aiqa-client 0.2.1

OpenTelemetry-based Python client for tracing functions and sending traces to the AIQA server

A Python client for the AIQA server

OpenTelemetry-based client for tracing Python functions and sending traces to the AIQA server.

Installation

From PyPI (recommended)

pip install aiqa-client

From source

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

See TESTING.md for detailed testing instructions.

Setup

Set the following environment variables:

export AIQA_SERVER_URL="http://localhost:3000"
export AIQA_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Usage

Basic Usage

from aiqa import WithTracing

@WithTracing
def my_function(x, y):
    return x + y

@WithTracing
async def my_async_function(x, y):
    await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
    return x * y

Custom Span Name

@WithTracing(name="custom_span_name")
def my_function():
    pass

Input/Output Filtering

@WithTracing(
    filter_input=lambda x: {"filtered": str(x)},
    filter_output=lambda x: {"result": x}
)
def my_function(data):
    return {"processed": data}

Flushing Spans

Spans are automatically flushed every 5 seconds. To flush immediately:

from aiqa import flush_spans
import asyncio

async def main():
    # Your code here
    await flush_spans()

asyncio.run(main())

Shutting Down

To ensure all spans are sent before process exit:

from aiqa import shutdown_tracing
import asyncio

async def main():
    # Your code here
    await shutdown_tracing()

asyncio.run(main())

Setting Span Attributes and Names

from aiqa import set_span_attribute, set_span_name

def my_function():
    set_span_attribute("custom.attribute", "value")
    set_span_name("custom_span_name")
    # ... rest of function

Features

• Automatic tracing of function calls (sync and async)
• Records function inputs and outputs as span attributes
• Automatic error tracking and exception recording
• Thread-safe span buffering and auto-flushing
• OpenTelemetry context propagation for nested spans

Example

See example.py for a complete working example.
