-4` accepts System and User roles, let’s prepare them.

```py theme={"system"}
const userGoal = 'design a blue button in the website to gain highest CTA';

const SYSTEM = response.promptMessages[0].prompt.template;

const USER = `I need  instructions  for this goal:\n${userGoal}\n

They should be in a similar format as your own instructions.`;

const messages = [

  {

    role: 'system',

    content: String(SYSTEM)

  },

  {

    role: 'user',

    content: String(USER)

  }

];
```

Pass `messages` to the chat completions call as an argument to the response.

```py theme={"system"}
const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({

  messages,

  model: 'gpt-4'

});

console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
```

```sh theme={"system"}
1. Begin by understanding the specific context in which the blue button is required. This includes the purpose of the call-to-action (CTA),..
```

## 4. Explore the Logs

The prompt we used consisted of approximately 1300 tokens and cost around 5.5 cents. This information can be found on Portkey's Logs page, which provides valuable data such as the time it took for the request to be processed, dates, and a snapshot of the request headers and body.

Read about all the observability features you get in the [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/observability).

Congratulations! You now have the skills to access a prompt from the Langchain hub through programming and use it to make an API request to GPT4. Try out a quick experiment by tweaking your prompt from the Langchain hub and trying out the Claude2.1 model. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve!

<Accordion title="See the full code">
  ```js theme={"system"}
  import * as hub from 'langchain/hub';

  import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

  const portkey = new Portkey({

  });

  const response = await hub.pull('ohkgi/superb_system_instruction_prompt');

  const userGoal = 'design a blue button in the website to gain highest CTA';

  const SYSTEM = response.promptMessages[0].prompt.template;

  const USER = `I need  instructions  for this goal:\n${userGoal}\n

  They should be in a similar format as your own instructions.

  `;

  const messages = [

  {
    role: 'system',
    content: String(SYSTEM)
  },

  {
    role: 'user',
    content: String(USER)
  }

  ];

  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'claude-2.1',
  max_tokens: 1000

  });

  console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
  ```

# Setting up resilient Load balancers with failure-mitigating Fallbacks
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/setting-up-resilient-load-balancers-with-failure-mitigating-fallbacks

Companies often face challenges of scaling their services efficiently as the traffic to their applications grow - when you’re consuming APIs, the first point of failure is that if you hit the API too much, you can get rate limited. Loadbalancing is a proven way to scale usage horizontally without overburdening any one provider and thus staying within rate limits.

For your AI app, rate limits are even more stringent, and if you start hitting the providers’ rate limits, there’s nothing you can do except wait to cool down and try again. With Portkey, we help you solve this very easily.

This cookbook will teach you how to utilize Portkey to distribute traffic across multiple LLMs, ensuring that your loadbalancer is robust by setting up backups for requests. Additionally, you will learn how to load balance across OpenAI and Anthropic, leveraging the powerful Claude-3 models recently developed by Anthropic, with Azure serving as the fallback layer.

Prerequisites:

You should have the [Portkey API Key](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/authentication#obtaining-your-api-key). Please sign up to obtain it. Additionally, you should have stored the OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Anthropic details in the [Portkey vault](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys).

## 1. Import the SDK and authenticate Portkey

Start by installing the `portkey-ai` to your NodeJS project.

```sh theme={"system"}
npm i --save portkey-ai
```

Once installed, you can import it and instantiate it with the API key to your Portkey account.

```sh theme={"system"}
import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: process.env['PORTKEYAI_API_KEY']
});
```

## 2. Create Configs: Loadbalance with Nested Fallbacks

Portkey acts as AI gateway to all of your requests to LLMs. It follows the OpenAI SDK signature in all of it’s methods and interfaces making it easy to use and switch. Here is an example of an chat completions requests through Portkey.

```sh theme={"system"}
const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages
});
```

The Portkey AI gateway can apply our desired behaviour to the requests to various LLMs. In a nutshell, our desired behaviour is the following:

Lucky for us, all of this can implemented by passing a configs allowing us to express what behavior to apply to every request through the Portkey AI gateway.

```JSON theme={"system"}
const config = {
  strategy: {
    mode: 'loadbalance'
  },
  targets: [
    {
      override_params: {
        model: '@anthropic/claude-3-opus',
        max_tokens: 200
      },
      weight: 0.5
    },
    {
      strategy: {
        mode: 'fallback'
      },
      targets: [
        {
          override_params: {
            model: '@openai/gpt-3.5-turbo'
          }
        },
        {
          override_params: {
            model: '@azure-openai/gpt-3.5-turbo'
          }
        }
      ],
      weight: 0.5
    }
  ]
};

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: process.env['PORTKEYAI_API_KEY'],
  config: config // pass configs as argument
});
```

We apply the `loadbalance` strategy across *Anthropic and OpenAI.* `weight` describes the traffic should be split into 50/50 among both the LLM providers while `override_params` will help us override the defaults.

Let’s take this a step further to apply a fallback mechanism for the requests from\* OpenAI\* to fallback to *Azure OpenAI*. This nested mechanism among the `targets` will ensure our app is reliable in the production in great confidence.

See the documentation for Portkey [Fallbacks](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/fallbacks) and [Loadbalancing](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/load-balancing).

## 3. Make a Request

Now that the `config` ‘s are concrete and are passed as arguments when instantiating the Portkey client instance, all subsequent will acquire desired behavior auto-magically — No additional changes to the codebase.

```JSON theme={"system"}
const messages = [
  {
    role: 'system',
    content: 'You are a very helpful assistant.'
  },
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: 'What are 7 wonders in the world?'
  }
];

const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

// The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World are:
```

Next, we will examine how to identify load-balanced requests or those that have been executed as fallbacks.

## 4. Trace the request from the logs

It can be challenging to identify particular requests from the thousands that are received every day, similar to trying to find a needle in a haystack. However, Portkey offers a solution by enabling us to attach a desired trace ID. Here `request-loadbalance-fallback`.

```JSON theme={"system"}
const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
  {
    messages
  },
  {
    traceID: 'request-loadbalance-fallback'
  }
);
```

This trace ID can be used to filter requests from the Portkey Dashboard (>Logs) easily.

In addition to activating Loadbalance (icon), the logs provide essential observability information, including tokens, cost, and model.

Are the configs growing and becoming harder to manage in the code? [Try creating them from Portkey UI](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/configs#creating-configs) and reference the configs ID in your code. It will make it significantly easier to maintain.

## 5. Advanced: Canary Testing

Given there are new models coming every day and your app is in production — What is the best way to try the quality of those models? Canary Testing allows you to gradually roll out a change to a small subset of users before making it available to everyone.

Consider this scenario: You have been using OpenAI as your LLM provider for a while now, but are considering trying an open-source Llama model for your app through Anyscale.

```JSON theme={"system"}
const config = {
  strategy: {
    mode: 'loadbalance'
  },
  targets: [
    {
      override_params: {
        model: '@openai/gpt-3.5-turbo'
      },
      weight: 0.9
    },
    {
      override_params: {
        model: '@anyscale/meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf'
      },
      weight: 0.1
    }
  ]
};

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: process.env['PORTKEYAI_API_KEY'],
  config: config
});

const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
  {
    messages
  },
  {
    traceID: 'canary-testing'
  }
);

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

The `weight` , indication of traffic is split to have 10% of your user-base are served from Anyscale’s Llama models. Now, you are all set up to get feedback and observe the performance of your app and release increasingly to larger userbase.

## Considerations

You can implement production-grade Loadbalancing and nested fallback mechanisms with just a few lines of code. While you are equipped with all the tools for your next GenAI app, here are a few considerations:

* Every request has to adhere to the LLM provider’s requirements for it to be successful. For instance, `max_tokens` is required for Anthropic and not for OpenAI.
* While loadbalance helps reduce the load on one LLM - it is recommended to pair it with a Fallback strategy to ensure that your app stays reliable
* On Portkey, you can also pass the loadbalance weight as 0 - this will essentially stop routing requests to that target and you can amp it up when required
* Loadbalance has no target limits as such, so you can potentially add multiple account details from one provider and effectively multiply your available rate limits
* Loadbalance does not alter the outputs or the latency of the requests in any way

Happy Coding!

# Setup OpenAI -> Azure OpenAI Fallback
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/setup-openai-greater-than-azure-openai-fallback

Portkey Fallbacks can automatically switch your app's requests from one LLM provider to another, ensuring reliability by allowing you to fallback among multiple LLMs.

[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/github/Portkey-AI/portkey-cookbook/blob/main/ai-gateway/how%5Fto%5Fsetup%5Ffallback%5Ffrom%5Fopenai%5Fto%5Fazure%5Fopenai.ipynb)

## How to Setup Fallback from OpenAI to Azure OpenAI

Let’s say you’ve built an LLM-based app and deployed it to production. It relies on OpenAI’s gpt-4 model. It’s [Mar 12, 2023](https://status.portkey.ai/incident/339664), and suddenly your users find errors with the functionality of the app — “It doesn’t work!”

It turns out that in the logs, the app has encountered [503 errors](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes) due to overloaded requests on the server-side. What could you do? If you are in such a situation, we have an answer for you: Portkey Fallbacks.

This is especially useful given the unpredictable nature of LLM APIs. With Portkey, you can switch to a different LLM provider, such as Azure, when needed, making your app Production-Ready.

In this cookbook, we will learn how to implement a fallback mechanism in our apps that allows us to automatically switch the LLM provider from OpenAI to Azure OpenAI with just a few lines of code. Both providers have the exact same set of models, but they are deployed differently. Azure OpenAI comes with its own deployment mechanisms, which are generally considered to be more reliable.

Prerequisites:

1. You have the [Portkey API Key](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/authentication#obtaining-your-api-key). \[ [Sign Up](https://portkey.ai) ]
2. You stored OpenAI and Azure OpenAI API keys as [virtual keys](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys).

## 1. Import the SDK and authenticate with Portkey

We start by importing Portkey SDK into our NodeJS project using npm and authenticate by passing the Portkey API Key.

```sh theme={"system"}
!pip install portkey-ai openai
```

```js theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

from google.colab import userdata

PORTKEYAI_API_KEY=userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY')

OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY=userdata.get('OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY')

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key=PORTKEYAI_API_KEY,

)
```

## 2. Create Fallback Configs

Next, we will create a configs object that influences the behavior of the request sent using Portkey.

```js theme={"system"}
{

 strategy: {

    mode: "fallback",

  },

  targets: [

    {

      virtual_key: OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,

    },

    {

      virtual_key: AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,

    },

  ],

}
```

This configuration instructs Portkey to use a \_fallback \_strategy with the requests. The \_targets\_array lists the virtual keys of LLMs in the order Portkey should fallback to an alternative.

Most users find it way more cleaner to define the configs in the Portkey UI and reference the config ID in the code. [Try it out](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/configs#creating-configs).

Add this configuration to the *portkey* instance to apply the fallback behavior to all the requests.

```js theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

from google.colab import userdata

import json

PORTKEYAI_API_KEY=userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY')

OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY=userdata.get('OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY')

AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY=userdata.get('AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY')

config_data = {

 'strategy': {

    'mode': "fallback",

  },

  'targets': [
    {
      'virtual_key': OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,
    },
    {
      'virtual_key': AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,
    }
  ]
}

portkey = Portkey(
    api_key=PORTKEYAI_API_KEY,
    virtual_key=OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,
    config=json.dumps(config_data)
)
```

Always reference the credentials from the environment variables to prevent exposure of any sensitive data. Portkey will automatically infer the LLM providers based on the passed virtual keys.

> The Azure OpenAI virtual key only needs to be set up once, and it will then be accessible through Portkey in all subsequent API calls.

Fallback Configs without virtual keys

```js theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "api_key": "sk-xxxxxxxxpRT4xxxx5"
    },
    {
      "provider": "azure-openai",
      "api_key": "*******"
    }
  ]
}
```

## 3. Make a request

All the requests will hit OpenAI since Portkey proxies all those requests to the target(s) we already specified. Notice that the changes to the requests do not demand any code changes in the business logic implementation. Smooth!

```js theme={"system"}
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "What are the 7 wonders of the world?"
    }
]

response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    messages = messages,
    model = 'gpt-3.5-turbo'
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content) # Here is the plan
```

When OpenAI returns any 4xx or 5xx errors, Portkey will automatically switch to Azure OpenAI to ensure the same specified model is used.

## 4. View the Fallback Status in Logs

Since all the requests go through Portkey, Portkey can log them for better observability of your app. You can find the specific requests by passing an *trace ID*. It can be any desired string name. In this case, `my-trace-id`

```js theme={"system"}
response = portkey.with_options(trace_id="").chat.completions.create(
    messages = messages,
    model = 'gpt-4'
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

You can apply filter with Trace ID to list requests. Instances when the fallbacks are activated will highlight the fallback icon. The logs can be filtered by cost, tokens, status, config, trace id and so on.

Learn more about [Logs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/logs).

## 5. Advanced: Fallback on Specific Status Codes

Portkey provides finer control over the when it should apply fallback strategy to your requests to LLMs. You can define the configuration to condition based on specific status codes returned by the LLM provider.

```js theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey
from google.colab import userdata
import json

PORTKEYAI_API_KEY=userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY')
OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY=userdata.get('OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY')
AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY=userdata.get('AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY')

config_data = {

 'strategy': {

    'mode': "fallback",

    'on_status_codes': [429]

  },

  'targets': [

    {

      'virtual_key': OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,

    },

    {

      'virtual_key': AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,

    },

  ],

}

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key=PORTKEYAI_API_KEY,

    virtual_key=OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,

    config=json.dumps(config_data)

)

messages = [

    {

        "role": "user",

        "content": "What are the 7 wonders of the world?"

    }

]

response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

    messages = messages,

    model = 'gpt-3.5-turbo'

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content) # Here is the plan
```

In the above case for all the request that are acknowledged with the status code of 429 will fallback from OpenAI to Azure OpenAI.

## 6. Considerations

That’s it; you can implement production-grade fallback mechanisms with just a few lines of code. While you are equipped with all the tools to implement fallbacks to your next GenAI app, here are few considerations:

* The implementation of Fallback does not alter the quality of LLM outputs received by your app.
* Azure requires you to deploy specific models. Portkey will automatically trigger the chat completions endpoint using GPT4 if it is available instead of GPT3.5.


# Smart Fallback with Model-Optimized Prompts
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/smart-fallback-with-model-optimized-prompts

Portkey can help you easily create fallbacks from one LLM to another, making your application more reliable. While Fallback ensures reliability, it also means that you'll be running a prompt optimized for one LLM on another, which can often lead to significant differences in the final output.

Using Portkey Prompt templates you can optimize for specific models and ensure the final output is best optimised for the use-case, even if there are different models (in the fallback chain).

In this cookbook, we will explore setting up fallbacks between model-optimized prompt templates instead of using the same prompt for different models.

Let’s get started

## 1. Import and Authenticate Portkey SDK

Start by importing Portkey SDK into your NodeJS project using npm and authenticate by passing the Portkey API Key.

```py theme={"system"}
import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

  apiKey: process.env.PORTKEYAI_API_KEY

});
```

You are now ready to access methods on `portkey` instance to trigger a prompt completions API.

## 2. The Limitation with the Traditional Fallbacks

Prepare the prompt for the task you want the model to do. We want our model to split a goal into actionable steps for the cookbook. The good version I was able to come up with `GPT`4 was with the following prompt with **default** model parameters (based on satisfactory response in the playground):

```sh theme={"system"}
You are a productivity expert. When given a task, you can smartly suggest possible subtasks. You list the subtasks in less than 10 items, keeping each as actionable.
```

| System:You are a productivity expert. When given a task, you can smartly suggest possible subtasks. You list the subtasks in less than 10 items, keeping each short and actionable.User:The following is the goal I want to achieve:I want to become fit in 6 months | GPT4:1. Visit a doctor for a health check-up.2. Set specific fitness goals (like weight loss, strength, etc)....9. Stay hydrated and make adjustments as required. | Claude:Here are some suggested subtasks to help you achieve six-pack abs in six months:1. Develop a balanced and nutritious meal plan that focuses on lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats while limiting processed foods and sugary drinks.2. Create a sustainable calorie deficit by tracking your daily food intake and ensuring you burn more calories than you consume....9.

This means the prompt that got the satisfactory output from GPT4 may not fetch optimum quality with Claude. From the above example, Claude’s response is a bit more elaborate than what we wanted—short and actionable.

We will solve this problem with model optimised prompt templates.

## 3. Create Model-Optimised Prompt Templates

Using Portkey Prompt Templates, you can write your prompt and instructions in one place and then just input the variables when making a call rather than passing the whole instruction again.

To create a prompt template:

1. Login into Portkey Dashboard
2. Navigate to **Prompts**
   1. Click **Create** to open prompt creation page

The following page should open:

I am using Anthopic’s `claude-3-opus-20240229` model to instruct it to generate sub-tasks for an user’s goal. You can declare an variable using moustache syntax to substitute an value when prompt is triggered. For example, `{{goal}}` is substituted with “I want to earn six packs in six months” in the playground.

Now, create another prompt template that can act as a fallback.

You can create the same prompt this time but use a different model, such as `gpt-4`. You have created two prompt templates by now. You must have noticed each prompt has a slightly different `system` message based on the model. After experimenting with each model, the above prompt was best suited for suggesting actionable steps to reach the goal.

The models on this page require you to add your OpenAI and Anthropic API keys in [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog).

For further exploration, Try learning about OpenAI SDK to work with Prompt Templates.

## Fallback Configs using Prompt Templates

You need to prepare requests to apply fallback strategy. To do that, use the created prompt templates earlier, one with Anthropic and another with OpenAI, structure them as follows:

```JSON theme={"system"}
{

  "strategy": {

    "mode": "fallback"

  },

  "targets": [

    {

      "prompt_id": "task_to_subtasks_anthropic"

    },

    {

      "prompt_id": "task_to_subtasks_openai"

    }

  ]

}
```

The `targets` is an array of objects ordered by preference in favor of *Anthropic* and then on to *OpenAI*.

Pass these `config`s at instance creation from Portkey

```py theme={"system"}
const portkey = new Portkey({

  apiKey: PORTKEY_API_KEY,

  config: {

    strategy: {

      mode: 'fallback'

    },

    targets: [

      {

        prompt_id: 'task_to_subtasks_anthropic'

      },

      {

        prompt_id: 'task_to_subtasks_openai'

      }

    ]

  }

});
```

With this step done, moving forward the methods on `portkey` will have the context of above gateway configs for every request sent through portkey.

Read more about different ways to work with Gateway Configs.

## Trigger Prompt Completions to Activate Smart Fallbacks

The prompt templates are prepared to be triggered while the Portkey client SDK waits to trigger the prompt completions API.

```py theme={"system"}
const response = await portkey.prompts.completions.create({

  promptID: 'pp-test-811461',

  variables: { goal: 'I want to acquire an AI engineering skills' }

});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content); // success
```

The `promptID` invokes the prompt template you want to trigger on a prompt completions API. Since we already pass the gateway configs as an argument to the `configs` parameter during client instance creation, the value against the `promptID` is ignored, and `task_to_subtasks_anthropic` will be treated as the first target where requests will routed to, then fallback to `task_to_subtasks_openai` as defined in the `targets`.

Notice how `variables` hold the information to be substituted in the prompt templates at runtime. Also, even when the `promptID` is valid, the gateway configs will be respected in precedence.

See the [reference](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/prompts/prompt-completion) to learn more.

## View Fallback status in the Logs

Portkey provides the **Logs** to inspect and monitor all the requests seamlessly. It provides valuable information about each request from date/time, model, request, response, etc.

Here is a screenshot of a log:

[Refer to the Logs documentation](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/logs).

Great job! You learned how to create prompt templates in Portkey and set up fallbacks for thousands of requests from your app, all with just a few lines of code.

## Bonus: Activate Loadbalancing

Loadbalancing can split the volume of requests to both prompts separately, respecting the `weight`s. As an outcome, you have fewer chances of hitting the rate limits and not overwhelming the models.

Here is how you can update the gateway configs:

```py theme={"system"}
const portkey = new Portkey({

  apiKey: PORTKEY_API_KEY,

  config: {

    strategy: {

      mode: 'loadbalance'

    },

    targets: [

      {

        prompt_id: 'task_to_subtasks_anthropic',

        weight: 0.1

      },

      {

        prompt_id: 'task_to_subtasks_openai',

        weight: 0.9

      }

    ]

  }

});
```

The weights will split the traffic of 90% to OpenAI and 10% to Anthropic prompt templates.

Great job! You learned how to create prompt templates in Portkey and set up fallbacks and load balancing for thousands of requests from your app, all with just a few lines of code.

Happy Coding!

# Tracking LLM Costs Per User with Portkey
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/track-costs-using-metadata

Monitor and analyze user-level LLM costs across 1600+ models using Portkey's metadata and analytics API.

LLM runs are expensive. As your application scales, tracking costs per user, team, or workflow becomes essential to maintaining efficiency and budgeting effectively.

Traditional solutions only provide API key-level tracking, requiring complex custom systems for detailed analysis. Portkey solves this with **metadata-based tracking**, allowing you to monitor and allocate costs seamlessly.

## Why Track LLM Costs Per User?

Consider these scenarios:

1. Your SaaS platform serves thousands of users—how do you track and bill their usage fairly?
2. Your enterprise team needs cost transparency across different departments—how do you allocate expenses?
3. Your application has multiple features leveraging LLMs—how much is each feature costing you?

With Portkey, you can track costs per user using **two methods**:

1. **Portkey Dashboard:** Use metadata filters to analyze costs visually.
2. **Analytics API:** Integrate with your systems to display real-time cost insights in your app.

This guide walks you through both approaches.

***

## Step 1: Attach User Metadata to LLM Requests

Portkey allows you to attach metadata (key-value pairs) to each request, enabling cost breakdowns per user.

Portkey's metadata accepts a JSON object of `key:value` pair. Each metadata value should be a **string** (max length: **128 characters**). Here’s how to implement it:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  # Python Implementation Example
  from portkey import Portkey

  portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      provider="@OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY"
  )


  response = portkey.with_options(
      metadata = {
          "_user": "customer_1",  # Special user identifier
          "team": "mobile_app_v2",
          "env": "production"
  }).chat.completions.create(
      messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'What is 1729' }],
      model = 'gpt-4'
  )

  print(response.choices[0].message)
  ```

  ```javascript NodeJS theme={"system"}
  import {Portkey} from 'portkey-ai'

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      virtualKey: "OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY"
  })

  const requestOptions = {
      metadata: {
          "_user": "USER_ID",
          "organisation": "ORG_ID",
          "request_id": "1729"
      }
  }

  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Who was ariadne?' }],
      model: 'gpt-4',
  }, requestOptions);

  console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -H "x-portkey-virtual-key: $OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY" \
    -H "x-portkey-metadata: {\"_user\":\"USER_ID\", \"organisation\":\"ORG_ID\", \"request_id\":\"1729\"}" \
    -d '{
      "model": "gpt-4",
      "messages": [{"role": "user","content": "Hello!"}]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Each metadata field in your request helps categorize and track costs. You can inject these values dynamically from your application context.

***

## Step 2: View User Costs in the Portkey Dashboard

Portkey’s dashboard provides a **live view** of costs broken down by metadata filters.

1. Open **Portkey Dashboard**
2. In the **Search Bar**, select `>Meta`
3. Add a metadata filter, e.g., `_user = customer_12345`

You can also combine filters (e.g., `_user` + `env`) and adjust the **time range** for historical cost tracking.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

This gives you an instant breakdown of LLM expenses per user or team.

***

## Step 3: Fetch Cost Data Programmatically via the Analytics API

For deeper integrations, the **Analytics API** enables real-time cost tracking inside your own application. This is useful for:

* **User-facing billing dashboards** (show users their LLM usage in real time)
* **Automated cost monitoring** (trigger alerts when a user’s spending exceeds a threshold)
* **Enterprise reporting** (export data for budget forecasting)

**Understanding the Analytics API**

The API provides comprehensive cost analytics data across any metadata dimension you've configured. You can query historical data, aggregate costs across different timeframes, and access detailed metrics for each metadata value.
Here's what you can access through the API:

```json theme={"system"}
"data": [
  {
    "metadata_value": "kreacher",
    "requests": 4344632,
    "cost": 3887.3066999996863,
    "avg_tokens": 447.3689256075083,
    "avg_weighted_feedback": 4.2,
    "requests_with_feedback": 10,
    "last_seen": "2025-02-03T07:19:30.000Z",
    "object": "analytics-group"
  },
  {
    ...more such objects
  }
```

These metrics provide insights into costs, usage patterns, and efficiency. The response includes:

* Total requests and costs per metadata value
* Average token usage for optimization analysis
* User feedback metrics for quality assessment
* Timestamp data for temporal analysis

## Step 4: Tracking User Costs using Portkey's Analytics API

Before making your first API call, you'll need to obtain an API key from the Portkey Dashboard. This key requires analytics scope access, which you can configure in your API key settings.

<Note>
  Review the complete [Analytics API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/analytics/groups-paginated-data/get-metadata-grouped-data) documentation for additional endpoints and features.
</Note>

The API follows RESTful principles and accepts standard HTTP requests. Here's how to get started:

1. Replace the api key in the `x-portkey-api-key` header.
2. In the url replace `{metadataKey}` with the metadata key you want to track costs for.

<Note>
  * Use the `page_size` parameter to control the number of results per response
  * Include additional filters by passing a stringified JSON object in the `metadata` field
</Note>

That's all you need to do the get the resonse data with the cost metric for the metadata key you are tracking.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js NodeJS theme={"system"}
  const options = {method: 'GET', headers: {'x-portkey-api-key': '<api-key>'}};

  fetch('https://api.portkey.ai/v1/analytics/groups/metadata/{metadataKey}', options)
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(response => console.log(response))
    .catch(err => console.error(err));

  ```

  ```py Python theme={"system"}
  import requests

  url = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/analytics/groups/metadata/{metadataKey}"

  headers = {"x-portkey-api-key": "<api-key>"}

  response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)

  print(response.text)

  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl --request GET \
    --url https://api.portkey.ai/v1/analytics/groups/metadata/{metadataKey} \
    --header 'x-portkey-api-key: <api-key>'
  ```

  ```java Java theme={"system"}
  HttpResponse<String> response = Unirest.get("https://api.portkey.ai/v1/analytics/groups/metadata/{metadataKey}")
    .header("x-portkey-api-key", "<api-key>")
    .asString();
  ```

  ```go GO theme={"system"}
  package main

  import (
  	"fmt"
  	"net/http"
  	"io/ioutil"
  )

  func main() {

  	url := "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/analytics/groups/metadata/{metadataKey}"
  	req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)
  	req.Header.Add("x-portkey-api-key", "<api-key>")
  	res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
  	defer res.Body.Close()
  	body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)

  	fmt.Println(res)
  	fmt.Println(string(body))

  }

  ```

  ```js PHP theme={"system"}
  <?php

  $curl = curl_init();

  curl_setopt_array($curl, [
    CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/analytics/groups/metadata/{metadataKey}",
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
      "x-portkey-api-key: <api-key>"
    ],
  ]);

  $response = curl_exec($curl);
  $err = curl_error($curl);

  curl_close($curl);

  if ($err) {
    echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
  } else {
    echo $response;
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

# 4. Advanced Strategies for Performance Improvement
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/whitepapers/optimizing-llm-costs/advanced-strategies



While the FrugalGPT techniques provide a solid foundation for cost optimization, there are additional advanced strategies that can further enhance the performance of GenAI applications. These strategies focus on tailoring models to specific tasks, augmenting them with external knowledge, and accelerating inference.

Fine-tuning involves adapting a pre-trained model to a specific task or domain, potentially improving performance while using a smaller, more cost-effective model.

## 4.1 Benefits of Fine-tuning

* Improved accuracy on domain-specific tasks
* Reduced inference time and costs
* Potential for smaller model usage

## Implementation Considerations

1. **Data preparation**: Curate a high-quality dataset representative of your specific use case.
2. **Hyperparameter optimization**: Experiment with learning rates, batch sizes, and epochs to find the optimal configuration.
3. **Continuous evaluation**: Regularly assess the fine-tuned model's performance against the base model.

## Example Fine-tuning Process

Here's a basic example using Hugging Face's Transformers library:

```python theme={"system"}
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, Trainer, TrainingArguments

# Load pre-trained model and tokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("gpt2")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2")

# Prepare your dataset
train_dataset = ...  # Your custom dataset

# Define training arguments
training_args = TrainingArguments(
    output_dir="./results",
    num_train_epochs=3,
    per_device_train_batch_size=8,
    save_steps=10_000,
    save_total_limit=2,
)

# Create Trainer instance
trainer = Trainer(
    model=model,
    args=training_args,
    train_dataset=train_dataset,
)

# Fine-tune the model
trainer.train()

# Save the fine-tuned model
model.save_pretrained("./fine_tuned_model")
tokenizer.save_pretrained("./fine_tuned_model")
```

By fine-tuning models to your specific use case, you can achieve better performance with smaller, more efficient models.

## 4.2 Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)

RAG combines the power of LLMs with external knowledge retrieval, allowing models to access up-to-date information and reduce hallucinations.

## Key Components of RAG

1. **Document store**: A database of relevant documents or knowledge snippets.
2. **Retriever**: A system that finds relevant information based on the input query.
3. **Generator**: The LLM that produces the final output using the retrieved information.

## Benefits of RAG

* Improved accuracy and relevance of responses
* Reduced need for frequent model updates
* Ability to incorporate domain-specific knowledge

## Implementing RAG

Here's a basic example using Langchain:

```python theme={"system"}
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.chains import RetrievalQA

# Prepare your documents
with open('your_knowledge_base.txt', 'r') as f:
    raw_text = f.read()
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0)
texts = text_splitter.split_text(raw_text)

# Create embeddings and vector store
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
docsearch = Chroma.from_texts(texts, embeddings, metadatas=[{"source": str(i)} for i in range(len(texts))])

# Create a retrieval-based QA chain
qa = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(llm=OpenAI(), chain_type="stuff", retriever=docsearch.as_retriever())

# Use the RAG system
query = "What are the key benefits of RAG?"
result = qa.run(query)
print(result)
```

By implementing RAG, you can significantly enhance the capabilities of your LLM applications, providing more accurate and up-to-date information to users.

## 4.3 Accelerating Inference

Accelerating inference is crucial for reducing latency and operational costs. Several techniques and tools have emerged to optimize LLM inference speeds.

## Key Acceleration Techniques

1. **Quantization**: Reducing model precision without significant accuracy loss.
2. **Pruning**: Removing unnecessary weights from the model.
3. **Knowledge Distillation**: Training a smaller model to mimic a larger one.
4. **Optimized inference engines**: Using specialized software for faster inference.

## Popular Tools for Inference Acceleration

* **vLLM**: Offers up to 24x higher throughput with its PagedAttention method.
* **Text Generation Inference (TGI)**: Widely used for high-performance text generation.
* **ONNX Runtime**: Provides optimized inference across various hardware platforms.

## Example: Using vLLM for Faster Inference

Here's a basic example of using vLLM:

```python theme={"system"}
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

# Initialize the model
llm = LLM(model="facebook/opt-125m")

# Set up sampling parameters
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)

# Generate text
prompts = [
    "Once upon a time,",
    "In a galaxy far, far away,"
]
outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

# Print the generated text
for output in outputs:
    prompt = output.prompt
    generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
    print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}")
    print(f"Generated text: {generated_text!r}")
```

By implementing these acceleration techniques and using optimized tools, you can significantly reduce inference times and operational costs for your LLM applications.


# 5. Architectural Considerations
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/whitepapers/optimizing-llm-costs/architectural-considerations



When implementing GenAI solutions, architectural decisions play a crucial role in balancing performance, cost, and scalability. This section explores key architectural considerations that can significantly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of your LLM deployments.

## 5.1 Model Selection and Trade-offs

Selecting the right model for your use case involves careful consideration of various factors. This process is crucial for balancing performance, cost, and complexity in your LLM applications.

## Key Considerations

1. **Accuracy vs. Cost**: Larger models often provide higher accuracy but at a greater cost. Determine the minimum accuracy required for your application and choose a model that meets this threshold without unnecessary overhead.

2. **Latency vs. Complexity**: More complex models may offer better results but can introduce higher latency. For real-time applications, faster, simpler models might be preferable.

3. **Generalization vs. Specialization**: While general-purpose models like GPT-3 offer versatility, specialized models fine-tuned for specific tasks can provide better performance in their domain.

## Decision-Making Process

To make informed decisions:

* Conduct thorough benchmarking of different models for your specific use cases.
* Consider a multi-model approach, using smaller models for simple tasks and reserving larger models for complex queries.
* Regularly reassess model performance as new models and versions become available.

## Model Comparison Table

| Model | Size | Cost   | Typical Use Cases                                  |
| ----- | ---- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| GPT-3 | 175B | High   | General-purpose text generation, complex reasoning |
| BERT  | 340M | Low    | Text classification, named entity recognition      |
| T5    | 11B  | Medium | Text-to-text generation, summarization             |

By carefully considering these factors and regularly evaluating your model choices, you can optimize the balance between performance and cost in your LLM applications.

## 5.2 Creating a Model Garden

A model garden is a curated collection of AI models that developers can access and use within an organization. This approach offers several benefits for managing and optimizing LLM usage.

## Benefits of a Model Garden

1. **Flexibility**: Developers can choose the most appropriate model for each task.
2. **Cost Optimization**: By providing access to a range of models, organizations can ensure that expensive, high-performance models are only used when necessary.
3. **Experimentation**: A model garden facilitates easy testing and comparison of different models.

## Implementing a Model Garden

1. **Model Selection**: Choose a diverse range of models that cover various use cases and performance levels.
2. **API Standardization**: Create a unified API interface for accessing different models.
3. **Documentation**: Provide clear documentation on each model's capabilities, use cases, and cost implications.
4. **Monitoring**: Implement usage tracking to understand which models are being used and for what purposes.

## Example: Simple Model Garden API

Here's a basic example of how you might structure a model garden API:

```python theme={"system"}
class ModelGarden:
    def __init__(self):
        self.models = {
            "gpt-3": OpenAIModel("gpt-3"),
            "distilbert": HuggingFaceModel("distilbert-base-uncased"),
            "custom-fintuned": CustomModel("path/to/model")
        }

    def generate(self, model_name, prompt):
        if model_name not in self.models:
            raise ValueError(f"Model {model_name} not found in the garden")
        return self.models[model_name].generate(prompt)

# Usage
garden = ModelGarden()
response = garden.generate("distilbert", "Summarize this text:")
```

By implementing a model garden, organizations can provide their developers with a flexible, efficient, and cost-effective way to leverage various AI models in their applications.

## 5.3 Self-hosting vs. API Consumption

The decision between self-hosting LLMs and consuming them via APIs is crucial and depends on various factors. Each approach has its own set of advantages and challenges.

## Comparison

| Aspect             | Self-Hosting                                                  | API Consumption                                             |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| Control            | Greater control over the model and infrastructure             | Less control, dependent on provider                         |
| Cost               | Potential for lower long-term costs for high-volume usage     | Lower upfront costs, but potentially higher long-term costs |
| Privacy            | Enhanced data privacy and security                            | Data leaves your environment                                |

def generate_summary(text):
    prompt = f"""
Summarize the following text in 3 bullet points:
- Focus on key ideas
- Use concise language
- Maintain factual accuracy
Text: {text}
Summary:
"""
    return get_completion(prompt)

# Usage
text = "Your long text here..."
summary = generate_summary(text)
print(summary)
```

By following these prompt engineering strategies, developers can create more efficient and effective interactions with LLMs, reducing costs and improving the quality of outputs.

## 7.2 Optimizing JSON Responses

When working with structured data, optimizing JSON responses can lead to significant token savings.

## Optimization Techniques

1. **Minimize Whitespace**: Remove unnecessary spaces and line breaks.
2. **Use Short Keys**: Opt for concise property names.

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification

# Load the model
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-sst-2-english")

# Quantize the model
quantized_model = torch.quantization.quantize_dynamic(
    model, {torch.nn.Linear}, dtype=torch.qint8
)

# Save the quantized model
torch.save(quantized_model.state_dict(), "quantized_model.pth")
```

By considering edge deployment and implementing appropriate strategies, organizations can reduce latency, lower bandwidth requirements, and potentially decrease costs for certain LLM applications.

# 3. FrugalGPT Techniques for Cost Optimization
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/whitepapers/optimizing-llm-costs/frugalgpt-techniques



The FrugalGPT framework introduces three key techniques for reducing LLM inference costs while maintaining or even improving performance. Let's explore each of these in detail.

## 3.1 Prompt Adaptation

Prompt adaptation is a key technique in the FrugalGPT framework for reducing LLM inference costs while maintaining performance. It involves crafting concise, optimized prompts to minimize token usage and processing costs.

## Key Strategies

1. **Clear and concise instructions**: Eliminate unnecessary words or context that don't contribute to the desired output.

2. **Use of delimiters**: Clearly separate different parts of the prompt (e.g., context, instructions, input) using delimiters like "###" or "---".

3. **Structured prompts**: Organize information in a logical, easy-to-process format for the model.

4. **Iterative refinement**: Continuously test and refine prompts to achieve the desired output with minimal token usage.

## Example

Here's an example of prompt adaptation:

```
Before:
Please analyze the following customer review and provide a summary of the main points, including any positive or negative aspects mentioned, and suggest how the company could improve based on this feedback. Here's the review: [long customer review text]

After:
Summarize key points from this review:
Positive:
Negative:
Improvement suggestions:
###
[concise customer review text]
```

By adapting prompts in this way, you can significantly reduce token usage while still obtaining high-quality outputs from the model.

## 3.2 LLM Approximation

LLM approximation is a technique in the FrugalGPT framework that involves using caches and model fine-tuning to avoid repeated queries to expensive models. This approach can lead to substantial cost savings, especially for frequently asked questions or similar queries.

## Key Strategies

1. **Response caching**: Store responses to common queries for quick retrieval.

2. **Semantic caching**: Use similarity measures to return cached responses for semantically similar queries.

3. **Fine-tuning smaller models**: Train smaller, task-specific models on the outputs of larger models.

## Implementation Example

Here's a basic example of implementing semantic caching:

```python theme={"system"}
import numpy as np
from sklearn.metrics.pairwise import cosine_similarity
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2')

def get_embeddings(texts):
    # Implementation details...

cache = {}  # Simple in-memory cache

def semantic_cache_query(query):
    query_embedding = get_embeddings([query])[0]
    for cached_query, response in cache.items():
        cached_embedding = get_embeddings([cached_query])[0]
        similarity = cosine_similarity([query_embedding], [cached_embedding])[0][0]
        if similarity > 0.95:  # Adjust threshold as needed
            return response
    return None  # No similar query found in cache

# Usage
response = semantic_cache_query("What's the weather like today?")
if response is None:
    # Query the expensive LLM and cache the result
    response = expensive_llm_query("What's the weather like today?")
    cache["What's the weather like today?"] = response
print(response)
```

## 3.3 LLM Cascade

This approach can lead to significant cost savings, especially for applications with repetitive queries or similar user inputs.

The LLM cascade technique involves dynamically selecting the optimal set of LLMs to query based on the input. This approach leverages the strengths of different models while managing costs effectively.

## Key Components

1. **Task classifier**: Determines the complexity and nature of the input query.

2. **Model selector**: Chooses the appropriate model(s) based on the task classification.

3. **Confidence evaluator**: Assesses the confidence of each model's output.

4. **Escalation logic**: Decides whether to query a more powerful (and expensive) model based on confidence thresholds.

