Quickstart - PandaProbe

Before you begin, make sure you have:

A PandaProbe account. Sign up at app.pandaprobe.com.
A PandaProbe API key + project name.
An API key for the LLM provider you want to trace: OpenAI, Gemini, or Anthropic.

Install the SDK

pip install "pandaprobe[openai,gemini,anthropic]"

uv add "pandaprobe[openai,gemini,anthropic]"

Set environment variables

export PANDAPROBE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export PANDAPROBE_PROJECT_NAME="your-project-name"

Self-hosting PandaProbe? Set PANDAPROBE_ENDPOINT="your-endpoint".

Wrap your LLM client

Choose the provider you want to trace. Make sure the matching provider API key is available in your environment.

OpenAI
Gemini
Anthropic

from pandaprobe.wrappers import wrap_openai
from openai import OpenAI

client = wrap_openai(OpenAI())

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What is PandaProbe?"}],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

from pandaprobe.wrappers import wrap_gemini
from google import genai

client = wrap_gemini(genai.Client())

response = client.models.generate_content(
    model="gemini-3.1-flash-preview",
    contents="What is PandaProbe?",
)

print(response.text)

from pandaprobe.wrappers import wrap_anthropic
from anthropic import Anthropic

client = wrap_anthropic(Anthropic())

response = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What is PandaProbe?"}],
)

print(response.content[0].text)