## Implementation Example

Here's a basic example of implementing an LLM cascade:

```python theme={"system"}
def classify_task(query):
    # Implement task classification logic
    pass

def select_model(task_type):
    # Choose appropriate model based on task type
    pass

def evaluate_confidence(model_output):
    # Implement confidence evaluation logic
    pass

def llm_cascade(query):
    task_type = classify_task(query)
    selected_model = select_model(task_type)
    response = selected_model.generate(query)
    confidence = evaluate_confidence(response)
    
    if confidence < CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD:
        # Escalate to more powerful model
        advanced_model = select_advanced_model(task_type)
        response = advanced_model.generate(query)
    
    return response

# Usage
result = llm_cascade("Explain quantum computing in simple terms")
print(result)
```

By implementing an LLM cascade, organizations can optimize their use of different models, ensuring that expensive, high-performance models are only used when necessary.

        super().__init__()
        self.num_heads = num_heads
        self.sparsity = sparsity
        self.attention = nn.MultiheadAttention(dim, num_heads)

    def forward(self, query, key, value):
        attn_mask = torch.rand(query.size(0), key.size(0)) > self.sparsity
        attn_output, _ = self.attention(query, key, value, attn_mask=attn_mask)
        return attn_output

# Usage
sparse_attn = SparseAttention(dim=512)
output = sparse_attn(query, key, value)
```

By staying informed about these emerging technologies, organizations can position themselves to take advantage of new opportunities for cost optimization and performance improvement in their GenAI initiatives.

# 2. Understanding LLM Cost Drivers
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/whitepapers/optimizing-llm-costs/llm-cost-drivers

An overview of the factors that influence costs in Large Language Model applications

Before diving into optimization strategies, it's crucial to understand the primary factors that drive costs in LLM applications. This knowledge forms the foundation for effective cost management and optimization efforts.

## Model Size and Complexity

The size of an LLM, typically measured by the number of parameters, is a significant cost driver. Larger models, while often more capable, come with higher computational requirements for both training and inference. This translates to increased costs in terms of:

* Hardware resources (GPUs, TPUs, etc.)
* Energy consumption
* Data center or cloud infrastructure

For example, GPT-3, with its 175 billion parameters, requires substantial computational power, making it considerably more expensive to run than smaller models.

## Input and Output Tokens

Most LLM providers, including OpenAI, charge based on the number of tokens processed. Tokens are units of text that the model processes, typically consisting of a few characters or a whole word. Costs are incurred for both:

* Input tokens: The text sent to the model (prompts, context, etc.)
* Output tokens: The text generated by the model

Understanding this pricing model is crucial, as it directly impacts how you structure your prompts and manage the model's output.

## API Calls and Usage Patterns

The frequency and volume of API calls to LLM services significantly affect costs. Factors to consider include:

* Number of users or applications accessing the model
* Frequency of queries
* Complexity of tasks (which may require multiple API calls)

Usage patterns can lead to unexpected cost spikes, especially if not properly monitored and managed.

## Hidden Costs in GenAI Implementations

Beyond the obvious costs of model usage, there are several hidden expenses that organizations often overlook:

1. Data preparation and management: Cleaning, formatting, and storing data for model training or fine-tuning.
2. Model evaluation and testing: Resources spent on ensuring model accuracy and performance.
3. Integration costs: Expenses related to incorporating GenAI into existing systems and workflows.
4. Talent acquisition and training: Hiring AI specialists or upskilling existing staff.
5. Compliance and security measures: Implementing safeguards to ensure responsible AI use and data protection.

By gaining a comprehensive understanding of these cost drivers, organizations can more effectively target their optimization efforts and make informed decisions about their GenAI investments.


# 6. Operational Best Pracitces
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/whitepapers/optimizing-llm-costs/operational-best-practices



Effective operation of GenAI applications is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and cost-efficiency over time. This section explores key operational best practices that can help organizations maximize the value of their LLM investments.

## 6.1 Monitoring and Governance

Implementing robust monitoring and governance practices is essential for maintaining control over GenAI usage and costs.

## Key Aspects of Monitoring and Governance

1. **Usage Tracking**: Monitor the number of API calls, token usage, and associated costs for each model and application.
2. **Performance Metrics**: Track response times, error rates, and model accuracy to ensure quality of service.
3. **Cost Allocation**: Implement systems to attribute costs to specific projects, teams, or business units.
4. **Alerting**: Set up alerts for unusual spikes in usage or costs to quickly identify and address issues.
5. **Compliance Monitoring**: Ensure that AI usage adheres to regulatory requirements and internal policies.

## Implementation Example

Here's a basic example using Prometheus and Flask for monitoring:

```python theme={"system"}
from prometheus_client import Counter, Histogram
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import time

app = Flask(__name__)

# Define metrics
API_CALLS = Counter('api_calls_total', 'Total number of API calls', ['model'])
TOKEN_USAGE = Counter('token_usage_total', 'Total number of tokens used', ['model'])
RESPONSE_TIME = Histogram('response_time_seconds', 'Response time in seconds', ['model'])

@app.route('/generate', methods=['POST'])
def generate():
    model_name = request.json['model']
    prompt = request.json['prompt']
    
    API_CALLS.labels(model=model_name).inc()
    
    start_time = time.time()
    response = generate_text(model_name, prompt)  # Your text generation function
    end_time = time.time()
    
    TOKEN_USAGE.labels(model=model_name).inc(len(response.split()))
    RESPONSE_TIME.labels(model=model_name).observe(end_time - start_time)
    
    return jsonify({"response": response})

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()
```

By implementing comprehensive monitoring and governance practices, organizations can maintain better control over their LLM usage, optimize costs, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

## 6.2 Caching Strategies

Implementing effective caching strategies can significantly reduce API calls and associated costs in LLM applications.

## Types of Caching

1. **Result Caching**: Store and reuse results for identical queries.
2. **Semantic Caching**: Cache results for semantically similar queries.
3. **Partial Result Caching**: Cache intermediate results for complex queries.

## Implementing a Semantic Cache

Here's a basic example of implementing a semantic cache:

```python theme={"system"}
import numpy as np
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

class SemanticCache:
    def __init__(self):
        self.cache = {}
        self.model = SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')

    def get(self, query):
        query_embedding = self.model.encode([query])[0]
        for cached_query, (cached_embedding, result) in self.cache.items():
            similarity = np.dot(query_embedding, cached_embedding)
            if similarity > 0.95:  # Adjust threshold as needed
                return result
        return None

    def set(self, query, result):
        query_embedding = self.model.encode([query])[0]
        self.cache[query] = (query_embedding, result)

# Usage
cache = SemanticCache()
result = cache.get("What's the weather like today?")
if result is None:
    result = expensive_api_call("What's the weather like today?")
    cache.set("What's the weather like today?", result)
print(result)
```

By implementing effective caching strategies, organizations can significantly reduce the number of API calls to their LLM services, leading to substantial cost savings and improved response times.

## 6.3 Automated Model Selection and Routing

Implementing an automated system for model selection and routing can optimize cost and performance based on the specific requirements of each query.

## Key Components

1. **Query Classifier**: Categorize incoming queries based on complexity, domain, etc.
2. **Model Selector**: Choose the appropriate model based on the query classification.
3. **Performance Monitor**: Track the performance of selected models for continuous improvement.

## Implementation Example

Here's a basic example of how you might implement automated model selection and routing:

```python theme={"system"}
class ModelRouter:
    def __init__(self):
        self.models = {
            "simple": SimpleModel(),
            "complex": ComplexModel(),
            "specialized": SpecializedModel()
        }

    def classify_query(self, query):
        # Implement query classification logic
        # This could be based on keywords, length, complexity, etc.
        if len(query.split()) < 10:
            return "simple"
        elif any(keyword in query.lower() for keyword in ["analyze", "compare", "explain"]):
            return "complex"

  </Note>

  <Note>
    **For air-gapped deployments, `Backend` version v1.5.0 is required as it adds new columns in the analytics store**
  </Note>

  ### Security Patch

  * Removed root user from container image (BREAKING CHANGE). The container image used by this chart no longer runs as root. The image now runs processes with a non-root UID and enforces a non-root container securityContext. Requires Helm repo upgrade (>app-1.4.0) to deploy the new image and chart settings.

  ### Usage and Rate Limit Policy

  * Introduced usage limits and rate limit policies, which allow organizations to apply flexible budget and rate limit controls based on dynamic conditions (API keys, metadata, workspace, etc.).

  * `v1` (default) - The object path will follow this structure: `30/<organisation-id>/<log-id>.json`
  * `v2` - The object path will follow this structure: `30/<organisation-id>/<workspace-slug>/<year>/<month>/<day>/<hour>/<log-id>.json`
    <Note>Changing the `LOG_STORE_FILE_PATH_FORMAT` environment variable only affects newly written logs. Previously written logs will retain their original path format and are not migrated to the new structure.</Note>
    <Note>The new v2 prefix structure is currently not supported for air-gapped deployments where `LOG_STORE` is set to `control_plane`. Support will be added in a future release.</Note>

  ### Redis Cache Optimization

  * Updated cache implementation to avoid redundant Redis calls to improve overall performance.

  ### VertexAI Service Account Token Caching

  * Implemented caching for Vertex service account token. Previously, tokens were being regenerated on every request despite having 1-hour validity.
  * This will reduce VertexAI request latency by 50-100ms per request.

  ### Provider Updates

  * **Google and VertexAI**
    * Handled tool call response parsing when there is one part tool call and one part text.

# Common Errors & Resolutions
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/support/common-errors-and-resolutions

Since Portkey functions as a gateway - you may encounter Portkey-related, as well as non-Portkey related errors while using our services.

## Identifying the error source

1. Errors exclusively originating from Portkey are **prefixed with "Portkey Error".**
2. While errors originating from your LLM providers (or frameworks) are **returned as they are**, without any transformations.

## How to verify if it's Portkey error

You can quickly verify if the problem is originating from Portkey by **running the same request without Portkey**. If it executes successfully, then it's likely that the error is with Portkey or its integration.

## Common Portkey Errors

1. **Errors related to Missing Mandatory Headers**: This is a common error where certain mandatory headers might be missing from the request. Make sure that all the necessary headers as specified in the respective feature documentation are included in your requests.
2. **Errors related to Invalid Header Values**: At times, an incorrect or unsupported value might be passed in a header, causing this error. Cross-check the values provided against the allowed ones mentioned in our documentation.

# Upgrade to Model Catalog
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/support/upgrade-to-model-catalog

Learn how to upgrade to Model Catalog to replace Virtual Keys

> We are thrilled to introduce the **Model Catalog**, a powerful new feature designed to give your organization end-to-end control, governance, and visibility over your AI models.
>
> The Model Catalog is the evolution of our Virtual Keys feature, built to handle the complexities of enterprise-scale AI operations.
>
> This guide will walk you through what the Model Catalog is, how it enhances your current workflow, and what the experience looks like for every user in your organization.

## Why Upgrade to the Model Catalog?

### First, What is the Model Catalog?

The Model Catalog fundamentally upgrades the Virtual Key experience by introducing a centralized, organization-level management layer. It addresses key governance pain points you have faced, allowing for:

1. **Centralized Provider Management:** Create a single (or multiple) provider integration (e.g., for Azure, OpenAI, Bedrock) at the organization level, and securely provision it to multiple workspaces without re-entering credentials.
2. **Workspace Provisioning:** Easily control which workspaces have access to which provider integrations, and set distinct budgets and rate limits for each workspace from a single screen.
3. **Granular Model Provisioning:** For any given provider integration, you can specify exactly which models (e.g., `gpt-4o`, `claude-4-sonnet`) are available, preventing users from accessing unapproved, expensive, or deprecated models.
4. **Simplified Model Calling:** Your developers can now switch between providers and models directly in their API call using a simple `model = "@provider/model_name"` format, without needing to manage different virtual keys or complex configs for simple requests.

### How It Enhances the Virtual Key Experience

The Model Catalog is designed to be a seamless upgrade. Here’s a quick comparison:

| Feature          | **Old Way (Virtual Keys)**                                                                                                   | **New Way (Model Catalog)**                                                                                                 |
| :--------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Creation**     | Manually create a virtual key in *each* workspace, even with the same credentials.                                           | Create one **Integration** at the Org level and **provision** it to many workspaces.                                        |
| **Budgeting**    | Budgets are set per virtual key. Managing shared provider costs across teams is difficult.                                   | At the org level directly, assign specific budgets/limits **per workspace**.                                                |
| **Model Access** | A virtual key grants access to all models available under that provider key. Control requires complex configs or guardrails. | Define an explicit allow-list of models for each **Integration**. Workspaces only see what you've enabled.                  |
| **Making Calls** | Use the `virtual_key` header or bind a virtual key to a config, then bind that to an API key.                                | Simply pass `model: "@provider_slug/model_slug"` in the request body. The old way still works perfectly.                    |
| **Visibility**   | Org Admins have no central view of all provider credentials being used across all workspaces.                                | Org Admins have a central **Integrations** dashboard to see all connected providers, including those created by workspaces. |

### Is It Backwards Compatible? (The Important Question)

**Yes, the Model Catalog is 100% backwards compatible.**

* Your existing Virtual Keys will be automatically migrated and will appear as "AI Providers" in the Model Catalog, scoped to their original workspace.
* **No code will break.** All your existing applications and scripts that use the `virtual_key` header in requests or configs will continue to work exactly as they do today.

You can adopt the new features at your own pace without any disruption to your production workloads.

## So, What Has Changed?

While the Model Catalog is an important upgrade, the transition is designed to be completely seamless. Here’s the most important thing you need to know:

* Your existing Virtual Keys have been automatically migrated. They are now called "AI Providers", and they keep their original slugs. All your existing code, configs, and prompts will continue to work without any changes.

With that key point in mind, let's explore the new capabilities this unlocks for every role in your organization and how your daily workflows are enhanced.

### The New Experience by Role

### For Organization Admins: Central Command & Control

As an Org Admin, you will see a new **Integrations** tab in your organization settings. This is your central hub for managing all LLM providers.

1. **Connect an Integration:** Instead of creating a virtual key in a workspace, you now "Connect" a provider here. The process of adding credentials is the same. You can create multiple integrations for the same provider (e.g., "Azure-Prod" and "Azure-Dev").
2. **Provision to Workspaces:** In the "Workspace Provisioning" step, you'll see a list of all your workspaces. You can toggle access for each one and set specific budgets and rate limits. You can also choose to automatically provision this integration for any new workspaces created in the future.
3. **Provision Models:** In the "Model Provisioning" step, you can specify exactly which models are accessible through this integration. You can choose to enable all models or select them individually.

There is also a "Workspace-Created" tab to view and manage any integrations created by Workspace Admins themselves, giving you full visibility.

#### For Workspace Admins: Inherit and Customize

As a Workspace Admin, you will now see **Model Catalog** on your sidebar. The old "Virtual Keys" will be marked as deprecated.

* **Inherited Providers:** In the "AI Providers" tab, you will automatically see all the integrations your Org Admin has provisioned for your workspace.
* **Creating New Providers:** You still have flexibility:
  1. **Inherit from Org:** You can create a new provider that inherits from an Org-level integration. This is useful for creating multiple providers with more restrictive budgets than the one assigned to your workspace.
  2. **Create a New Integration (The Old Way):** If enabled by your Org Admin, you can still create a brand new integration exclusively for your workspace, just like you created Virtual Keys before.

#### For Workspace Members (Developers): A Simpler, Better DX

As a developer, your experience is significantly streamlined.

* **The Model Garden:** A new "Models" tab provides a complete gallery of every single model you have access to across all providers in your workspace. You can click on any model to get ready-to-use code snippets.
* **Simplified API Calls:** You no longer need to worry about which virtual key to use for which model. With a single Portkey API key, you can call any model you have access to by specifying the provider and model in the `model` parameter:

  ```python theme={"system"}
  # Switch models and providers on the fly!
  client.chat.completions.create(
      model="@openai-prod/gpt-4o",
      messages=[...]
  )

  client.chat.completions.create(
      model="@bedrock-us/claude-3-sonnet-v1",
      messages=[...]
  )
  ```

***

### How Your Workflows Change: A Practical Guide

The Model Catalog enhances every area where you previously used Virtual Keys. Let's break down how each of your existing workflows translates to the new, more powerful system.

#### 1. From "Creating Virtual Keys" to "Creating AI Providers"

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="The Old Way">
    You created a Virtual Key inside a specific workspace. This had to be repeated for every workspace needing access to the same provider credentials.
  </Card>

  <Card title="The New Way">
    You now create a central **Integration** at the Org level and provision it to many workspaces. You can also still create workspace-only integrations, or "inherit" from an Org integration to create providers with stricter limits.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**What's Better?**
This "create once, provision many" model saves significant time, reduces the risk of configuration errors, and gives you a single place to manage provider credentials and model access for your entire organization.

***

#### 2. From "Sending Virtual Keys in Requests" to "Using the Model Parameter"

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="The Old Way">
    You sent the Virtual Key slug in the `virtual_key` header of your request.
  </Card>

  <Card title="The New Way">
    The `virtual_key` header is fully backward compatible and will continue to work. However, the recommended and more powerful method is to specify the provider and model directly in the `model` parameter of your request body.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

We've renamed "Virtual Keys" to **AI Providers** at the workspace level. To reference one in a request, you simply prefix its slug with an `@` symbol in your inference requests.

**What's Better?**
This method is more explicit and keeps all model-related information in one place—the `model` parameter. It eliminates the need for a separate header and makes switching between models and providers incredibly simple.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Portkey & OpenAI Python SDK theme={"system"}
  # Note: Your AI Provider slug is "my-azure-prod"
  # Note: The model you want to use is "gpt-4o"

  response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="@my-azure-prod/gpt-4o",  # The new, recommended format
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  )
  ```

  ```javascript Portkey & OpenAI Node.js SDK theme={"system"}
  // Note: Your AI Provider slug is "my-azure-prod"
  // Note: The model you want to use is "gpt-4o"

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    model: "@my-azure-prod/gpt-4o", // The new, recommended format
    messages: [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
  });
  ```

  ```bash REST API (cURL) theme={"system"}
  # Note: Your AI Provider slug is "my-azure-prod"
  # Note: The model you want to use is "gpt-4o"

  curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-portkey-api-key: YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "@my-azure-prod/gpt-4o",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hello!"
      }
    ]
  }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

***

#### 3. From "Using Virtual Keys in Configs" to "Using Models in Configs"

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="The Old Way">
    You added a `virtual_key` field to your Portkey Config, either at the root level or inside a strategy target (like fallback or load balance).
  </Card>

  <Card title="The New Way">
    This continues to work perfectly. For new configs, you can now specify the `model` directly in a target's `override_params`. This unlocks powerful, multi-provider strategies.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**What's Better?**
You are no longer limited to falling back between virtual keys of the same provider. You can now create a fallback strategy from an Azure OpenAI deployment to a direct OpenAI integration, or from Bedrock to Google AI, all within a single, elegant config.

**Example: Multi-Provider Fallback Config**

Here’s a config that tries a model on Azure first. If that fails, it automatically falls back to the same model on AWS Bedrock.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback",
    "on_status_codes": [429, 500, 503]
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      // Target 1: Try Azure first
      "override_params": {
        "model": "@azure-us-east/gpt-4o"
      }
    },
    {
      // Target 2: Fallback to Bedrock if Azure fails
      "override_params": {
        "model": "@bedrock-main/anthropic.claude-3-sonnet-20240229-v1:0"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

When you make a request using this config, you don't need to specify a model at all. Portkey handles the complex routing for you.

***

#### 4. From "Using Virtual Keys in Prompts" to... Nothing!

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="The Old Way">
    When creating a prompt template, you selected a Virtual Key from a dropdown to power the prompt.
  </Card>

  <Card title="The New Way">
    **No action is required from you.** We've handled this automatically.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**What's Better?**
A seamless, zero-effort migration. Your existing prompt templates have been automatically updated behind the scenes to use the new AI Provider system. They will continue to work exactly as before without any changes on your end. When creating new prompts, you'll now select from a list of AI Providers.

***

### How to Get Started

The Model Catalog is currently available as a feature-flagged release.

1. **Contact Us:** Reach out to the Portkey team [here](https://portkey.wiki/community), and we will enable the Model Catalog for your organization.
2. **Test in a Dev Org:** We recommend enabling it for a non-production or sandbox organization first. This allows you to explore the new workflows, set up your first Org-level integrations, and prepare your teams.
3. **Plan Your Rollout:** Once you're comfortable, we can enable it for your production organization. You can then begin to migrate your workspace-level virtual keys to centrally managed integrations.

We are incredibly excited for you to experience the next level of control and efficiency with the Portkey Model Catalog.


# December '23 Migration
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/support/portkeys-december-migration



> **Date: 8th Dec, 2023**

This December, we're pushing out some exciting new updates to Portkey's **SDKs**, **APIs**, and **Configs**.

<Check>
  [**Portkey's SDKs**](/support/portkeys-december-migration#major-version-release-of-the-sdk) are upped to ***major version 1.0*** bringing parity with the new OpenAI SDK structure and adding Portkey production features to it. We are also bringing native Langchain & Llamaindex integrations inside the SDK. This is a **Breaking Change** that **Requires Migration**.
</Check>

<Check>
  [**Portkey's APIs**](/support/portkeys-december-migration#all-new-apis)are upgraded with ***new endpoints***, making it simpler to do `/chat/completions` and `/completions` calls and adding Portkey's production functionalities to them.

  This is a **Breaking Change** that **Requires Migration**.
</Check>

<Check>
  [**Configs**](/support/portkeys-december-migration#configs-2.0) are upgraded to ***version*** ***2.0***, bringing nested gateway strategies with granular handling. For Configs saved in the Portkey dashboard, this is **NOT a Breaking Change** and we will **Auto Migrate** your old Configs. For Configs directly defined at the time of making a call, through the old SDKs or old APIS, they **will fail** on the new APIs & SDKs and **require migration**.
</Check>

## All-New APIs

### Here's What's New:

1. Introduced 3 new routes `/chat/completions`, `/completions`, and `/embeddings`
2. Simplified the headers:
   1. `x-portkey-mode` header is deprecated and replaced with `x-portkey-provider`
      1. Which takes values: `openai`, `anyscale`, `cohere,` `palm`, `azure-openai`, and more.
   2. New header `x-portkey-virtual-key` is introduced.
3. `/complete` and `/chatComplete` endpoints to be deprecated soon
4. Prompts endpoint `/prompts/$PROMPT_ID/generate` is upgraded to `/prompts/$PROMPT_ID/completions` and the old route will be deprecated soon
   1. We now support updating the model params on-the-fly (i.e. changing temperature etc at the time of making a call)
   2. Prompt response object on the `/completions` route is now fully OpenAI compliant
5. New `/gateway` endpoint that lets you make calls to third-party LLM providers easily

## Configs 2.0

### Here's What's New

1. New concept of `strategy` instead of standalone `mode`. You can now build bespoke gateway strategies and nest them in a single config.
2. You can also trigger a specific strategy on specific error codes.
3. New concept of `targets` that replace `options` in the previous Config
4. If you are adding `virtual_key` to the target array, you no longer need to add `provider`,Portkey will pick up the Provider directly from the Virtual Key!
5. For Azure, only now pass the `virtual_key` - it takes care of all other Azure params like Deployment name, API version etc.

<Info>
  The Configs UI on Portkey app will autocomplete Configs ONLY in the new format now. All your existing Configs are auto migrated.

# Authentication
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/authentication



To ensure secure access to Portkey's APIs, authentication is required for all requests. This guide provides the necessary steps to authenticate your requests using the Portkey API key, regardless of whether you are using the SDKs for Python and JavaScript, the OpenAI SDK, or making REST API calls directly.

## Obtaining Your API Key

[Create](https://app.portkey.ai/signup) or [log in](https://app.portkey.ai/login) to your Portkey account. Grab your account's API key from the "Settings" page.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Based on your access level, you might see the relevant permissions on the API key modal - tick the ones you'd like, name your API key, and save it.

## Authentication with SDKs

### Portkey SDKs

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```ts theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // Replace with your actual API key
        virtualKey: "VIRTUAL_KEY"  // Optional: Use for virtual key management
    })

    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
        model: 'gpt-4o',
    });

    console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    client = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your actual API key
        provider="@VIRTUAL_KEY"   # Optional: Use if virtual keys are set up
    )

### OpenAI SDK

When integrating Portkey through the OpenAI SDK, modify the base URL and add the `x-portkey-api-key` header for authentication. Here's an example of how to do it:

<Info>
  We use the `createHeaders` helper function from the Portkey SDK here to easily create Portkey headers.

  You can pass the raw headers (`x-portkey-api-key`, `x-portkey-provider`) directly in the `defaultHeaders` param as well.

## JWT-based Authentication

Portkey supports JWT-based authentication as a secure alternative to API Key authentication. With JWT authentication, clients can authenticate API requests using a JWT token that is validated against a configured JWKS (JSON Web Key Set).

This enterprise-grade authentication method is available as an add-on to any Portkey plan. JWT authentication provides enhanced security through:

* Temporary, expiring tokens
* Fine-grained permission scopes
* User identity tracking
* Centralized authentication management

### Notes

* The strategy `mode` key determines the operational mode of the config. If strategy `mode` is not specified, a single provider mode is assumed, requiring either `provider` and `api_key` or `virtual_key`.
* In `loadbalance` and `fallback` modes, the `targets` array specifies the configurations for each target.
* The `cache` and `retry` objects provide additional configurations for caching and retry policies, respectively.

# Errors
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/error-codes



Portkey uses conventional response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general: Codes in the `2xx` range indicate success. Codes in the `4xx` range indicate an error that failed given the information provided. Codes in the `5xx` range indicate an error with Portkey’s servers (these are rare).

## Common Errors

During request processing, you may encounter error codes from either Portkey or the LLM provider:

| Status Code | Description                                  | Source              |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| `408`       | Request timed out                            | Portkey OR Provider |
| `412`       | Budget exhausted                             | Portkey OR Provider |
| `429`       | Request rate limited                         | Portkey OR Provider |
| `446`       | Guardrail checks failed (request denied)     | Portkey             |
| `246`       | Guardrail checks failed (request successful) | Portkey             |

<Note>
  Provider-specific error codes are passed through by Portkey. For debugging these errors, refer to our [Error Library](https://portkey.ai/error-library).

# Gateway to Other APIs
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/gateway-for-other-apis

Access any custom provider endpoint through Portkey API

<Note>
  This feature is available on all Portkey plans.
</Note>

Portkey API has first-class support for monitoring and routing your requests to 10+ provider endpoints, like `/chat/completions`, `/audio`, `/embeddings`, etc. We also make these endpoints work across 250+ different LLMs.

**However**, there are still many endpoints like Cohere's `/rerank` or Deepgram's `/listen` that are uncommon or have niche use cases.

With the **Gateway to Other APIs** feature, you can route to any custom provider endpoint using Portkey (including the ones hosted on your private setups) and get **complete logging & monitoring** for all your requests.

## Supported HTTP Methods

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="POST" />

  <Card title="GET" />

  <Card title="PUT" />

  <Card title="DELETE" />
</CardGroup>

Both the REST API and Portkey SDKs (Python, NodeJS) support all of these HTTP methods.

# How to Integrate

1. Get your Portkey API key
2. Add your provider details to Portkey
3. Make your request using Portkey's API or SDK

## 1. Get Portkey API Key

Create or log in to your Portkey account. Grab your account's API key from the ["API Keys" page](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys).

## 2. Add Provider Details

Choose one of these authentication methods:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Option 1. Generate a Virtual Key (Recommended)">
    Portkey integrates with 40+ LLM providers. Add your provider credentials (such as API key) to Portkey, and get a virtual key that you can use to authenticate and send your requests.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
      curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/rerank \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
        -H "x-portkey-virtual-key: $PORTKEY_PROVIDER" \
      ```

      ```py Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
        api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        virtual_key = "PROVIDER"
      )
      ```

      ```ts JavaScript theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
        virtualKey: 'PROVIDER'
      });
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    <Note>
      Creating virtual keys lets you:

      * Manage all credentials in one place
      * Rotate between different provider keys
      * Set custom budget limits & rate limits per key
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Option 2. Direct Provider Auth">
    Set the provider name from one of Portkey's 40+ supported providers list and use your provider credentials directly with each request.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
      curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/rerank \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
        -H "x-portkey-provider: cohere" \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer $COHERE_API_KEY" \
      ```

      ```py Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
        api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider = "cohere",
        Authorization = "Bearer COHERE_API_KEY"
      )
      ```

      ```ts JavaScript theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
        provider: "cohere",
        Authorization: "Bearer COHERE_API_KEY"
      });
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Option 3. Custom Hosted Endpoint">
    Route to your privately hosted model endpoints.

    * Choose a compatible provider type (e.g., `openai`, `cohere`)
    * Provide your endpoint URL with `customHost`
    * Include `Authentication` if needed

    <CodeGroup>
      ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
      curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/rerank \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
        -H "x-portkey-provider: cohere" \
        -H "x-portkey-custom-host: https://182.145.24.5:8080/v1" \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer $COHERE_API_KEY" \
      ```

      ```py Python theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
        api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        provider = "cohere",
        custom_host = "https://182.145.24.5:8080/v1",
        Authorization = "Bearer COHERE_API_KEY"
      )
      ```

      ```ts JavaScript theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
        provider: "cohere",
        customHost: "https://182.145.24.5:8080/v1",
        Authorization: "Bearer COHERE_API_KEY"
      });
      ```

# Caveats & Considerations

* Response objects are returned exactly as received from the provider, without Portkey transformations
* REST API supports all HTTP methods: `POST`, `GET`, `PUT`, and `DELETE`
* SDK supports all HTTP methods: `POST`, `GET`, `PUT`, and `DELETE`
* There are no limitations on which provider endpoints can be proxied
* All requests are logged and monitored through your Portkey dashboard

# Headers
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/headers

Header requirements and options for the Portkey API

Portkey API accepts 4 kinds of headers for your requests:

|                                                           |            |                                                                |
| :-------------------------------------------------------- | :--------- | :------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Portkey Authentication Header                             | `Required` | For Portkey auth                                               |
| Provider Authentication Headers OR Cloud-Specific Headers | `Required` | For provider auth                                              |
| Additional Portkey Headers                                | `Optional` | To pass `config`, `metadata`, `trace id`, `cache refresh` etc. |
| Custom Headers                                            | `Optional` | To forward any other headers directly                          |

## Portkey Authentication

### Portkey API Key

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-api-key / api_key / apiKey" type="string">
  Authenticate your requests with your Portkey API key. Obtain API key from the [Portkey dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys).<br />
  Environment variable: `PORTKEY_API_KEY`

  <Accordion title="Example">
    <CodeGroup>
      ```sh cURL {2} theme={"system"}
      curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
        -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      ```

      ```py Python {4} theme={"system"}
      from portkey_ai import Portkey

      portkey = Portkey(
        api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY" # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
      )
      ```

      ```js JavaScript {4} theme={"system"}
      import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

      const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY' // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
      });
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Accordion>
</ResponseField>

## Provider Authentication

In addition to the Portkey API key, you must provide information about the AI provider you're using. There are **4** ways to do this:

### 1. Provider Slug + Auth

Useful if you do not want to save your API keys to Portkey vault and make direct requests.

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-provider / provider" type="string">
  Specifies the provider you're using (e.g., `openai`, `anthropic`, `vertex-ai`).<br />
  List of [Portkey supported providers here](/integrations/llms).
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Authorization" type="string">
  Pass the auth details for the specified provider as a `"Bearer $TOKEN"`.<br /><br />
  If your provider expects their auth with headers such as `x-api-key` or `api-key`, you can pass the token with the `Authorization` header directly and Portkey will convert it into the provider-specific format.
</ResponseField>

<Accordion title="Example">
  <CodeGroup>
    ```sh cURL {3,4} theme={"system"}
    curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      -H "x-portkey-provider: openai" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
    ```

    ```py Python {5,6} theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
      api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
      provider = "openai",
      Authorization = "Bearer OPENAI_API_KEY"
    )
    ```

    ```js JavaScript {5,6} theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

    const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY', // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
      provider: 'openai',
      Authorization: 'Bearer OPENAI_API_KEY'
    });
    ```
  </CodeGroup>
</Accordion>

### 2. Virtual Key

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-virtual-key / virtual_key / virtualKey" type="string">
  Save your provider auth on Portkey and use a virtual key to directly make a call. [Docs](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys))
</ResponseField>

<Accordion title="Example">
  <CodeGroup>
    ```sh cURL {3} theme={"system"}
    curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      -H "x-portkey-virtual-key: openai-virtual-key" \
    ```

    ```py Python {5} theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
      api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
      virtual_key = "openai-virtual-key"
    )
    ```

    ```js JavaScript {5} theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

    const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY', // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
      virtualKey: 'openai-virtual-key'
    });
    ```
  </CodeGroup>
</Accordion>

### 3. Config

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-config / config" type="string or JSON">
  Pass your Portkey config with this header. Accepts a `JSON object` or a `config ID` that can also contain gateway configuration settings, and provider details.<br />

  * Configs can be saved in the Portkey UI and referenced by their ID ([Docs](/product/ai-gateway/configs))
  * Configs also enable other optional features like Caching, Load Balancing, Fallback, Retries, and Timeouts.
</ResponseField>

<Accordion title="Example">

      config: 'openai-config'
    // You can also send raw JSON
    // config: {"provider": "openai", "api_key": "OPENAI_API_KEY"}
    });
    ```
  </CodeGroup>
</Accordion>

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-custom-host / custom_host / customHost" type="string">
  Specifies the base URL where you want to send your request
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-provider / provider" type="string">
  Target provider that's availabe on your base URL. If you are unsure of which target provider to set, you can set `openai`.

    ```
  </CodeGroup>
</Accordion>

## Custom Headers

You can pass any other headers your API expects by directly forwarding them without any processing by Portkey.<br />
This is especially useful if you want to pass send sensitive headers.

### Forward Headers

<ResponseField name="x-portkey-forward-headers / forward_headers / forwardHeaders" type="array of strings">
  Pass all the headers you want to forward directly in this array. ([Docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/welcome/integration-guides/byollm#forward-sensitive-headers-securely))
</ResponseField>

<Accordion title="Example">
  <CodeGroup>
    ```sh cURL {4-6} theme={"system"}
    curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
      -H "x-portkey-virtual-key: openai-virtual-key" \
      -H "X-Custom-Header: ...."\
      -H "Another-Header: ....."\
      -H "x-portkey-forward-headers: ['X-Custom-Header', 'Another-Header']" \
    ```

    ```py Python {6} theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
      api_key = "PORTKEY_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
      virtual_key = "openai-virtual-key",
      X_Custom_Header = "....",
      Another_Header = "....",
      forward_headers = ['X_Custom_Header', 'Another_Header']
    )
    ```

    ```js JavaScript {6} theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

    const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY', // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
      virtualKey: "openai-virtual-key",
      CustomHeader: "....",
      AnotherHeader: "....",
      forwardHeaders: ['CustomHeader', 'AnotherHeader']
    });
    ```
  </CodeGroup>

  <Note>
    #### Python Usage

    With the Python SDK, you need to transform your headers to **Snake Case** and then include them while initializing the Portkey client.
    Example: If you have a header of the format `X-My-Custom-Header`, it should be sent as `X_My_Custom_Header` in the SDK

    #### JavaScript Usage

    With the JS SDK, you need to transform your headers to **Camel Case** and then include them while initializing the Portkey client.
    Example: If you have a header of the format `X-My-Custom-Header`, it should be sent as `xMyCustomHeader` in the SDK
  </Note>
</Accordion>

## Cloud-Specific Headers (`Azure`, `Google`, `AWS`)

Pass more configuration headers for `Azure OpenAI`, `Google Vertex AI`, or `AWS Bedrock`

### Azure

* `x-portkey-azure-resource-name`, `x-portkey-azure-deployment-id`, `x-portkey-azure-api-version`, `Authorization`, `x-portkey-azure-model-name`

### Google Vertex AI

* `x-portkey-vertex-project-id`, `x-portkey-vertex-region`, `X-Vertex-AI-LLM-Request-Type`

### AWS Bedrock

* `x-portkey-aws-session-token`, `x-portkey-aws-secret-access-key`, `x-portkey-aws-region`, `x-portkey-aws-session-token`

***

## List of All Headers

The following is a comprehensive list of headers that can be used when initializing the Portkey client.

Portkey adheres to language-specific naming conventions:

* **camelCase** for **JavaScript/Node.js** parameters
* **snake\_case** for **Python** parameters
* **hyphenated-keys** for **HTTP headers**

# Introduction
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/introduction

This documentation provides detailed information about the various ways you can access and interact with Portkey - **a robust AI gateway** designed to simplify and enhance your experience with Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI's GPT models. 

Whether you're integrating directly with OpenAI, using a framework like Langchain or LlamaIndex, or building standalone applications, Portkey offers a flexible, secure, and efficient way to manage and deploy AI-powered features.

## 3 Ways to Integrate Portkey

Portkey can be accessed through three primary methods, each catering to different use cases and integration requirements:

### 1. Portkey SDKs (Python and JavaScript)

**Ideal for:** standalone applications or when you're not already using the OpenAI integration. The SDKs are also highly recommended for seamless integration with frameworks like Langchain and LlamaIndex.

The Portkey SDKs are available in Python and JavaScript, designed to provide a streamlined, code-first approach to integrating LLMs into your applications.

#### Installing the SDK

Choose the SDK that matches your development environment:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    npm install portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    pip install portkey_ai
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

#### Usage

Once installed, you can use the SDK to make calls to LLMs, manage prompts, handle keys, and more, all through a simple and intuitive API.

### 2. OpenAI SDK through the Portkey Gateway

**Ideal for:** if you're currently utilizing OpenAI's Python or Node.js SDKs. By changing the base URL and adding Portkey-specific headers, you can quickly integrate Portkey's features into your existing setup.

Learn more [here](/integrations/llms/openai).

### 3. REST API

**Ideal for:** applications that prefer RESTful services. The base URL for all REST API requests is `https://api.portkey.ai/v1`, with an [authentication](/api-reference/inference-api/authentication) header.

Learn more [here](/api-reference/inference-api/chat).

    Passing the `{promptId}` always calls the `Published` version of your prompt.

    But, you can also call a specific template version by appending its version number, like `{promptId@12}`:

    **Version Tags**:

    * `@latest`: Calls the <Tooltip>most recent version</Tooltip>
    * `@{NUMBER}` (like `@12`): Calls the specified version number
    * `No Suffix`: Here, Portkey defaults to the `Published` version

# Prompt Render
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/prompts/render

post /prompts/{promptId}/render
Renders a prompt template with its variable values filled in


Given a prompt ID, variable values, and *optionally* any hyperparameters, this API returns a JSON object containing the **raw prompt template**.

<Note>
  Note: Unlike inference requests, Prompt Render API calls are processed through Portkey's Control Plane services.
</Note>

<Accordion icon="lightbulb" title="Example: Using Prompt Render output in a new request">
  Here’s how you can take the output from the `render API` and use it for making a separate LLM call. We’ll take example of OpenAI SDKs, but you can use it simlarly for any other frameworks like Langchain etc. as well.

  <CodeGroup>
    ```py OpenAI Python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey
    from openai import OpenAI

    # Retrieving the Prompt from Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(

    )

    render_response = portkey.prompts.render(
      prompt_id="PROMPT_ID",
      variables={ "movie":"Dune 2" }
    )

    PROMPT_TEMPLATE = render_response.data

    # Making a Call to OpenAI with the Retrieved Prompt

# Response Schema
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/inference-api/response-schema



With each request, Portkey sends back **Portkey-specific** headers that can help you identify the state of specific Portkey features you are using.

We send the following 4 response headers:

| Header                             | Value                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| :--------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `x-portkey-trace-id`               | Returns a `unique trace id` for each response. In case the user has already sent a trace id with x-portkey-trace-id in their `request body,` then that is used here instead of generating a new id.                                                                                                                                                                   |
| `x-portkey-retry-attempt-count`    | Returns the number of `retry attempts` made for the call. Request made for the first time is not counted, `only` the attempts are counted. So, if the value is 3, that means that a total of 4 (1+3) calls were made.                                                                                                                                                 |
| `x-portkey-cache-status`           | Returns the `cache status` for the call. • HIT (simple cache hit) • SEMANTIC HIT (semantic cache hit) • MISS (simple cache header was sent in the request, but returned a miss) • SEMANTIC MISS (semantic cache header was sent in the request, but returned a miss) • DISABLED (no cache header sent) • REFRESH (cache force refresh was true in the request header) |
| `x-portkey-last-used-option-index` | Returns the nested `target index` (as jsonpath) for the Config id used while making the call.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

## Supported Clients

|                   |                   |
| ----------------- | ----------------- |
| `ChatClient`      | ✅ Fully Supported |
| `EmbeddingClient` | ✅ Fully Supported |
| `ImageClient`     | 🚧 Coming Soon    |
| `BatchClient`     | 🚧 Coming Soon    |
| `AudioClient`     | 🚧 Coming Soon    |

## Implementation Overview

1. Install OpenAI SDK
2. Create Portkey client by extending OpenAI client
3. Use the client in your application to make requests

### 1. Install the NuGet package

Add the OpenAI [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/) package to your .NET project:

```sh theme={"system"}
dotnet add package OpenAI
```

### 2. Create Portkey Client Extension

The OpenAI package does not support directly modifying the base URL or passing additional headers. So, we write a simple function to extend OpenAI's `ChatClient` or `EmbeddingClient` to create a new `PortkeyClient`.

    ```csharp theme={"system"}
    using OpenAI;
    using OpenAI.Chat;
    using System.ClientModel;
    using System.ClientModel.Primitives;

    public static class PortkeyClient
    {
        private class HeaderPolicy : PipelinePolicy
        {
            private readonly Dictionary<string, string> _headers;
            public HeaderPolicy(Dictionary<string, string> headers) => _headers = headers;

### 3. Use the Portkey Client

After creating the extension above, you can pass any [Portkey supported headers](/api-reference/inference-api/headers) directly while creating the new client.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Chat">
    ```csharp theme={"system"}
    // Define Portkey headers
    var headers = new Dictionary<string, string> {
        // Required headers
        { "x-portkey-api-key", "..." },           // Your Portkey API key
        { "x-portkey-provider", "@openai-prod" }, // Provider slug from Model Catalog

        // Optional headers
        { "x-portkey-trace-id", "my-app" },       // Custom trace identifier
        { "x-portkey-config", "..." },            // Send Config ID
        // Add any other Portkey headers as needed
    };

    // Create client
    var client = PortkeyClient.CreateChatClient(
        headers: headers,
        model: "gpt-4o"
    );

    // Make request
    var response = client.CompleteChat(new UserChatMessage("Hello!"));
    Console.WriteLine(response.Value.Content[0].Text);
    ```

    <Tip>
      Add providers in the [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog) to get a provider slug (e.g., `@openai-prod`). The legacy `x-portkey-virtual-key` header is still supported.
    </Tip>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Embedding">
    ```csharp theme={"system"}
    // Define Portkey headers
    var headers = new Dictionary<string, string> {
        // Required headers
        { "x-portkey-api-key", "..." },           // Your Portkey API key
        { "x-portkey-provider", "@openai-prod" }, // Provider slug from Model Catalog

        // Optional headers
        { "x-portkey-trace-id", "..." },          // Custom trace identifier
        { "x-portkey-config", "..." },            // Send Config ID
        // Add any other Portkey headers as needed
    };

    // Create embedding client through Portkey
    var client = PortkeyClient.CreateEmbeddingClient(
        headers: headers,
        model: "text-embedding-3-large"
    );

    // Text that we want to embed
    string description = "Best hotel in town if you like luxury hotels. They have an amazing infinity pool, a spa,"
        + " and a really helpful concierge. The location is perfect -- right downtown, close to all the tourist"
        + " attractions. We highly recommend this hotel.";

    // Generate embedding
    var embeddingResult = client.GenerateEmbedding(description);
    var vector = embeddingResult.Value.ToFloats();

    Console.WriteLine($"Full embedding dimensions: {vector.Length}");
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Info>
  While we show common headers here, you can pass any Portkey-supported headers to enable features like custom metadata, fallbacks, caching, retries, and more.

### 4. View Your Request in Portkey Logs

This request will now be logged on Portkey:

        options.AddPolicy(new HeaderPolicy(headers), PipelinePosition.PerCall);
        return new OpenAIClient(new ApiKeyCredential("dummy"), options).GetChatClient(model);
    }
}

public class Program

    public static void Main()
    {
        var client = Portkey.CreateChatClient(
            headers: new Dictionary<string, string> {

                { "x-portkey-provider", "@azure-openai-prod" }, // Provider slug from Model Catalog
                { "x-portkey-trace-id", "dotnet" }
            },
            model: "gpt-4o" // Model name configured in your Azure deployment
        );

        Console.WriteLine(client.CompleteChat(new UserChatMessage("1729")).Value.Content[0].Text);

## Microsoft Semantic Kernel Example

We can make use of the [Portkey client we created above](/api-reference/inference-api/sdks/c-sharp#2-create-portkey-client-extension) to initialize the Semantic Kernel.
(Please make use of the `CreateClient` method and not `CreateChatClient` method to create the client)

```csharp [expandable] theme={"system"}
using Microsoft.SemanticKernel;
using Microsoft.SemanticKernel.ChatCompletion;

public class Program
{
    public static async Task Main()
    {
        var headers = new Dictionary<string, string> {
            // Required headers
            { "x-portkey-api-key", "..." },           // Your Portkey API key
            { "x-portkey-provider", "@openai-prod" }, // Provider slug from Model Catalog

            // Optional headers
            // { "x-portkey-trace-id", "my-app" },    // Custom trace identifier
            // { "x-portkey-config", "..." },         // Send Config ID
            // Add any other Portkey headers as needed
        };

        // Create client
        var client = PortkeyClient.CreateClient(headers);

        var builder = Kernel.CreateBuilder().AddOpenAIChatCompletion("gpt-4", client);
        Kernel kernel = builder.Build();
        var chatCompletionService = kernel.GetRequiredService<IChatCompletionService>();

        var history = new ChatHistory();

        // Initiate a back-and-forth chat
        string? userInput;
        do {
            // Collect user input
            Console.Write("User > ");
            userInput = Console.ReadLine();

            // Add user input
            history.AddUserMessage(userInput);

            // Get the response from the AI
            var result = await chatCompletionService.GetChatMessageContentAsync(
                history,
                null,
                kernel: kernel);

            // Print the results
            Console.WriteLine("Assistant > " + result);

            // Add the message from the agent to the chat history
            history.AddMessage(result.Role, result.Content ?? string.Empty);
        } while (userInput is not null);
    }
}
```

## More Features

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Async Usage">
    You can also use the `PortkeyClient` to send `Async` requests:

    ```csharp theme={"system"}
    var completion = await client.CompleteChatAsync(new UserChatMessage("Hello!"));
    Console.WriteLine(completion.Value.Content[0].Text);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Multi-Turn Conversation">
    Use the `SystemChatMessage` and `UserChatMessage` properties from the OpenAI package to create multi-turn conversations:

    ```csharp theme={"system"}
    var messages = new List<ChatMessage>
    {
        new SystemChatMessage("You are a helpful assistant."),
        new UserChatMessage("What is the capital of France?")
    };

    var completion = client.CompleteChat(messages);
    messages.Add(new AssistantChatMessage(completion));
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Call Anthropic Models">
    Switching providers is just a matter of swapping out your virtual key. Change the virtual key to Anthropic, set the model name, and start making requests to Anthropic from the OpenAI .NET library.

1. [Create a Portkey API key](https://app.portkey.ai) in your dashboard.
2. Store your API key securely as an environment variable:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh macOS/Linux theme={"system"}
  export PORTKEY_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
  ```

  ```sh Windows(PowerShell) theme={"system"}
  setx PORTKEY_API_KEY "your_api_key_here"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>The SDK automatically detects your API key from the environment.</Info>

***

## Quickstart

Here's a minimal example to get you started:

```ts theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
  provider: '@openai-prod' // Provider slug from Model Catalog
});

const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello, world!' }],
  model: 'gpt-4o'
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

<Info>Add providers in the [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog) to get a provider slug (e.g., `@openai-prod`). You can also use a [Config](/api-reference/inference-api/config-object) for advanced routing.</Info>

## Authentication & Configuration

The SDK requires:

* **Portkey API Key**: Your Portkey API key (env var `PORTKEY_API_KEY` recommended)
* **Provider Authentication**:
  * **Provider Slug**: Add a provider in [Model Catalog](/product/model-catalog) and use its slug (recommended)
  * **Config**: The [Config object](/api-reference/inference-api/config-object) or config slug for advanced routing
  * **Provider Slug + Auth Headers**: Useful if you do not want to save your API keys to Portkey and make direct requests.

````ts theme={"system"}
// With Provider Slug
const portkey = new Portkey({ apiKey: '...', provider: 'openai' });

// With Config
const portkey = new Portkey({ apiKey: '...', config: 'cf-***' });


---

## Adding Trace ID & Metadata

```ts
const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
  model: 'gpt-4o',
}, {
  traceId: '39e2a60c-b47c-45d8',
  metadata: { _user: '432erf6' }
});

console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
````

### TypeScript Support

Portkey’s Node.js SDK is fully typed and works seamlessly with TypeScript:

```ts theme={"system"}
import Portkey, { ChatCompletionResponse } from 'portkey-ai';
// ...
const response: ChatCompletionResponse = await portkey.chat.completions.create(/* ... */);
```

## Parameters

<Card title="List of All Headers" icon="list" href="/api-reference/inference-api/headers#list-of-all-headers">
  View the complete list of headers that can be used with Portkey API requests, including authentication, configuration, and custom headers.
</Card>

Here's how you can use these headers with the Node.js SDK:

```js theme={"system"}
const portkey = new Portkey({
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    virtualKey: "VIRTUAL_KEY",
    // Add any other headers from the reference
});

// Or at runtime
const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
    {
        messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
        model: "gpt-4o"
    },
    {
        traceId: "your_trace_id",
        metadata: { _user: "user_id" },
        // Add any other headers as needed
    }
);
```

Official Portkey Python SDK to help take your AI apps to production

The official Python SDK makes it easy to integrate Portkey into any Python application. Enjoy unified access to 250+ LLMs, advanced observability, routing, governance, and enterprise features with just a few lines of code.

<CardGroup>
  <Card icon="badge-check">Official</Card>
  <Card icon="python" href="https://pypi.org/project/portkey-ai"> ![](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/portkey-ai.svg) </Card>
  <Card icon="github" href="https://github.com/Portkey-AI/portkey-python-sdk"> Github Repo </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Installation

Install the Portkey SDK from PyPI:

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install portkey-ai
```

## API Key Setup

1. [Create a Portkey API key](https://app.portkey.ai) in your dashboard.
2. Store your API key securely as an environment variable:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh macOS/Linux theme={"system"}
  export PORTKEY_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
  ```

  ```sh Windows(PowerShell) theme={"system"}
  setx PORTKEY_API_KEY "your_api_key_here"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>The SDK automatically detects your API key from the environment.</Info>

## Quickstart

Here’s a minimal example to get you started:

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

client = Portkey(
    api_key="your_api_key_here",  # Or use the env var PORTKEY_API_KEY
    provider="@your_virtual_key_here"  # Or use config="cf-***"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, world!"}],
    model="gpt-4o"  # Example provider/model
)
```

<Info> You can use either a Virtual Key or a Config object to select your AI provider. Find more info on different authentication mechanisms [here](/api-reference/inference-api/headers#provider-authentication).</Info>

## Authentication & Configuration

The SDK requires:

* **Portkey API Key**: Your Portkey API key (env var `PORTKEY_API_KEY` recommended)
* **Provider Authentication**:
  * **Virtual Key**: The [Virtual Key](/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys#using-virtual-keys) of your chosen AI provider
  * **Config**: The [Config object](/api-reference/inference-api/config-object) or config slug for advanced routing
  * **Provider Slug + Auth Headers**: Useful if you do not want to save your API keys to Portkey and make direct requests.

```python theme={"system"}
# With Virtual Key
portkey = Portkey(api_key="...", provider="@...")

# With Config
portkey = Portkey(api_key="...", config="cf-***")

# With Provider Slug + Auth Headers
portkey = Portkey(api_key="...", provider="openai", Authorization = "Bearer OPENAI_API_KEY")
```

## Async Usage

Portkey supports **Async** usage - just use `AsyncPortkey` client instead of `Portkey` with `await`:

```py Python theme={"system"}
import asyncio
from portkey_ai import AsyncPortkey

portkey = AsyncPortkey(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    provider="@VIRTUAL_KEY"
)

async def main():
    chat_completion = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Say this is a test'}],
        model='gpt-4'
    )

    print(chat_completion)

asyncio.run(main())
```

## Using a Custom httpx Client

If you need to customize HTTP networking—for example, to disable SSL verification due to VPNs like Zscaler or to use custom proxies—you can pass your own `httpx.Client` to the Portkey SDK.

<Warning>Disabling SSL certificate verification is insecure and should only be used for debugging or in trusted internal environments. Never use this in production.</Warning>

**Example: Disable SSL Verification**

```python theme={"system"}
import httpx
from portkey_ai import Portkey

# Create an httpx client with SSL verification disabled
custom_client = httpx.Client(verify=False)

portkey = Portkey(
    api_key="your_api_key_here",
    provider="@your_virtual_key_here",
    http_client=custom_client
)

response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    model="gpt-4o"
)
print(response)
```

* You can use any `httpx.Client` options (e.g., for proxies, timeouts, custom headers).
* For async usage, pass an `httpx.AsyncClient` to `AsyncPortkey`.
* See [OpenAI Python SDK: Configuring the HTTP client](https://github.com/openai/openai-python#configuring-the-http-client) for more examples and best practices.

## Adding Trace ID or Metadata

You can choose to override the configuration in individual requests as well and send trace id or metadata along with each request.

```python theme={"system"}
completion = portkey.with_options(
    trace_id = "TRACE_ID",
    metadata = {"_user": "USER_IDENTIFIER"}
).chat.completions.create(
    messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
    model = 'gpt-4o'
)
```

## Parameters

# Web Search for Any LLM in LibreChat
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/librechat-web-search



> Enable real-time internet search capabilities for any LLM in LibreChat using Portkey's Exa integration

Transform your LibreChat experience by adding web search capabilities to any LLM - whether it's GPT-4, Claude, Llama, or any of the 250+ models supported by Portkey. This guide shows you how to combine LibreChat, Portkey, and Exa to create a powerful AI chat interface with real-time internet access.

<Note>
  This integration builds upon the basic [LibreChat + Portkey setup](/integrations/libraries/librechat). Please complete that integration first before proceeding.
</Note>

## What You'll Get

By following this guide, your LibreChat installation will have:

* ✅ **Web search for any LLM** - Not just OpenAI's browsing models
* ✅ **Real-time information** - Access to current events, latest data, and up-to-date facts
* ✅ **All Portkey features** - Observability, caching, fallbacks, and more
* ✅ **Unified interface** - One LibreChat setup for all your AI needs
* ✅ **250+ LLM support** - Use web search with any model through Portkey

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="User asks a question in LibreChat">
    When you send a message requiring current information
  </Step>

  <Step title="Request routes through Portkey">
    Portkey intercepts the request and triggers the Exa plugin
  </Step>

  <Step title="Exa searches the web">
    Relevant search results are fetched from across the internet
  </Step>

  <Step title="Context enhancement">
    Search results are added to your prompt as additional context
  </Step>

  <Step title="LLM responds with current information">
    Your chosen LLM now has access to real-time data to answer accurately
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

1. ✅ [LibreChat installed and running](https://www.librechat.ai/docs/quick_start/local_setup)
2. ✅ [Basic Portkey + LibreChat integration](/integrations/libraries/librechat) completed
3. ✅ [Portkey account](https://app.portkey.ai) with API key
4. ✅ [Exa account](https://exa.ai) with API key

## Setup Guide

### Step 1: Enable Exa Plugin in Portkey

First, activate the Exa plugin in your Portkey account:

1. Log into your [Portkey dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai)
2. Navigate to `Settings` → `Plugins` in the sidebar
3. Find **Exa** in the list of available plugins
4. Click **Enable** and enter your Exa API key
5. Save your settings

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Step 2: Create an Exa Guardrail

Next, create a guardrail that will add web search to your requests:

1. Go to the `Guardrails` page in Portkey
2. Click `Create New Guardrail`
3. Search for **"Exa Online Search"** and click `Add`
4. Configure the following parameters:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "context_prefix": "<web_search_context>",
  "context_suffix": "</web_search_context>",
  "num_results": 3,
  "timeout": 10000
}
```

<Info>
  **Recommended Settings:**

  * **Number of Results**: 3-5 (balances information vs token usage)
  * **Timeout**: 10000ms (10 seconds)
  * **Include/Exclude Domains**: Leave empty for general use, or specify trusted sources
</Info>

5. Set the action to `passthrough` (default)
6. Save the guardrail and copy the **Guardrail ID**

### Step 3: Create a Config with Web Search

Now create a Portkey config that includes your Exa guardrail:

1. Navigate to `Configs` in the Portkey dashboard
2. Click `Create New Config`
3. Add your configuration:

<CodeGroup>
  ```json Using Virtual Key theme={"system"}
  {
    "virtual_key": "YOUR_PROVIDER_VIRTUAL_KEY",
    "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
    "override_params": {
      "model": "gpt-4o"  // or any model you prefer
    }
  }
  ```

  ```json Using Provider API Key theme={"system"}
  {
    "provider": "openai",
    "api_key": "YOUR_PROVIDER_API_KEY",
    "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
    "override_params": {
      "model": "gpt-4o"
    }
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

4. Save the config and note the **Config ID** (e.g., `pc-websearch-xxx`)

### Step 4: Update Your LibreChat Configuration

Finally, update your LibreChat setup to use the web-search enabled config:

1. Edit your `librechat.yaml` file:

```yaml librechat.yaml theme={"system"}
version: 1.1.4
cache: true
endpoints:
  custom:
    - name: "Portkey with Web Search"
      apiKey: "dummy"
      baseURL: ${PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL}
      headers:
        x-portkey-api-key: "${PORTKEY_API_KEY}"
        x-portkey-config: "pc-websearch-xxx"  # Your config ID from Step 3
      models:
        default: ["gpt-4o", "claude-3-sonnet", "llama-3.1-70b"]
        fetch: true
      titleConvo: true
      titleModel: "current_model"
      summarize: false
      summaryModel: "current_model"
      forcePrompt: false
      modelDisplayLabel: "Portkey:WebSearch"
```

2. Restart your LibreChat instance

### Step 5: Test Your Setup

1. Open LibreChat in your browser
2. Select **"Portkey with Web Search"** as your endpoint
3. Try asking questions that require current information:

```
"What happened in the tech industry today?"
"What's the current price of Bitcoin?"
"Who won the latest sports championship?"
"What are the latest AI model releases?"
```

You should see responses with up-to-date information pulled from the web!

## Advanced Configuration

### Domain Filtering

For specialized use cases, you can limit search results to specific domains:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "virtual_key": "YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY",
  "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
  "override_params": {
    "model": "gpt-4o"
  }
}
```

In your Exa guardrail settings:

* **Include Domains**: `["arxiv.org", "nature.com", "pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov"]` (for academic research)
* **Exclude Domains**: `["reddit.com", "twitter.com"]` (to avoid social media)

### Multiple Configurations

Create different configs for different use cases:

```yaml librechat.yaml theme={"system"}
endpoints:
  custom:
    - name: "AI Research Assistant"
      apiKey: "dummy"
      baseURL: ${PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL}
      headers:
        x-portkey-api-key: "${PORTKEY_API_KEY}"
        x-portkey-config: "pc-research-xxx"  # Config with academic domains
      models:
        default: ["gpt-4o"]
      modelDisplayLabel: "Research:WebSearch"

    - name: "News & Current Events"
      apiKey: "dummy"
      baseURL: ${PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL}
      headers:
        x-portkey-api-key: "${PORTKEY_API_KEY}"
        x-portkey-config: "pc-news-xxx"  # Config with news domains
      models:
        default: ["claude-3-sonnet"]
      modelDisplayLabel: "News:WebSearch"
```

### Combining with Other Portkey Features

Enhance your web-search enabled config with additional Portkey features:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "virtual_key": "YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY",
  "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
  "output_guardrails": ["content_safety_guardrail_id"],
  "cache": {
    "mode": "semantic",
    "max_age": 3600
  },
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3
  },
  "override_params": {
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "temperature": 0.7
  }
}
```

## Monitoring Web Search Usage

Track your web-search enhanced conversations in the Portkey dashboard:

1. Navigate to **Logs** in Portkey
2. Filter by config ID to see web-search requests
3. Click on individual logs to see:
   * The original user query
   * Web search results added as context
   * Token usage (including search context)
   * Response time and costs

<Frame>
  <img alt="Web Search Logs" />
</Frame>

## Best Practices

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Token Management" icon="coins">
    Monitor token usage as web search adds context. Adjust the number of search results based on your needs and budget.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Model Selection" icon="robot">
    Some models handle web context better than others. Test different models to find the best fit for your use case.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Query Optimization" icon="magnifying-glass">
    Not every query needs web search. Consider creating separate endpoints for general chat vs. current information needs.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Caching Strategy" icon="database">
    Use semantic caching for frequently asked current events questions to reduce API calls and costs.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Next Steps

* **Try different models** with web search to compare performance
* **Monitor costs** using Portkey's analytics dashboard
* **Create specialized configs** for your team's specific use cases
* **Set up access controls** with user-specific API keys

Manage your Portkey organization and workspaces programmatically

# Portkey Admin API

The Portkey Admin API provides programmatic access to manage your organization, workspaces, and resources. Whether you're automating routine administration tasks, integrating Portkey with your existing systems, or customizing your deployment at scale, this API gives you the tools to control every aspect of your Portkey implementation.

## Understanding the Admin API Ecosystem

The Admin API is organized around key capabilities that let you manage different aspects of your Portkey environment. Let's explore what you can build and automate:

### Resource Management

At the foundation of Portkey are the resources that define how your AI implementation works. These can all be managed programmatically:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Configs" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/configs/create-config">
    Create and manage configuration profiles that define routing rules, model settings, and more.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Virtual Keys" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/virtual-keys/create-virtual-key">
    Manage virtual API keys that provide customized access to specific configurations.
  </Card>

  <Card title="API Keys" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key">
    Create and manage API keys for accessing Portkey services.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Analytics and Monitoring

Once your resources are configured, you'll want to measure performance and usage. The Admin API gives you powerful tools to access analytics data:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Summary Data" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/analytics/summary/get-all-cache-data">
    Retrieve aggregated usage statistics and performance metrics.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Grouped Data" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/analytics/groups-paginated-data/get-model-grouped-data">
    Access detailed analytics organized by metadata, model, or user.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Time Series Data" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/analytics/graphs-time-series-data/get-cost-data">
    Monitor performance trends, costs, errors, feedback, and usage patterns over time.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### User and Workspace Administration

Beyond resources and analytics, you'll need to manage who has access to your Portkey environment:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Users & Invites" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/users/retrieve-a-user">
    Manage user accounts, permissions, and access. Send and manage user invitations.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Workspaces & Members" href="/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/workspaces/create-workspace">
    Create workspaces and manage team membership and permissions within workspaces.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Authentication Strategy

Now that you understand what the Admin API can do, let's explore how to authenticate your requests. Portkey uses a sophisticated access control system with two types of API keys, each designed for different use cases:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Admin API Key" icon="key">
    **Organization-wide access**

    These keys grant access to administrative operations across your entire organization.

    <Note>Only Organization Owners and Admins can create and manage Admin API keys.</Note>
  </Card>

  <Card title="Workspace API Key" icon="key">
    **Workspace-specific access**

    These keys provide targeted access to resources within a single workspace.

    <Note>Workspace Managers can create and manage Workspace API keys.</Note>
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

The key you use determines which operations you can perform. For organization-wide administrative tasks, you'll need an Admin API key. For workspace-specific operations, you can use a Workspace API key.

## Access Control and Permissions Model

Portkey's hierarchical access control system governs who can use which APIs. Let's examine how roles, API keys, and permissions interact:

```mermaid theme={"system"}
graph TD
    A[Organization] --> B[Owner]
    A --> C[Org Admin]
    A --> D[Workspaces]
    B --> E[Admin API Key]
    C --> E
    D --> F[Workspace Manager]
    D --> G[Workspace Member]
    F --> H[Workspace API Key]
    E --> I[Organization-wide Operations]
    H --> J[Workspace-specific Operations]
    
    classDef entity fill:#4a5568,stroke:#ffffff,color:#ffffff
    classDef roles fill:#805ad5,stroke:#ffffff,color:#ffffff
    classDef keys fill:#3182ce,stroke:#ffffff,color:#ffffff
    classDef operations fill:#38a169,stroke:#ffffff,color:#ffffff
    
    class A,D entity
    class B,C,F,G roles
    class E,H keys
    class I,J operations
```

This access model follows a clear hierarchy:

| Role               | Can Create Admin API Key | Can Create Workspace API Key | Access Scope               |
| :----------------- | :----------------------- | :--------------------------- | :------------------------- |
| Organization Owner | ✅                        | ✅ (any workspace)            | All organization resources |
| Organization Admin | ✅                        | ✅ (any workspace)            | All organization resources |
| Workspace Manager  | ❌                        | ✅ (managed workspace only)   | Single workspace resources |
| Workspace Member   | ❌                        | ❌                            | Limited workspace access   |

## Creating and Managing API Keys

Now that you understand the permission model, let's look at how to create the API keys you'll need:

### Through the Portkey Dashboard

The simplest way to create an API key is through the Portkey dashboard:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Through the API

You can also create keys programmatically:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh Creating Admin API Key {1,2} theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST https://api.portkey.ai/v1/api-keys/organisation/service
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: YOUR_EXISTING_ADMIN_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "name":"API_KEY_NAME_0809",
      "scopes":[
        "logs.export",
        "logs.list",
        "logs.view"
      ]
    }'
  ```

  ```sh Creating Workspace API Key {1,2} theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST https://api.portkey.ai/v1/api-keys/workspace/user \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: YOUR_EXISTING_WORKSPACE_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "name":"API_KEY_NAME_0909",
      "workspace_id":"WORKSPACE_ID",
      "scopes":[
        "virtual_keys.create",
        "virtual_keys.update",
      ]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Understanding API Key Capabilities

Both key types have different capabilities. This table clarifies which operations each key type can perform:

**Ending the year with MCP, intelligence, and enterprise controls! 🛠️**

This month we [announced our MCP(Model Context Protocol)](https://portkey.ai/mcp) product - enabling LLMs to leverage 800+ tools through a unified interface. We've also added dynamic usage limits on keys, integrated OpenAI's realtime API, and some new Guardrails. OpenAI's o1, Llama 3.3 models, Gemini & Perplexity's grounding features, and the entire HuggingFace model garden on Vertex AI are also available on Portkey now.

For enterprises, we're introducing comprehensive SSO/SCIM support, enhanced usage controls, and more.

#### Enterprise Spotlight

**When API Gateways Don't Cut It**<br />
As AI infrastructure becomes increasingly critical for enterprises, technology leaders are choosing Portkey's AI Gateway for their AI operations.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

When Premera Blue Cross’ Director of Platform Engineering needed an AI Gateway, they chose Portkey. Why? Because traditional API gateways [weren’t built](https://portkey.ai/blog/ai-gateway-vs-api-gateway) for AI-first companies. Are you in the same boat? Schedule an [expert consultation here](https://calendly.com/portkey-ai/quick-consult).

***

## Platform

#### Prompt Management

* Type [prompt.new](https://prompt.new) in your browser to spin up a new prompt playground! [Try it now →](https://prompt.new)
* Organize your prompt templates with folders and subfolders:

<Frame>
  <iframe />
</Frame>

* Use AI to write and improve your prompts - right inside the playground:

<Frame>
  <iframe />
</Frame>

* Add custom tags/labels like `staging`, `production` to any prompt version to track changes, and call them directly:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

<CodeGroup>
  ```ts @staging {2} theme={"system"}
  const promptCompletion = portkey.prompts.completions.create({
      promptID: "pp-article-xx@staging",
      variables: {"":""}
  })
  ```

  ```ts @dev {2} theme={"system"}
  const promptCompletion = portkey.prompts.completions.create({
      promptID: "pp-article-xx@dev",
      variables: {"":""}
  })
  ```

  ```ts @prod {2} theme={"system"}
  const promptCompletion = portkey.prompts.completions.create({
      promptID: "pp-article-xx@prod",
      variables: {"":""}
  })
  ```
</CodeGroup>

* Each response inside the playground now gives metrics to monitor LLM throughput and latency

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

#### Analytics

**Org-wide Executive Reports**<br />

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Monitor analytics and logs across all workspaces in your organization through a unified dashboard. This centralized view provides comprehensive insights into cost, performance, and accuracy metrics for your deployed AI applications.

* Track token usage patterns across requests & responses

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

* You can now filter logs and analytics with specific Portkey API keys. This is useful if you are tying a particular key to an internal user and want to see their usage!

#### Enterprise

We've strengthened our enterprise authentication capabilities with comprehensive cloud provider integrations.

* Expanded AWS authentication options, for adding your Bedrock models or Sagemaker deployments:
  * IMDS-based auth (recommended for AWS environments)
  * IRSA-based auth for Kubernetes workloads
  * Role-based auth for non-AWS environments
  * STS integration with assumed roles
* Also expanded the Azure Integration:
  * Azure Entra (formerly Active Directory)
  * Managed identity support
* Granular access permissions for API Keys and Virtual Keys across your organization
* Support for sending Azure `deploymentConfig` while making Virtual Keys through API. [Docs](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/virtual-keys/create-virtual-key)

#### More Customer Love

Felipe & team are building [beconfident](https://beconfident.app/), and here's what they had to say about Portkey:

#### Office Hour

One thing we keep hearing from the Portkey community: you want to learn how other teams are solving production challenges and get the most out of the platform. Not through docs or tutorials, but through real conversations with fellow practitioners.

That's why we've started a new series of **AI Engineering Hours** since last week to bring the Portkey community together to discuss exactly this!

<Card title="Link to join the next office hour" href="/changelog/office-hour" />

#### Practitioners' Dinner

We [hosted](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/vrushank-vyas_coming-back-from-the-first-portkey-practitioners-activity-7267647180188860416-a5Fs/?utm_source=share\&utm_medium=member_desktop) some of Singapore's leading Gen AI engineers & leaders for a roundtable conversation - one profound insight emerged: Companies serious about Gen AI have realized it's as much a platform engineering challenge as it is an AI challenge.

Curious what we mean? Read the [meetup note here](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/vrushank-vyas_coming-back-from-the-first-portkey-practitioners-activity-7267647180188860416-a5Fs/?utm_source=share\&utm_medium=member_desktop).

# April

**April in review ◀️✨**

We kicked off April with an announcement— we make 95% of LLM costs vanish overnight. Just a bait, some of you bit (≧ᗜ≦)

While we can’t make bills disappear with a snap, we’ve delivered some powerful upgrades this month that will help you build and ship robust, reliable GenAI apps, faster!

This month, we introduced updates to the platform and gateway around governance, security & guardrails, new integrations, and all the latest models! Along with this, we’re working on something bigger: [the missing piece](https://x.com/PortkeyAI/status/1912491547653701891) in the AI agents stack!

Here’s what we shipped last month:

## Platform

**Prompt CRUD APIs**

Prompt CRUD APIs give you the control to scale by enabling you to:

* Programmatically create, update, and delete prompts
* Manage prompts in bulk or version-control them
* Integrate prompt updates into your own tools and workflows
* Automate updates for A/B testing and rapid experimentation

Read more about this [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/prompts/create-prompt).

**Export logs to your internal stack**

Enterprises can now push analytics logs to any OTel-compliant store through Portkey to centralize monitoring, maintain compliance, and ensure efficient operations.
See how it's done [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/components#analytics-store)

**Budget limits and rate limts on workspace**

Configure budget and rate limits at the workspace level to:

* Allocate specific budgets to different departments, teams, or projects
* Prevent individual workspaces from consuming disproportionate resources
* Ensure equitable API access and complete visibility

**n8n integration**

Add enterprise-grade controls to your n8n workflows with:

* **Unified AI Gateway**: Connect to 1600+ models with full API key management—not just OpenAI or Anthropic.
* **Centralized observability**: Track 40+ metrics and request logs in real time.
* **Governance**: Monitor spend, set budgets, and apply RBAC across workflows.
* **Security guardrails**: Enable PII detection, content filtering, and compliance controls.

Read more about the integration[here](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/n8n)

**OpenAI Codex CLI integration**

OpenAI Codex CLI gives developers a streamlined way to analyze, modify, and execute code directly from their terminal. Portkey's integration enhances this experience with:

* Access to 250+ additional models beyond OpenAI Codex CLI's standard offerings
* Content filtering and PII detection with guardrails
* Real-time analytics and logging
* Cost attribution, budget controls, RBAC, and more!

Read more about the integration[here](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/libraries/codex#openai-codex-cli)

**Other updates**

* Introduced a new retry setting `use_retry_after_header`. When set to true, if the provider returns the `retry-after` or `retry-after-ms headers`, the Gateway will use these headers to determine retry wait times, rather than applying the default exponential backoff for 429 responses.
* You can now store and retrieve vector embeddings for semantic cache using Milvus in Portkey. Read more about semantic cache store [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/enterprise-offering/components#semantic-cache-store)
* Plugins have now been moved under Settings (org-level) in the Portkey app.
* Virtual Key exhaustion alert emails now include which workspace the exhausted key belonged to.
* Set up your workspace with Workspace control on the Portkey app.

## Gateway & Providers

**OpenAI embeddings response**
We’ve optimized the Gateway’s handling of OpenAI embeddings requests, leading to around 200ms improvement in response latency.

**Responses API**

You can now use the Responses API to access OpenAI and Azure OpenAI models on Portkey, enabling a flexible and easier way to create agentic experiences.

* Complete observability and usage tracking
* Caching support for streaming requests
* Access to advanced tools — web search, file search, and code execution, with per-tool cost tracking

**Bedrock prompt caching**

You can now implement Amazon Bedrock’s prompt caching through our OpenAI-compliant unified API and prompt templates.

* Cache specific portions of your requests for repeated use
* Reduce inference response latency and input token costs

Read more about the implementation [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/integrations/llms/bedrock/prompt-caching)

**Virtual keys for self-hosted models**

You can now create a virtual key for any self-hosted model - whether you're running Ollama, vLLM, or any custom/private model.

* No extra setup required
* Stay in control with logs, traces, and key metrics
* Manage all your LLM interactions through one interface

**Advanced capabilities**

* **Openrouter**: Added mapping for new parameters - modalities, reasoning, transforms, provider, models, response\_format.
* **Vertex AI**: Added support for explicitly mentioning mime\_type for urls sent in the request. Gemini 2.5 thinking parameters are now available.
* **Perplexity**: Added support for response\_format and search\_recency\_filter request parameters.
* **Bedrock**: You can now pass the `anthropic_beta` parameter in Bedrock’s Anthropic API via Portkey to enable Claude's Computer use beta feature.

**Tool calling**

Portkey now supports tool calling for Groq, OpenRouter, and Ollama

**Technical Improvements**

* **Caching and Logging Unified Thinking Responses**: Unified thinking response (content\_blocks) now logged and cached for stream responses.
* **Strict Metadata Enforcement**: The metalogging preference order now is `Workspace Default > API Key Default > Incoming Request`. This is provide better control to org admins and ensure values set by them are not overridden.
* **Prompt render endpoint**: Previously only available via the control plane, the prompt render endpoint is now supported directly on the Gateway URL.
* Default config in an API key can no longer be overridden.

**Kicking off 2025 with major releases! 🎉**

January marks a milestone for Portkey with our first industry report — we analyzed over 2 trillion tokens flowing through Portkey to find out production patterns for LLMs.

We're also expanding our platform capabilities with advanced PII redaction, JWT authentication, comprehensive audit logs, unified files & batches API, and support for private LLMs. Latest LLMs like Deepseek R1, OpenAI o3, and Gemini thinking model are also integrated with Portkey.

Plus, we are attending the [AI Engineer Summit in New York](https://x.com/PortkeyAI/status/1886629690615747020) in February, and hosting in-person meetups in [Mumbai](https://lu.ma/bgiyw0cy) & [NYC](https://lu.ma/vmf0egzl).

## Platform

**Advanced PII Redaction**

We've significantly enhanced Portkey's Guardrails with request mutation capabilities.

When any sensitive data (like email, phone number, SSN) is detected in user requests, our PII redaction automatically replaces it with standardized identifiers before it reaches the LLM. This works seamlessly across our entire guardrails ecosystem, including AWS Bedrock Guardrails, Patronus AI, Promptfoo, Pangea, and more.

**Unified Files & Batches API**

Managing file uploads and batch processing across multiple LLM providers is now dramatically simpler. Instead of building provider-specific integrations, you can:

* **Upload once, use everywhere** - test your data across different foundation models
* **Run A/B tests seamlessly across providers** - Choose between native provider batching or Portkey's custom batch API

**Integrate Private LLMs**

You can now add your privately hosted LLMs to Portkey's virtual keys. Simply:

* Configure your model's base URL
* Set required authentication headers
* Start routing requests through our unified API

This means you can use your private deployments alongside commercial providers, with the same monitoring, reliability, and management features.

**API Keys with Default Configs & Metadata**

You can now attach default Portkey config & Metadata with any API key you create.

* Automatically monitor how a service/user is consuming Portkey API by enforcing metadata
* Apply Guardrails on requests automatically by adding them to Configs and attaching that to the key
* Set default fallbacks for outgoing request

## Enterprise

Running AI at scale requires robust security, visibility, and control. This month, we've launched a comprehensive set of enterprise features to enable that:

#### Authentication & Access Control

* **JWT Authentication**: Secure API access with JWT tokens, with support for JWKS URL and custom claims validation.
* **Workspace Management**: Manage workspace access and control who can view logs or create API keys from the Admin dashboard

#### Governance & Compliance

* **Metadata Schemas**: Enforce standardized request metadata across teams - crucial for governance and cost allocation
* **Audit Logging**: Track every critical action across both the Portkey app and Admin API, with detailed user attribution
* **Security Settings**: Expanded settings for managing logs visibility and API key creation

## Customer Love

After evaluating 17 different platforms, this AI team replaced 2+ years of homegrown tooling with Portkey Prompts.

<Frame>

They were able to do this because of three things:

* They could build reusable prompts with our partial templates
* Our versioning let them confidently roll out changes
* And they didn't have to refactor anything thanks to our OpenAI-compatible APIs

## Remote MCP servers

Portkey now supports calling a remote MCP server that is maintained by developers and organizations across the internet that expose these tools to MCP clients via the Responses API
Read more about the integration [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/remote-mcp).

## Azure AI ecosystem

More than half of Fortune 500 companies use Azure OpenAI. But building GenAI apps in the enterprise is still messy, cost attribution, routing logic, usage tracking, model evaluation... all scattered.

<Frame>

  ## v1.17.0

  ***

  <Note>
    **Requires a Helm repo update (>app-1.4.0)**
  </Note>

  <Note>
    **For air-gapped deployments, `Backend` version v1.5.0 is required as it adds new columns in the analytics store**
  </Note>

  ### Security Patch

  * Removed root user from container image (BREAKING CHANGE). The container image used by this chart no longer runs as root. The image now runs processes with a non-root UID and enforces a non-root container securityContext. Requires Helm repo upgrade (>app-1.4.0) to deploy the new image and chart settings.

  ### Usage and Rate Limit Policy

  * Introduced usage limits and rate limit policies, which allow organizations to apply flexible budget and rate limit controls based on dynamic conditions (API keys, metadata, workspace, etc.).
  * More details: [Documentation](/product/enterprise-offering/budget-policies) and [API Reference](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/policies)

  ### Logging Enhancements

  ### Finetuning Cost Tracking

  * Added cost calculation logic for fine-tuning operations across multiple AI providers (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Vertex AI).

  ### Hourly-Based Log Object Prefix

  * Introduced support for hourly-based S3 file path prefixes.
  * Set `LOG_STORE_FILE_PATH_FORMAT` environment variable to toggle between `v1` (flat structure - existing format) and `v2` (time-hierarchical) path formats. By default, it will use the existing format (v1).
  * `v1` (default) - The object path will follow this structure: `30/<organisation-id>/<log-id>.json`
  * `v2` - The object path will follow this structure: `30/<organisation-id>/<workspace-slug>/<year>/<month>/<day>/<hour>/<log-id>.json`
    <Note>Changing the `LOG_STORE_FILE_PATH_FORMAT` environment variable only affects newly written logs. Previously written logs will retain their original path format and are not migrated to the new structure.</Note>
    <Note>The new v2 prefix structure is currently not supported for air-gapped deployments where `LOG_STORE` is set to `control_plane`. Support will be added in a future release.</Note>

  ### Provider Updates

# 101 on Portkey's Gateway Configs
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/101-on-portkey-s-gateway-configs

You are likely familiar with how to make an API call to GPT4 for chat completions. 

However, did you know you can **set up** automatic retries for requests that might fail on OpenAI’s end using Portkey?

The Portkey AI gateway provides several useful features that you can use to enhance your requests. In this cookbook, we will start by making an API call to LLM and explore how Gateway Configs can be utilized to optimize these API calls.

## 1. API calls to LLMs with Portkey

Consider a typical API call to GPT4 to get chat completions using OpenAI SDK. It takes `messages` and `model` arguments to get us a response. If you have tried one before, the following code snippet should look familiar. That’s because Portkey Client SDK follows the same signature as OpenAI’s.

```js theme={"system"}
import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: 'xxxxxxxtrk',
  virtualKey: 'ma5xfxxxxx4x'
});

const messages = [
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: `What are the 7 wonders of the world?`
  }
];

const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'gpt-4'
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

Along with Portkey API Key ([get one](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/authentication#obtaining-your-api-key)), you might’ve noticed a new parameter while instantiating the `portkey` variable — `virtualKey`. Portkey securely stores API keys of LLM providers in a vault and substitutes them at runtime in your requests. These unique identifiers to your API keys are called Virtual Keys. For more information, see the [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys#creating-virtual-keys).

With basics out of our way, let’s jump into applying what we set out to do in the first place with the AI gateway — To automatically retry our request when we hit rate-limits (429 status codes).

## 2. Apply Gateway Configs

The AI gateway requires instructions to automatically retry requests. This involves providing Gateway Configs, which are essentially JSON objects that orchestrate the AI gateway. In our current scenario, we are targeting GPT4 with requests that have automatic retries on 429 status codes.

```js theme={"system"}
{
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3,
    "on_status_codes": [429]
  }
}
```

We now have our Gateway Configs sorted. But how do we instruct our AI gateway?

You guessed it, on the request headers. The next section will explore two ways to create and reference Gateway Configs.

### a. Reference Gateway Configs from the UI

Just as the title says — you create them on the UI and use an ID to have Portkey automatically apply in the request headers to instruct the AI gateway. UI builder features lint suggestions, makes it easy to reference (through config ID), eliminates manual management, and allows you to view version history.

To create Gateway Configs,

1. Go to **portkey.ai** and
2. Click on **Configs**
   1. Select **Create**
   2. Choose any name (such as request\_retries)

Write the configs in the playground and click **Save Config**:

See the saved configs in the list along with the `ID`:

Try it out now!

The Configs saved will appear as a row item on the Configs page. The `ID` is important as it is referenced in our calls through the AI gateway.

#### Portkey SDK

The Portkey SDK accepts the config parameter that takes the created config ID as it’s argument. To ensure all requests have automatic retries enabled on them, pass the config ID as argument when `portkey` is instantiated.

That’s right! One line of code, and all the request from your apps now inherit Gateway Configs and demonstrate automatic retries.

Let’s take a look at the code snippet:

```js theme={"system"}
import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: 'xxxxxxrk',
  virtualKey: 'xxxxx',
  config: 'pc-xxxxx-edx21x' // Gateway Configs
});

const messages = [
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: `What are the 7 wonders of the world?`
  }
];

const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'gpt-4'
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

#### Axios

In the cases, where you are not able to use an SDK, you can pass the same configs as headers with the key `x-portkey-config` .

```js theme={"system"}
const CONFIG_ID = 'pc-reques-edf21c';
const PORTKEY_API_KEY = 'xxxxxrk';
const OPENAI_API_KEY = 'sk-*******';

const response = await axios({
  method: 'post',
  url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    Authorization: `Bearer ${OPENAI_API_KEY}`,
    'x-portkey-api-key': PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    'x-portkey-provider': 'openai',
    'x-portkey-config': CONFIG_ID
  },
  data: data
});

console.log(response.data);
```

#### OpenAI SDK

Portkey can be used with OpenAI SDK.

To send a request with using OpenAI SDK client and apply gateway configs to the request pass a `baseURL` and necessary headers as follows:

```js theme={"system"}
import OpenAI from 'openai'; // We're using the v4 SDK
import { PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders } from 'portkey-ai';

const PORTKEY_API_KEY = 'xxxxxrk';
const CONFIG_ID = 'pc-reques-edf21c';

const messages = [
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: `What are the 7 wonders of the world?`
  }
];

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'OPENAI_API_KEY', // When you pass the parameter `virtualKey`, this value is ignored.
  baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
  defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
    provider: 'openai',
    apiKey: PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    virtualKey: 'open-ai-key-04ba3e', // OpenAI virtual key
    config: CONFIG_ID
  })
});

const chatCompletion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'gpt-4'
});

console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
```

The approach to declare the Gateway Configs in the UI and reference them in the code is recommended since it keeps the Configs atomic and decoupled from the business logic and can be upgraded to add more features. What if you want to enable caching for all your thousands of requests? Just update the Configs from the UI. No commits. No redeploys.

### b. Reference Gateway Configs in the Code

Depending on the dynamics of your app, you might want to construct the Gateway Configs at the runtime. All you need to do is to pass the Gateway Configs directly to the `config` parameter as an argument.

#### Portkey SDK

```js theme={"system"}
import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: 'xxxxxxx',
  virtualKey: 'maxxxxx8f4d',
  config: JSON.stringify({
    retry: {
      attempts: 3,
      on_status_codes: [429]
    }
  })
});

const messages = [
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: `What are the 7 wonders of the world?`
  }
];

const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'gpt-4'
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

#### Axios

```js theme={"system"}
import axios from 'axios';

const CONFIG_ID = {
  retry: {
    attempts: 3,
    on_status_codes: [429]
  }
};

const PORTKEY_API_KEY = 'xxxxxxxx';
const OPENAI_API_KEY = 'sk-xxxxxxxxx';

const data = {
  model: 'gpt-4',
  messages: [
    {
      role: 'user',
      content: 'What are 7 wonders of the world?'
    }
  ]
};

const { data: response } = await axios({
  method: 'post',
  url: 'https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    Authorization: `Bearer ${OPENAI_API_KEY}`,
    'x-portkey-api-key': PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    'x-portkey-provider': 'openai',
    'x-portkey-config': JSON.stringify(CONFIG_ID)
  },
  data: data
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

#### OpenAI SDK

```js theme={"system"}
import OpenAI from 'openai'; // We're using the v4 SDK
import { PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders } from 'portkey-ai';

const PORTKEY_API_KEY = 'xxxxxrk';
const CONFIG_ID = 'pc-reques-edf21c';

const messages = [
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: `What are the 7 wonders of the world?`
  }
];

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'OPENAI_API_KEY', // When you pass the parameter `virtualKey`, this value is ignored.
  baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
  defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
    provider: 'openai',
    apiKey: PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    virtualKey: 'open-ai-key-04ba3e', // OpenAI virtual key
    config: {
      retry: {
        attempts: 3,
        on_status_codes: [429]
      }
    }
  })
});

const chatCompletion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'gpt-4'
});

console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
```

Those are three ways to use Gateway Configs in your requests.

In the cases where you want to specifically add a config for a specific request instead of all, Portkey allows you to pass `config` argument as seperate objects right at the time of chat completions call instead of `Portkey({..})` instantiation.

```js theme={"system"}
const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
  {
    messages,
    model: 'gpt-4'
  },
  {
    config: 'config_id' // or expanded Config Object
  }
);
```

Applying retry super power to your requests is that easy!

## Next Steps: Dive into features of AI gateway

Great job on implementing the retry behavior for your LLM calls to OpenAI!

Gateway Configs is a tool that can help you manage fallbacks, request timeouts, load balancing, caching, and more. With Portkey's support for over 100+ LLMs, it is a powerful tool for managing complex use cases that involve multiple target configurations. A Gateway Config that encompasses such complexity may look like:

```sh theme={"system"}
TARGET 1 (root):
  OpenAI GPT4
  Simple Cache
  On 429:
    TARGET 2 (loadbalance):
      Anthropic Claude3
      Semantic Cache
      On 5XX
    TARGET 3 (loadbalance):
      Anyscale Mixtral 7B
      On 4XX, 5XX
        TARGET 4 (fallback):
          Llama Models
          Automatic Retries
          Request Timeouts
```

For complete reference, refer to the [*Config Object*](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/config-object).

It's exciting to see all the AI gateway features available for your requests. Feel free to experiment and make the most of them. Keep up the great work!


# A/B Test Prompts and Models
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/a-b-test-prompts-and-models

A/B testing with large language models in production is crucial for driving optimal performance and user satisfaction.

It helps you find and settle on the best model for your application (and use-case).

**This cookbook will guide us through setting up an effective A/B test where we measure the performance of 2 different prompts written for 2 different models in production.**

<Check>
  If you prefer to follow along a **python notebook**, you can find that [here](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1ZCmLHh9etOGYhhCw-lUVpEu9Nw43lnD1?usp=sharing).
</Check>

## The Test

We want to test the **blog outline generation** capabilities of OpenAI's `gpt-3.5-turbo` model and Google's `gemini-pro` models which have similar pricing and benchmarks. We will rely on user feedback metrics to pick a winner.

Setting it up will need us to

1. Create prompts for the 2 models
2. Write the config for a 50-50 test
3. Make requests using this config
4. Send feedback for responses
5. Find the winner

Let's get started.

## 1. Create prompts for the 2 models

Portkey makes it easy to create prompts through the playground.

We'll start by clicking **Create** on the **Prompts** **tab** and create the first prompt for OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo.

<Info>
  You'll notice that I'd already added providers for OpenAI and Google in my account. Add them by going to [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) and clicking **Add Provider** - this ensures that your original API keys remain secure.
</Info>

Let's start with a simple prompt. We can always improve it iteratively. You'll notice that we've added variables to it for `title` and `num_sections` which we'll populate through the API later on.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Gemini Model Setup" />
</Frame>

Great, this is setup and ready now.

The gemini model doesn't need a `system` prompt, so we can ignore it and create a prompt like this.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Gemini Model Prompt Creation" />
</Frame>

## 2. Write the config for a 50-50 test

To run the experiment, lets create a [config](/product/ai-gateway/configs) in Portkey that can automatically route requests between these 2 prompts.

We pulled the `id` for both these prompts from our Prompts list page and will use them in our config. This is what it finally looks like.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance"
  },
  "targets": [{
    "prompt_id": "0db0d89c-c1f6-44bc-a976-f92e24b39a19",
    "weight": 0.5
  },{
    "prompt_id": "pp-blog-outli-840877",
    "weight": 0.5
  }]
}
```

We've created a load balanced config that will route 50% of the traffic to each of the 2 prompt IDs mentioned in it. We can save this config and fetch its ID.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Create the config and fetch the ID" />
</Frame>

Create the config and fetch the ID

## 3. Make requests using this config

Lets use this config to start making requests from our application. We will use the [prompt completions API](/portkey-endpoints/prompts/prompt-completion) to make the requests and add the config in our headers.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config: "pc-blog-o-0e83d2" // replace with your config ID
    })

    // We can also override the hyperparameters

    const pcompletion = await portkey.prompts.completions.create({
        promptID: "pp-blog-outli-840877", // Use any prompt ID
        variables: {
           "title": "Should colleges permit the use of AI in assignments?",
           "num_sections": "5"
        },
    });

    console.log(pcompletion.choices)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    client = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        config="pc-blog-o-0e83d2" # replace with your config ID
    )

    pcompletion = client.prompts.completions.create(
        prompt_id="pp-blog-outli-840877", # Use any prompt ID
        variables={
           "title": "Should colleges permit the use of AI in assignments?",
           "num_sections": "5"
        }
    )

    print(pcompletion)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="cURL">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/prompts/pp-blog-outli-840877/completions" \ # You can use any of the A/B prompt IDs here

    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \

    -H "x-portkey-config": "pc-blog-o-0e83d2" \ # Replace with your config ID

    -d '{
        "variables": {
            "title": "Should colleges permit the use of AI in assignments?",
            "num_sections": "5"
        }
    }'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

As we make these requests, they'll show up in the Logs tab. We can see that requests are being routed equally between the 2 prompts.

Let's setup feedback for these APIs so we can begin our tests!

## 4. Send feedback for responses

Collecting and analysing feedback allows us to find the real performance of each of these 2 prompts (an in turn `gemini-pro` and `gpt-3.5-turbo`)

The Portkey SDK allows a `feedback` method to collect feedback based on trace IDs. The pcompletion object in the previous request allows us to fetch the trace ID that portkey created for it.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```js theme={"system"}
    // Get the trace ID of the request we just made

    const reqTrace = pcompletion.getHeaders()["trace-id"]

    await portkey.feedback.create({
        traceID: reqTrace,
        value: 1  // For thumbs up or 0 for thumbs down
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    req_trace = pcompletion.get_headers()['trace-id']

    client.feedback.create(
        trace_id=req_trace,
        value=0  # For thumbs down or 1 for thumbs up
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="cURL">
    ```sh theme={"system"}
    curl -X POST "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/feedback" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -d '{
        "trace_id": "",
        "value": 0
    }'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## 5. Find the winner

We can now compare the feedback for the 2 prompts from our feedback dashboard

<Frame>
  <img alt="" />
</Frame>

We find that the `gpt-3.5-turbo` prompt is at 4.71 average feedback after 20 attempts, while `gemini-pro` is at 4.11. While we definitely need more data and examples, let's assume for now that we wanted to start directing more traffic to it.

We can edit the `weight` in the config to direct more traffic to `gpt-3.5-turbo`. The new config would look like this:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance"
  },
  "targets": [{
    "prompt_id": "0db0d89c-c1f6-44bc-a976-f92e24b39a19",
    "weight": 0.8
  },{
    "prompt_id": "pp-blog-outli-840877",
    "weight": 0.2
  }]
}
```

This directs 80% of the traffic to OpenAI.

And we're done! We were able to set up an effective A/B test between prompts and models without fretting.

## Next Steps

As next explorations, we could create versions of the prompts and test between them. We could also test 2 prompts on `gpt-3.5-turbo` to judge which one would perform better.

Try creating a prompt to create tweets and see which model or prompts perform better.

Portkey allows a lot of flexibility while experimenting with prompts.

## Bonus: Add a fallback

We've noticed that we hit the OpenAI rate limits at times. In that case, we can fallback to the gemini prompt so the user doesn't experience the failure.

Adjust the config like this, and your fallback is setup!

```json theme={"system"}
{

  "strategy": {
    "mode": "loadbalance"
  },
  "targets": [{
    "strategy": {"mode": "fallback"},
    "targets": [
      {
        "prompt_id": "0db0d89c-c1f6-44bc-a976-f92e24b39a19",
        "weight": 0.8
      }, {
        "prompt_id": "pp-blog-outli-840877"
      }]

  },{
    "prompt_id": "pp-blog-outli-840877",
    "weight": 0.2
  }]

}
```

# Function Calling
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/function-calling

Get the LLM to interact with external APIs!

As described in the [Enforcing JSON Schema cookbook](/guides/use-cases/enforcing-json-schema-with-anyscale-and-together), LLMs are now good at generating outputs that follow a specified syntax. We can combine this LLM ability with their reasoning ability to let LLMs interact with external APIs. **This is called Function (or Tool) calling.** In simple terms, function calling:

1. Informs the user when a question can be answered using an external API
2. Generates a valid request in the API's format
3. Converts the API's response to a natural language answer

Function calling is currently supported on select models on **Anyscale**, **Together AI**, **Fireworks AI**, **Google Gemini**, and **OpenAI**. Using Portkey, you can easily experiment with function calling across various providers and gain confidence to ship it to production.

**Let's understand how it works with an example**:

We want the LLM to tell what's the temperature in Delhi today. We'll use a "Weather API" to fetch the weather:

```js theme={"system"}
import Portkey from "portkey-ai";

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
  virtualKey: "ANYSCALE_VIRTUAL_KEY",
});

// Describing what the Weather API does and expects
let tools = [
    {
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "getWeather",
            "description": "Get the current weather in a given location",
            "parameters": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    "location": {
                        "type": "string",
                        "description": "The city and state",
                    },
                    "unit": {"type": "string", "enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"]},
                },
                "required": ["location"],
            },
        },
    }
];

let response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    model: "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1",
    messages: [
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in Delhi - respond in JSON"}
    ],
    tools,
    tool_choice: "auto", // auto is default, yet explicit
});

console.log(response.choices[0].finish_reason)
```

Here, we've defined what the Weather API expects for its requests in the `tool` param, and set `tool_choice` to auto. So, based on the user messages, the LLM will decide if it should do a function call to fulfill the request. Here, it will choose to do that, and we'll see the following output:

```json theme={"system"}
{
    "role": "assistant",
    "content": null,
    "tool_calls": [{
        "id": "call_x8we3xx",
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "getWeather",
            "arguments": "{\"location\": \"Delhi, India\", \"format\": \"celsius\"}"
        }
    }]
}
```

We can just take the `tool_call` made by the LLM, and pass it to our `getWeather` function - it should return a proper response to our query. We then take that response and send it to our LLM to complete the loop:

```js theme={"system"}
// getWeather(..) is a utility to call external weather service APIs
// Responds with: {"temperature": 20, "unit": "celsius"}

let weatherData = await getWeather(JSON.parse(arguments));
let content = JSON.stringify(weatherData);

// Push assistant and tool message from earlier generated function arguments
messages.push(assistantMessage);
messages.push({
    role: "tool",
    content: content,
    toolCallId: "call_x8we3xx",
    name: "getWeather"
});

let response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    model: "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1",
    tools: tools,
    messages: messages,
    tool_choice: "auto"
});
```

We should see this final output:

```json theme={"system"}
{
    "role": "assistant",
    "content": "It's 30 degrees celsius in Delhi, India."
}
```

## Function Calling Workflow

Recapping, there are 4 key steps to doing function calling, as illustrated below:

Function Calling Workflow

## Supporting Models

Portkey's AI Gateway provides native function calling (also known as tool calling) support across our entire ecosystem of AI providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Together AI, Fireworks AI, and many more. If you discover a function-calling capable LLM that isn't working with Portkey, please let us know [on Discord](https://portkey.wiki/community).

<Note>
  Portkey also supports parallel tool calling when available from the provider. This feature allows you to submit multiple requests in a single query. The model automatically selects the appropriate tool for each request and returns an array of `tool_calls`, each with a unique identifier. For more details, see the [parallel function calling documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling/parallel-function-calling).

# Getting started with AI Gateway
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/getting-started-with-ai-gateway



[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1nQa-9EYcv9-O6VnwLATnVd9Q2wFtthOA?usp=sharing)

[Portkey](https://app.portkey.ai/) is the Control Panel for AI apps. With it's popular AI Gateway and Observability Suite, hundreds of teams ship reliable, cost-efficient, and fast apps.

## Quickstart

Since Portkey is fully compatible with the OpenAI signature, you can connect to the Portkey AI Gateway through OpenAI Client.

A fractal is a complex geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is a reduced-scale  of the whole. Fractals are typically self-similar and independent of scale, meaning they look similar at any zoom level. They often appear in nature, in things like snowflakes, coastlines, and fern leaves. The term "fractal" was coined by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975.

### Portkey Supports other Providers

Portkey supports **30+ providers** and all the models within those providers. To use these different providers and models with OpenAI's SDK, you just need to change the `provider` and` model names` in your code with their respective auth keys. It's that easy!

If you want to see all the providers Portkey works with, check out the [list of providers](https://docs.portkey.ai/providers/supported-providers)[.](/guides/integrations)

# Image Generation
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/image-generation



[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/github/Portkey-AI/portkey-cookbook/blob/main/examples/image-generation.ipynb)

## Image Generation using the Portkey AI Gateway

[Portkey's AI gateway](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/gateway) supports making calls to multiple Image models to generate images through a unified API. This notebook showcases the following functionality:

1. Generating an image through OpenAI
2. Use the same request to generate an image using Stability AI
3. Setup a load balance between OpenAI and Stability, with a fallback to OpenAI's dall-e-2
4. Cache image requests for super fast loading

This notebook uses the OpenAI SDK to showcase the functionality. We're using the hosted AI gateway on portkey.ai, but you could swap it for an internally hosted gateway as well.

STABILITY_API_KEY = "" # Add your stability ai API key
```

#### 1. Generate an image using OpenAI

Let's try to make an image generation request to OpenAI through Portkey.

```json theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders
from IPython.display import display, Image
client = OpenAI(
    api_key=OPENAI_API_KEY,
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        provider="openai",
        api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY

    )

)

image = client.images.generate(
  model="dall-e-3",
  prompt="Lucy in the sky with diamonds",
  n=1,
  size="1024x1024"
)

# Display the image

display(Image(url=image.data[0].url))
```

This request went through Portkey's fast AI gateway which also then captures the information about the request on your Portkey Dashboard.

#### 2. Generate an image using Stability AI

Let's try to make an image generation request to Stability through Portkey. Notice that we're going to use the OpenAI SDK itself to make calls to Stability AI as well

```json theme={"system"}
from IPython.display import display, Image

import base64

client = OpenAI(

    api_key=STABILITY_API_KEY,

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        provider="stability-ai",

        api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY

    )

)

# Portkey will automatically convert this request to the format Stability expects

image = client.images.generate(

  model="stable-diffusion-v1-6",

  prompt="Lucy in the sky with diamonds",

  n=1,

  size="256x256"

)

# Since stability returns a base64 image string, we can display it like this

image_bytes = base64.b64decode(image.data[0].b64_json)

display(Image(data=image_bytes))
```

#### 3. Use a config with load balancing & fallbacks

The AI gateway allows us to create routing configurations for better reliability across our requests. Lets take an example where we might want to loadbalance our requests equally between OpenAI's `dall-e-3` and Stability's `stable-diffusion-v1-6` with a overall fallback to `dall-e-2`

This requires us to create a config with a structure like this

```json theme={"system"}
fallback

    target1:

        loadbalance

            target1: dall-e-3

            target2: stable-diffusion-v1-6

    target2:dall-e-2
```

Let's define this using Portkey's configuration to achieve the same result. You can find more about configs [here](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/config-object).

```json theme={"system"}
# It is recommended to create this in the Portkey Config creator, but we're writing the config here to show the process

config = {

    "strategy": {

        "mode": "fallback"

    },

    "targets": [{

        "strategy": {

            "mode": "loadbalance"

        },

        "targets": [{

            "provider": "openai",

            "api_key": OPENAI_API_KEY,

        },{

            "provider": "stability-ai",

            "api_key": STABILITY_API_KEY,

            "override_params": {"model": "stable-diffusion-v1-6"}

        }]

    },{

        "provider": "openai",

        "api_key": "OPENAI_API_KEY",

        "override_params": {"model": "dall-e-2"}

    }]

}

client = OpenAI(

    api_key="X", # Not necessary since we''ll pick it up from the config

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        config=config,

        api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY

    )

)

image = client.images.generate(

  model="dall-e-3",

  prompt="Lucy in the sky with diamonds",

  response_format='b64_json',

  size="1024x1024"

)

# Display the image

image_bytes = base64.b64decode(image.data[0].b64_json)

display(Image(data=image_bytes))
```

The above image generated will follow your fallback and load balancing configurations making your app very resilient.

#### 4. Cache Image Requests

The AI gateway also supports caching requests making them extremely fast. We could add cache to the above config and try the requests again.

```json theme={"system"}
# Add simple caching to the config defined above

config["cache"] = {"mode": "simple"}

client = OpenAI(

    api_key="X", # Not necessary since we''ll pick it up from the config

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        config=config,

        api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY

    )

)

image = client.images.generate(

  model="dall-e-3",

  prompt="Lucy in the sky with diamonds",

  response_format='b64_json',

  size="1024x1024"

)

# Display the image

image_bytes = base64.b64decode(image.data[0].b64_json)

display(Image(data=image_bytes))
```

```

```
The primary purpose of generative AI is to create new, original, and often realistic data or content, such as images, videos, music, text, or speeches, that are similar to those created by humans. Generative AI models are designed to generate new data samples that are indistinguishable from real-world data, allowing for a wide range of applications and possibilities. Some of the main purposes of generative AI include:

1. **Data augmentation**: Generating new data to augment existing datasets, improving machine learning model performance, and reducing overfitting.

2. **Content creation**: Automating the creation of content, such as music, videos, or articles, that can be used for entertainment, education, or marketing purposes.

3. **Simulation and modeling**: Generating synthetic data to simulate real-world scenarios, allowing for experimentation, testing, and analysis in various fields, such as healthcare, finance, or climate modeling.

4. **Personalization**: Creating personalized content, recommendations, or experiences tailored to individual users' preferences and behaviors.

5. **Creative assistance**: Providing tools and inspiration for human creators, such as artists, writers, or musicians, to aid in their creative processes.

6. **Synthetic data generation**: Generating realistic synthetic data to protect sensitive information, such as personal data or confidential business data.

7. **Research and development**: Facilitating research in various domains, such as computer vision, natural language processing, or robotics, by generating new data or scenarios.

8. **Entertainment and leisure**: Creating engaging and interactive experiences, such as games, chatbots, or interactive stories.

9. **Education and training**: Generating educational content, such as interactive tutorials, virtual labs, or personalized learning materials.

10. **Healthcare and biomedical applications**: Generating synthetic medical images, patient data, or clinical trials data to aid in disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and drug discovery.

Some of the key benefits of generative AI include:

* Increased efficiency and productivity

* Improved accuracy and realism

* Enhanced creativity and inspiration

* Accelerated research and development

* Personalized experiences and services

* Cost savings and reduced data collection costs

However, it's essential to address the potential risks and concerns associated with generative AI, such as:

* Misuse and abuse of generated content

* Bias and unfairness in AI-generated data

* Privacy and security concerns

* Job displacement and labor market impacts

As generative AI continues to evolve, it's crucial to develop and implement responsible AI practices, ensuring that these technologies are used for the betterment of society and humanity.

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key = userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY'),   # replace with your Portkey API key
    provider="@groq-431005",   # replace with your virtual key for Groq AI
)
```

```py theme={"system"}

### Observability with Portkey

By routing requests through Portkey you can track a number of metrics like - tokens used, latency, cost, etc.


# Return Repeat Requests from Cache
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/return-repeat-requests-from-cache

If you have multiple users of your GenAI app triggering the same or similar queries to your models, fetching LLM response from the models can be slow and expensive.

This is because it requires multiple round trips from your app to the model and you may end up paying for the duplicate queries.

To avoid such unnecessary LLM requests, you can use Portkey as your first line of defense. It is highly effective and can be made to work across the 100+ LLMs it supports by simply making changes to a few lines of code.

## How Portkey Cache Works

All requests that have caching enabled on them will serve the subsequent responses from the Portkey’s cache.

Portkey offers two main ways of Caching techniques to enable on your requests — Simple and Semantic.

In short:

* Simple caching refers for identical input prompts to serve from cache.
* Semantic caching refers to an similarity threshold (uses cosine similarity) to serve from cache.

For detailed information, check out [this](https://portkey.ai/blog/reducing-llm-costs-and-latency-semantic-cache/) blog post.

## 1. Import and Authenticate Portkey Client SDK

You now have a brief mindmap of Portkey's approach to caching responses from LLMs.

Let's utilize the Portkey Client SDK to send chat completion requests and attach gateway configs, which in turn activate caching.

To install it, type the following in your NodeJS environment:

```js theme={"system"}
npm install portkey-ai
```

Instantiate Portkey instance

```javascript JavaScript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
const portkey = new Portkey({
    apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
    provider: '@openai-prod'  // Your provider slug from Model Catalog
});
```

At this point, it's essential to understand that you instantiate the `portkey` instance with `apiKey` and `provider` parameters. You can find the Portkey API key in your Dashboard.

Visit the reference to [obtain the Portkey API key](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/authentication) and learn how to [add providers in Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog).

## 2. Use Gateway Configs to enable Caching

The AI gateway caches your requests and serves it respecting the gateway configs on the request headers. The configs are a simple JS object or JSON string that contains following key-value pairs.

The `mode` key specifies the desired strategy of caching you want for your app.

```js theme={"system"}
// Simple Caching
"cache": { "mode": "simple" }

// Semantic Caching
"cache": { "mode": "semantic" }
```

Next up, attach these configs to the request using Portkey SDK. The SDK accepts an `config` parameter that can accept these configurations as an argument. To learn about more ways, refer to the [101 on Gateway Configs](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/gateway/blob/main/cookbook/getting-started/writing-your-first-gateway-config.md).

## 3. Make API calls, Serve from Cache

We are now ready to put what we’ve learned so far into action. We plan on making two requests to an OpenAI model (as an example) while one of them has simple caching activated on it, while other has semantic caching enabled.

```js theme={"system"}
// Simple Cache
let simpleCacheResponse = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
  {
    model: 'gpt-4',
    messages: [
      {
        role: 'user',
        content: 'What are 7 wonders of the world?'
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    config: JSON.stringify({
      cache: {
        mode: 'simple'
      }
    })
  }
);

console.log('Simple Cached Response:\n', simpleCacheResponse.choices[0].message.content);
```

Whereas for semantic caching,

```js theme={"system"}
let semanticCacheResponse = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
  {
    model: 'gpt-4',
    messages: [
      {
        role: 'user',
        content: 'List the 5 senses of Human beings?'
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    config: JSON.stringify({
      cache: {
        mode: 'semantic'
      }
    })
  }
);

console.log('\nSemantically Cached Response:\n', semanticCacheResponse.choices[0].message.content);
```

On the console:

```sh theme={"system"}
Simple Cached Response:
 1. The Great Wall of China
2. Petra, Jordan
3. Christ the Redeemer Statue, Brazil
4. Machu Picchu, Peru
5. The Chichen Itza Pyramid, Mexico
6. The Roman Colosseum, Italy
7. The Taj Mahal, India

Semantically Cached Response:
 1. Sight (Vision)
2. Hearing (Auditory)
3. Taste (Gustatory)
4. Smell (Olfactory)
5. Touch (Tactile)
```

Try experimenting with rephrasing the prompts in the `messages` array and see if you notice any difference in the time it takes to receive a response or the quality of the response itself.

Can you refresh the cache on demand? Yes, you can!

Can you control how long the cache remains active? Absolutely!

Explore the [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/cache-simple-and-semantic) on caching to know all the features available to control how you cache the LLM responses.

## 4. View Analytics and Logs

On the **Analytics** page, you can find Portkey's cache performance analytics under the Cache tab.

The **Logs** page displays a list of LLM calls that served responses from cache. The corresponding icon is activated when the cache is hit.

## Next steps

By leveraging simple and semantic caching, you can avoid unnecessary LLM requests, reduce latency, and provide a better user experience. So go ahead and experiment with the Portkey Cache in your own projects – the benefits are just a few lines of code away!

Some suggestions to experiment:

* Try using the configs from the [Portkey UI](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/gateway/blob/main/cookbook/getting-started/writing-your-first-gateway-config.md) as a reference.
* Implement caching when there are [multiple targets](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/portkey-cookbook/blob/main/ai-gateway/how-to-setup-fallback-from-openai-to-azure-openai.md#2-creating-fallback-configs) in your gateway configs. (Here’s a [clue](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/cache-simple-and-semantic#how-cache-works-with-configs))

# Tackling Rate Limiting
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/tackling-rate-limiting

LLMs are **costly** to run. As their usage increases, the providers have to balance serving user requests v/s straining their GPU resources too thin. They generally deal with this by putting _rate limits_ on how many requests a user can send in a minute or in a day.

For example, for the text-to-speech model `tts-1-hd` from OpenAI, you can not send **more than 7** requests in minute. Any extra request automatically fails.

There are many real-world use cases where it's possible to run into rate limits:

* When your requests have very high input-tokens count or a very long context, you can hit token thresholds
* When you are running a complex and long prompts pipeline that fires hundreds of requests at once, you can hit both token & request limits

## Here's an overview of rate limits imposed by various providers:

| LLM Provider                                                                    | Example Model         | Rate Limits                                                                   |

Generally, developers tackle getting rate limiting with a few tricks: caching common responses, queuing the requests, reducing the number of requests sent, etc.

**Using Portkey,** you can solve this by just adding a few lines of code to your app once.

In this cookbook, we'll show you **2 ways of ensuring** that your app **never gets rate limited** again:

## 1. Install Portkey SDK

```json theme={"system"}
npm i portkey-ai
```

Let's start by making a generic `chat.completions` call using the Portkey SDK:

```json theme={"system"}
import Portkey from "portkey-ai";

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: process.env.PORTKEYAI_API_KEY,
  virtualKey: process.env.OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,
});

response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages: [ {role: "user", content: "Hello!"} ],
  model: "gpt-4",
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

To ensure your request doesn't get rate limited, we'll utilise Portkey's **fallback** & **loadbalance** features:

## 2. Fallback to Alternative LLMs

With Portkey, you can write a call routing strategy that helps you fallback from one provider to another provider in case of rate limit errors. This is done by passing a Config object while instantiating your Portkey client:

```json theme={"system"}

import Portkey from "portkey-ai";

const portkey = new Portkey({
   apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
   config: JSON.stringify({
      strategy: {
         mode: "fallback",
         on_status_codes:[429]
      },
      targets: [
         {
            provider: "opeanai",
            api_key: "OPENAI_API_KEY"
         },
         {
            provider: "anthropic",
            api_key: "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY",
            override_params: { "max_tokens":254 }
         }
      ],
   }),
});
```

### In this Config object,

* The routing `strategy` is set as `fallback`
* `on_status_codes` param ensures that the fallback is only triggered on the `429` error code, which is generated for rate limit errors
* `targets` array contains the details of the LLMs and the order of the fallback
* The `override_params` in the second target lets you add more params for the specific provider. (`max_tokens` for Anthropic in this case)

That's it! The rest of your code remains the same. Based on the Config, Portkey will do the orchestration and ensure that Anthropic is called as a fallback option whenever you get rate limit errors on OpenAI.

Fallback is still reactive - it only gets triggered once you actually get an error. Portkey also lets you tackle rate limiting proactively:

## 3. Load Balance Among Multiple LLMs

Instead of sending all your requests to a single provider on a single account, you can split your traffic across multiple provider accounts using Portkey - this ensures that a single account does not get overburdened with requests and thus avoids rate limits. It is very easy to setup this "loadbalancing" using Portkey - just write the relevant loadbalance Config and pass it while instantiating your Portkey client once:

```json theme={"system"}

import Portkey from "portkey-ai";

const portkey = new Portkey({
   apiKey: process.env.PORTKEY_API_KEY,
   config: JSON.stringify({
      strategy: {
         mode: "loadbalance",
      },
      targets: [
         {
            provider: "openai", api_key: "OPENAI_KEY_1",
            weight: 1,
         },
         {
            provider: "openai", api_key: "OPENAI_KEY_2",
            weight: 1,
         },
         {
            provider: "openai", api_key: "OPENAI_KEY_3",
            weight: 1,
         },
      ],
   }),
});

```

### In this Config object:

* The routing `strategy` is set as `loadbalance`
* `targets` contain 3 different OpenAI API keys from 3 different accounts, all with equal weight - which means Portkey will split the traffic 1/3rd equally among the 3 keys

With Loadbalance on different accounts, you can effectively multiply your rate limits and make your app much more robust.

## That's it!

You can read more on [fallbacks here](/product/ai-gateway/fallbacks), and on [loadbalance here](/product/ai-gateway/load-balancing). If you want a deep dive on how Configs work on Portkey, [check out the docs here](/product/ai-gateway/configs).


# Trigger Automatic Retries on LLM Failures
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/getting-started/trigger-automatic-retries-on-llm-failures



A sudden timeout or error could harm the user experience and hurt your service's reputation if your application relies on an LLM for a critical feature. To prevent this, it's crucial to have a reliable retry mechanism in place. This will ensure that users are not left frustrated and can depend on your service.

Retrying Requests to Large Langauge Models (LLMs) can significantly increase your Gen AI app's reliability.

It can help you handle cases such as:

1. Cases that timed out (no response from the model)
2. Cases that returned a transient error from the model

In this cookbook, you will learn to use Portkey to automatically retry the requests on specific response status codes and control the times you want to retry.

## 1. Import and Authenticate Portkey Client SDK

Portkey forwards your requests to your desired model and relays the response to your app. Portkey’s Client SDK is one of several ways to make those API calls through the AI gateway.

To install it, type the following in your NodeJS environment:

```js theme={"system"}
npm install portkey-ai
```

Import `Portkey` and instantiate it using the Portkey API Key

```javascript JavaScript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
const portkey = new Portkey({
    apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',
    provider: '@openai-prod'  // Your provider slug from Model Catalog
});
```

At this point, it's essential to understand that you instantiate the `portkey` instance with `apiKey` and `provider` parameters. You can find the Portkey API key in your Dashboard.

Visit the reference to [obtain the Portkey API key](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/authentication) and learn how to [add providers in Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog).

## 2. Gateway Configs to Automatically Retry

For the AI gateway to understand that you want to apply automatic retries to your requests, you must pass Gateway Configs in your request payload. Gateway Configs can be a JS Object or a JSON string.

A typical Gateway Config to automatically retry three times when you hit rate-limits:

```
{
   retry: {
      attempts: 3,
      on_status_codes: [429]
    }
}
```

You created a `retry` object with `attempts` and `on_status_codes` keys. The value of `attempts` can be bumped up to `5` times to retry automatically, while `on_status_codes` is an optional key. By default, Portkey will attempt to retry on the status codes `[429, 500, 502, 503, 504]`.

Refer to the [101 on Gateway Configs](https://github.com/Portkey-AI/gateway/blob/main/cookbook/getting-started/writing-your-first-gateway-config.md).

## 3. Make API calls using Portkey Client SDK

You are now ready to make an API call through Portkey. While there are several ways to make API calls, in this cookbook, let’s pass the gateway configuration during the chat completion call.

```js theme={"system"}
let response = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
  {
    model: 'gpt-4',
    messages: [
      {
        role: 'user',
        content: 'What are 7 wonders of the world?'
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    config: JSON.stringify({
      retry: {
        attempts: 3,
        on_status_codes: [429]
      }
    })
  }
);

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

The Portkey SDK adds the configs in the HTTP headers to apply automatic retries to our requests. Broadly, the signature of the chat completion method:

```js theme={"system"}
await portkey.chat.completions.create( modelParmeters [, gatewayConfigs])
```

## 4. View the Logs

Now that you successfully know how to make API calls through Portkey, it’s also helpful to learn about Logs. You can find all requests sent through Portkey on the **Dashboard** > **Logs** page.

This page provides essential information such as time, cost, and response. Feel free to explore it!

Instead of using your own application-level looping or control structures to implement retries, you can use Portkey’s Gateway Configs to manage all of them.

  ```javascript JavaScript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
  import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: 'YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY',

  });

  let response = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
    {
      model: 'gpt-4',
      messages: [
        {
          role: 'user',
          content: 'What are 7 wonders of the world?'
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      config: JSON.stringify({
        retry: {
          attempts: 3
        }
      })
    }
  );

  console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
  ```

# Anyscale
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/integrations/anyscale

Portkey helps bring Anyscale APIs to production with its abstractions for observability, fallbacks, caching, and more. Use the Anyscale API **through** Portkey for.

1. **Enhanced Logging**: Track API usage with detailed insights.
2. **Production Reliability**: Automated fallbacks, load balancing, and caching.
3. **Continuous Improvement**: Collect and apply user feedback.
4. **Enhanced Fine-Tuning**: Combine logs & user feedback for targetted fine-tuning.

### 1.1 Setup & Logging

1. Set `$ export OPENAI_API_KEY=ANYSCALE_API_KEY`
2. Obtain your [**Portkey API Key**](https://app.portkey.ai/).
3. Switch to **Portkey Gateway URL:** `https://api.portkey.ai/v1/proxy`

See full logs of requests (latency, cost, tokens)—and dig deeper into the data with their analytics suite.

### 2. Caching, Fallbacks, Load Balancing

* **Fallbacks**: Ensure your application remains functional even if a primary service fails.
* **Load Balancing**: Efficiently distribute incoming requests among multiple models.
* **Semantic Caching**: Reduce costs and latency by intelligently caching results.

Toggle these features by saving *Configs* (from the Portkey dashboard > Configs tab).

If we want to enable semantic caching + fallback from Llama2 to Mistral, your Portkey config would look like this:

```py theme={"system"}
{

  "cache": { "mode": "semantic" },

  "strategy": { "mode": "fallback" },

  "targets": [

    {

      "provider": "anyscale",

      "api_key": "...",

      "override_params": { "model": "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf" }

    },

    {

      "provider": "anyscale",

      "api_key": "...",

      "override_params": { "model": "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1" }

    }

  ]

}
```

Now, just send the Config ID with `x-portkey-config` header:

```py theme={"system"}
""" OPENAI PYTHON SDK """

import openai, json

PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"

PORTKEY_HEADERS = {

	'Content-Type': 'application/json',

	'x-portkey-api-key': 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',

	# **************************************

	'x-portkey-config': 'CONFIG_ID'

	# **************************************

}

client = openai.OpenAI(base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, default_headers=PORTKEY_HEADERS)

response = client.chat.completions.create(

	model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1",

	messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}]

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

```py theme={"system"}

    model: 'mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1',

  });

  console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);

	# **************************************

	'x-portkey-config': 'CONFIG_ID'

	# **************************************

}

DATA = {"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What happens when you mix red & yellow?"}]}

response = requests.post(PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, headers=PORTKEY_HEADERS, json=DATA)

print(response.text)
```

```sh theme={"system"}

### 3. Collect Feedback

Gather weighted feedback from users and improve your app:

```py theme={"system"}
""" REQUESTS LIBRARY """

import requests

import json

PORTKEY_FEEDBACK_URL = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/feedback" # Portkey Feedback Endpoint

PORTKEY_HEADERS = {

	"x-portkey-api-key": "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

	"Content-Type": "application/json",

}

DATA = {

	"trace_id": "anyscale_portkey_test", # On Portkey, you can append feedback to a particular Trace ID

	"value": 1,

	"weight": 0.5

}

response = requests.post(PORTKEY_FEEDBACK_URL, headers=PORTKEY_HEADERS, data=json.dumps(DATA))

print(response.text)
```

```sh theme={"system"}
""" CURL """

curl "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/feedback" \

  -H "x-portkey-api-key: PORTKEY_API_KEY" \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

  -d '{

    "trace_id": "anyscale_portkey_test",

    "value": 1,

    "weight": 0.5

  }'
```

### 4. Continuous Fine-Tuning

Once you start logging your requests and their feedback with Portkey, it becomes very easy to 1️) Curate & create data for fine-tuning, 2) Schedule fine-tuning jobs, and 3) Use the fine-tuned models!

Fine-tuning is currently enabled for select orgs - please request access on [Portkey Discord](https://discord.gg/sDk9JaNfK8) and we'll get back to you ASAP.

Nice to meet you! I'm LLaMA, a large language model trained by a team of researcher at Meta AI. My primary function is to generate human-like responses to a wide range of questions and topics, from science and history to entertainment and culture.

I'm not a human, but rather an artificial intelligence designed to simulate conversation and answer questions to the best of my knowledge. I've been trained on a massive dataset of text from the internet and can respond in multiple languages.

I can help with things like:

* Answering questions on a variety of topics

* Generating text on a given topic or subject

* Translating text from one language to another

* Summarizing long pieces of text into shorter, more digestible versions

* Offering suggestions or ideas for creative projects

* Even just having a conversation and chatting about your day or interests!

So, what's on your mind? Want to chat about something specific or just see where the conversation takes us?

chat_complete = client.chat.completions.create(

    model="llama3-70b-8192",

    messages=[{"role": "user",

               "content": "What's the purpose of Generative AI?"}],

)

print(chat_complete.choices[0].message.content)
```

```
The primary purpose of generative AI is to create new, original, and often realistic data or content, such as images, videos, music, text, or speeches, that are similar to those created by humans. Generative AI models are designed to generate new data samples that are indistinguishable from real-world data, allowing for a wide range of applications and possibilities. Some of the main purposes of generative AI include:

1. **Data augmentation**: Generating new data to augment existing datasets, improving machine learning model performance, and reducing overfitting.

2. **Content creation**: Automating the creation of content, such as music, videos, or articles, that can be used for entertainment, education, or marketing purposes.

3. **Simulation and modeling**: Generating synthetic data to simulate real-world scenarios, allowing for experimentation, testing, and analysis in various fields, such as healthcare, finance, or climate modeling.

4. **Personalization**: Creating personalized content, recommendations, or experiences tailored to individual users' preferences and behaviors.

5. **Creative assistance**: Providing tools and inspiration for human creators, such as artists, writers, or musicians, to aid in their creative processes.

6. **Synthetic data generation**: Generating realistic synthetic data to protect sensitive information, such as personal data or confidential business data.

7. **Research and development**: Facilitating research in various domains, such as computer vision, natural language processing, or robotics, by generating new data or scenarios.

8. **Entertainment and leisure**: Creating engaging and interactive experiences, such as games, chatbots, or interactive stories.

9. **Education and training**: Generating educational content, such as interactive tutorials, virtual labs, or personalized learning materials.

10. **Healthcare and biomedical applications**: Generating synthetic medical images, patient data, or clinical trials data to aid in disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and drug discovery.

Some of the key benefits of generative AI include:

* Increased efficiency and productivity

* Improved accuracy and realism

* Enhanced creativity and inspiration

* Accelerated research and development

* Personalized experiences and services

* Cost savings and reduced data collection costs

However, it's essential to address the potential risks and concerns associated with generative AI, such as:

* Misuse and abuse of generated content

* Bias and unfairness in AI-generated data

* Privacy and security concerns

* Job displacement and labor market impacts

As generative AI continues to evolve, it's crucial to develop and implement responsible AI practices, ensuring that these technologies are used for the betterment of society and humanity.

### With Portkey Client

Note: You can safely store your Groq API key in [Portkey](https://app.portkey.ai/) and access models using virtual key

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key = userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY'),   # replace with your Portkey API key

    provider="@groq-431005",   # replace with your virtual key for Groq AI

)
```

```py theme={"system"}
completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(

    messages= [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Who are you?'}],

    model= 'llama3-70b-8192',

    max_tokens=250

)

print(completion)
```

```py theme={"system"}

```

### Advanced Routing - Load Balancing

With load balancing, you can distribute load effectively across multiple API keys or providers based on custom weights to ensure high availability and optimal performance.

Let's take an example where we might want to split traffic between Groq's `llama-3-70b` and OpenAI's `gpt-3.5` giving a weightage of 70-30.

The gateway configuration for this would look like the following:

```py theme={"system"}
config = {

  "strategy": {

      "mode": "loadbalance",

  },

  "targets": [

    {

      "virtual_key": "groq-431005", # Groq virtual key

      "override_params": {"model": "llama3-70b-8192"},

      "weight": 0.7

    },

    {

      "virtual_key": "gpt3-8070a6", # OpenAI virtual key

      "override_params": {"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo-0125"},

      "weight": 0.3

    }

  ]

}
```

```py theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI

from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

from google.colab import userdata

client = OpenAI(

    api_key="X",

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        api_key=userdata.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY"),

        config=config

    )

)

chat_complete = client.chat.completions.create(

    model="X",

    messages=[{"role": "user",

               "content": "Just say hi!"}],

)

print(chat_complete.model)

print(chat_complete.choices[0].message.content)
```

```sh theme={"system"}
gpt-3.5-turbo-0125

Hi! How can I assist you today?
```

# Introduction to GPT-4o
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/integrations/introduction-to-gpt-4o



> This notebook is from OpenAI [Cookbooks](https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/blob/main/examples/gpt4o/introduction%5Fto%5Fgpt4o.ipynb), enhanced with Portkey observability and features

## The GPT-4o Model

GPT-4o ("o" for "omni") is designed to handle a combination of text, audio, and video inputs, and can generate outputs in text, audio, and image formats.

### Current Capabilities

Currently, the API supports `{text, image}` inputs only, with `{text}` outputs, the same modalities as `gpt-4-turbo`. Additional modalities, including audio, will be **introduced soon**.

This guide will help you get started with using GPT-4o for text, image, and video understanding.

## Getting Started

### Install OpenAI SDK for Python

```py theme={"system"}
pip install --upgrade --quiet openai portkey-ai
```

### Configure the OpenAI Client

First, grab your OpenAI API key [here](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys). Now, let's start with a simple  input to the model for our first request. We'll use both `system` and `user` messages for our first request, and we'll receive a response from the `assistant` role.

```py theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI

from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

import os

## Set the API key and model name

MODEL="gpt-4o"

client = OpenAI(

    api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", ""),

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        provider="openai",

        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY" # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")

    )

  )
```

```py theme={"system"}
completion = client.chat.completions.create(

  model=MODEL,

  messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant. Help me with my math homework!"}, # <-- This is the system message that provides context to the model

    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello! Could you solve 2+2?"}  # <-- This is the user message for which the model will generate a response

  ]

)

print("Assistant: " + completion.choices[0].message.content)
```

## Image Processing

GPT-4o can directly process images and take intelligent actions based on the image. We can provide images in two formats:

1. Base64 Encoded
2. URL

Let's first view the image we'll use, then try sending this image as both Base64 and as a URL link to the API

```py theme={"system"}
from IPython.display import Image, display, Audio, Markdown

import base64

IMAGE_PATH = "data/triangle.png"

# Preview image for context

display(Image(IMAGE_PATH))
```

#### Base64 Image Processing

```py theme={"system"}
# Open the image file and encode it as a base64 string

def encode_image(image_path):

    with open(image_path, "rb") as image_file:

        return base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode("utf-8")

base64_image = encode_image(IMAGE_PATH)

response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant that responds in Markdown. Help me with my math homework!"},

        {"role": "user", "content": [

            {"type": "text", "text": "What's the area of the triangle?"},

            {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {

                "url": f"data:image/png;base64,{base64_image}"}

            }

        ]}

    ],

    temperature=0.0,

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

#### URL Image Processing

```py theme={"system"}
response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant that responds in Markdown. Help me with my math homework!"},

        {"role": "user", "content": [

            {"type": "text", "text": "What's the area of the triangle?"},

            {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {

                "url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e2/The_Algebra_of_Mohammed_Ben_Musa_-_page_82b.png"}

            }

        ]}

    ],

    temperature=0.0,

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

## Video Processing

While it's not possible to directly send a video to the API, GPT-4o can understand videos if you sample frames and then provide them as images. It performs better at this task than GPT-4 Turbo.

Since GPT-4o in the API does not yet support audio-in (as of May 2024), we'll use a combination of GPT-4o and Whisper to process both the audio and visual for a provided video, and showcase two usecases:

1. Summarization
2. Question and Answering

### Setup for Video Processing

We'll use two python packages for video processing - opencv-python and moviepy.

These require [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/about.html), so make sure to install this beforehand. Depending on your OS, you may need to run `brew install ffmpeg` or `sudo apt install ffmpeg`

```py theme={"system"}
pip install opencv-python --quiet

pip install moviepy --quiet
```

### Process the video into two components: frames and audio

```py theme={"system"}
import cv2

from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip

import time

import base64

# We'll be using the OpenAI DevDay Keynote Recap video. You can review the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h02ti0Bl6zk

VIDEO_PATH = "data/keynote_recap.mp4"
```

```py theme={"system"}
def process_video(video_path, seconds_per_frame=2):

    base64Frames = []

    base_video_path, _ = os.path.splitext(video_path)

    video = cv2.VideoCapture(video_path)

    total_frames = int(video.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT))

    fps = video.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS)

    frames_to_skip = int(fps * seconds_per_frame)

    curr_frame=0

    # Loop through the video and extract frames at specified sampling rate

    while curr_frame < total_frames - 1:

        video.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, curr_frame)

        success, frame = video.read()

        if not success:

            break

        _, buffer = cv2.imencode(".jpg", frame)

        base64Frames.append(base64.b64encode(buffer).decode("utf-8"))

        curr_frame += frames_to_skip

    video.release()

    # Extract audio from video

    audio_path = f"{base_video_path}.mp3"

    clip = VideoFileClip(video_path)

    clip.audio.write_audiofile(audio_path, bitrate="32k")

    clip.audio.close()

    clip.close()

    print(f"Extracted {len(base64Frames)} frames")

    print(f"Extracted audio to {audio_path}")

    return base64Frames, audio_path

# Extract 1 frame per second. You can adjust the `seconds_per_frame` parameter to change the sampling rate

base64Frames, audio_path = process_video(VIDEO_PATH, seconds_per_frame=1)

```

```py theme={"system"}
## Display the frames and audio for context

display_handle = display(None, display_id=True)

for img in base64Frames:

    display_handle.update(Image(data=base64.b64decode(img.encode("utf-8")), width=600))

    time.sleep(0.025)

Audio(audio_path)
```

### Example 1: Summarization

Now that we have both the video frames and the audio, let's run a few different tests to generate a video summary to compare the results of using the models with different modalities. We should expect to see that the summary generated with context from both visual and audio inputs will be the most accurate, as the model is able to use the entire context from the video.

1. Visual Summary
2. Audio Summary
3. Visual + Audio Summary

#### Visual Summary

The visual summary is generated by sending the model only the frames from the video. With just the frames, the model is likely to capture the visual aspects, but will miss any details discussed by the speaker.

```py theme={"system"}
response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content": "You are generating a video summary. Please provide a summary of the video. Respond in Markdown."},

    {"role": "user", "content": [

        "These are the frames from the video.",

        *map(lambda x: {"type": "image_url",

                        "image_url": {"url": f'data:image/jpg;base64,{x}', "detail": "low"}}, base64Frames)

        ],

    }

    ],

    temperature=0,

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

The model is able to capture the high level aspects of the video visuals, but misses the details provided in the speech.

#### Audio Summary

The audio summary is generated by sending the model the audio transcript. With just the audio, the model is likely to bias towards the audio content, and will miss the context provided by the presentations and visuals.

`{audio}` input for GPT-4o isn't currently available but will be coming soon! For now, we use our existing `whisper-1` model to process the audio

```py theme={"system"}
# Transcribe the audio

transcription = client.audio.transcriptions.create(

    model="whisper-1",

    file=open(audio_path, "rb"),

)

## OPTIONAL: Uncomment the line below to print the transcription

#print("Transcript: ", transcription.text + "\n\n")

response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content":"""You are generating a transcript summary. Create a summary of the provided transcription. Respond in Markdown."""},

    {"role": "user", "content": [

        {"type": "text", "text": f"The audio transcription is: {transcription.text}"}

        ],

    }

    ],

    temperature=0,

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

The audio summary might be biased towards the content discussed during the speech, but comes out with much less structure than the video summary.

#### Audio + Visual Summary

The Audio + Visual summary is generated by sending the model both the visual and the audio from the video at once. When sending both of these, the model is expected to better summarize since it can perceive the entire video at once.

```py theme={"system"}
## Generate a summary with visual and audio

response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content":"""You are generating a video summary. Create a summary of the provided video and its transcript. Respond in Markdown"""},

    {"role": "user", "content": [

        "These are the frames from the video.",

        *map(lambda x: {"type": "image_url",

                        "image_url": {"url": f'data:image/jpg;base64,{x}', "detail": "low"}}, base64Frames),

        {"type": "text", "text": f"The audio transcription is: {transcription.text}"}

        ],

    }

],

    temperature=0,

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

After combining both the video and audio, you'll be able to get a much more detailed and comprehensive summary for the event which uses information from both the visual and audio elements from the video.

### Example 2: Question and Answering

For the Q\&A, we'll use the same concept as before to ask questions of our processed video while running the same 3 tests to demonstrate the benefit of combining input modalities:

1. Visual Q\&A
2. Audio Q\&A
3. Visual + Audio Q\&A

```
QUESTION = "Question: Why did Sam Altman have an example about raising windows and turning the radio on?"
```

```py theme={"system"}
qa_visual_response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content": "Use the video to answer the provided question. Respond in Markdown."},

    {"role": "user", "content": [

        "These are the frames from the video.",

        *map(lambda x: {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": f'data:image/jpg;base64,{x}', "detail": "low"}}, base64Frames),

        QUESTION

        ],

    }

    ],

    temperature=0,

)

print("Visual QA:\n" + qa_visual_response.choices[0].message.content)
```

> ```
> Visual QA:
>
> Sam Altman used the example about raising windows and turning the radio on to demonstrate the function calling capability of GPT-4 Turbo. The example illustrated how the model can interpret and execute multiple commands in a more structured and efficient manner. The "before" and "after" comparison showed how the model can now directly call functions like `raise_windows()` and `radio_on()` based on natural language instructions, showcasing improved control and functionality.
> ```

```py theme={"system"}
qa_audio_response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content":"""Use the transcription to answer the provided question. Respond in Markdown."""},

    {"role": "user", "content": f"The audio transcription is: {transcription.text}. \n\n {QUESTION}"},

    ],

    temperature=0,

)

print("Audio QA:\n" + qa_audio_response.choices[0].message.content)
```

> ```
> Audio QA:
>
> The provided transcription does not include any mention of Sam Altman or an example about raising windows and turning the radio on. Therefore, I cannot provide an answer based on the given transcription.
> ```

```py theme={"system"}
qa_both_response = client.chat.completions.create(

    model=MODEL,

    messages=[

    {"role": "system", "content":"""Use the video and transcription to answer the provided question."""},

    {"role": "user", "content": [

        "These are the frames from the video.",

        *map(lambda x: {"type": "image_url",

                        "image_url": {"url": f'data:image/jpg;base64,{x}', "detail": "low"}}, base64Frames),

                        {"type": "text", "text": f"The audio transcription is: {transcription.text}"},

        QUESTION

        ],

    }

    ],

    temperature=0,

)

print("Both QA:\n" + qa_both_response.choices[0].message.content)
```

> ```
> Both QA:
>
> Sam Altman used the example of raising windows and turning the radio on to demonstrate the improved function calling capabilities of GPT-4 Turbo. The example illustrated how the model can now handle multiple function calls more effectively and follow instructions better. In the "before" scenario, the model had to be prompted separately for each action, whereas in the "after" scenario, the model could handle both actions in a single prompt, showcasing its enhanced ability to manage and execute multiple tasks simultaneously.
> ```

Comparing the three answers, the most accurate answer is generated by using both the audio and visual from the video. Sam Altman did not discuss the raising windows or radio on during the Keynote, but referenced an improved capability for the model to execute multiple functions in a single request while the examples were shown behind him.

## Conclusion

Integrating many input modalities such as audio, visual, and textual, significantly enhances the performance of the model on a diverse range of tasks. This multimodal approach allows for more comprehensive understanding and interaction, mirroring more closely how humans perceive and process information.

## Portkey + Langchain

[Portkey](https://app.portkey.ai/) is the Control Panel for AI apps. With it's popular AI Gateway and Observability Suite, hundreds of teams ship reliable, cost-efficient, and fast apps.

Portkey brings production readiness to Langchain. With Portkey, you can

* Connect to 150+ models through a unified API,
* View 42+ metrics & logs for all requests,
* Enable semantic cache to reduce latency & costs,
* Implement automatic retries & fallbacks for failed requests,
* Add custom tags to requests for better tracking and analysis and more.

### Quickstart

Since Portkey is fully compatible with the OpenAI signature, you can connect to the Portkey AI Gateway through the ChatOpenAI interface.

* Set the `base_url` as `PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL`
* Add `default_headers` to consume the headers needed by Portkey using the `createHeaders` helper method.

To start, get your Portkey API key by signing up [here](https://app.portkey.ai/). (Click the profile icon on the bottom left, then click on " API Key")

```sh theme={"system"}
!pip install -qU portkey-ai langchain-openai
```

We can now connect to the Portkey AI Gateway by updating the `ChatOpenAI` model in Langchain

#### Using OpenAI models with Portkey + ChatOpenAI

```JSON theme={"system"}
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

from google.colab import userdata

portkey_headers = createHeaders(api_key= userdata.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY"), ## Grab from https://app.portkey.ai/

                                provider="openai"

                                )

llm = ChatOpenAI(api_key= userdata.get("OPENAI_API_KEY"),

                 base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

                 default_headers=portkey_headers)

llm.invoke("What is the meaning of life, universe and everything?")
```

#### Using Together AI models with Portkey + ChatOpenAI

```JSON theme={"system"}
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

from google.colab import userdata

portkey_headers = createHeaders(api_key= userdata.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY"), ## Grab from https://app.portkey.ai/

                                provider="together-ai"

                                )

llm = ChatOpenAI(model = "meta-llama/Llama-3-8b-chat-hf",

                 api_key= userdata.get("TOGETHER_API_KEY"), ## Replace it with your provider key

                 base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

                 default_headers=portkey_headers)

llm.invoke("What is the meaning of life, universe and everything?")
```

### Advanced Routing - Load Balancing, Fallbacks, Retries

The Portkey AI Gateway brings capabilities like load-balancing, fallbacks, experimentation and canary testing to Langchain through a configuration-first approach.

Let's take an example where we might want to split traffic between `llama-3-70b` and `gpt-3.5` 50:50 to test the two large models. The gateway configuration for this would look like the following:

```JSON theme={"system"}
config = {

    "strategy": {

         "mode": "loadbalance"

    },

    "targets": [{

        "virtual_key": "gpt3-8070a6", # OpenAI's virtual key

        "override_params": {"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo"},

        "weight": 0.5

# Mistral
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/integrations/mistral

Portkey helps bring Mistral's APIs to production with its observability suite & AI Gateway.

Use the Mistral API **through** Portkey for:

1. **Enhanced Logging**: Track API usage with detailed insights and custom segmentation.
2. **Production Reliability**: Automated fallbacks, load balancing, retries, time outs, and caching.
3. **Continuous Improvement**: Collect and apply user feedback.

### 1.1 Setup & Logging

1. Obtain your [**Portkey API Key**](https://app.portkey.ai/).
2. Set `$ export PORTKEY_API_KEY=PORTKEY_API_KEY`
3. Set `$ export MISTRAL_API_KEY=MISTRAL_API_KEY`
4. `pip install portkey-ai` or `npm i portkey-ai`

```py theme={"system"}
""" OPENAI PYTHON SDK """

from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    # ************************************

    provider="mistral-ai",

    Authorization="Bearer MISTRAL_API_KEY"

    # ************************************

)

response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

    model="mistral-tiny",

    messages = [{ "role": "user", "content": "c'est la vie" }]

)
```

```py theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    // ***********************************

    provider: "mistral-ai",

    Authorization: "Bearer MISTRAL_API_KEH"

    // ***********************************

})

async function main(){

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({

      model: "mistral-tiny",

      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: "c'est la vie" }]

  });

}

main()
```

### 1.2. Enhanced Observability

* **Trace** requests with single id.
* **Append custom tags** for request segmenting & in-depth analysis.

Just add their relevant headers to your request:

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    provider="mistral-ai",

    Authorization="Bearer MISTRAL_API_KEY"

)

response = portkey.with_options(

    # ************************************

    trace_id="ux5a7",

    metadata={"user": "john_doe"}

    # ************************************

).chat.completions.create(

    model="mistral-tiny",

    messages = [{ "role": "user", "content": "c'est la vie" }]

)
```

```py theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    provider: "mistral-ai",

    Authorization: "Bearer MISTRAL_API_KEH"

})

async function main(){

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({

      model: "mistral-tiny",

      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: "c'est la vie" }]

  },{

    // ***********************************

    traceID: "ux5a7",

    metadata: {"user": "john_doe"}

});

}

main()
```

Here’s how your logs will appear on your Portkey dashboard:

<img alt="" />

### 2. Caching, Fallbacks, Load Balancing

* **Fallbacks**: Ensure your application remains functional even if a primary service fails.
* **Load Balancing**: Efficiently distribute incoming requests among multiple models.
* **Semantic Caching**: Reduce costs and latency by intelligently caching results.

Toggle these features by saving *Configs* (from the Portkey dashboard > Configs tab).

If we want to enable semantic caching + fallback from Mistral-Medium to Mistral-Tiny, your Portkey config would look like this:

```py theme={"system"}
{

	"cache": {"mode": "semantic"},

	"strategy": {"mode": "fallback"},

	"targets": [

		{

			"provider": "mistral-ai", "api_key": "...",

			"override_params": {"model": "mistral-medium"}

		},

		{

			"provider": "mistral-ai", "api_key": "...",

			"override_params": {"model": "mistral-tiny"}

		}

	]

}
```

Now, just set the Config ID while instantiating Portkey:

```py theme={"system"}
""" OPENAI PYTHON SDK """

from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    # ************************************

    config="pp-mistral-cache-xx"

    # ************************************

)

response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

    model="mistral-tiny",

    messages = [{ "role": "user", "content": "c'est la vie" }]

)
```

```js theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

    // ***********************************

    config: "pp-mistral-cache-xx"

    // ***********************************

})

async function main(){

  const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({

      model: "mistral-tiny",

      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: "c'est la vie" }]

  });

}

main()
```

For more on Configs and other gateway feature like Load Balancing, [check out the docs.](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations)

### 3. Collect Feedback

Gather weighted feedback from users and improve your app:

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY"

)

def send_feedback():

    portkey.feedback.create(

        'trace_id'= 'REQUEST_TRACE_ID',

        'value'= 0  # For thumbs down

    )

send_feedback()
```

```py theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"

});

const sendFeedback = async () => {

    await portkey.feedback.create({

        traceID: "REQUEST_TRACE_ID",

        value: 1  // For thumbs up

    });

}

await sendFeedback();
```

#### Conclusion

Integrating Portkey with Mistral helps you build resilient LLM apps from the get-go. With features like semantic caching, observability, load balancing, feedback, and fallbacks, you can ensure optimal performance and continuous improvement.

# Segmind
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/integrations/segmind



[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/11FexuOKWtc-0lvlxNt7L4gvIDYli8MdP?usp=sharing)

## Portkey + Segmind

[Portkey](https://app.portkey.ai/) is the Control Panel for AI apps. With it's popular AI Gateway and Observability Suite, hundreds of teams ship reliable, cost-efficient, and fast apps.

With Portkey, you can

* Connect to 150+ models through a unified API,
* View 40+ metrics & logs for all requests,
* Enable semantic cache to reduce latency & costs,
* Implement automatic retries & fallbacks for failed requests,
* Add custom tags to requests for better tracking and analysis and more.

**Segmind** provides serverless APIs for hundreds of [generative models](https://www.segmind.com/models) that can be applied to a specific task that your application wants to accomplish. You can grab the APIs from the model page to get started with integrating them with your app. Before you can start making API calls, you will need an API key to authenticate your application.

**Display Image ( Utility function )**

```py theme={"system"}
import base64

import io

from PIL import Image

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def display_image(image):

  # Assuming your data is stored in a variable named `response_data`

  response_data = image.data

  print(response_data)

  # Extract the base64-encoded image data  (This if condition is only if we fallback to Dall-E as dall e doesn't provide b64_json instead it gives the direct url)

  if (response_data[0].url):

    print(response_data[0].url)

  else:

    b64_image_data = response_data[0].b64_json

    # Decode the base64-encoded image data

    image_data = base64.b64decode(b64_image_data)

    # Convert the decoded image data into a PIL image object

    image = Image.open(io.BytesIO(image_data))

    # Display the image using Matplotlib

    plt.imshow(image)

    plt.axis('off')  # Hide axis

    plt.show()

```

### Quickstart

Since Portkey is fully compatible with the OpenAI signature, you can connect to the Portkey AI Gateway through OpenAI Client.

* Set the `base_url` as `PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL`
* Add `default_headers` to consume the headers needed by Portkey using the `createHeaders` helper method.

You will need Portkey and Segmind API keys to run this notebook.

* Sign up for Portkey and generate your API key [here](https://app.portkey.ai/).
* Get your Segmind key [here](https://cloud.segmind.com/console/api-keys)

### With OpenAI Client

```py theme={"system"}
!pip install -qU portkey-ai
```

```py theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI

from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

from google.colab import userdata

client = OpenAI(

    api_key=userdata.get('SEGMIND_API_KEY'),  # replace with your Segmind API key

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        provider="segmind",

        api_key=userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY')  # replace with your Portkey API key

    )

)
```

```py theme={"system"}
image = client.images.generate(

    prompt="A stunning landscape with a mountain range and a lake",

    model="sdxl1.0-newreality-lightning"  # replace with the actual model name

)

display_image(image)
```

## With Portkey Client

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key= userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY'),

    provider="@segmind-e63290"

)
```

```py theme={"system"}
image = portkey.images.generate(

  model="sdxl1.0-newreality-lightning",

  prompt="Humans and Robots in parallel universe",

  size="1024x1024"

)

display_image(image)
```

### `Optional` Advanced Routing - Fallbacks

The Fallback feature allows you to specify a list of providers/models in a prioritized order. If the primary LLM fails to respond or encounters an error, Portkey will automatically fallback to the next LLM in the list, ensuring your application's robustness and reliability.

To enable fallbacks, you can modify the [config object](https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/config-object) to include the fallback mode.

Note: You can create and store custom configurations on [Portkey](https://app.portkey.ai/).

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key= userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY'),

    # Fallback to Dall-E  (If segmind fails)

    config="pc-segmin-ab3d5d", # Config key, Generated when you create a config

    provider="@test-segmind-643f94"

)
```

```py theme={"system"}
image = portkey.images.generate(

  model="sdxl1.0-newreality-lightning",

  prompt="Humans and Robots in parallel universe",

  size="1024x1024"

)

display_image(image)
```

# Vercel AI
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/integrations/vercel-ai

Portkey is a control panel for your Vercel AI app. It makes your LLM integrations prod-ready, reliable, fast, and cost-efficient.

Use Portkey with your Vercel app for:

1. Calling 100+ LLMs (open & closed)
2. Logging & analysing LLM usage
3. Caching responses
4. Automating fallbacks, retries, timeouts, and load balancing
5. Managing, versioning, and deploying prompts
6. Continuously improving app with user feedback

## Guide: Create a Portkey + OpenAI Chatbot

### 1. Create a NextJS app

Go ahead and create a Next.js application, and install `ai` and `portkey-ai` as dependencies.

```sh theme={"system"}
pnpm dlx create-next-app my-ai-app

cd my-ai-app

pnpm install ai @ai-sdk/openai portkey-ai
```

### 2. Add Authentication keys to `.env`

1. Login to Portkey [here](https://app.portkey.ai/)
2. To integrate OpenAI with Portkey, add your OpenAI API key to Portkey’s Virtual Keys
3. This will give you a disposable key that you can use and rotate instead of directly using the OpenAI API key
4. Grab the Virtual key & your Portkey API key and add them to `.env` file:

```sh theme={"system"}
# ".env"

PORTKEY_API_KEY="xxxxxxxxxx"

OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY="xxxxxxxxxx"
```

### 3. Create Route Handler

Create a Next.js Route Handler that utilizes the Edge Runtime to generate a chat completion. Stream back to Next.js.

For this example, create a route handler at `app/api/chat/route.ts` that calls GPT-4 and accepts a `POST` request with a messages array of strings:

```py theme={"system"}
// filename="app/api/chat/route.ts"

import { streamText } from 'ai';

import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai';

import { createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from 'portkey-ai';

// Create a OpenAI client

const client = createOpenAI({

    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    apiKey: "xx",

    headers: createHeaders({

        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

        virtualKey: "OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY"

    }),

})

// Set the runtime to edge for best performance

export const runtime = 'edge';

export async function POST(req: Request) {

  const { messages } = await req.json();

  // Invoke Chat Completion

  const response = await streamText({

    model: client('gpt-3.5-turbo'),

    messages

  })

  // Respond with the stream

  return response.toTextStreamResponse();

}
```

Portkey follows the same signature as OpenAI SDK but extends it to work with **100+ LLMs**. Here, the chat completion call will be sent to the `gpt-3.5-turbo` model, and the response will be streamed to your Next.js app.

### 4. Switch from OpenAI to Anthropic

Portkey is powered by an [open-source, universal AI Gateway](https://github.com/portkey-ai/gateway) with which you can route to 100+ LLMs using the same, known OpenAI spec.

Let’s see how you can switch from GPT-4 to Claude-3-Opus by updating 2 lines of code (without breaking anything else).

1. Add your Anthropic API key or AWS Bedrock secrets to Portkey’s Virtual Keys
2. Update the virtual key while instantiating your Portkey client
3. Update the model name while making your `/chat/completions` call
4. Add maxTokens field inside streamText invocation (Anthropic requires this field)

Let’s see it in action:

```py theme={"system"}
const client = createOpenAI({

    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    apiKey: "xx",

    headers: createHeaders({

        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

        virtualKey: "ANTHROPIC_VIRTUAL_KEY"

    }),

})

// Set the runtime to edge for best performance

export const runtime = 'edge';

export async function POST(req: Request) {

  const { messages } = await req.json();

  // Invoke Chat Completion

  const response = await streamText({

    model: client('claude-3-opus-20240229'),

    messages,

    maxTokens: 200

  })

  // Respond with the stream

  return response.toTextStreamResponse();

}
```

### 5. Switch to Gemini 1.5

Similarly, you can just add your [Google AI Studio API key](https://aistudio.google.com/app/) to Portkey and call Gemini 1.5:

```py theme={"system"}
const client = createOpenAI({

    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    apiKey: "xx",

    headers: createHeaders({

        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",

        virtualKey: "GEMINI_VIRTUAL_KEY"

    }),

})

// Set the runtime to edge for best performance

export const runtime = 'edge';

export async function POST(req: Request) {

  const { messages } = await req.json();

  // Invoke Chat Completion

  const response = await streamText({

    model: client('gemini-1.5-flash'),

    messages

  })

  // Respond with the stream

  return response.toTextStreamResponse();

}
```

The same will follow for all the other providers like **Azure**, **Mistral**, **Anyscale**, **Together**, and [more](https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/provider-endpoints/supported-providers).

### 6. Wire up the UI

Let's create a Client component that will have a form to collect the prompt from the user and stream back the completion. The `useChat` hook will default use the `POST` Route Handler we created earlier (`/api/chat`). However, you can override this default value by passing an `api` prop to useChat(`{ api: '...'}`).

```py theme={"system"}
//"app/page.tsx"

'use client';

import { useChat } from 'ai/react';

export default function Chat() {

  const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit } = useChat();

  return (


      {messages.map((m) => (


          {m.role === 'user' ? 'User: ' : 'AI: '}

          {m.content}
      ))}
  );
}
```

### 7. Log the Requests

Portkey logs all the requests you’re sending to help you debug errors, and get request-level + aggregate insights on costs, latency, errors, and more.

You can enhance the logging by tracing certain requests, passing custom metadata or user feedback.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

**Segmenting Requests with Metadata**

While Creating the Client, you can pass any `{"key":"value"}` pairs inside the metadata header. Portkey segments the requests based on the metadata to give you granular insights.

```sh theme={"system"}
const client = createOpenAI({

    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    apiKey: "xx",

    headers: createHeaders({

        apiKey: {PORTKEY_API_KEY},

        virtualKey: {GEMINI_VIRTUAL_KEY},

        metadata: {

          _user: 'john doe',

          organization_name: 'acme',

          custom_key: 'custom_value'

## Guide: Handle OpenAI Failures

### 1. Solve 5xx, 4xx Errors

Portkey helps you automatically trigger a call to any other LLM/provider in case of primary failures.[Create](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/configs) a fallback logic with Portkey’s Gateway Config.

For example, for setting up a fallback from OpenAI to Anthropic, the Gateway Config would be:

```sh theme={"system"}
{

  "strategy": { "mode": "fallback" },

  "targets": [{ "virtual_key": "openai-virtual-key" }, { "virtual_key": "anthropic-virtual-key" }]

}
```

You can save this Config in Portkey app and get an associated Config ID that you can pass while instantiating your LLM client:

### 2. Apply Config to the Route Handler

```sh theme={"system"}
const client = createOpenAI({

    baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    apiKey: "xx",

    headers: createHeaders({

        apiKey: {PORTKEY_API_KEY},

        config: {CONFIG_ID}

    }),

})
```

### 3. Handle Rate Limit Errors

You can loadbalance your requests against multiple LLMs or accounts and prevent any one account from hitting rate limit thresholds.

For example, to route your requests between 1 OpenAI and 2 Azure OpenAI accounts:

```sh theme={"system"}
{

  "strategy": { "mode": "loadbalance" },

  "targets": [

    { "virtual_key": "openai-virtual-key", "weight": 1 },

    { "virtual_key": "azure-virtual-key-1", "weight": 1 },

    { "virtual_key": "azure-virtual-key-2", "weight": 1 }

  ]

}
```

Save this Config in the Portkey app and pass it while instantiating the LLM Client, just like we did above.

Portkey can also trigger [automatic retries](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/automatic-retries), set [request timeouts](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/request-timeouts), and more.

## Guide: Cache Semantically Similar Requests

Portkey can save LLM costs & reduce latencies 20x by storing responses for semantically similar queries and serving them from cache.

For Q\&A use cases, cache hit rates go as high as 50%. To enable semantic caching, just set the `cache` `mode` to `semantic` in your Gateway Config:

```sh theme={"system"}
{

  "cache": { "mode": "semantic" }

}
```

Same as above, you can save your cache Config in the Portkey app, and reference the Config ID while instantiating the LLM Client.

Moreover, you can set the `max-age` of the cache and force refresh a cache. See the [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/cache-simple-and-semantic) for more information.

## Guide: Manage Prompts Separately

Storing prompt templates and instructions in code is messy. Using Portkey, you can create and manage all of your app’s prompts in a single place and directly hit our prompts API to get responses. Here’s more on [what Prompts on Portkey can do](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/prompt-library).

To create a Prompt Template,

1. From the Dashboard, Open **Prompts**
2. In the **Prompts** page, Click **Create**
3. Add your instructions, variables, and You can modify model parameters and click **Save**

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Trigger the Prompt in the Route Handler

```sh theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

const portkey = new Portkey({

    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"

})

export async function POST(req: Request) {

  const { movie } = await req.json();

  const moviePromptRender = await portkey.prompts.render({

        promptID: "PROMPT_ID",

        variables: { "movie": movie }

    })

  const messages = moviePromptRender.data.messages

  const response = await streamText({

    model: client('gemini-1.5-flash'),

    messages

  })

  return response.toTextStreamResponse();

}
```

See [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/prompts/prompt-completion) for more information.

# Build a chatbot using Portkey's Prompt Templates
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/prompts/build-a-chatbot-using-portkeys-prompt-templates

Portkey's prompt templates offer a powerful solution for testing and building chatbots.

Building production-grade chatbots comes with its share of challenges. From managing conversation context and engineering prompts to ensuring consistent responses across different scenarios – the development process can quickly become complex. Add in the need for version control, testing different configurations, and maintaining production stability, and you've got quite a puzzle to solve.
This is where Portkey's prompt templates come in. More than just a development tool, Portkey provides a complete ecosystem for building, testing, and deploying chatbots with confidence. You'll be able to:

* Experiment with different prompt configurations while maintaining version control
* Test your chatbot's responses in real-time with an interactive playground
* Portkey's robust **versioning system** ensures that you can experiment freely with your prompts, allowing for easy rollback.
* Experiment with different models and configurations to find the best fit for your use case

In this guide, we'll walk through the process of building a production-ready chatbot using Portkey's prompt templates. Whether you're creating a customer service bot, a knowledge assistant, or any other conversational AI application, you'll learn how to leverage Portkey's features to build a robust solution that scales.
Here's the link to the collab notebook of the chatbot-

[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1BZGkDisia%5FbeCibB3eaep0n87cIcqShR?usp=sharing)

## Setting Up Your Chatbot

Go to [Portkey's Prompts dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/prompts). Click on the **Create** button. You are now on Prompt Playground.

### Step 1: Define Your System Prompt

Start by defining your system prompt. This sets the initial context and behavior for your chatbot. You can set this up in your Portkey's Prompt Library using the **JSON View**

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

```js theme={"system"}
[
  {
    "content": "You're a helpful assistant.",
    "role": "system"
  },
  {{chat_history}}
]
```

### Step 2: Create a Variable to Store Conversation History

In the Portkey UI, set the variable type: Look for two icons next to the variable name: "T" and "\{..}". Click the "\{...}" icon to switch to **JSON** **mode**.

**Initialize the variable:** This array will store the conversation history, allowing your chatbot to maintain context. We can just initialize the variable with `[]`.

<Note>
  As your chatbot interacts with users, it will append new messages to this array, building a comprehensive conversation history.
</Note>

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

### Step 3: Implementing the Chatbot

Use Portkey's API to generate responses based on your prompt template. Here's a Python example::

```js theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey
client = Portkey(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"  # You can also set this as an environment variable
)

def generate_response(conversation_history):
    prompt_completion = client.prompts.completions.create(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",  # Replace with your actual prompt ID
        variables={
            "variable": conversation_history
        }
    )

    return prompt_completion.choices[0].message.content

# Example usage

conversation_history = [
    {
        "content": "Hello, how can I assist you today?",
        "role": "assistant"
    },
    {
        "content": "What's the weather like?",
        "role": "user"
    }
]

response = generate_response(conversation_history)

print(response)
```

### Step 4: Append the Response

After generating a response, append it to your conversation history:

```js theme={"system"}
def append_response(conversation_history, response):

    conversation_history.append({

        "content": response,

        "role": "assistant"

    })

    return conversation_history

# Continuing from the previous example

conversation_history = append_response(conversation_history, response)
```

### Step 5: Take User Input to Continue the Conversation

Implement a loop to continuously take user input and generate responses:

```python theme={"system"}
# Continue the conversation
while True:
    user_input = input("You: ")
    if user_input.lower() == 'exit':
        break

    conversation_history.append({
        "content": user_input,
        "role": "user"
    })

    response = generate_response(conversation_history)
    conversation_history = append_response(conversation_history, response)

    print("Bot:", response)
print("Conversation ended.")
```

### Complete Example

Here's a complete example that puts all these steps together:

```py theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

client = Portkey(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)

def generate_response(conversation_history):
    prompt_completion = client.prompts.completions.create(
        prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
        variables={
            "variable": conversation_history
        }
    )

    return prompt_completion.choices[0].message.content

def append_response(conversation_history, response):
    conversation_history.append({
        "content": response,
        "role": "assistant"
    })

    return conversation_history

# Initial conversation

conversation_history = [
    {
        "content": "Hello, how can I assist you today?",
        "role": "assistant"
    }
]

# Generate and append response

response = generate_response(conversation_history)

conversation_history = append_response(conversation_history, response)

print("Bot:", response)

# Continue the conversation

while True:
    user_input = input("You: ")
    if user_input.lower() == 'exit':
        break

    conversation_history.append({
        "content": user_input,
        "role": "user"
    })

    response = generate_response(conversation_history)
    conversation_history = append_response(conversation_history, response)

    print("Bot:", response)

print("Conversation ended.")
```

## Conclusion

Voilà! You've successfully set up your chatbot using Portkey's prompt templates. Portkey enables you to experiment with various LLM providers. It acts as a definitive source of truth for your team, and it versions each snapshot of model parameters, allowing for easy rollback. Here's a snapshot of the Prompt Management UI.

# Optimizing Prompts for Customer Support using Portkey | LLama Prompt Ops Integration
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/prompts/llama-prompts



Llama Prompt Ops is a Python package that automatically optimizes prompts for Llama models. It transforms prompts that work well with other LLMs into prompts that are optimized for Llama models, improving performance and reliability.

This guide shows you how to combine Llama Prompt Ops with Portkey to optimize prompts for Llama models using enterprise-grade LLM infrastructure. You'll build a system that analyzes support messages to extract urgency, sentiment, and relevant service categories.

<Card href="https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-prompt-ops" icon="link">
  Learn More about Llama Prompt Ops on it's Official Github
</Card>

You can explore the complete dataset and prompt in the use-cases/facility-support-analyzer directory, which contains the sample data and system prompts used in this guide. By using Portkey, you'll gain access to:

* **1600+ LLM models** through a unified API interface
* **Enterprise-grade controls** for production deployments
* **Comprehensive observability** with 40+ key metrics and request logs
* **Governance features** including spend tracking and budget limits
* **Security guardrails** like PII detection and content filtering

Portkey provides a drop-in replacement for LLM providers in the llama-prompt-ops workflow, requiring minimal configuration changes.

### Understanding the Facility Support Analyzer

Before diving into the installation, let's take a closer look at the components of this use case. You can find all the relevant files in the [use-cases/facility-support-analyzer](https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-prompt-ops/blob/main/use-cases/facility-support-analyzer) directory:

* `facility_prompt_sys.txt` - System prompt for the task
* `facility_v2_test.json`- Dataset with customer service messages
* `facility-simple.yaml` - Simple configuration file
* `eval.ipynb`- Evaluation notebook

### Existing System Prompt

The system prompt instructs the LLM to analyze customer service messages and extract structured information in JSON format:

````
You are a helpful assistant. Extract and return a json with the following keys and values:
- "urgency" as one of `high`, `medium`, `low`
- "sentiment" as one of `negative`, `neutral`, `positive`
- "categories" Create a dictionary with categories as keys and boolean values (True/False), where the value indicates whether the category is one of the best matching support category tags from: `emergency_repair_services`, `routine_maintenance_requests`, `quality_and_safety_concerns`, `specialized_cleaning_services`, `general_inquiries`, `sustainability_and_environmental_practices`, `training_and_support_requests`, `cleaning_services_scheduling`, `customer_feedback_and_complaints`, `facility_management_issues`
Your complete message should be a valid json string that can be read directly and only contain the keys mentioned in the list above. Never enclose it in ```json...```, no newlines, no unnessacary whitespaces.
````

### Dataset Format

The dataset consists of customer service messages in JSON format. Each entry contains:

1. An input field with the customer's message (typically an email or support ticket)
2. An answer field with the expected JSON output containing urgency, sentiment, and categories

Example entry:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "fields": {
    "input": "Subject: Urgent HVAC Repair Needed\n\nHi ProCare Support Team,\n\nI'm reaching out with an urgent issue that needs immediate attention. Our HVAC system has been acting up for the past two days, and it's starting to affect the comfort of our living space. I've tried resetting the system and checking the filters, but nothing seems to work.\n\nCould you please send someone over as soon as possible?\n\nThank you,\n[Sender]"
  },
  "answer": "{\"categories\": {\"routine_maintenance_requests\": false, \"customer_feedback_and_complaints\": false, \"training_and_support_requests\": false, \"quality_and_safety_concerns\": false, \"sustainability_and_environmental_practices\": false, \"cleaning_services_scheduling\": false, \"specialized_cleaning_services\": false, \"emergency_repair_services\": true, \"facility_management_issues\": false, \"general_inquiries\": false}, \"sentiment\": \"positive\", \"urgency\": \"high\"}"
}
```

### Metric Calculation

The FacilityMetric evaluates the model's outputs by comparing them to the ground truth answers. It checks:

1. **Urgency Classification**: Accuracy in determining if a request is high, medium, or low priority
2. **Sentiment Analysis**: Accuracy in classifying the customer's tone as positive, neutral, or negative
3. **Category Tagging**: Precision and recall in identifying the correct service categories

The metric parses both the predicted and ground truth JSON outputs, compares them field by field, and calculates an overall score that reflects how well the model is performing on this task.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* Python 3.10 or later installed
* A Portkey account (sign up at [portkey.ai](https://app.portkey.ai))
* The llama-prompt-ops repository (either installed via pip or cloned from GitHub)

# Step 1: Setting up Portkey

Portkey allows you to use 1600+ LLMs with your llama-prompt-ops setup, with minimal configuration required. Let's set up the core components in Portkey that you'll need for integration.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Virtual Key">
    Virtual Keys are Portkey's secure way to manage your LLM provider API keys. Think of them like disposable credit cards for your LLM API keys, providing essential controls like:

    * Budget limits for API usage
    * Rate limiting capabilities
    * Secure API key storage

    To create a virtual key:
    Go to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in the Portkey App. Save and copy the virtual key ID

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      Save your virtual key ID - you'll need it for the next step.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Default Config">
    Configs in Portkey are JSON objects that define how your requests are routed. They help with implementing features like advanced routing, fallbacks, and retries.

    We need to create a default config to route our requests to the virtual key created in Step 1.

    To create your config:

    1. Go to [Configs](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in Portkey dashboard
    2. Create new config with:
       ```json theme={"system"}
       {
           "virtual_key": "YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY_FROM_STEP1",
          	"override_params": {
             "model": "gpt-4o" // Your preferred model name
           }
       }

       ```
    3. Save and note the Config name for the next step

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      This basic config connects to your virtual key. You can add more advanced portkey features later.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Portkey API Key">
    Now create Portkey API key access point and attach the config you created in Step 2:

    1. Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) in Portkey and Create new API key
    2. Select your config from `Step 2`
    3. Generate and save your API key

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Note>
      Save your API key securely - you'll need it for llama-prompt-ops integration.
    </Note>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Step 2: Configure llama-prompt-ops to Use Portkey

With Portkey set up, we now need to configure llama-prompt-ops to use Portkey instead of OpenRouter.

### 2.1 Create Your Project

If you haven't already, create a sample project:

```bash theme={"system"}
# Install llama-prompt-ops if you haven't already
pip install llama-prompt-ops

# Create a sample project
llama-prompt-ops create my-project
cd my-project
```

### 2.2 Update the `.env` File

Replace the OpenRouter API key with your Portkey API key:

```bash theme={"system"}
# Replace the existing API key line with:
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_portkey_api_key_here
```

### 2.3 Update the Configuration File

Modify your `config.yaml` file to use Portkey instead of OpenRouter:

```yaml theme={"system"}
system_prompt:
  file: prompts/prompt.txt
  inputs:
  - question
  outputs:
  - answer
dataset:
  path: data/dataset.json
  input_field:
  - fields
  - input
  golden_output_field: answer
metric:
  class: llama_prompt_ops.core.metrics.FacilityMetric
  strict_json: false
  output_field: answer
optimization:
  strategy: llama
model:
  name: openai/openai/gpt-4o  # The model you want to use
  api_base: "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"  # Portkey API endpoint
  temperature: 0.0
  max_tokens: 300
  task_model: openai/openai/gpt-4o  # For task model
  proposer_model: openai/openai/gpt-4o  # For proposer model
```

**Important Notes:**

1. The `name` parameter can be set to `openai/openai/gpt-4o` or any other model identifier, but the actual model selection is handled by your Portkey config.
2. Make sure to set `api_base` to `"https://api.portkey.ai/v1"`.
3. If you're using task\_model and proposer\_model, update those as well.

## Step 3: Run Optimization with Portkey

Now you're ready to run llama-prompt-ops with Portkey:

```bash theme={"system"}
llama-prompt-ops migrate
```

The tool will run the optimization process using your Portkey configuration, which will:

1. Connect to Portkey's API
2. Use the model specified in your Portkey config
3. Log all requests and metrics in your Portkey dashboard

## Example Output

The optimized prompt will be saved in the `results/` directory with a filename like `facility-simple_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.yaml`. When you open this file, you'll see something like this:

```yaml theme={"system"}
system: |-
Analyze the customer's message and determine the level of urgency, sentiment, and relevant categories. Extract and return a json with the keys "urgency", "sentiment", and "categories". The "urgency" key should have a value of "high", "medium", or "low", the "sentiment" key should have a value of "negative", "neutral", or "positive", and the "categories" key should have a dictionary with categories as keys and boolean values indicating whether the category is a best matching support category tag. The categories should include "emergency_repair_services", "routine_maintenance_requests", "quality_and_safety_concerns", "specialized_cleaning_services", "general_inquiries", "sustainability_and_environmental_practices", "training_and_support_requests", "cleaning_services_scheduling", "customer_feedback_and_complaints", and "facility_management_issues".

  Few-shot examples:

  Example 1:
      Question: Our office bathroom needs cleaning urgently. The toilets are clogged and there's water on the floor.
      Answer: {"urgency": "high", "sentiment": "negative", "categories": {"emergency_repair_services": true, "specialized_cleaning_services": true, "facility_management_issues": true, "emergency_repair_services": false, "routine_maintenance_requests": false, "quality_and_safety_concerns": false, "general_inquiries": false, "sustainability_and_environmental_practices": false, "training_and_support_requests": false, "customer_feedback_and_complaints": false}}
```

# Building an LLM-as-a-Judge System for AI (Customer Support) Agent
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/prompts/llm-as-a-judge



> Before reading this guide: We recommend checking out [Hamel Husain's excellent post on LLM-as-a-Judge](https://hamel.dev/blog/posts/llm-judge/). This cookbook implements the principles discussed in Hamel's post, providing a practical walkthrough of building LLM-as-a-judge evaluation .

## Introduction

AI-powered customer support agents are great, but how do you ensure they provide high-quality responses at scale?

You need a system that can automatically evaluate customer support interactions by analyzing both the customer's query and the AI agent's response. This system should determine whether the response meets quality standards, provide a detailed critique explaining the reasoning behind the judgment, and scale easily to run tests on thousands of interactions.

Quality assurance for customer support interactions is critical but increasingly challenging as AI Agents handle more customer conversations. Manual reviews are great but they don't scale.

The "LLM-as-a-Judge" approach offers a powerful solution to this challenge. This guide will show you how to build an automated evaluation system that scales to thousands of interactions. By the end, you'll have a robust workflow that helps you improve AI agents responses.

## What We're Building

We'll create an LLM as a judge workflow that evaluates customer support interactions by analyzing both the customer's query and the AI agent's response. For each interaction, our system will:

1. Determine whether the response meets quality standards (pass/fail)
2. Provide a detailed critique explaining the reasoning behind the judgment
3. Scale easily to run tests on thousands of interactions

**Use Case Example**:

Imagine you're building a customer support AI agent. Your challenges include:

* Ensuring consistent quality across all AI responses
* Identifying patterns of problematic responses
* Maintaining security and compliance standards
* Quickly detecting when the AI is providing incorrect information

With an LLM-as-a-Judge system, you can:

* Get specific feedback on why responses fail to meet standards
* Identify trends and systematic issues in your support system
* Provide targeted training and improvements based on detailed critiques
* Quickly validate whether changes to your AI agent have improved response quality

## System Architecture: How It Works

```

**Industry Best Practices for AI Agent Evaluation**

Before diving into implementation, let's briefly look at evaluation approaches for customer support AI:

* **Human Evaluation**: The gold standard, but doesn't scale
* **Offline Benchmarking**: Testing against curated datasets with known answers
* **Online Evaluation**: Monitoring live interactions and collecting user feedback
* **Multi-dimensional Scoring**: Evaluating across different attributes (accuracy, helpfulness, tone)
* **LLM-as-a-Judge**: Using a powerful model to simulate expert human judgment

This cookbook focuses on building a robust LLM-as-a-Judge system that balances accuracy with scalability, allowing you to evaluate thousands of customer interactions automatically.

## Working with [Portkey's Prompt Studio](/product/prompt-engineering-studio)

We will be using [Prompt Studio](/product/prompt-engineering-studio) in this cookbook. Unlike traditional approaches where prompts are written directly in code, Portkey allows you to:

* Create and manage prompts through an intuitive UI
* Version control your prompts
* Access prompts via simple API calls
* Deploy prompts to different environments

We use Mustache templating `{{variable}}` in our prompts, which allows for dynamic content insertion. This makes our prompts more flexible and reusable.

**What are Prompt Partials?**

Prompt partials are reusable components in Portkey that let you modularize parts of your prompts. Think of them like building blocks that can be combined to create complex prompts. In this guide, we'll create several partials (company info, guidelines, examples) and then combine them in a main prompt.

To follow this guide, you will need to create prompt partials first, then create the main template in the Portkey UI, and finally access them using the prompt\_id inside your codebase.

## Step-by-Step Guide to Building LLM-as-a-Judge

**The Judge Prompt Structure**
To build an effective LLM judge, we need to create a well-structured prompt that gives the model all the context it needs to make accurate evaluations. Our judge prompt will consist of four main components:

* Company Information - Details about your company, products, and support policies that help the judge understand the context of customer interactions
* Evaluation Guidelines - Specific criteria for what makes a good or bad response in your customer support context
* Golden Examples - Sample evaluations that demonstrate how to apply the guidelines to real iteractions
* Main Judge Template - This brings everything together and creates the Judgement System

#### Step 1: Define Your Company Information in a Partial

First, we'll create a partial that provides context about your company, products, and support policies. This helps the judge evaluate responses in the proper context.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Here's an example of what your company info partial might look like:

<Accordion title="Company Info Prompt Partial">
  TechConnect Electronics is a consumer electronics retailer founded in 2016 that sells smartphones, computers, audio equipment, and smart home devices through its website and 42 physical stores. The company offers a 30-day return policy on most items (15 days for opened software and select accessories), free shipping on orders over \$50, and a 24/7 customer support team available via chat, email, and phone. TechConnect distinguishes itself with its "TechConnect Plus" membership program offering extended warranties and exclusive discounts, as well as its "Tech Support Plus" service providing personalized setup assistance and troubleshooting.
</Accordion>

This partial gives the judge important context about your products, return policy, shipping policies, support channels, and special programs. Customize this to match your own company's specifics.

After creating this partial in Portkey, you'll get a partial ID (e.g., `pl-llm-as-0badba`) that you'll reference in your main prompt template.

#### Step 2: Define the Evaluation Guidelines Partial

Next, create a partial that defines the criteria for evaluating responses. This ensures consistent quality standards.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Here's an example of evaluation guidelines:

<Accordion title="Judge Guidelines Partial Prompt">
  When evaluating AI chatbot responses, first assess whether the response directly answers the customer's specific question with accurate and complete information. Check if the response verifies necessary customer details (like order eligibility or account status) when appropriate. Look for clarity of instructions, proactive offering of relevant next steps, and appropriate tone/empathy for the situation. Good responses address the specific query with complete information and clear next steps, while bad responses provide generic information, miss verification opportunities, lack critical details, or fail to acknowledge customer emotions. Your critique should be concise (2-4 sentences) and include a clear "good" or "bad" outcome assessment.
</Accordion>

These guidelines define your primary evaluation criteria, secondary considerations, what constitutes good vs. bad responses, and format requirements for critiques. You can adjust these based on what matters most for your specific customer support context.

After creating this partial, you'll receive another partial ID (e.g., `pl-llm-as-1e1952`) to reference in your main template.

#### Step 3: Create Golden Examples Partial

Now create a partial with example evaluations. These examples "teach" the LLM what good and bad responses look like in your specific context.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Here's what your examples partial might look like:

<Accordion title="Golden Example Partial Prompt">
  ```
  <example-1>
  <nlq>Where is my order #45789?</nlq>
  <query>
  Your order #45789 is currently in transit. According to our tracking information, it was shipped yesterday and is expected to arrive at your address by Thursday, March 27th. You can track it in real-time using the tracking number KJ853720164US on our website or mobile app.
  </query>
  <critique>
  {
    "critique": "The response directly addresses the customer's question by providing the current status of the specific order number mentioned. It includes helpful details like the shipping date, expected delivery date, and tracking information the customer can use. This is a complete and informative response.",
    "outcome": "good"
  }
  </critique>
  </example-1>

  <example-2>
  <nlq>How do I return these broken headphones?</nlq>
  <query>
  I'm sorry to hear about your broken headphones. To return them, you'll need to go to your order history, select the order containing the headphones, and click "Return Item." Follow the on-screen instructions to print a return label. Pack the headphones in their original packaging if possible, attach the label, and drop it off at any postal service location.
  </query>
  <critique>
  {
    "critique": "While the response explains the general return process, it fails to verify if the customer's purchase is still within the return window or ask for the order number to confirm eligibility. Without this verification, the instructions might not apply to this specific situation, potentially causing customer frustration.",
    "outcome": "bad"
  }
  </critique>
  </example-2>

  <example-3>
  <nlq>Do you have the new iPhone 16 in stock?</nlq>
  <query>
  Yes, we currently have the iPhone 16 in stock in all colors. The 128GB, 256GB and 512GB storage options are available for immediate shipping. However, the 1TB version is currently on backorder with an expected 2-week waiting period. Would you like me to check availability at stores near your location?
  </query>
  <critique>
  {
    "critique": "The response clearly addresses the stock status of the iPhone 16 with detailed information about different storage options and their availability. The agent proactively offers to check local store inventory, which adds value beyond just answering the immediate question. The information is specific and actionable.",
    "outcome": "good"
  }
  </critique>
  </example-3>

  <example-4>
  <nlq>Can I cancel my subscription?</nlq>
  <query>
  You can cancel your subscription at any time. Simply log into your account, go to "Subscription Settings" and click the "Cancel Subscription" button. Your benefits will continue until the end of your current billing cycle.
  </query>
  <critique>
  {
    "critique": "The response provides clear instructions on how to cancel a subscription but doesn't acknowledge potential consequences like loss of data or saved preferences, nor does it offer alternatives like pausing or downgrading. It also doesn't express any interest in retaining the customer or understanding their reason for cancellation.",
    "outcome": "bad"
  }
  </critique>
  </example-4>
  ```
</Accordion>

When creating your examples:

* Include diverse scenarios covering different types of customer questions
* Show the reasoning process by explaining why an answer is good or bad
* Include both good and bad examples
* Match your actual use cases with examples that reflect your real customer interactions
* Be consistent with the format structure

After creating this partial, you'll receive another partial ID (e.g., `pl-exampl-55b6e3`) to reference in your main template.

#### Step 4: Create the Main Judge Prompt Template

Now that you have all the partials, it's time to create the main judge prompt template that brings everything together.
We will reference the partials we created earlier to provide context, guidelines, and examples to the judge using mustache variables.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

Here's what your main prompt template should look like:

<Accordion title="Main LLM as a Judge Prompt">
  ##### System

  ```
  You are a Customer Service query evaluator
  ```

  ##### User

  ```
  You are a Customer Service query evaluator with advanced capabilities to judge if a query is good or not.
  You understand the nuances of customer service including what is likely to be the most useful customer service executive.

  Here is information about the customer service in X company:
  {{customer_service_info}}

  Here are some guidelines for evaluating queries:
  {{guidelines}}

  Example evaluations:
  <examples>
   {{>pl-exampl-55b6e3}}
  </examples>

  For the following query, first write a detailed critique explaining your reasoning,
  then provide a pass/fail judgment in the same format as above.

  <nlq>{{user_input}}</nlq>
  <query>
  {{generated_query}}
  </query>
  <critique>
  ```
</Accordion>

<Note>
  Some LLMs don't support strcutured output generation. In those cases you should use LLMs function calling ability to generate JSON output.
</Note>

<Accordion title="Tool Calling Supported LLM">
  If your LLM does not support Structure Outputs, you will have to add this tool in your prompt template along with the prompt above.

  Choose `Tool Choice` = `Required` in your prompt template.

  ```
  {
    "type": "function",
    "function": {
      "name": "evaluation",
      "parameters": {
        "type": "object",
        "required": [
          "critique",
          "outcome"
        ],
        "properties": {
          "outcome": {
            "enum": [
              "good",
              "bad"
            ],
            "type": "string",
            "description": "The final judgment: 'good' or 'bad'"
          },
          "critique": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "A detailed critique of the agent's response"
          }
        }
      },
      "description": "this fuuction evaluates the user query and agent ouptut and give a detailed repsone"
    }
  }
  ```
</Accordion>

This template sets the evaluator role, inserts your company information, guidelines, and examples, and provides placeholders for the customer query and agent response. Make sure to select an appropriate model (like OpenAI o1, DeepSeek R1) when creating this template.

Once you've created the main template, you'll get a prompt ID that you'll use in your code to access this prompt.

#### Step 5: Implementing the Evaluation Code with Structured Output

Now that you have your prompt template set up in Portkey, use this Python code to evaluate customer support interactinos. You can use either of the following ways to go ahead with this cookbook, depending upon what your LLM supports:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Structured Output">
    ```python theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    # Initialize Portkey client
    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
        trace_id="customer-support-eval-run-1"  # For tracing in Portkey
    )
    def evaluate_interaction(customer_query, agent_response):
        """
        Evaluate a customer support interaction using LLM-as-a-Judge
        """
        # Use response_schema to ensure structured output
        response_schema = {
            "name": "evaluation",
            "schema": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "critique": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "A detailed critique of the agent's response"
                },
                "outcome": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "enum": ["good", "bad"],
                    "description": "The final judgment: 'good' or 'bad'"
                }
            },
            "required": ["critique", "outcome"]
            }
        }

        # Call Portkey's prompt API with response_schema
        response = portkey.prompts.completions.create(
            prompt_id="pp-llm-judge-62a41d",  # Replace with your actual prompt ID for LLM as a Judge
            variables={
                "user_input": customer_query,
                "generated_query": agent_response,
            },
            response_format={"type": "json_schema", "json_schema": response_schema, }
        )

        # Extract structured response and log feedback to Portkey
        result = response.choices[0].message.content


        import json

        # Parse the JSON string into a dictionary
        result_dict = json.loads(result)

        trace = response.get_headers()['trace-id']
        print(result_dict["outcome"])

        # Now you can access the dictionary with keys
        portkey.feedback.create(
            trace_id=trace,
            value=1 if result_dict["outcome"] == "good" else 0,  # Now this will work
        )


        return result

    # Example usage
    customer_query = "I've been waiting for my refund for over two weeks now. When will I receive it?"
    agent_response = "Refunds typically take 7-10 business days to process. Let me check the status of your refund and get back to you."

    evaluation = evaluate_interaction(customer_query, agent_response)
    print(evaluation)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Tool Calling Supported LLM">
    ```py theme={"system"}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    def evaluate_interaction(customer_query, agent_response):
        """

        """

        # Call Portkey's prompt API with response_schema
        response = portkey.prompts.completions.create(
            prompt_id="pp-llm-judge-62a41d",  # Replace with your actual prompt ID for LLM as a Judge
            variables={
                "user_input": customer_query,
                "generated_query": agent_response,

        result_dict = json.loads(result)

        trace = response.get_headers()['trace-id']
        print(result_dict["outcome"])

        # Now you can access the dictionary with keys
        portkey.feedback.create(
            trace_id=trace,

    agent_response = "Refunds typically take 7-10 business days to process. Let me check the status of your refund and get back to you."

    evaluation = evaluate_interaction(customer_query, agent_response)
    print(evaluation)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Accordion title="Example Output">
  Example output:

  ```json theme={"system"}
  {
    "critique": "The agent response provides general information about refund processing times (7-10 business days) but doesn't address why the customer's refund is taking over two weeks, which exceeds the standard timeline. While the agent offers to check the status, they don't acknowledge the customer's obvious frustration with the delay, missing an opportunity for empathy. There's also no clear explanation of when the agent will 'get back' with the information, leaving the timeline ambiguous.",
    "outcome": "bad"
  }
  ```
</Accordion>

#### Step 6: Iterate with Domain Experts

The most important part of building an effective LLM-as-a-Judge is iterating on your prompt with feedback from domain experts:

1. Create a small test dataset with 20-30 representative customer support interactions
2. Have human experts evaluate these interactions using the same criteria
3. Compare the LLM judge results with human expert evaluations
4. Calculate agreement rate and identify patterns in disagreements
5. Update your prompt based on what you learn

Focus especially on adding examples that cover edge cases where the judge disagreed with experts, clarifying evaluation criteria, and adjusting the weight given to different factors based on business priorities.

## Portkey Observability for Continuous Improvement

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

One of Portkey's key advantages is its built-in observability. Each evaluation generates detailed traces showing execution time and token usage, input and output logs for debugging, and performance metrics across evaluations.

This visibility helps you identify performance bottlenecks, track costs as you scale, debug problematic evaluations, and compare different judge prompt versions.

## Visualizing Evaluation Results on the Portkey Dashboard

The feedback data we collect using the `portkey.feedback.create()` method automatically appears in the Portkey dashboard, allowing you to:

1. Track evaluation outcomes over time
2. Identify specific areas where your agent consistently struggles
3. Measure improvement after making changes to your AI agent
4. Share results with stakeholders through customizable reports

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

The dashboard gives you a bird's-eye view of your evaluation metrics, making it easy to spot trends and areas for improvement.

## Running Evaluation on Scale

<Accordion title="Running evaluation on scale">
  ```python theme={"system"}
  import pandas as pd
  from tqdm import tqdm
  import time

  # Load your dataset of customer interactions
  df = pd.read_csv("customer_interactions.csv")

  # Run evaluations on the entire dataset
  results = []
  for idx, row in tqdm(df.iterrows(), total=len(df)):
      customer_query = row['customer_query']
      agent_response = row['agent_response']

      try:
          # Evaluate the interaction
          evaluation = evaluate_interaction(customer_query, agent_response)

          # Store the result with the original data
          results.append({
              "customer_query": customer_query,
              "agent_response": agent_response,
              "critique": evaluation["critique"],
              "outcome": evaluation["outcome"],
              "improvement_areas": evaluation.get("improvement_areas", [])
          })

          # Add a small delay to avoid rate limits
          time.sleep(0.5)
      except Exception as e:
          print(f"Error evaluating interaction {idx}: {e}")

  # Save the results
  results_df = pd.DataFrame(results)
  results_df.to_csv("evaluation_results.csv", index=False)

  # Calculate overall performance
  pass_rate = (results_df['outcome'] == 'good').mean() * 100
  print(f"Overall pass rate: {pass_rate:.2f}%")
  ```
</Accordion>

This code runs your evaluator on an entire dataset, collects the results, and calculates an overall pass rate.

## Next Steps

After implementing your LLM-as-a-Judge system, here are key ways to leverage it:

1. **Analyze quality trends**: Track pass rates over time to measure improvement
2. **Identify systematic issues**: Look for patterns in failing responses to address root causes
3. **Improve your support AI**: Use the detailed critiques to refine your support system

## Conclusion

An LLM-as-a-Judge system transforms how you approach customer support quality assurance. Rather than sampling a tiny fraction of interactions or relying on vague metrics, you can evaluate every interaction with consistency and depth. The detailed critiques provide actionable insights that drive continuous improvement in your customer support AI.

By implementing this approach with Portkey, you create a scalable quality assurance system that grows with your support operations while maintaining the high standards your customers expect.

Our system combines three specialized AI models:

1. **Orchestrator (Claude 3.7)**: Generates research queries, drafts emails, and refines based on feedback
2. **Researcher (Perplexity)**: Gathers real-time web information about prospects and companies
3. **Evaluator (OpenAI)**: Reviews email quality, providing scores and improvement suggestions

This architecture delivers superior results because:

* Each model handles tasks it excels at
* The system includes built-in quality control
* Cost efficiency through right-sized models and targeted research

## Creating the Prompt Templates

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Orchestrator Template">
    ### What You'll Create

    The Orchestrator template handles three different roles depending on which "mode" is activated:

    1. **Research Query Generator**: Creates targeted questions for the researcher
    2. **Email Drafter**: Uses research findings to write personalized outreach
    3. **Email Refiner**: Incorporates evaluator feedback to improve the email

    ### Variables You'll Need

    | Variable                     | Purpose                          | Example                                                  |
    | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
    | `our_offering`               | Your product/service description | "Umbrella Corp offers 'Uber for personal protection'..." |
    | `company_name`               | Prospect's company               | "YMU Talent Agency"                                      |
    | `company_industry`           | Industry sector                  | "Elite Talent Management"                                |
    | `target_person_name`         | Contact name                     | "John Wick"                                              |
    | `target_person_designation`  | Contact's role                   | "Event Organizer"                                        |
    | `requirement_gathering_mode` | Activates research query mode    | "TRUE" or "" (empty)                                     |
    | `research_mode`              | Activates email drafting mode    | "TRUE" or "" (empty)                                     |
    | `evaluator_mode`             | Activates email refinement mode  | "TRUE" or "" (empty)                                     |
    | `researcher_output`          | Data from the researcher         | (JSON response from research)                            |
    | `evaluator_output`           | Feedback from evaluator          | (JSON with score and comments)                           |

    ### Step-by-Step Setup

    1. **Create template** in [prompt.new](https://prompt.new/) with **Claude 3.7 Sonnet**

    <video />

    2. **Add core partials**:

    Let's create reusable components that define our SDR's core instructions and persona. These are added as **Prompt Partials** - reusable blocks that can be inserted in any template.

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Core Agent Instructions Partial">
        You are the ultimate sales representative from Umbrella Corporation. Your job is to:

        1. Understand the company and target person
        2. Write research queries to learn more about them
        3. Use research findings to write the ultimate opener email
        4. Send to evaluator for improvements
        5. Write final email based on feedback
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="SDR Persona Partial">
        Your name is Ilya:

        * You acutely understand the exact requirements your target person and their company has
        * You write short, to the point emails that feel like a friend sending a text to you
        * At the same time, you understand the importance of coming across as a thorough professional
        * You have yourself been on both ends - when you needed private security and when you yourself were a private security professional
      </Accordion>
    </AccordionGroup>

    We'll insert both partials into the template's system role like this:

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    3. **Add product offering**:

    Next, we'll add a section that will receive your company's offering details from a variable:

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    We'll send this variable's content at runtime.

    4. **Add Prospect Information Section**:

    Now let's add a section that will receive the prospect information variables:

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    We'll send these values at runtime as well.

    5. **Create Agent-Specific Sections with Conditional Logic**:

    This is where the magic happens! We'll add three "conditional sections" that only appear when a specific mode is activated:

    *A. Research Query Generation Mode:*
    Here, we'll explain how the research query should be generated.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    At this stage, we can send a request to the researcher get the research output back.

    *B. Email Drafting Mode (add this section next):*

    Once we have the research output, we can create the first email, and add the following to a new user role in the prompt template:

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    We'll take this email and send it to the evaluator, which will send back a JSON with two keys: "score" and "comment".

    *C. Email Refinement Mode (add this final section):*

    With the Evaluator's output, we'll now create the final email.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    <Tip>
      **The Power of Conditional Variables**

      This approach with `{{#variable_name}}` syntax lets you use a single template for three different purposes. When you set `requirement_gathering_mode` to "TRUE", only that section appears. When you set it to empty and instead set `research_mode` to "TRUE", the email drafting section appears instead. This keeps your templates DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).
    </Tip>

    ### Complete Template Overview

    When finished, your template should have:

    1. Core instruction and persona partials at the top
    2. Company offering section
    3. Prospect information section
    4. Three conditional sections for different modes

    This single template will now handle all three stages of the orchestrator's job, activated by different variables in your code.

  <Tab title="Researcher Template">
    ### What You'll Create

    The Researcher template powers the real-time web research capabilities of your AI SDR system.

    ### Variables

    | Inputt                         | Description      | Source/Destination         |
    | ------------------------------ | ---------------- | -------------------------- |
    | `requirement_gathering_output` | Research queries | Received from Orchestrator |

    ### Setup Steps

    1. Create a new prompt template with **Perplexity Sonar Pro** as the model

    2. Add researcher instructions:

    Add these system instructions that define the researcher's role:

    <Accordion title="Researcher instructions">
      You are a world-class researcher who, when given key info about a company, its industry, and the target person, helps your handler write the ultimate sales email by gathering the critical insights about them from the internet.

      In scenarios where you do not find much info about the company in question, you also try to extrapolate the key information about this company that helps with writing the ultimate opener email.
    </Accordion>

    Your completed template should look like this:

    <Frame>
      <img alt="Researcher template configuration" />
    </Frame>

    <Accordion title="Researcher output">
      YMU Group is a global talent management agency founded in 1984 and based in London\[1]. It offers full-service talent management, including representation for entertainers, athletes, musicians, and literary figures\[1]. The company works with high-profile clients like Simon Cowell, Graham Norton, Claudia Winkleman, Nicole Scherzinger, Stacey Solomon, and Ant and Dec\[7].

      In 2023, YMU reported a pre-tax loss of £32 million on revenue of £42.4 million\[7]. The company was sold in March 2024 for £60 million to Permira Credit\[7].

      YMU appears to focus on talent representation and career management rather than event organization. The search results don't mention John Wick or provide details about specific events, security practices, or budgets.

      For writing a sales email, you might focus on YMU's role as a major talent agency representing top celebrities. Their need for security services likely relates to protecting high-profile clients rather than large-scale event management. You could highlight how your security offerings could benefit their roster of celebrity talent in various professional and personal settings.

      Without more specific information, it's best to keep the email fairly general, focusing on your company's experience protecting high-profile individuals and how that aligns with YMU's client base. You might also mention your ability to provide flexible, on-demand security staffing to meet the changing needs of busy entertainment professionals.

  <Tab title="Evaluator Template">
    ### What You'll Create

    The Evaluator template provides quality control for your AI SDR system.

    ### Variables

    | Input          | Description                               | Source/Destination           |
    | -------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
    | `work_history` | Research queries + findings + email draft | Received from previous steps |

    ### Setup Steps

    1. Create a template with **OpenAI o3-mini** as the model

    2. Add evaluator instructions:

    Add these system instructions that define the evaluator's role:

    <Accordion title="Evaluator instructions">
      You are the critical part of an AI SDR agent that helps write opening sales email to a given prospect at a given company. Your key job is look at everything provided to you: The SDR's job to be done, the SDR's persona, the company and the target person in question, the research output, and send back a JSON with two keys: "score" and "comment".

      The actual JSON object will be: `{"score":<integer out of 10>, "comment":"<qualitative feedback about the email given to you>"}`

      Based on your feedback, the agent will rework the email and then send it to the prospect.
    </Accordion>

    Your completed template should look like this:

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>

    Evaluator is like an AI sales manager reviewing drafts before they go out - ensuring consistent quality at scale.

    <Accordion title="Evaluator output">
      ```json theme={"system"}
      {"score": 7, "comment": "The research summary does a good job of contextualizing YMU as a leading talent agency with high-profile clients, emphasizing the need for security services tailored to the protection of celebrities. It provides a solid foundation for a targeted email by suggesting a focus on flexible, on-demand security staffing. However, the information is somewhat generic, lacking specifics that could create a more compelling and personalized pitch. The email would benefit from slightly more emphasis on addressing potential security challenges or pain points unique to managing high-profile talent, even if inferred, to make the value proposition sharper."}

      Hi John,

      I noticed YMU's been expanding its roster of A-list talent lately – congrats on that growth. Having worked event security for talent agencies before, I know how challenging it can be coordinating reliable security teams, especially on short notice.

      We've built something I think you'll find interesting – an on-demand security platform that's already being used by several major talent agencies. Think of it like having an elite security team in your pocket, available within hours.

# Build an article suggestion app with Supabase pgvector, and Portkey
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/build-an-article-suggestion-app-with-supabase-pgvector-and-portkey

 Consider that you have list of support articles that you want to suggest it to users when users search for it. You want to suggest as best fit as possible. With the availability of tools like Large Language Model (LLMs) and Vector Databases, the approach towards suggestions & recommendation systems has significantly evolved.

In this article, we will go over and create a simple NodeJS application that stores the *support articles* (only titles, for simplicity) and perform vector similarity search thorough it’s embeddings and return the best article to the user.

A quick disclaimer:

This article is meant to give you a map that can help you get started and navigate the solutions against similar problem statements.

## What makes vector similarity special?

Short answer: Embeddings.

The technique to translate a piece of content into vector representation is called embeddings. They allow you to analyze the semantic content mathematically.

The LLMs are capable of turning our content into vector representation, and embed them into the vector space, where similarity is concluded based on the distance between two embeddings. These embeddings are to be stored on vector databases.

In this article, we will use Supabase and enable pgvector to store vectors.

## Overview of our app

Our app will utilize the Supabase vector database to maintain articles in the form of embeddings. Upon receiving a new query, the database will intelligently recommend the most relevant article.

This is how the process will work:

1. The application will read a text file containing a list of article titles.
2. It will then use OpenAI models through Portkey to convert the content into embeddings.
3. These embeddings will be stored in pgvector, along with a function that enables similarity matching.
4. When a user enters a new query, the application will return the most relevant article based on the similarity match database function.

## Setup

Get going by setting up 3 things for this tutorial — NodeJS project, Portkey and Supabase.

Portkey

1. [Sign up](https://portkey.ai/) and login into Portkey dashboard.
2. your OpenAI API key and add it to [Portkey Vault](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys).

This will give you a unique identifier, virtual key, that you can reference in the code. More on this later on.

Supabase

Head to Supabase to create a *New Project.* Give it a name of your choice. I will label it “*Product Wiki*”. This step will provide access keys, such as the *Project URL* and *API Key*. Save them.

The project is ready!

We want to store embeddings in your database. To enable the database to store embeddings, you must enable *Vector* extension from [*Dashboard > Database > Extensions*](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/extensions).

NodeJS

Navigate into any of your desired directories and run

```sh theme={"system"}
npm init -y
```

See the project files created with `package.json`. Since we want to store the list of articles to database, we have to read them for a file. Create `articles.txt` and copy the following:

```sh theme={"system"}
Update Your Operating System

Resetting Your Password

Maximizing Battery Life

Cleaning Your Keyboard

Protecting Against Malware

Backing Up Your Data

Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Issues

Optimizing Your Workspace

Understanding Cloud Storage

Managing App Permissions
```

Open the `index.js` and you are ready. Let’s start writing code.

## Step 1: Importing and authenticating Portkey and Supabase

Since our app is set to interact with OpenAI (via Portkey) and Supabase pgvector database, let’s import the necessary SDK clients to run operations on them.

```py theme={"system"}
import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js';

import fs from 'fs';

const USER_QUERY = 'How to update my laptop?';

const supabase = createClient('https://rbhjxxxxxxxxxkr.supabase.co', process.env['SUPABASE_PROJECT_API_KEY']);

const portkey = new Portkey({

  apiKey: process.env['PORTKEY_API_KEY'],

  virtualKey: process.env['OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY']

});
```

`fs` to help us read the list of articles from a `articles.txt` file and `USER_QUERY` is the query we will use to do similarity search.

## Step 2: Create a Table

We can use the SQL Editor to execute SQL queries. We will have one table for this project, and let’s call it `support_articles` table. It will store the *title* of the article along with it’s embeddings. Please feel free to add more fields of your choice, such as description or tags.

For simplicity, create a table with columns for `ID`, `content`, and `embedding`.

```sh theme={"system"}
create table

  support_articles (

    id bigint primary key generated always as identity,

    content text,

    embedding vector (1536)

  );
```

Execute the above SQL query in the SQL editor.

You can verify that the table has been created by navigating to Database > Tables > support\_articles. A success message will appear in the Results tab once the execution is successful.

## Step 3: Read, Generate and Store embeddings

We will use the `fs` library to read the `articles.txt` and convert every title on the list into embeddings. With Portkey, generating embeddings is straightforward and same as working with OpenAI SDK and no additional code changes required.

```py theme={"system"}
const response = await portkey.embeddings.create({

  input: String(text),

  model: 'text-embedding-ada-002'

});

return Array.from(response.data[0].embedding);
```

Similarly to store embeddings to Supabase:

```py theme={"system"}
await supabase.from('support_articles').insert({

  content,

  embedding

});
```

To put everything together — reading from the file, generating embeddings, and storing them supabase.

```py theme={"system"}
async function convertToEmbeddings(text) {

  const response = await portkey.embeddings.create({

    input: String(text),

    model: 'text-embedding-ada-002'

  });

  return Array.from(response.data[0].embedding);

}

async function readTitlesFromFile() {

  const titlesPath = './articles.txt';

  const titles = fs

    .readFileSync(titlesPath, 'utf8')

    .split('\n')

    .map((title) => title.trim());

  return titles;

}

async function storeSupportArticles() {

  const titles = await readTitlesFromFile();

  titles.forEach(async function (title) {

    const content = title;

    const embedding = await convertToEmbeddings(content);

    await supabase.from('support_articles').insert({

      content,

      embedding

    });

  });

}
```

That’s it! — All you need to write one line to store all the items to the pgvector database.

`await storeSupportArticles();`

You should now see the rows created from the Table Editor.

## Step 4: Create a database function to query similar match

Next, let’s set up a [database function](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/functions) to do vector similarity search using Supabase. This database function will take *an user query vector* as argument and return us an object with the `id`, `content` and the `similarity` score against the best row and user query in the database.

```py theme={"system"}
create or replace function match_documents (

  query_embedding vector(1536),

  match_threshold float,

  match_count int

)

returns table (

  id bigint,

  content text,

  similarity float

)

language sql stable

as $$

  select

    support_articles.id, -- documents here is the table name

    support_articles.content,

    1 - (support_articles.embedding <=> query_embedding) as similarity -- <=> is cosine similarity search

  from support_articles

  where 1 - (support_articles.embedding <=> query_embedding) > match_threshold

  order by (support_articles.embedding <=> query_embedding) asc

  limit match_count;

$$;
```

Execute it in the SQL Editor similar to the table creation.

Congratulations, now our `support_articles` is now powered to return vector similarity search operations.

No more waiting! Let’s run an search query.

## Step 5: Query for the similarity match

The supabase client can make an remote procedure calls to invoke our vector similarity search function to find the nearest match to the user query.

```py theme={"system"}
async function findNearestMatch(queryEmbedding) {

  const { data } = await supabase.rpc('match_documents', {

    query_embedding: queryEmbedding,

    match_threshold: 0.5,

    match_count: 1

  });

  return data;

}
```

The arguments will match the parameters we declared while creating the database function (in Step 4).

```sh theme={"system"}
const USER_QUERY = 'How to update my laptop?';

// Invoke the following Fn to store embeddings to Supabase

// await storeSupportArticles();

const queryEmbedding = await convertToEmbeddings(USER_QUERY);

let best_match = await findNearestMatch(queryEmbedding);

console.info('The best match is: ', best_match);
```

The console log

```sh theme={"system"}
The best match is:  [

  {

    id: 12,

    content: 'Update Your Operating System',

    similarity: 0.874387819265234

  }

]
```

## Afterthoughts

A single query with the best match for the user query mentioned above took 6 tokens and costed approximately \$0.0001 cents. During the development of this app, I used up 2.4k tokens with a mean latency of 383ms.

You might be wondering how I know all of this? Well, it's all thanks to the Portkey Dashboard.

This information is incredibly valuable, especially when used in real-time production. I encourage you to consider implementing search use cases in your ongoing projects such as recommendations, suggestions, and similar items.

Congratulations on making it this far! You now know how to work with embeddings in development and monitor your app in production.

[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1mBr22Ov8xN6Piy6M38Tr5wOYjpmT%5FIoH#scrollTo=pNpHQn6FlCL1)

The [LMSYS Chatbot Arena](https://chat.lmsys.org/?leaderboard), with over **1,000,000** human comparisons, is the gold standard for evaluating LLM performance.

But, testing multiple LLMs is a ***pain***, requiring you to juggle APIs that all work differently, with different authentication and dependencies.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

**Enter Portkey:** A unified, open source API for accessing over 200 LLMs. Portkey makes it a breeze to call the models on the LMSYS leaderboard - no setup required.

***

In this notebook, you'll see how Portkey streamlines LLM evaluation for the **Top 10 LMSYS Models**, giving you valuable insights into cost, performance, and accuracy metrics.

Let's dive in!

***

#### Video Guide

The notebook comes with a video guide that you can follow along

<iframe title="YouTube video player" />

#### Setting up Portkey

To get started, install the necessary packages:

```sh theme={"system"}
!pip install -qU portkey-ai openai
```

Next, sign up for a Portkey API key at [https://app.portkey.ai/](https://app.portkey.ai/). Navigate to "Settings" -> "API Keys" and create an API key with the appropriate scope.

#### Defining the Top 10 LMSYS Models

Let's define the list of Top 10 LMSYS models and their corresponding providers.

```JS theme={"system"}
top_10_models = [

    ["gpt-4o-2024-05-13", "openai"],

    ["gemini-1.5-pro-latest", "google"],

##  ["gemini-advanced-0514","google"],             # This model is not available on a public API

    ["gpt-4-turbo-2024-04-09", "openai"],

    ["gpt-4-1106-preview","openai"],

    ["claude-3-opus-20240229", "anthropic"],

    ["gpt-4-0125-preview","openai"],

##  ["yi-large-preview","01-ai"],                  # This model is not available on a public API

    ["gemini-1.5-flash-latest", "google"],

    ["gemini-1.0-pro", "google"],

    ["meta-llama/Llama-3-70b-chat-hf", "together"],

    ["claude-3-sonnet-20240229", "anthropic"],

##  ["qwen-max-0428","qwen"]                       # This model is not available outside of China

]
```

#### Add Provider API Keys to Portkey Vault

ALL the providers above are integrated with Portkey - which means, you can add their API keys to Portkey vault and get a corresponding **Virtual Key** and streamline API key management.

| Provider    | Link to get API Key                                              | Payment Mode                             |

```JSON theme={"system"}
## Replace the virtual keys below with your own

virtual_keys = {

    "openai": "openai-new-c99d32",

    "anthropic": "anthropic-key-a0b3d7",

    "google": "google-66c0ed",

    "cohere": "cohere-ab97e4",

    "together": "together-ai-dada4c",

    "reka-ai":"reka-54f5b5",

    "zhipu":"chatglm-ba1096"

}
```

#### Running the Models with Portkey

Now, let's create a function to run the Top 10 LMSYS models using OpenAI SDK with Portkey Gateway:

```js theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI

from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

def run_top10_lmsys_models(prompt):

    outputs = {}

    for model, provider in top_10_models:

        portkey = OpenAI(

            api_key = "dummy_key",

            base_url = PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

            default_headers = createHeaders(

                api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",                 # Grab from https://app.portkey.ai/

                virtual_key = virtual_keys[provider],

                trace_id="COMPARING_LMSYS_MODELS"

            )

        )

        response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

            messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],

            model=model,

            max_tokens=256

        )

        outputs[model] = response.choices[0].message.content

    return outputs
```

#### Comparing Model Outputs

To display the model outputs in a tabular format for easy comparison, we define the print\_model\_outputs function:

```js theme={"system"}
from tabulate import tabulate

def print_model_outputs(prompt):

    outputs = run_top10_lmsys_models(prompt)

    table_data = []

    for model, output in outputs.items():

        table_data.append([model, output.strip()])

    headers = ["Model", "Output"]

    table = tabulate(table_data, headers, tablefmt="grid")

    print(table)

    print()
```

#### Example: Evaluating LLMs for a Specific Task

Let's run the notebook with a specific prompt to showcase the differences in responses from various LLMs:

On Portkey, you will be able to see the logs for all models:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

```js theme={"system"}
prompt = "If 20 shirts take 5 hours to dry, how much time will 100 shirts take to dry?"

print_model_outputs(prompt)
```

#### Conclusion

With minimal setup and code modifications, Portkey enables you to streamline your LLM evaluation process and easily call 1600+ LLMs to find the best model for your specific use case.

Explore Portkey further and integrate it into your own projects. Visit the Portkey documentation at [https://docs.portkey.ai/](https://docs.portkey.ai/) for more information on how to leverage Portkey's capabilities in your workflow.


# Comparing DeepSeek Models Against OpenAI, Anthropic & More Using Portkey
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/deepseek-r1



DeepSeek R1 has emerged as a groundbreaking open-source AI model, challenging proprietary solutions with its MIT-licensed availability and state-of-the-art performance.

It has outperformed the top models by each provider in almost all the major benchmarks. But this is not the first time a new model has broken records. The most interesting part about this model is this model has Open Sourced its code and training weights with a fraction of costs of any other model.

While its Chinese origins initially raised data sovereignty concerns, major cloud providers have rapidly integrated DeepSeek R1, making it globally accessible through compliant channels.

In this guide, we will explore:

* How to access DeepSeek R1 through different providers
* Real-world performance comparisons with top models from each provider
* Implementation patterns for various use cases

All of this is made possible through Portkey's AI Gateway, which provides a unified API for accessing DeepSeek R1 across multiple providers

## Accessing DeepSeek R1 Through Multiple Providers

DeepSeek R1 is available across several major cloud providers, and with Portkey's unified API, the implementation remains consistent regardless of your chosen provider. All you need is the appropriate virtual key for your desired provider.

### Basic Implementation

```python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

# Initialize Portkey client
client = Portkey(
    api_key="your-portkey-api-key",
    provider="@provider-virtual-key"  # Just change this to switch providers
)

# Make completion call - same code for all providers
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}
    ]
)
```

### Available Providers and Models

#### Together AI

* `DeepSeek-R1`
* `DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B`
* `DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 1.5B`
* `DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 14B`
* `DeepSeek-V3`

#### Groq

* `DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B`

#### Cerebras

* `DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B`

#### Fireworks

* `DeepSeek R1 671B`

#### Azure OpenAI

* `DeepSeek R1 671B`

#### AWS Bedrock

* `DeepSeek R1 671B`

### Accessing DeepSeek Models Across Providers

Portkeu provides a unified API for accessing DeepSeek models across multiple providers. All you need to do start using DeepSeek models is to

1. Get Your API Key from one of the providers mentioned above
2. Get your Portkey API key from [Portkey's Dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai)
3. Create virtual keys in [Portkey's Dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys). Virtual Keys are an alias over your provider API Keys. You can set budgets limits and rate limits for each virtual key.

Here's how you can use Portkey's unified API

```python theme={"system"}
!pip install porteky-ai
```

```python theme={"system"}
client = Portkey(
    api_key="your-portkey-api-key",
    provider="@your-virtual-key--for-chosen-provider"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="your_chosen_model", # e.g. "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1" for together-ai
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}
    ]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

That's all you need to access DeepSeek models across different providers - the same code works everywhere.

## Comparing DeepSeek R1 Against Leading Models

We've created a comprehensive cookbook comparing DeepSeek R1 with OpenAI's o1, o3-mini, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. This cookbook compares deepseek R1 model from `together-ai` with top models form OpenAI and Anthropic. We will be comparing the models on three different types of prompts:

1. Simple Reasoning

```python theme={"system"}
prompt = "How many times does the letter 'r' appear in the word 'strrawberrry'?"
```

2. Numerical Comparison

```python theme={"system"}
prompt2 = """Which number is bigger: 9.111 or 9.9?"""
```

3. Complex Problem Solving

```python theme={"system"}
prompt3 = """In a village of 100 people, each person knows a unique secret. They can only share information one-on-one, and only one exchange can happen per day. What is the minimum number of days needed for everyone to know all secrets? Explain your reasoning step by step."""
```

4. Coding

```python theme={"system"}
prompt4 = """Given an integer N, print N rows of inverted right half pyramid pattern. In inverted right half pattern of N rows, the first row has N number of stars, second row has (N - 1) number of stars and so on till the Nth row which has only 1 star."""
```

Here's the link to the cookbook to follow along as well as results of the comparison.

# Enforcing JSON Schema with Anyscale & Together
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/enforcing-json-schema-with-anyscale-and-together

Get the LLM to adhere to your JSON schema using Anyscale & Together AI's newly introduced JSON modes

LLMs excel at generating creative text, but production applications demand structured outputs for seamless integration. Instructing LLMs to only generate the output in a specified syntax can help make their behaviour a bit more predictable. JSON is the format of choice here - it is versatile enough and is widely used as a standard data exchange format.

Several LLM providers offer features that help enforce JSON outputs:

* OpenAI has a feature called [JSON mode](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-generation/json-mode) that ensures that the output is a valid JSON object.
* While this is great, it doesn't guarantee adherence to your custom JSON schemas, but only that the output IS a JSON.
* Anyscale and Together AI go further - they not only enforce that the output is in JSON but also ensure that the output follows any given JSON schema.

Using Portkey, you can easily experiment with models from Anyscale & Together AI and explore the power of their JSON modes:

        provider="@ANYSCALE_VIRTUAL_KEY" # OR #TOGETHER_VIRTUAL_KEY
    )

    class Recipe(BaseModel):

### Output JSON:

```JSON theme={"system"}

{
  "title": "Fried Rice with Chicken and Vegetables",
  "description": "A delicious recipe for fried rice that includes chicken and a mix of colorful vegetables. Perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal. yum yum yum yum yum",
  "steps": [
    "1. Cook rice and set aside",
    "2. In a large skillet or wok, sauté sliced chicken in oil until browned",
    "3. ..."
  ]
}
```

As you can see - it's pretty simple. Just define the JSON schema, and pass it at the time of making your request using the `response_format` param. The `response_format`'s `type` is `json_object` and the `schema` contains all keys and their expected type.

### Creating Nested JSON Object Schema

Here's an example showing how you can also create nested JSON schema and get the LLM to enforce it:

```py theme={"system"}
class Ingredient(BaseModel):

    name: str

    quantity: str

class Recipe(BaseModel):

    title: str

    description: str

    ingredients: List[Ingredient]

    steps: List[str]


json_response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

    messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Give me a recipe for making Ramen, in JSON format' }],

    model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1",

    response_format={

        "type": "json_object",

        "schema": Recipe.schema_json()

    }

)
```

Add your Anyscale or Together AI virtual keys to Portkey vault, and get started!


# Fallback from SDXL to Dall-e-3
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/fallback-from-sdxl-to-dall-e-3

Generative AI models have revolutionized text generation and opened up new possibilities for developers.

What next? A new category of image generation models.

[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/github/Portkey-AI/portkey-cookbook/blob/main/ai-gateway/set-up-fallback-from-stable-diffusion-to-dall-e.ipynb)

## Set up Fallback from Stable Diffusion to Dall-E

This cookbook introduces Portkey’s multimodal AI gateway, which helps you switch between multiple image generation models without any code changes — all with OpenAI SDK. You will learn to set up fallbacks from Stable Diffusion to Dall-E.

### 1. Integrate Image Gen Models with Portkey

Begin by storing API keys in the Portkey Vault.

To save your OpenAI and StabilityAI keys in the Portkey Vault:

1. Go to **portkey.ai**
2. Click **Virtual Keys** and then **Create**
   1. Enter **Name** and **API Key**,
   2. Hit **Create**
3. the virtual key from the **KEY** column

We successfully have set up virtual keys!

For more information, refer the [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys).

The multi-modal AI gateway will use these virtual keys in the future to apply a fallback mechanism to every request from your app.

### 2. Making a call to Stability AI using OpenAI SDK

With Portkey, you can call Stability AI models like SDXL right from inside the OpenAI SDK. Just change the `base_url` to Portkey Gateway and add `defaultHeaders` while instantiating your OpenAI client, and you're good to go

Import the `openai` and `portkey_ai` libraries to send the requests, whereas the rest of the utility libraries will help decode the base64 response and print them onto Jupyter Notebook.

```js theme={"system"}
from IPython.display import display

from PIL import Image

from openai import OpenAI

from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders

import requests, io, base64, json
```

```js theme={"system"}
PORTKEY_API_KEY="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY_HERE"

OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY="YOUR_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY_HERE"

CONFIG_ID="YOUR_CONFIG_ID_HERE"

OPENAI_API_KEY="REDUNDANT"
```

Declare the arguments to pass to the parameters of OpenAI SDK and initialize a client instance.

```js theme={"system"}
STABILITYAI_VIRTUAL_KEY="YOUR_STABILITYAI_VIRTUAL_KEY_HERE"

client = OpenAI(

    api_key="REDUNDANT",

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        provider="stabilityai",

        api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY,

        virtual_key=STABILITYAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,

    )

)
```

The `api_key` parameter is passed a random string since it’s redundant as the request will be handled through Portkey.

To generate an image:

```js theme={"system"}
image = client.images.generate(

  model="stable-diffusion-v1-6",

  prompt="Kraken in the milkyway galaxy",

  n=1,

  size="1024x1024",

  response_format="b64_json"

)

base64_image = image.data[0].b64_json

image_data = base64.b64decode(base64_image)

image = Image.open(io.BytesIO(image_data))

display(image)
```

The image you receive in the response is encoded in base64 format, which requires you to decode it before you can view it in the Jupyter Notebook. In addition, Portkey offers logging for observability. To find all the information for every request, simply check the requests on the **Dashboard > Logs**.

### 3. Now, Setup a Fallback from SDXL to Dall-E

Let’s learn how to enhance the reliability of your Stability AI requests by configuring automatic fallbacks to Dall-E in case of failures. You can use Gateway Configs on Portkey to implement this automated fallback logic. These configurations can be passed while creating your OpenAI client.

From the Portkey Dashboard, open **Configs** and then click **Create**. In the config editor, write the JSON for Gateway Configs:

```js theme={"system"}
{

  "strategy": {

    "mode": "fallback"

  },

  "targets": [

    {

      "virtual_key": "stability-ai-virtualkey",

      "override_params": {

        "model": "stable-diffusion-v1-6"

      }

    },

    {

      "virtual_key": "open-ai-virtual-key",

      "override_params": {

        "model": "dall-e-3"

      }

    }

  ]

}
```

These configs tell the AI gateway to follow an `fallback` strategy, where the primary target to forward requests to is *Stability AI* (automatically inferred from the virtual key) and then to *OpenAI*. The `override_params` let’s you override the default models for the provider. Finally, surprise surprise! — we also enabled caching with just one more key-value pair.

Learn about [Gateway Configs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/configs) and [Caching](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/cache-simple-and-semantic) from the docs.

Hit **Save Config** on the top right corner and grab the \*\*Config ID. \*\*Next up, we are going to use the \_Config ID \_in our requests to activate fallback mechanism.

### 4. Make a request with gateway configs

Finally, the requests will be sent like we did with OpenAI SDK earlier, but with one specific difference - the `config` parameter. The request is sent through Portkey and uses saved gateway configs as references to activate the fallback mechanism.

```js theme={"system"}
client = OpenAI(

    api_key=OPENAI_API_KEY,

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

    default_headers=createHeaders(

        api_key=PORTKEY_API_KEY,

        config=CONFIG_ID

    )

)

image = client.images.generate(

  model="stable-diffusion-v1-6",

  prompt="Harry Potter travelling the world using Portkey",

  n=1,

  size="1024x1024",

  response_format="b64_json"

)

base64_image = image.data[0].b64_json

image_data = base64.b64decode(base64_image)

image = Image.open(io.BytesIO(image_data))

display(image)
```

### Afterthoughts

All the requests that go through Portkey will appear in the Logs page within the Portkey Dashboard. You can apply filters or even trace the specific set of requests. Check out [Request Tracing](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/traces). Simultaneously, a fallback icon is turned on for the log where the fallback is activated.

Portkey supports multiple providers offering multimodal capabilities, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Stability AI, all accessible through a unified API interface following OpenAI Signature.

# Few-Shot Prompting
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/few-shot-prompting

LLMs are highly capable of following a given structure. By providing a few examples of how the assistant should respond to a given prompt, the LLM can generate responses that closely follow the format of these examples.

Portkey enhances this capability with the ***raw prompt*** feature of prompt templates. You can easily add few-shot learning examples to your templates with *raw prompt* and dynamically update them whenever you want, without needing to modify the prompt templates!

## How does it work?

Let's consider a use case where, given a candidate profile and a job description, the LLM is expected to output candidate notes in a specific JSON format.

### This is how our raw prompt looks:

```JSON theme={"system"}
[
    {
        "role": "system",
        "message": "You output candidate notes in JSON format when given a candidate profile and a job description.",
    },

    {{few_shot_examples}},

    {
        "role": "user",
        "message": "Candidate Profile: {{profile}} \n Job Description: {{jd}}"
    },
]
```

### Let's define our variables:

As you can see, we have added variables `few_shot_examples`, `profile`, and `jd` in the above examples.

```
profile = "An experienced data scientist with a PhD in Computer Science and 5 years of experience working with machine learning models in the healthcare industry."

jd = "We are seeking a seasoned data scientist with a strong background in machine learning, ideally with experience in the healthcare sector. The ideal candidate should have a PhD or Master's degree in a relevant field and a minimum of 5 years of industry experience."
```

### And now let's add some examples with the expected JSON structure:

```JSON theme={"system"}
few_shot_examples =

[

 {

  "role": "user",

  "content": "Candidate Profile: Experienced software engineer with a background in developing scalable web applications using Python. Job Description: We’re looking for a Python developer to help us build and scale our web platform.",

 },

 {

  "role": "assistant",

  "content": "{'one-line-intro': 'Experienced Python developer with a track record of building scalable web applications.', 'move-forward': 'Yes', 'priority': 'P1', 'pros': '1. Relevant experience in Python. 2. Has built and scaled web applications. 3. Likely to fit well with the job requirements.', 'cons': 'None apparent from the provided profile.'}",

 },

 {

  "role": "user",

  "content": "Candidate Profile: Recent graduate with a degree in computer science and a focus on data analysis. Job Description: Seeking a seasoned data scientist to analyze large data sets and derive insights."

 },

 {

  "role": "assistant",

  "content": "{'one-line-intro': 'Recent computer science graduate with a focus on data analysis.', 'move-forward': 'Maybe', 'priority': 'P2', 'pros': '1. Has a strong educational background in computer science. 2. Specialized focus on data analysis.', 'cons': '1. Lack of professional experience. 2. Job requires a seasoned data scientist.' }"

  }

]
```

In this configuration, `{{few_shot_examples}}` is a placeholder for the few-shot learning examples, which are dynamically provided and can be updated as needed. This allows the LLM to adapt its responses to the provided examples, facilitating versatile and context-aware outputs.

## Putting it all together in Portkey's prompt manager:

1. Go to the "Prompts" page on [https://app.portkey.ai/](https://app.portkey.ai/organisation/4e501cb0-512d-4dd3-b480-8b6af7ef4993/9eec4ebc-1c88-41a2-ae5d-ed0610d33b06/collection/17b7d29e-4318-4b4b-a45b-1d5a70ed1e8f) and **Create** a new Prompt template with your preferred AI provider.
2. Selecting Chat mode will enable the Raw Prompt feature:

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

1. Click on it and paste the [raw prompt code from above](/guides/use-cases/few-shot-prompting#this-is-how-our-raw-prompt-would-look). And that's it! You have your **dynamically updatable** few shot prompt template ready to deploy.

## Deploying the Prompt with Portkey

Deploying your prompt template to an API is extremely easy with Portkey. You can use our [Prompt Completions API](/portkey-endpoints/prompts/prompt-completion) to use the prompt we created.

# How to use OpenAI SDK with Portkey Prompt Templates
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/how-to-use-openai-sdk-with-portkey-prompt-templates

Portkeys Prompt Playground allows you to test and tinker with various hyperparameters without any external dependencies and deploy them to production seamlessly. Moreover, all team members can use the same prompt template, ensuring that everyone works from the same source of truth.

Right within OpenAI SDK along with Portkey APIs, you can use prompt templates to achieve this.

## 1. Creating a Prompt Template

Portkey's prompt playground enables you to experiment with various LLM providers. It acts as a definitive source of truth for your team, and it versions each snapshot of model parameters, allowing for easy rollback. We want to create a chat completion prompt with `gpt4` that tells a story about any user-desired topic.

To do this:

1. Go to **[www.portkey.ai](http://www.portkey.ai)**
2. Opens a Dashboard
   1. Click on **Prompts** and then the **Create** button.
3. You are now on Prompt Playground.

Spend some time playing around with different prompt inputs and changing the hyperparameters. The following settings seemed most suitable and generated a story that met expectations.

The list of parameters in my prompt template:

| System            | You are a very good storyteller who covers various topics for the kids. You narrate them in very intriguing and interesting ways. You tell the story in less than 3 paragraphs. |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| User              | Tell me a story about                                                                                                                                                           |
| Max Tokens        | 512                                                                                                                                                                             |
| Temperature       | 0.9                                                                                                                                                                             |
| Frequency Penalty | -0.2                                                                                                                                                                            |

When you look closely at the description for the User role, you find `{{topic}}`. Portkey treats them as dynamic variables, so a string can be passed to this prompt at runtime. This prompt is much more useful since it generates stories on any topic.

Once you are happy with the Prompt Template, hit **Save Prompt**. The Prompts page displays saved prompt templates and their corresponding prompt ID, serving as a reference point in our code.

Next up, let’s see how to use the created prompt template to generate chat completions through OpenAI SDK.

## 2. Retrieving the prompt template

Fire up your code editor and import the request client, `axios`. This will allow you to POST to the Portkey's render endpoint and retrieve prompt details that can be used with OpenAI SDK.

We will use `axios` to make a `POST` call to `/prompts/${PROMPT_ID}/render` endpoint along with headers (includes [Portkey API Key](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/authentication#obtaining-your-api-key)) and body that includes the prompt variables required in the prompt template.

For more information about Render API, refer to the [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/prompts/render).

```js theme={"system"}
import axios from 'axios';

const PROMPT_ID = '';

const PORTKEYAI_API_KEY = '';

const url = `https://api.portkey.ai/v1/prompts/${PROMPT_ID}/render`;

const headers = {

  'Content-Type': 'application/json',

  'x-portkey-api-key': PORTKEYAI_API_KEY

};

const data = {

  variables: { topic: 'Tom and Jerry' }

};

let {

  data: { data: promptDetail }

} = await axios.post(url, data, { headers });

console.log(promptDetail);
```

We get prompt details as a JS object logged to the console:

```js theme={"system"}
{

  model: 'gpt-4',

  n: 1,

  top_p: 1,

  max_tokens: 512,

  temperature: 0.9,

  presence_penalty: 0,

  frequency_penalty: -0.2,

  messages: [

    {

      role: 'system',

      content: 'You are a very good storyteller who covers various topics for the kids. You narrate them in very intriguing and interesting ways.  You tell the story in less than 3 paragraphs.'

    },

    { role: 'user', content: 'Tell me a story about Tom and Jerry' }

  ]

}
```

## 3. Sending requests through OpenAI SDK

This section will teach you to use the prompt details JS object we retrieved earlier and pass it as an argument to the instance of the OpenAI SDK when making the chat completions call.

Let’s import the necessary libraries and create a client instance from the OpenAI SDK.

```js theme={"system"}
import OpenAI from 'openai';

import { createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from 'portkey-ai';

const client = new OpenAI({

  apiKey: 'USES_VIRTUAL_KEY',

  baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,

  defaultHeaders: createHeaders({

    provider: 'openai',

    apiKey: `${PORTKEYAI_API_KEY}`,

    virtualKey: `${OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY}`

  })

});
```

We are importing `portkey-ai` to use its utilities to change the base URL and the default headers. If you are wondering what virtual keys are, refer to [Portkey Vault documentation](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys).

The prompt details we retrieved are passed as an argument to the chat completions creation method.

```js theme={"system"}
let TomAndJerryStory = await generateStory('Tom and Jerry');

console.log(TomAndJerryStory);

async function generateStory(topic) {

  const data = {

    variables: { topic: String(topic) }

  };

  let {

    data: { data: promptDetail }

  } = await axios.post(url, data, { headers });

  const chatCompletion = await client.chat.completions.create(promptDetail);

  return chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content;

}
```

This time, run your code and see the story we set out to generate logged to the console!

```
In the heart of a bustling city, lived an eccentric cat named Tom and a witty little mouse named Jerry. Tom, always trying to catch Jerry, maneuvered himself th...(truncated)
```

## Bonus: Using Portkey SDK

The official Portkey Client SDK has a prompts completions method that is similar to chat completions’ OpenAI signature. You can invoke a prompt template just by passing arguments to `promptID` and `variables` parameters.

```py theme={"system"}
const promptCompletion = await portkey.prompts.completions.create({

  promptID: 'Your Prompt ID',

  variables: {

    topic: 'Tom and Jerry'

  }

});
```

## Conclusion

We’ve now finished writing a some NodeJS program that retrieves the prompt details from the Prompt Playground using prompt ID. Then successfully made a chat completion call using OpenAI SDK to generate a story with the desired topic.

We can use this approach to focus on improving prompt quality with all the LLMs supported, simply reference them at the code runtime.

### Step 2: Create an Exa Guardrail

Next, create a guardrail that will add web search to your requests:

1. Go to the `Guardrails` page in Portkey
2. Click `Create New Guardrail`
3. Search for **"Exa Online Search"** and click `Add`
4. Configure the following parameters:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "context_prefix": "<web_search_context>",
  "context_suffix": "</web_search_context>",
  "num_results": 3,
  "timeout": 10000
}
```

<Info>
  **Recommended Settings:**

  * **Number of Results**: 3-5 (balances information vs token usage)
  * **Timeout**: 10000ms (10 seconds)
  * **Include/Exclude Domains**: Leave empty for general use, or specify trusted sources
</Info>

5. Set the action to `passthrough` (default)
6. Save the guardrail and copy the **Guardrail ID**

### Step 3: Create a Config with Web Search

Now create a Portkey config that includes your Exa guardrail:

1. Navigate to `Configs` in the Portkey dashboard
2. Click `Create New Config`
3. Add your configuration:

<CodeGroup>
  ```json Using Virtual Key theme={"system"}
  {
    "virtual_key": "YOUR_PROVIDER_VIRTUAL_KEY",
    "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
    "override_params": {
      "model": "gpt-4o"  // or any model you prefer
    }
  }
  ```

  ```json Using Provider API Key theme={"system"}
  {
    "provider": "openai",
    "api_key": "YOUR_PROVIDER_API_KEY",
    "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
    "override_params": {
      "model": "gpt-4o"
    }
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

4. Save the config and note the **Config ID** (e.g., `pc-websearch-xxx`)

### Step 4: Update Your LibreChat Configuration

Finally, update your LibreChat setup to use the web-search enabled config:

1. Edit your `librechat.yaml` file:

```yaml librechat.yaml theme={"system"}
version: 1.1.4
cache: true
endpoints:
  custom:
    - name: "Portkey with Web Search"
      apiKey: "dummy"
      baseURL: ${PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL}
      headers:
        x-portkey-api-key: "${PORTKEY_API_KEY}"
        x-portkey-config: "pc-websearch-xxx"  # Your config ID from Step 3
      models:
        default: ["gpt-4o", "claude-3-sonnet", "llama-3.1-70b"]
        fetch: true
      titleConvo: true
      titleModel: "current_model"
      summarize: false
      summaryModel: "current_model"
      forcePrompt: false
      modelDisplayLabel: "Portkey:WebSearch"
```

2. Restart your LibreChat instance

### Step 5: Test Your Setup

1. Open LibreChat in your browser
2. Select **"Portkey with Web Search"** as your endpoint
3. Try asking questions that require current information:

```
"What happened in the tech industry today?"
"What's the current price of Bitcoin?"
"Who won the latest sports championship?"
"What are the latest AI model releases?"
```

You should see responses with up-to-date information pulled from the web!

## Advanced Configuration

### Domain Filtering

For specialized use cases, you can limit search results to specific domains:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "virtual_key": "YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY",
  "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
  "override_params": {
    "model": "gpt-4o"
  }
}
```

In your Exa guardrail settings:

* **Include Domains**: `["arxiv.org", "nature.com", "pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov"]` (for academic research)
* **Exclude Domains**: `["reddit.com", "twitter.com"]` (to avoid social media)

### Multiple Configurations

Create different configs for different use cases:

```yaml librechat.yaml theme={"system"}
endpoints:
  custom:
    - name: "AI Research Assistant"
      apiKey: "dummy"
      baseURL: ${PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL}
      headers:
        x-portkey-api-key: "${PORTKEY_API_KEY}"
        x-portkey-config: "pc-research-xxx"  # Config with academic domains
      models:
        default: ["gpt-4o"]
      modelDisplayLabel: "Research:WebSearch"

    - name: "News & Current Events"
      apiKey: "dummy"
      baseURL: ${PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL}
      headers:
        x-portkey-api-key: "${PORTKEY_API_KEY}"
        x-portkey-config: "pc-news-xxx"  # Config with news domains
      models:
        default: ["claude-3-sonnet"]
      modelDisplayLabel: "News:WebSearch"
```

### Combining with Other Portkey Features

Enhance your web-search enabled config with additional Portkey features:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "virtual_key": "YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY",
  "input_guardrails": ["your_exa_guardrail_id"],
  "output_guardrails": ["content_safety_guardrail_id"],
  "cache": {
    "mode": "semantic",
    "max_age": 3600
  },
  "retry": {
    "attempts": 3
  },
  "override_params": {
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "temperature": 0.7
  }
}
```

## Monitoring Web Search Usage

Track your web-search enhanced conversations in the Portkey dashboard:

1. Navigate to **Logs** in Portkey
2. Filter by config ID to see web-search requests
3. Click on individual logs to see:
   * The original user query
   * Web search results added as context
   * Token usage (including search context)
   * Response time and costs

# Portkey with OpenAI Computer Use
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/openai-computer-use

Leverage Portkey with OpenAI's Computer Use tool for automated browser interactions with enterprise-grade observability and controls

OpenAI's Computer Use tool enables AI to interact with computer interfaces through a continuous loop of actions and screenshots, allowing for automated web browsing, form filling, data extraction, and other complex UI-based tasks. However, deploying this capability in production environments comes with challenges around monitoring, cost control, and reliability.

This cookbook demonstrates how to integrate Portkey with OpenAI's Computer Use to build production-ready automation solutions with enterprise-grade controls. You'll learn how to:

* Set up a Portkey client to handle Computer Use API calls
* Build a complete Playwright-based browser automation solution
* Implement the continuous action-screenshot loop required by Computer Use
* Enhance your application with Portkey's enterprise features

## Why Use Portkey with Computer Use?

Portkey adds several critical capabilities when working with OpenAI's Computer Use:

* **Unified API Gateway**: Seamlessly switch between models or providers while maintaining the same implementation
* **Cost Tracking & Budget Controls**: Monitor usage costs in real-time and set spending limits to prevent unexpected bills
* **Detailed Analytics**: View 40+ metrics for each interaction including token usage, response times, and error rates
* **Enhanced Reliability**: Implement retries, fallbacks, and timeouts to make your automation more resilient
* **Secure API Key Management**: Store API credentials securely using Portkey's Model Catalog
* **Usage Attribution**: Track usage across teams, departments, or projects for proper cost allocation

OpenAI's Computer Use tool enables AI to interact with computer interfaces through a continuous loop of actions and screenshots. Portkey's integration with this capability makes it production-ready with enterprise features like observability, reliability, and governance controls.

## Prerequisites

* Portkey account with API key ([sign up here](https://app.portkey.ai))
* OpenAI credentials added in [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog) (e.g., named `openai-prod`)
* Playwright for browser automation

<Note>
  This guide focuses on Playwright integration, but Portkey works equally well with other environments supported by Computer Use, such as Docker-based VMs or other automation frameworks.
</Note>

## Integration Steps

### 1. Install & Import Required Libraries

```bash icon="square-terminal" theme={"system"}
pip install portkey-ai playwright
```

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
import time
import base64
from portkey_ai import Portkey  # Import Portkey instead of OpenAI
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
```

<Note>
  The first time you run this, if you haven't used Playwright before, you will be prompted to install dependencies. Execute the command suggested, which will depend on your OS.
</Note>

### 2. Initialize Portkey Client

Replace the standard OpenAI client with Portkey's client, configuring it with your Portkey API key and provider slug:

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
client = Portkey(
    api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    provider="@openai-prod"  # Your provider slug from Model Catalog
)
```

### 3. Set Up Your Browser Environment

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch(
        headless=False,
        chromium_sandbox=True,
        env={},
        args=[
            "--disable-extensions",
            "--disable-file-system"
        ]
    )
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.set_viewport_size({"width": 1024, "height": 768})
    page.goto("https://bing.com")  # Starting URL

    page.wait_for_timeout(2000)  # Wait for page to load
```

### 4. Create Helper Functions for Actions and Screenshots

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
def handle_model_action(page, action):
    """Execute computer actions on the Playwright page."""
    action_type = action.type

    try:
        match action_type:
            case "click":
                x, y = action.x, action.y
                button = action.button
                print(f"Action: click at ({x}, {y}) with button '{button}'")
                if button != "left" and button != "right":
                    button = "left"
                page.mouse.click(x, y, button=button)

            case "scroll":
                x, y = action.x, action.y
                scroll_x, scroll_y = action.scroll_x, action.scroll_y
                print(f"Action: scroll at ({x}, {y}) with offsets ({scroll_x}, {scroll_y})")
                page.mouse.move(x, y)
                page.evaluate(f"window.scrollBy({scroll_x}, {scroll_y})")

            case "keypress":
                keys = action.keys
                for k in keys:
                    print(f"Action: keypress '{k}'")
                    if k.lower() == "enter":
                        page.keyboard.press("Enter")
                    elif k.lower() == "space":
                        page.keyboard.press(" ")
                    else:
                        page.keyboard.press(k)

            case "type":
                text = action.text
                print(f"Action: type text: {text}")
                page.keyboard.type(text)

            case "wait":
                print(f"Action: wait")
                time.sleep(2)

            case "screenshot":
                print(f"Action: screenshot")
                # Nothing to do as screenshot is taken at each turn

            case _:
                print(f"Unrecognized action: {action}")

    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error handling action {action}: {e}")


def get_screenshot(page):
    """Take a screenshot using Playwright."""
    return page.screenshot()
```

### 5. Implement the Computer Use Loop

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
def computer_use_loop(instance, response):
    """Run the loop that executes computer actions until no more 'computer_call' is found."""
    while True:
        computer_calls = [item for item in response.output if item.type == "computer_call"]
        if not computer_calls:
            print("No computer call found. Output from model:")
            for item in response.output:
                print(item)
            break  # Exit when no computer calls are issued.

        # We expect at most one computer call per response.
        computer_call = computer_calls[0]
        last_call_id = computer_call.call_id
        action = computer_call.action

        # Execute the action
        handle_model_action(instance, action)
        time.sleep(1)  # Allow time for changes to take effect.

        # Take a screenshot after the action
        screenshot_bytes = get_screenshot(instance)
        screenshot_base64 = base64.b64encode(screenshot_bytes).decode("utf-8")

        # Send the screenshot back as a computer_call_output
        response = client.responses.create(
            model="computer-use-preview",
            previous_response_id=response.id,
            tools=[
                {
                    "type": "computer_use_preview",
                    "display_width": 1024,
                    "display_height": 768,
                    "environment": "browser"
                }
            ],
            input=[
                {
                    "call_id": last_call_id,
                    "type": "computer_call_output",
                    "output": {
                        "type": "input_image",
                        "image_url": f"data:image/png;base64,{screenshot_base64}"
                    }
                }
            ],
            truncation="auto"
        )

    return response
```

### 6. Start the Computer Use Session

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
# Initialize the first request
initial_response = client.responses.create(
    model="computer-use-preview",
    tools=[{
        "type": "computer_use_preview",
        "display_width": 1024,
        "display_height": 768,
        "environment": "browser"
    }],
    input=[
        {
          "role": "user",
          "content": [
            {
              "type": "input_text",
              "text": "Check the latest OpenAI news on bing.com."
            }
          ]
        }
    ],
    reasoning={
        "summary": "concise",
    },
    truncation="auto"
)

# Start the computer use loop
final_response = computer_use_loop(page, initial_response)
```

# How to Run Structured Output Evals at Scale
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/run-batch-evals



Building production-ready AI applications requires more than just choosing the right model and infrastructure. Just like traditional software development relies on comprehensive testing, AI applications need rigorous evaluation to ensure they perform reliably in the real world.

Consider a customer support chatbot for a food delivery service. If it incorrectly processes a refund request, your company bears the financial cost. If it misunderstands a complaint about food allergies, the consequences could be even more severe. These high-stakes scenarios demand systematic evaluation before deployment.

<Note>
  You can find the full code [here](#complete-script)
</Note>

## The Problem with Generic Evaluations

Many teams start with off-the-shelf metrics like "helpfulness" rated 1-5. As Hamel Hussain notes in his evaluation guide: **"Binary evaluations force clearer thinking and more consistent labeling."**

Instead of vague scales, effective evaluations should:

* **Use binary metrics**: Pass/fail decisions that force clarity
* **Be domain-specific**: Tied directly to your application's success criteria
* **Be verifiable**: Validated against expert-labeled data

## What We'll Build

In this cookbook, we'll take a ground-up approach to building custom evaluations for your AI application using Portkey.

We'll work through a practical example: an AI agent that analyzes Amazon product reviews. Our agent needs to:

1. Classify sentiment (positive/negative/neutral)
2. Return results in a specific JSON format

### Our Evaluation Framework

Using real Amazon review data, we'll build evaluations that check:

1. **Format compliance**: Does the output match our required JSON schema `{"sentiment": "positive"}`?

By the end of this guide, you'll have a reusable framework for building evaluations specific to your own AI applications.

## Prerequisites

# Part 1: Building Your Evaluation Framework

### Design Your Evaluation Prompt

<Tip>
  **Best Practice**: Start with clear, specific instructions and concrete examples. Ambiguous prompts lead to inconsistent evaluations.
</Tip>

Portkey’s Prompt Library is a centralized platform for managing, versioning, and deploying prompts across your AI applications. It provides:

* **Version Control**: Track changes and rollback to previous versions

* **Variable Substitution**: Use mustache-style templates (`{{variable}}`) for dynamic content

* **Model Configuration**: Set provider, model, and parameters in one place

* **Team Collaboration**: Share and manage prompts across your organization

**Navigate to Portkey's Prompt Library**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create New Prompt">
    Navigate to **Prompts** → **Create Prompt** in your Portkey dashboard
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Basic Settings">
    * **Name**: `sentiment-analysis-evaluator`
    * **Provider**: OpenAI (or your preferred provider)
    * **Model**: gpt-4o-mini
    * **Temperature**: 0 (for consistency)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add System Instructions">
    ```
    You are a sentiment analysis expert. Always respond with valid JSON.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the User Prompt">
    Add this template with mustache variables:

    ```
    Analyze the sentiment of this Amazon product review.

    REQUIREMENTS:
    1. Classify as exactly one of: positive, negative, or neutral
    2. Use lowercase only
    3. Return valid JSON in this exact format: {"categories": ["<sentiment>"]}
    4. Base classification on the overall tone, ignoring minor complaints in positive reviews

    EXAMPLES:

    Input: "This charger works perfectly! Fast charging, great price. Minor issue with cable length but I'd buy again."
    Output: {"sentiment": ["positive"]}

    Input: "Product did not arrive on time. Does what it says. Nothing special."
    Output: {"sentiment": ["negative"]}

    Input: "Complete waste of money. Broke after 2 days. Customer service was useless."
    Output: {"sentiment": ["negative"]}

    REVIEW TO ANALYZE:
    {{amazon_review}}
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and Copy ID">
    Save the prompt and copy the Prompt ID (e.g., `prm_abc123`)
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  The variable `{{amazon_review}}` must match exactly what you'll pass in your API calls. Mismatched variables are a common source of errors.
</Warning>

### Create the JSON Schema Validator

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Guardrails">
    Go to **Guardrails** → **Create Guardrail**
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Validator">
    * **Name**: `sentiment-json-validator`
    * **Type**: JSON Schema Validator
    * **Position**: After (validates model output)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Schema">
    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
      "type": "object",
      "required": ["categories"],
      "properties": {
        "categories": {
          "type": "array",
          "items": {
            "type": "string",
            "enum": ["positive", "negative"]
          },
          "minItems": 1,
          "maxItems": 1
        }
      },
      "additionalProperties": false
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    This Guardrail will act as a check after the response and validate if the model repose is a valid JSON schema as we need.

    <Frame>
      <img />
    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Combine with a Config

Configs orchestrate how requests route with Portkey. You can define a config as a JSON inside Portkey app and access it in your Portkey Client using `config_id`.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Config">
    Navigate to **Configs** → **Create Config**

    * **Name**: `sentiment-eval-config`

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "output_guardrails": ["your-json-schem-guardrail-id"]
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save Configuration">
    Copy the Config ID (e.g., `cfg_xyz789`)
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Accordion title="What You've Built So Far">
  * ✅ A prompt that clearly defines the sentiment analysis task
  * ✅ Output validation that ensures consistent JSON formatting
  * ✅ A config that ties everything together
</Accordion>

## Part 2: Running Batch Evaluations

Now that we have our prompt template and guardrails configured, let's run evaluations at scale using Portkey's batch processing capabilities. Batch processing allows you to evaluate hundreds or thousands of examples efficiently and cost-effectively.

### Why Batch Processing for Evaluations?

Portkey’s batching engine lets you run thousands of LLM calls across any provider—whether or not they support native batching. It handles everything for you: queuing, retries, timeouts, and async execution. You don’t need to manage infrastructure; Portkey ensures high-throughput, reliable inference at scale. Plus, every call in the batch is fully observable, with token usage, cost, and latency available for monitoring and optimization.

### Setting Up the Evaluation Pipeline

Let's build a complete pipeline that:

1. Fetches real Amazon reviews from Hugging Face
2. Formats them for batch processing
3. Runs them through our configured prompt
4. Collects results with automatic scoring

First, install the required dependencies:

```bash theme={"system"}
pip install requests pandas
```

Now, let's walk through the complete batch evaluation script:

```python theme={"system"}
"""
Portkey Batch Evaluation Pipeline
This script demonstrates how to:
1. Fetch Amazon reviews from Hugging Face
2. Create JSONL file with proper format
3. Upload to Portkey
4. Create and monitor batch job
5. Retrieve results and save to CSV
"""

import requests
import json
import pandas as pd
import time

# Configuration
PORTKEY_API_KEY = "YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"  # Replace with your API key
PROMPT_ID = "YOUR_PROMPT_ID"  # Replace with your prompt ID from Part 1
BASE_URL = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1"
```

### Step 1: Fetch Amazon Reviews

We'll use the Hugging Face datasets API to fetch real Amazon product reviews:

```python theme={"system"}
# Step 1: Fetch Amazon reviews from Hugging Face
print("\n=== Step 1: Fetching Amazon reviews ===")
url = "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/rows"
params = {
    "dataset": "sentence-transformers/amazon-reviews",
    "config": "pair",
    "split": "train",
    "offset": 0,
    "length": 10  # Start with 10 reviews for testing
}

response = requests.get(url, params=params)
data = response.json()

reviews = []
for row in data['rows']:
    if 'row' in row and 'review' in row['row']:
        reviews.append(row['row']['review'])

print(f"Fetched {len(reviews)} reviews")

```

<Note>
  You can increase the `length` parameter to evaluate more reviews. For production evaluations, you might process hundreds or thousands of reviews.
</Note>

### Step 2: Create JSONL File

Portkey's batch API expects a JSONL (JSON Lines) file where each line is a separate request:

```python theme={"system"}
# Step 2: Create JSONL file
print("\n=== Step 2: Creating JSONL file ===")
jsonl_entries = []

for idx, review in enumerate(reviews, 1):
    entry = {
        "custom_id": f"request-{idx}",
        "method": "POST",
        "url": f"/v1/prompts/{PROMPT_ID}/completions",
        "body": {
            "variables": {
                "amazon_review": review  # This replaces {{amazon_review}} in prompt
            }
        }
    }
    jsonl_entries.append(entry)

filename = "amazon_reviews_batch.jsonl"
with open(filename, 'w') as file:
    for entry in jsonl_entries:
        file.write(json.dumps(entry) + '\n')

print(f"Created {filename} with {len(jsonl_entries)} entries")
```

### Step 3: Upload File to Portkey

```python theme={"system"}
# Step 3: Upload file to Portkey
print("\n=== Step 3: Uploading file to Portkey ===")
upload_url = f"{BASE_URL}/files"
headers = {"x-portkey-api-key": PORTKEY_API_KEY}

with open(filename, 'rb') as file:
    files = {'file': (filename, file, 'application/jsonl')}
    data = {'purpose': 'batch'}
    response = requests.post(upload_url, headers=headers, files=files, data=data)

file_data = response.json()
file_id = file_data['id']
print(f"File uploaded. File ID: {file_id}")
```

### Step 4: Create Batch Job

Now we create the batch job, specifying our config ID to apply guardrails:

```python theme={"system"}
# Step 4: Create batch job
print("\n=== Step 4: Creating batch job ===")
batch_url = f"{BASE_URL}/batches"
headers = {
    "x-portkey-api-key": PORTKEY_API_KEY,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

batch_data = {
    "input_file_id": file_id,
    "endpoint": f"/v1/prompts/{PROMPT_ID}/completions",
    "completion_window": "immediate",
    "metadata": {
        "evaluation_name": "amazon_sentiment_eval_v1"
    },
    "portkey_options": {
            "x-portkey-config": CONFIG_ID
        }
}

response = requests.post(batch_url, headers=headers, json=batch_data)
batch_response = response.json()
batch_id = batch_response['id']
print(f"Batch created. Batch ID: {batch_id}")
```

<Warning>
  Don't forget to add your Config ID to the batch request. This ensures your guardrails (PII check, output validation, and feedback scoring) are applied to every request in the batch.
</Warning>

### Step 5: Monitor Batch Status

```python theme={"system"}
# Step 5: Check batch status
print("\n=== Step 5: Checking batch status ===")
status_url = f"{BASE_URL}/batches/{batch_id}"
headers = {"x-portkey-api-key": PORTKEY_API_KEY}

while True:
    response = requests.get(status_url, headers=headers)
    status_data = response.json()

    status = status_data.get('status')
    request_counts = status_data.get('request_counts', {})

    print(f"Status: {status} | Completed: {request_counts.get('completed', 0)}/{request_counts.get('total', 0)}")

    if status == 'completed':
        break
    elif status == 'failed':
        print("Batch failed!")
        break

    time.sleep(2)
```

### Step 6: Retrieve and Process Results

```python theme={"system"}
# Step 6: Get batch output
# Step 6: Get batch output
print("\n=== Step 6: Getting batch output ===")
output_url = f"{BASE_URL}/batches/{batch_id}/output"
response = requests.get(output_url, headers=headers)

# Parse JSONL response
results = []
for line in response.text.strip().split('\n'):
    if line:
        results.append(json.loads(line))

print(f"Retrieved {len(results)} results")




# Step 7: Save to CSV
print("\n=== Step 7: Saving results to CSV ===")
csv_data = []

for result in results:
    custom_id = result.get('custom_id', '')

    # Get original review
    idx = int(custom_id.split('-')[1]) - 1
    original_review = reviews[idx] if idx < len(reviews) else ""

    # Extract response
    response_body = result.get('response', {}).get('body', {})
    choices = response_body.get('choices', [])

    if choices:
        assistant_response = choices[0].get('message', {}).get('content', '')
        # Parse the JSON response to get sentiment
        try:
            sentiment_data = json.loads(assistant_response)
            sentiment = sentiment_data.get('categories', ['unknown'])[0]
        except:
            sentiment = 'parse_error'
    else:
        assistant_response = "No response"
        sentiment = 'no_response'

    status_code = result.get('response', {}).get('status_code', '')

    csv_data.append({
        'custom_id': custom_id,
        'original_review': original_review,
        'sentiment': sentiment,
        'full_response': assistant_response,
        'status_code': status_code,
        'JSON Schema Validate': status_code == 246  # Add new column
    })

# Create DataFrame and save
df = pd.DataFrame(csv_data)
output_filename = "batch_evaluation_results.csv"
df.to_csv(output_filename, index=False)
print(f"Results saved to {output_filename}")

# Display summary
print(f"\nSummary:")
print(f"Total requests: {len(results)}")
print(f"Successful: {len(df[df['status_code'] == 200])}")

# Show sentiment distribution
print("\nSentiment Distribution:")
print(df['sentiment'].value_counts())

# Prepare data for display
display_df = df.copy()
# Truncate original_review to 50 characters
display_df['original_review'] = display_df['original_review'].apply(lambda x: str(x)[:50] + '...' if len(str(x)) > 50 else x)
# Truncate full_response to 30 characters
display_df['full_response'] = display_df['full_response'].apply(lambda x: str(x)[:30] + '...' if len(str(x)) > 30 else x)

# Select and reorder columns for display
display_columns = ['custom_id', 'sentiment', 'status_code', 'JSON Schema Validate', 'original_review']
display_df = display_df[display_columns]

# Display the CSV in a nice table format
print("\nDetailed Results:")
print(tabulate(display_df, headers='keys', tablefmt='simple', showindex=False))
```

## Understanding the Results

The script outputs a CSV with your evaluation results. Here's what matters:

* **status\_code 200**: Request passed JSON schema validation ✅
* **status\_code 246**: Request failed JSON schema validation ❌

Example output:

```
Summary:
Total requests: 10
Successful: 8
Schema Validation Passed: 8
Schema Validation Failed: 2

Sentiment Distribution:
positive    5
negative    3
parse_error 2
```

## What to Do Next

<Steps>
  <Step title="Fix Schema Failures">
    If you see 246 status codes, check:

    * Is your prompt output format clear?
    * Did you include enough examples?
    * Is the JSON structure in your prompt exactly right?
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scale Up">
    Change `length: 10` to `length: 100` or `length: 1000` to test more reviews
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add More Guardrails">
    Create guardrails for:

    * Checking if negative reviews mention refunds
    * Validating positive reviews aren't too short
    * Flagging reviews that need human review
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Conclusion

You now have:

* A working evaluation pipeline
* Automatic JSON validation
* Batch processing for scale
* Clear pass/fail metrics

Start with 100 reviews, fix any issues, then scale to thousands.

# Run Portkey on Prompts from Langchain Hub
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/run-portkey-on-prompts-from-langchain-hub

Writing the right prompt is often hard to get a quality LLM response. You want the prompt to be specialized and exhaustive enough for your problem. There is a high chance someone else might’ve stumbled across a similar situation and written the prompt you’ve been figuring out all this while. 

Langchain’s [Prompts Hub](https://smith.langchain.com/hub) is like Github but for prompts. You can pull the prompt to make API calls to your favorite Large Language Models (LLMs) on providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc. [Portkey](https://portkey.ai/) provides a unified API interface (follows the OpenAI signature) to make API calls through its SDK.

Learn more about [Langchain Hub](https://blog.langchain.dev/langchain-prompt-hub/) and [Portkey](https://portkey.ai/docs).

In this cookbook, we will pick up a prompt to direct the model in generating precise step-by-step instructions to reach a user-desired goal. This requires us to grab a prompt by browsing on the Prompts Hub and integrating it into Portkey to make a chat completions API call.

Let’s get started.

## 1. Import Langchain Hub and Portkey Libraries

Why not explore the prompts listed on the [Prompts Hub](https://smith.langchain.com/hub)?

Meanwhile, let’s boot up the NodeJS environment and start importing libraries — `langchain` and `portkey-ai`

```sh theme={"system"}
import * as the hub from 'langchain/hub';

import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';
```

You can access the Langchain Hub through SDK read-only without a LangSmith API Key.

Since we expect to use Portkey to make API calls, let’s instantiate and authenticate with the API keys. You can[ get the Portkey API key](https://portkey.ai/docs/welcome/make-your-first-request#id-1.-get-your-portkey-api-key) from the dashboard and save your OpenAI API key in the [Portkey Vault](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys) to get a Virtual Key.

```py theme={"system"}
const portkey = new Portkey({

  apiKey: 'xxtrk',

  virtualKey: 'main-xwxxxf4d'

});
```

Did you find an interesting prompt to use? I found one at [ohkgi/superb\_system\_instruction\_prompt](https://smith.langchain.com/hub/ohkgi/superb%5Fsystem%5Finstruction%5Fprompt).

This prompt details the prompt to direct the model to generate step-by-step instructions, precisely what we are searching for.

## 2. Pull a Prompt from Langchain Hub

Next up, let’s try to get the Prompt details using the `hub` API

Pass the label of the *repository* on as an argument to `pull` method as follows:

```sh theme={"system"}
const response = await hub.pull('ohkgi/superb_system_instruction_prompt');

console.log(response.promptMessages[0].prompt.template);
```

This should log the following to the console:

```sh theme={"system"}
# You are a text generating AIs instructive prompt creator, and you: Generate Clever and Effective Instructions for a Generative AI Model, where any and all instructions you write will be carried out by a single prompt response from....(truncated)
```

Good going! It’s time to pipe the prompt to make the API call.

## 3. Make the API Call using Portkey

The model we will request is going to be OpenAI’s GPT4. Since `gpt-4` accepts System and User roles, let’s prepare them.

```py theme={"system"}
const userGoal = 'design a blue button in the website to gain highest CTA';

const SYSTEM = response.promptMessages[0].prompt.template;

const USER = `I need  instructions  for this goal:\n${userGoal}\n

They should be in a similar format as your own instructions.`;

const messages = [

  {

    role: 'system',

    content: String(SYSTEM)

  },

  {

    role: 'user',

    content: String(USER)

  }

];
```

Pass `messages` to the chat completions call as an argument to the response.

```py theme={"system"}
const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({

  messages,

  model: 'gpt-4'

});

console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
```

```sh theme={"system"}
1. Begin by understanding the specific context in which the blue button is required. This includes the purpose of the call-to-action (CTA),..
```

## 4. Explore the Logs

The prompt we used consisted of approximately 1300 tokens and cost around 5.5 cents. This information can be found on Portkey's Logs page, which provides valuable data such as the time it took for the request to be processed, dates, and a snapshot of the request headers and body.

Read about all the observability features you get in the [docs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/observability).

Congratulations! You now have the skills to access a prompt from the Langchain hub through programming and use it to make an API request to GPT4. Try out a quick experiment by tweaking your prompt from the Langchain hub and trying out the Claude2.1 model. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve!

<Accordion title="See the full code">
  ```js theme={"system"}
  import * as hub from 'langchain/hub';

  import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

  const portkey = new Portkey({

  apiKey: 'xxxxrk',

  });

  const response = await hub.pull('ohkgi/superb_system_instruction_prompt');

  const userGoal = 'design a blue button in the website to gain highest CTA';

  const SYSTEM = response.promptMessages[0].prompt.template;

  const USER = `I need  instructions  for this goal:\n${userGoal}\n

  They should be in a similar format as your own instructions.

  `;

  const messages = [

  {
    role: 'system',
    content: String(SYSTEM)
  },

  {
    role: 'user',
    content: String(USER)
  }

  ];

  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'claude-2.1',
  max_tokens: 1000

  });

  console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
  ```

# Setting up resilient Load balancers with failure-mitigating Fallbacks
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/setting-up-resilient-load-balancers-with-failure-mitigating-fallbacks

Companies often face challenges of scaling their services efficiently as the traffic to their applications grow - when you’re consuming APIs, the first point of failure is that if you hit the API too much, you can get rate limited. Loadbalancing is a proven way to scale usage horizontally without overburdening any one provider and thus staying within rate limits.

For your AI app, rate limits are even more stringent, and if you start hitting the providers’ rate limits, there’s nothing you can do except wait to cool down and try again. With Portkey, we help you solve this very easily.

This cookbook will teach you how to utilize Portkey to distribute traffic across multiple LLMs, ensuring that your loadbalancer is robust by setting up backups for requests. Additionally, you will learn how to load balance across OpenAI and Anthropic, leveraging the powerful Claude-3 models recently developed by Anthropic, with Azure serving as the fallback layer.

Prerequisites:

You should have the [Portkey API Key](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/authentication#obtaining-your-api-key). Please sign up to obtain it. Additionally, you should have stored the OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Anthropic details in the [Portkey vault](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys).

## 1. Import the SDK and authenticate Portkey

Start by installing the `portkey-ai` to your NodeJS project.

```sh theme={"system"}
npm i --save portkey-ai
```

Once installed, you can import it and instantiate it with the API key to your Portkey account.

```sh theme={"system"}
import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: process.env['PORTKEYAI_API_KEY']
});
```

## 2. Create Configs: Loadbalance with Nested Fallbacks

Portkey acts as AI gateway to all of your requests to LLMs. It follows the OpenAI SDK signature in all of it’s methods and interfaces making it easy to use and switch. Here is an example of an chat completions requests through Portkey.

```sh theme={"system"}
const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages
});
```

The Portkey AI gateway can apply our desired behaviour to the requests to various LLMs. In a nutshell, our desired behaviour is the following:

Lucky for us, all of this can implemented by passing a configs allowing us to express what behavior to apply to every request through the Portkey AI gateway.

```JSON theme={"system"}
const config = {
  strategy: {
    mode: 'loadbalance'
  },
  targets: [
    {
      override_params: {
        model: '@anthropic/claude-3-opus',
        max_tokens: 200
      },
      weight: 0.5
    },
    {
      strategy: {
        mode: 'fallback'
      },
      targets: [
        {
          override_params: {
            model: '@openai/gpt-3.5-turbo'
          }
        },
        {
          override_params: {
            model: '@azure-openai/gpt-3.5-turbo'
          }
        }
      ],
      weight: 0.5
    }
  ]
};

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: process.env['PORTKEYAI_API_KEY'],
  config: config // pass configs as argument
});
```

We apply the `loadbalance` strategy across *Anthropic and OpenAI.* `weight` describes the traffic should be split into 50/50 among both the LLM providers while `override_params` will help us override the defaults.

Let’s take this a step further to apply a fallback mechanism for the requests from\* OpenAI\* to fallback to *Azure OpenAI*. This nested mechanism among the `targets` will ensure our app is reliable in the production in great confidence.

See the documentation for Portkey [Fallbacks](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/fallbacks) and [Loadbalancing](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/load-balancing).

## 3. Make a Request

Now that the `config` ‘s are concrete and are passed as arguments when instantiating the Portkey client instance, all subsequent will acquire desired behavior auto-magically — No additional changes to the codebase.

```JSON theme={"system"}
const messages = [
  {
    role: 'system',
    content: 'You are a very helpful assistant.'
  },
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: 'What are 7 wonders in the world?'
  }
];

const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
  messages
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

// The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World are:
```

Next, we will examine how to identify load-balanced requests or those that have been executed as fallbacks.

## 4. Trace the request from the logs

It can be challenging to identify particular requests from the thousands that are received every day, similar to trying to find a needle in a haystack. However, Portkey offers a solution by enabling us to attach a desired trace ID. Here `request-loadbalance-fallback`.

```JSON theme={"system"}
const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
  {
    messages
  },
  {
    traceID: 'request-loadbalance-fallback'
  }
);
```

This trace ID can be used to filter requests from the Portkey Dashboard (>Logs) easily.

In addition to activating Loadbalance (icon), the logs provide essential observability information, including tokens, cost, and model.

Are the configs growing and becoming harder to manage in the code? [Try creating them from Portkey UI](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/configs#creating-configs) and reference the configs ID in your code. It will make it significantly easier to maintain.

## 5. Advanced: Canary Testing

Given there are new models coming every day and your app is in production — What is the best way to try the quality of those models? Canary Testing allows you to gradually roll out a change to a small subset of users before making it available to everyone.

Consider this scenario: You have been using OpenAI as your LLM provider for a while now, but are considering trying an open-source Llama model for your app through Anyscale.

```JSON theme={"system"}
const config = {
  strategy: {
    mode: 'loadbalance'
  },
  targets: [
    {
      override_params: {
        model: '@openai/gpt-3.5-turbo'
      },
      weight: 0.9
    },
    {
      override_params: {
        model: '@anyscale/meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf'
      },
      weight: 0.1
    }
  ]
};

const portkey = new Portkey({
  apiKey: process.env['PORTKEYAI_API_KEY'],
  config: config
});

const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create(
  {
    messages
  },
  {
    traceID: 'canary-testing'
  }
);

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

The `weight` , indication of traffic is split to have 10% of your user-base are served from Anyscale’s Llama models. Now, you are all set up to get feedback and observe the performance of your app and release increasingly to larger userbase.

## Considerations

You can implement production-grade Loadbalancing and nested fallback mechanisms with just a few lines of code. While you are equipped with all the tools for your next GenAI app, here are a few considerations:

* Every request has to adhere to the LLM provider’s requirements for it to be successful. For instance, `max_tokens` is required for Anthropic and not for OpenAI.
* While loadbalance helps reduce the load on one LLM - it is recommended to pair it with a Fallback strategy to ensure that your app stays reliable
* On Portkey, you can also pass the loadbalance weight as 0 - this will essentially stop routing requests to that target and you can amp it up when required
* Loadbalance has no target limits as such, so you can potentially add multiple account details from one provider and effectively multiply your available rate limits
* Loadbalance does not alter the outputs or the latency of the requests in any way

Happy Coding!

# Setup OpenAI -> Azure OpenAI Fallback
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/setup-openai-greater-than-azure-openai-fallback

Portkey Fallbacks can automatically switch your app's requests from one LLM provider to another, ensuring reliability by allowing you to fallback among multiple LLMs.

[<img alt="" />](https://colab.research.google.com/github/Portkey-AI/portkey-cookbook/blob/main/ai-gateway/how%5Fto%5Fsetup%5Ffallback%5Ffrom%5Fopenai%5Fto%5Fazure%5Fopenai.ipynb)

## How to Setup Fallback from OpenAI to Azure OpenAI

Let’s say you’ve built an LLM-based app and deployed it to production. It relies on OpenAI’s gpt-4 model. It’s [Mar 12, 2023](https://status.portkey.ai/incident/339664), and suddenly your users find errors with the functionality of the app — “It doesn’t work!”

It turns out that in the logs, the app has encountered [503 errors](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes) due to overloaded requests on the server-side. What could you do? If you are in such a situation, we have an answer for you: Portkey Fallbacks.

This is especially useful given the unpredictable nature of LLM APIs. With Portkey, you can switch to a different LLM provider, such as Azure, when needed, making your app Production-Ready.

In this cookbook, we will learn how to implement a fallback mechanism in our apps that allows us to automatically switch the LLM provider from OpenAI to Azure OpenAI with just a few lines of code. Both providers have the exact same set of models, but they are deployed differently. Azure OpenAI comes with its own deployment mechanisms, which are generally considered to be more reliable.

Prerequisites:

1. You have the [Portkey API Key](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/authentication#obtaining-your-api-key). \[ [Sign Up](https://portkey.ai) ]
2. You stored OpenAI and Azure OpenAI API keys as [virtual keys](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/virtual-keys).

## 1. Import the SDK and authenticate with Portkey

We start by importing Portkey SDK into our NodeJS project using npm and authenticate by passing the Portkey API Key.

```sh theme={"system"}
!pip install portkey-ai openai
```

```js theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

from google.colab import userdata

PORTKEYAI_API_KEY=userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY')

OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY=userdata.get('OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY')

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key=PORTKEYAI_API_KEY,

)
```

## 2. Create Fallback Configs

Next, we will create a configs object that influences the behavior of the request sent using Portkey.

```js theme={"system"}
{

 strategy: {

    mode: "fallback",

  },

  targets: [

    {

      virtual_key: OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,

    },

    {

      virtual_key: AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,

    },

  ],

}
```

This configuration instructs Portkey to use a \_fallback \_strategy with the requests. The \_targets\_array lists the virtual keys of LLMs in the order Portkey should fallback to an alternative.

Most users find it way more cleaner to define the configs in the Portkey UI and reference the config ID in the code. [Try it out](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway-streamline-llm-integrations/configs#creating-configs).

Add this configuration to the *portkey* instance to apply the fallback behavior to all the requests.

```js theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey

from google.colab import userdata

import json

PORTKEYAI_API_KEY=userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY')

OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY=userdata.get('OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY')

AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY=userdata.get('AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY')

config_data = {

 'strategy': {

    'mode': "fallback",

  },

  'targets': [
    {
      'virtual_key': OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,
    },
    {
      'virtual_key': AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,
    }
  ]
}

portkey = Portkey(
    api_key=PORTKEYAI_API_KEY,
    virtual_key=OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,
    config=json.dumps(config_data)
)
```

Always reference the credentials from the environment variables to prevent exposure of any sensitive data. Portkey will automatically infer the LLM providers based on the passed virtual keys.

> The Azure OpenAI virtual key only needs to be set up once, and it will then be accessible through Portkey in all subsequent API calls.

Fallback Configs without virtual keys

```js theme={"system"}
{
  "strategy": {
    "mode": "fallback"
  },
  "targets": [
    {
      "provider": "openai",
      "api_key": "sk-xxxxxxxxpRT4xxxx5"
    },
    {
      "provider": "azure-openai",
      "api_key": "*******"
    }
  ]
}
```

## 3. Make a request

All the requests will hit OpenAI since Portkey proxies all those requests to the target(s) we already specified. Notice that the changes to the requests do not demand any code changes in the business logic implementation. Smooth!

```js theme={"system"}
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "What are the 7 wonders of the world?"
    }
]

response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    messages = messages,
    model = 'gpt-3.5-turbo'
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content) # Here is the plan
```

When OpenAI returns any 4xx or 5xx errors, Portkey will automatically switch to Azure OpenAI to ensure the same specified model is used.

## 4. View the Fallback Status in Logs

Since all the requests go through Portkey, Portkey can log them for better observability of your app. You can find the specific requests by passing an *trace ID*. It can be any desired string name. In this case, `my-trace-id`

```js theme={"system"}
response = portkey.with_options(trace_id="").chat.completions.create(
    messages = messages,
    model = 'gpt-4'
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

You can apply filter with Trace ID to list requests. Instances when the fallbacks are activated will highlight the fallback icon. The logs can be filtered by cost, tokens, status, config, trace id and so on.

Learn more about [Logs](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/logs).

## 5. Advanced: Fallback on Specific Status Codes

Portkey provides finer control over the when it should apply fallback strategy to your requests to LLMs. You can define the configuration to condition based on specific status codes returned by the LLM provider.

```js theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey
from google.colab import userdata
import json

PORTKEYAI_API_KEY=userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY')
OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY=userdata.get('OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY')
AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY=userdata.get('AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY')

config_data = {

 'strategy': {

    'mode': "fallback",

    'on_status_codes': [429]

  },

  'targets': [

    {

      'virtual_key': OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,

    },

    {

      'virtual_key': AZURE_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,

    },

  ],

}

portkey = Portkey(

    api_key=PORTKEYAI_API_KEY,

    virtual_key=OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY,

    config=json.dumps(config_data)

)

messages = [

    {

        "role": "user",

        "content": "What are the 7 wonders of the world?"

    }

]

response = portkey.chat.completions.create(

    messages = messages,

    model = 'gpt-3.5-turbo'

)

print(response.choices[0].message.content) # Here is the plan
```

In the above case for all the request that are acknowledged with the status code of 429 will fallback from OpenAI to Azure OpenAI.

## 6. Considerations

That’s it; you can implement production-grade fallback mechanisms with just a few lines of code. While you are equipped with all the tools to implement fallbacks to your next GenAI app, here are few considerations:

* The implementation of Fallback does not alter the quality of LLM outputs received by your app.
* Azure requires you to deploy specific models. Portkey will automatically trigger the chat completions endpoint using GPT4 if it is available instead of GPT3.5.


# Smart Fallback with Model-Optimized Prompts
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/smart-fallback-with-model-optimized-prompts

Portkey can help you easily create fallbacks from one LLM to another, making your application more reliable. While Fallback ensures reliability, it also means that you'll be running a prompt optimized for one LLM on another, which can often lead to significant differences in the final output.

Using Portkey Prompt templates you can optimize for specific models and ensure the final output is best optimised for the use-case, even if there are different models (in the fallback chain).

In this cookbook, we will explore setting up fallbacks between model-optimized prompt templates instead of using the same prompt for different models.

Let’s get started

## 1. Import and Authenticate Portkey SDK

Start by importing Portkey SDK into your NodeJS project using npm and authenticate by passing the Portkey API Key.

```py theme={"system"}
import { Portkey } from 'portkey-ai';

const portkey = new Portkey({

  apiKey: process.env.PORTKEYAI_API_KEY

});
```

You are now ready to access methods on `portkey` instance to trigger a prompt completions API.

## 2. The Limitation with the Traditional Fallbacks

Prepare the prompt for the task you want the model to do. We want our model to split a goal into actionable steps for the cookbook. The good version I was able to come up with `GPT`4 was with the following prompt with **default** model parameters (based on satisfactory response in the playground):

```sh theme={"system"}
You are a productivity expert. When given a task, you can smartly suggest possible subtasks. You list the subtasks in less than 10 items, keeping each as actionable.
```

| System:You are a productivity expert. When given a task, you can smartly suggest possible subtasks. You list the subtasks in less than 10 items, keeping each short and actionable.User:The following is the goal I want to achieve:I want to become fit in 6 months | GPT4:1. Visit a doctor for a health check-up.2. Set specific fitness goals (like weight loss, strength, etc)....9. Stay hydrated and make adjustments as required. | Claude:Here are some suggested subtasks to help you achieve six-pack abs in six months:1. Develop a balanced and nutritious meal plan that focuses on lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats while limiting processed foods and sugary drinks.2. Create a sustainable calorie deficit by tracking your daily food intake and ensuring you burn more calories than you consume....9. Stay motivated by setting short-term goals, rewarding yourself for progress, and seeking support from friends, family, or a fitness coach. |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

This means the prompt that got the satisfactory output from GPT4 may not fetch optimum quality with Claude. From the above example, Claude’s response is a bit more elaborate than what we wanted—short and actionable.

We will solve this problem with model optimised prompt templates.

## 3. Create Model-Optimised Prompt Templates

Using Portkey Prompt Templates, you can write your prompt and instructions in one place and then just input the variables when making a call rather than passing the whole instruction again.

To create a prompt template:

1. Login into Portkey Dashboard
2. Navigate to **Prompts**
   1. Click **Create** to open prompt creation page

The following page should open:

I am using Anthopic’s `claude-3-opus-20240229` model to instruct it to generate sub-tasks for an user’s goal. You can declare an variable using moustache syntax to substitute an value when prompt is triggered. For example, `{{goal}}` is substituted with “I want to earn six packs in six months” in the playground.

Now, create another prompt template that can act as a fallback.

You can create the same prompt this time but use a different model, such as `gpt-4`. You have created two prompt templates by now. You must have noticed each prompt has a slightly different `system` message based on the model. After experimenting with each model, the above prompt was best suited for suggesting actionable steps to reach the goal.

The models on this page require you to add your OpenAI and Anthropic API keys in [Model Catalog](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog).

For further exploration, Try learning about OpenAI SDK to work with Prompt Templates.

## Fallback Configs using Prompt Templates

You need to prepare requests to apply fallback strategy. To do that, use the created prompt templates earlier, one with Anthropic and another with OpenAI, structure them as follows:

```JSON theme={"system"}
{

  "strategy": {

    "mode": "fallback"

  },

  "targets": [

    {

      "prompt_id": "task_to_subtasks_anthropic"

    },

    {

      "prompt_id": "task_to_subtasks_openai"

    }

  ]

}
```

The `targets` is an array of objects ordered by preference in favor of *Anthropic* and then on to *OpenAI*.

Pass these `config`s at instance creation from Portkey

```py theme={"system"}
const portkey = new Portkey({

  apiKey: PORTKEY_API_KEY,

  config: {

    strategy: {

      mode: 'fallback'

    },

    targets: [

      {

        prompt_id: 'task_to_subtasks_anthropic'

      },

      {

        prompt_id: 'task_to_subtasks_openai'

      }

    ]

  }

});
```

With this step done, moving forward the methods on `portkey` will have the context of above gateway configs for every request sent through portkey.

Read more about different ways to work with Gateway Configs.

## Trigger Prompt Completions to Activate Smart Fallbacks

The prompt templates are prepared to be triggered while the Portkey client SDK waits to trigger the prompt completions API.

```py theme={"system"}
const response = await portkey.prompts.completions.create({

  promptID: 'pp-test-811461',

  variables: { goal: 'I want to acquire an AI engineering skills' }

});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content); // success
```

The `promptID` invokes the prompt template you want to trigger on a prompt completions API. Since we already pass the gateway configs as an argument to the `configs` parameter during client instance creation, the value against the `promptID` is ignored, and `task_to_subtasks_anthropic` will be treated as the first target where requests will routed to, then fallback to `task_to_subtasks_openai` as defined in the `targets`.

Notice how `variables` hold the information to be substituted in the prompt templates at runtime. Also, even when the `promptID` is valid, the gateway configs will be respected in precedence.

See the [reference](https://portkey.ai/docs/api-reference/prompts/prompt-completion) to learn more.

## View Fallback status in the Logs

Portkey provides the **Logs** to inspect and monitor all the requests seamlessly. It provides valuable information about each request from date/time, model, request, response, etc.

Here is a screenshot of a log:

[Refer to the Logs documentation](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/observability/logs).

Great job! You learned how to create prompt templates in Portkey and set up fallbacks for thousands of requests from your app, all with just a few lines of code.

## Bonus: Activate Loadbalancing

Loadbalancing can split the volume of requests to both prompts separately, respecting the `weight`s. As an outcome, you have fewer chances of hitting the rate limits and not overwhelming the models.

Here is how you can update the gateway configs:

```py theme={"system"}
const portkey = new Portkey({

  apiKey: PORTKEY_API_KEY,

  config: {

    strategy: {

      mode: 'loadbalance'

    },

    targets: [

      {

        prompt_id: 'task_to_subtasks_anthropic',

        weight: 0.1

      },

      {

        prompt_id: 'task_to_subtasks_openai',

        weight: 0.9

      }

    ]

  }

});
```

The weights will split the traffic of 90% to OpenAI and 10% to Anthropic prompt templates.

Great job! You learned how to create prompt templates in Portkey and set up fallbacks and load balancing for thousands of requests from your app, all with just a few lines of code.

Happy Coding!

# Tracking LLM Costs Per User with Portkey
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/use-cases/track-costs-using-metadata

Monitor and analyze user-level LLM costs across 1600+ models using Portkey's metadata and analytics API.

LLM runs are expensive. As your application scales, tracking costs per user, team, or workflow becomes essential to maintaining efficiency and budgeting effectively.

Traditional solutions only provide API key-level tracking, requiring complex custom systems for detailed analysis. Portkey solves this with **metadata-based tracking**, allowing you to monitor and allocate costs seamlessly.

## Why Track LLM Costs Per User?

Consider these scenarios:

1. Your SaaS platform serves thousands of users—how do you track and bill their usage fairly?
2. Your enterprise team needs cost transparency across different departments—how do you allocate expenses?
3. Your application has multiple features leveraging LLMs—how much is each feature costing you?

With Portkey, you can track costs per user using **two methods**:

1. **Portkey Dashboard:** Use metadata filters to analyze costs visually.
2. **Analytics API:** Integrate with your systems to display real-time cost insights in your app.

This guide walks you through both approaches.

***

## Step 1: Attach User Metadata to LLM Requests

Portkey allows you to attach metadata (key-value pairs) to each request, enabling cost breakdowns per user.

Portkey's metadata accepts a JSON object of `key:value` pair. Each metadata value should be a **string** (max length: **128 characters**). Here’s how to implement it:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  # Python Implementation Example
  from portkey import Portkey

  portkey = Portkey(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      provider="@OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY"
  )


  response = portkey.with_options(
      metadata = {
          "_user": "customer_1",  # Special user identifier
          "team": "mobile_app_v2",
          "env": "production"
  }).chat.completions.create(
      messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'What is 1729' }],
      model = 'gpt-4'
  )

  print(response.choices[0].message)
  ```

  ```javascript NodeJS theme={"system"}
  import {Portkey} from 'portkey-ai'

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
      virtualKey: "OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY"
  })

  const requestOptions = {
      metadata: {
          "_user": "USER_ID",
          "organisation": "ORG_ID",
          "request_id": "1729"
      }
  }

  const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Who was ariadne?' }],
      model: 'gpt-4',
  }, requestOptions);

  console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -H "x-portkey-virtual-key: $OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY" \
    -H "x-portkey-metadata: {\"_user\":\"USER_ID\", \"organisation\":\"ORG_ID\", \"request_id\":\"1729\"}" \
    -d '{
      "model": "gpt-4",
      "messages": [{"role": "user","content": "Hello!"}]
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Each metadata field in your request helps categorize and track costs. You can inject these values dynamically from your application context.

***

## Step 2: View User Costs in the Portkey Dashboard

Portkey’s dashboard provides a **live view** of costs broken down by metadata filters.

1. Open **Portkey Dashboard**
2. In the **Search Bar**, select `>Meta`
3. Add a metadata filter, e.g., `_user = customer_12345`

You can also combine filters (e.g., `_user` + `env`) and adjust the **time range** for historical cost tracking.

<Frame>
  <img />
</Frame>

This gives you an instant breakdown of LLM expenses per user or team.

***

## Step 3: Fetch Cost Data Programmatically via the Analytics API

For deeper integrations, the **Analytics API** enables real-time cost tracking inside your own application. This is useful for:

* **User-facing billing dashboards** (show users their LLM usage in real time)
* **Automated cost monitoring** (trigger alerts when a user’s spending exceeds a threshold)
* **Enterprise reporting** (export data for budget forecasting)

**Understanding the Analytics API**

The API provides comprehensive cost analytics data across any metadata dimension you've configured. You can query historical data, aggregate costs across different timeframes, and access detailed metrics for each metadata value.
Here's what you can access through the API:

```json theme={"system"}
"data": [
  {
    "metadata_value": "kreacher",
    "requests": 4344632,
    "cost": 3887.3066999996863,
    "avg_tokens": 447.3689256075083,
    "avg_weighted_feedback": 4.2,
    "requests_with_feedback": 10,
    "last_seen": "2025-02-03T07:19:30.000Z",
    "object": "analytics-group"
  },
  {
    ...more such objects
  }
```

These metrics provide insights into costs, usage patterns, and efficiency. The response includes:

* Total requests and costs per metadata value
* Average token usage for optimization analysis
* User feedback metrics for quality assessment
* Timestamp data for temporal analysis

## Step 4: Tracking User Costs using Portkey's Analytics API

Before making your first API call, you'll need to obtain an API key from the Portkey Dashboard. This key requires analytics scope access, which you can configure in your API key settings.

<Note>
  Review the complete [Analytics API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/analytics/groups-paginated-data/get-metadata-grouped-data) documentation for additional endpoints and features.
</Note>

The API follows RESTful principles and accepts standard HTTP requests. Here's how to get started:

1. Replace the api key in the `x-portkey-api-key` header.
2. In the url replace `{metadataKey}` with the metadata key you want to track costs for.

<Note>
  * Use the `page_size` parameter to control the number of results per response
  * Include additional filters by passing a stringified JSON object in the `metadata` field
</Note>

That's all you need to do the get the resonse data with the cost metric for the metadata key you are tracking.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js NodeJS theme={"system"}
  const options = {method: 'GET', headers: {'x-portkey-api-key': '<api-key>'}};

  fetch('https://api.portkey.ai/v1/analytics/groups/metadata/{metadataKey}', options)
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(response => console.log(response))
    .catch(err => console.error(err));

  ```

  ```py Python theme={"system"}
  import requests

  url = "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/analytics/groups/metadata/{metadataKey}"

  headers = {"x-portkey-api-key": "<api-key>"}

  response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)

  print(response.text)

  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={"system"}
  curl --request GET \
    --url https://api.portkey.ai/v1/analytics/groups/metadata/{metadataKey} \
    --header 'x-portkey-api-key: <api-key>'
  ```

  ```java Java theme={"system"}
  HttpResponse<String> response = Unirest.get("https://api.portkey.ai/v1/analytics/groups/metadata/{metadataKey}")
    .header("x-portkey-api-key", "<api-key>")
    .asString();
  ```

  ```go GO theme={"system"}
  package main

  import (
  	"fmt"
  	"net/http"
  	"io/ioutil"
  )

  func main() {

  	url := "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/analytics/groups/metadata/{metadataKey}"
  	req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)
  	req.Header.Add("x-portkey-api-key", "<api-key>")
  	res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
  	defer res.Body.Close()
  	body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)

  	fmt.Println(res)
  	fmt.Println(string(body))

  }

  ```

  ```js PHP theme={"system"}
  <?php

  $curl = curl_init();

  curl_setopt_array($curl, [
    CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.portkey.ai/v1/analytics/groups/metadata/{metadataKey}",
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
      "x-portkey-api-key: <api-key>"
    ],
  ]);

  $response = curl_exec($curl);
  $err = curl_error($curl);

  curl_close($curl);

  if ($err) {
    echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
  } else {
    echo $response;
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**How Developers & Teams Use This API**

* **CTOs:** Gain visibility into LLM costs across teams.
* **DevOps:** Monitor and optimize token usage.
* **Product Teams:** Track costs by feature to identify inefficiencies.
* **Finance Teams:** Automate cost allocation and reporting.

## Step 5: Automate User Cost Tracking

Once you’ve integrated metadata tagging and the Analytics API, you can:

# 4. Advanced Strategies for Performance Improvement
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/whitepapers/optimizing-llm-costs/advanced-strategies



While the FrugalGPT techniques provide a solid foundation for cost optimization, there are additional advanced strategies that can further enhance the performance of GenAI applications. These strategies focus on tailoring models to specific tasks, augmenting them with external knowledge, and accelerating inference.

Fine-tuning involves adapting a pre-trained model to a specific task or domain, potentially improving performance while using a smaller, more cost-effective model.

## 4.1 Benefits of Fine-tuning

* Improved accuracy on domain-specific tasks
* Reduced inference time and costs
* Potential for smaller model usage

## Implementation Considerations

1. **Data preparation**: Curate a high-quality dataset representative of your specific use case.
2. **Hyperparameter optimization**: Experiment with learning rates, batch sizes, and epochs to find the optimal configuration.
3. **Continuous evaluation**: Regularly assess the fine-tuned model's performance against the base model.

## Example Fine-tuning Process

Here's a basic example using Hugging Face's Transformers library:

```python theme={"system"}
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, Trainer, TrainingArguments

# Load pre-trained model and tokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("gpt2")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2")

# Prepare your dataset
train_dataset = ...  # Your custom dataset

# Define training arguments
training_args = TrainingArguments(
    output_dir="./results",
    num_train_epochs=3,
    per_device_train_batch_size=8,
    save_steps=10_000,
    save_total_limit=2,
)

# Create Trainer instance
trainer = Trainer(
    model=model,
    args=training_args,
    train_dataset=train_dataset,
)

# Fine-tune the model
trainer.train()

# Save the fine-tuned model
model.save_pretrained("./fine_tuned_model")
tokenizer.save_pretrained("./fine_tuned_model")
```

By fine-tuning models to your specific use case, you can achieve better performance with smaller, more efficient models.

## 4.2 Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)

RAG combines the power of LLMs with external knowledge retrieval, allowing models to access up-to-date information and reduce hallucinations.

## Key Components of RAG

1. **Document store**: A database of relevant documents or knowledge snippets.
2. **Retriever**: A system that finds relevant information based on the input query.
3. **Generator**: The LLM that produces the final output using the retrieved information.

## Benefits of RAG

* Improved accuracy and relevance of responses
* Reduced need for frequent model updates
* Ability to incorporate domain-specific knowledge

## Implementing RAG

Here's a basic example using Langchain:

```python theme={"system"}
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma

# 3. FrugalGPT Techniques for Cost Optimization
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/whitepapers/optimizing-llm-costs/frugalgpt-techniques



The FrugalGPT framework introduces three key techniques for reducing LLM inference costs while maintaining or even improving performance. Let's explore each of these in detail.

## 3.1 Prompt Adaptation

Prompt adaptation is a key technique in the FrugalGPT framework for reducing LLM inference costs while maintaining performance. It involves crafting concise, optimized prompts to minimize token usage and processing costs.

## Key Strategies

1. **Clear and concise instructions**: Eliminate unnecessary words or context that don't contribute to the desired output.

2. **Use of delimiters**: Clearly separate different parts of the prompt (e.g., context, instructions, input) using delimiters like "###" or "---".

3. **Structured prompts**: Organize information in a logical, easy-to-process format for the model.

4. **Iterative refinement**: Continuously test and refine prompts to achieve the desired output with minimal token usage.

## Example

Here's an example of prompt adaptation:

```
Before:
Please analyze the following customer review and provide a summary of the main points, including any positive or negative aspects mentioned, and suggest how the company could improve based on this feedback. Here's the review: [long customer review text]

After:
Summarize key points from this review:
Positive:
Negative:
Improvement suggestions:
###
[concise customer review text]
```

By adapting prompts in this way, you can significantly reduce token usage while still obtaining high-quality outputs from the model.

## 3.2 LLM Approximation

LLM approximation is a technique in the FrugalGPT framework that involves using caches and model fine-tuning to avoid repeated queries to expensive models. This approach can lead to substantial cost savings, especially for frequently asked questions or similar queries.

## Key Strategies

1. **Response caching**: Store responses to common queries for quick retrieval.

2. **Semantic caching**: Use similarity measures to return cached responses for semantically similar queries.

3. **Fine-tuning smaller models**: Train smaller, task-specific models on the outputs of larger models.

## Implementation Example

Here's a basic example of implementing semantic caching:

```python theme={"system"}
import numpy as np
from sklearn.metrics.pairwise import cosine_similarity
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2')

def get_embeddings(texts):
    # Implementation details...

cache = {}  # Simple in-memory cache

def semantic_cache_query(query):
    query_embedding = get_embeddings([query])[0]
    for cached_query, response in cache.items():
        cached_embedding = get_embeddings([cached_query])[0]
        similarity = cosine_similarity([query_embedding], [cached_embedding])[0][0]
        if similarity > 0.95:  # Adjust threshold as needed
            return response
    return None  # No similar query found in cache

# Usage
response = semantic_cache_query("What's the weather like today?")
if response is None:
    # Query the expensive LLM and cache the result
    response = expensive_llm_query("What's the weather like today?")
    cache["What's the weather like today?"] = response
print(response)
```

## 3.3 LLM Cascade

This approach can lead to significant cost savings, especially for applications with repetitive queries or similar user inputs.

The LLM cascade technique involves dynamically selecting the optimal set of LLMs to query based on the input. This approach leverages the strengths of different models while managing costs effectively.

## Key Components

1. **Task classifier**: Determines the complexity and nature of the input query.

2. **Model selector**: Chooses the appropriate model(s) based on the task classification.

3. **Confidence evaluator**: Assesses the confidence of each model's output.

4. **Escalation logic**: Decides whether to query a more powerful (and expensive) model based on confidence thresholds.

## Implementation Example

Here's a basic example of implementing an LLM cascade:

```python theme={"system"}
def classify_task(query):
    # Implement task classification logic
    pass

def select_model(task_type):
    # Choose appropriate model based on task type
    pass

def evaluate_confidence(model_output):
    # Implement confidence evaluation logic
    pass

def llm_cascade(query):
    task_type = classify_task(query)
    selected_model = select_model(task_type)
    response = selected_model.generate(query)
    confidence = evaluate_confidence(response)
    
    if confidence < CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD:
        # Escalate to more powerful model
        advanced_model = select_advanced_model(task_type)
        response = advanced_model.generate(query)
    
    return response

# Usage
result = llm_cascade("Explain quantum computing in simple terms")
print(result)
```

By implementing an LLM cascade, organizations can optimize their use of different models, ensuring that expensive, high-performance models are only used when necessary.

        self.num_heads = num_heads
        self.sparsity = sparsity
        self.attention = nn.MultiheadAttention(dim, num_heads)

    def forward(self, query, key, value):
        attn_mask = torch.rand(query.size(0), key.size(0)) > self.sparsity
        attn_output, _ = self.attention(query, key, value, attn_mask=attn_mask)
        return attn_output

# Usage
sparse_attn = SparseAttention(dim=512)
output = sparse_attn(query, key, value)
```

By staying informed about these emerging technologies, organizations can position themselves to take advantage of new opportunities for cost optimization and performance improvement in their GenAI initiatives.

# 2. Understanding LLM Cost Drivers
Source: https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/guides/whitepapers/optimizing-llm-costs/llm-cost-drivers

An overview of the factors that influence costs in Large Language Model applications

Before diving into optimization strategies, it's crucial to understand the primary factors that drive costs in LLM applications. This knowledge forms the foundation for effective cost management and optimization efforts.

## Model Size and Complexity

The size of an LLM, typically measured by the number of parameters, is a significant cost driver. Larger models, while often more capable, come with higher computational requirements for both training and inference. This translates to increased costs in terms of:

* Hardware resources (GPUs, TPUs, etc.)
* Energy consumption
* Data center or cloud infrastructure

For example, GPT-3, with its 175 billion parameters, requires substantial computational power, making it considerably more expensive to run than smaller models.

## Input and Output Tokens

Most LLM providers, including OpenAI, charge based on the number of tokens processed. Tokens are units of text that the model processes, typically consisting of a few characters or a whole word. Costs are incurred for both:

* Input tokens: The text sent to the model (prompts, context, etc.)
* Output tokens: The text generated by the model

Understanding this pricing model is crucial, as it directly impacts how you structure your prompts and manage the model's output.

## API Calls and Usage Patterns

The frequency and volume of API calls to LLM services significantly affect costs. Factors to consider include:

* Number of users or applications accessing the model
* Frequency of queries
* Complexity of tasks (which may require multiple API calls)

Usage patterns can lead to unexpected cost spikes, especially if not properly monitored and managed.

## Hidden Costs in GenAI Implementations

Beyond the obvious costs of model usage, there are several hidden expenses that organizations often overlook:

1. Data preparation and management: Cleaning, formatting, and storing data for model training or fine-tuning.
2. Model evaluation and testing: Resources spent on ensuring model accuracy and performance.
3. Integration costs: Expenses related to incorporating GenAI into existing systems and workflows.
4. Talent acquisition and training: Hiring AI specialists or upskilling existing staff.
5. Compliance and security measures: Implementing safeguards to ensure responsible AI use and data protection.

By gaining a comprehensive understanding of these cost drivers, organizations can more effectively target their optimization efforts and make informed decisions about their GenAI investments.

Effective operation of GenAI applications is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and cost-efficiency over time. This section explores key operational best practices that can help organizations maximize the value of their LLM investments.

## 6.1 Monitoring and Governance

Implementing robust monitoring and governance practices is essential for maintaining control over GenAI usage and costs.

## Key Aspects of Monitoring and Governance

1. **Usage Tracking**: Monitor the number of API calls, token usage, and associated costs for each model and application.
2. **Performance Metrics**: Track response times, error rates, and model accuracy to ensure quality of service.
3. **Cost Allocation**: Implement systems to attribute costs to specific projects, teams, or business units.
4. **Alerting**: Set up alerts for unusual spikes in usage or costs to quickly identify and address issues.
5. **Compliance Monitoring**: Ensure that AI usage adheres to regulatory requirements and internal policies.

## Implementation Example

Here's a basic example using Prometheus and Flask for monitoring:

```python theme={"system"}
from prometheus_client import Counter, Histogram
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import time

app = Flask(__name__)

# Define metrics
API_CALLS = Counter('api_calls_total', 'Total number of API calls', ['model'])
TOKEN_USAGE = Counter('token_usage_total', 'Total number of tokens used', ['model'])
RESPONSE_TIME = Histogram('response_time_seconds', 'Response time in seconds', ['model'])

@app.route('/generate', methods=['POST'])
def generate():
    model_name = request.json['model']
    prompt = request.json['prompt']
    
    API_CALLS.labels(model=model_name).inc()
    
    start_time = time.time()
    response = generate_text(model_name, prompt)  # Your text generation function
    end_time = time.time()
    
    TOKEN_USAGE.labels(model=model_name).inc(len(response.split()))
    RESPONSE_TIME.labels(model=model_name).observe(end_time - start_time)
    
    return jsonify({"response": response})

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()
```

By implementing comprehensive monitoring and governance practices, organizations can maintain better control over their LLM usage, optimize costs, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

## 6.2 Caching Strategies

Implementing effective caching strategies can significantly reduce API calls and associated costs in LLM applications.

## Types of Caching

1. **Result Caching**: Store and reuse results for identical queries.
2. **Semantic Caching**: Cache results for semantically similar queries.
3. **Partial Result Caching**: Cache intermediate results for complex queries.

## Implementing a Semantic Cache

Here's a basic example of implementing a semantic cache:

```python theme={"system"}
import numpy as np
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

class SemanticCache:
    def __init__(self):
        self.cache = {}
        self.model = SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')

    def get(self, query):
        query_embedding = self.model.encode([query])[0]
        for cached_query, (cached_embedding, result) in self.cache.items():
            similarity = np.dot(query_embedding, cached_embedding)
            if similarity > 0.95:  # Adjust threshold as needed
                return result
        return None

    def set(self, query, result):
        query_embedding = self.model.encode([query])[0]
        self.cache[query] = (query_embedding, result)

# Usage
cache = SemanticCache()
result = cache.get("What's the weather like today?")
if result is None:
    result = expensive_api_call("What's the weather like today?")
    cache.set("What's the weather like today?", result)
print(result)
```

By implementing effective caching strategies, organizations can significantly reduce the number of API calls to their LLM services, leading to substantial cost savings and improved response times.

## 6.3 Automated Model Selection and Routing

## Key Components

1. **Query Classifier**: Categorize incoming queries based on complexity, domain, etc.
2. **Model Selector**: Choose the appropriate model based on the query classification.
3. **Performance Monitor**: Track the performance of selected models for continuous improvement.

## Implementation Example

Here's a basic example of how you might implement automated model selection and routing:

```python theme={"system"}
class ModelRouter:
    def __init__(self):
        self.models = {
            "simple": SimpleModel(),
            "complex": ComplexModel(),
            "specialized": SpecializedModel()
        }

    def classify_query(self, query):
        # Implement query classification logic
        # This could be based on keywords, length, complexity, etc.
        if len(query.split()) < 10:
            return "simple"
        elif any(keyword in query.lower() for keyword in ["analyze", "compare", "explain"]):
            return "complex"
        else:
            return "specialized"

    def select_model(self, query_type):
        return self.models[query_type]

    def route_query(self, query):
        query_type = self.classify_query(query)
        selected_model = self.select_model(query_type)
        return selected_model.generate(query)

# Usage
router = ModelRouter()
result = router.route_query("What's the capital of France?")
print(result)
```

By implementing automated model selection and routing, organizations can ensure that each query is handled by the most appropriate model, optimizing for both cost and performance.
