Arthur Observability SDK — telemetry, prompt management, and framework instrumentation

Arthur Observability SDK

Python SDK for sending traces and managing prompts with the Arthur GenAI Engine.

---

Installation

pip install arthur-observability-sdk

To instrument a specific framework, install its extra:

pip install "arthur-observability-sdk[openai]"
pip install "arthur-observability-sdk[langchain]"
pip install "arthur-observability-sdk[anthropic]"

How-to guides

Full guides are in docs/:

• Getting started — initialisation, session/user context, framework instrumentation, shutdown
• Prompt management — fetching and rendering versioned prompts, PROMPT span attributes

Quick start

from arthur_observability_sdk import Arthur

arthur = Arthur(
    api_key="your-api-key",       # or set ARTHUR_API_KEY env var
    task_id="<your-task-uuid>",
    service_name="my-app",
)
arthur.instrument_openai()

# Tag all spans in this block with session and user
with arthur.attributes(session_id="sess-1", user_id="user-42"):
    response = openai_client.chat.completions.create(...)

arthur.shutdown()

Prompt management

# Fetch a saved prompt by name (defaults to "latest" version)
prompt = arthur.get_prompt("system-instructions")

# Render with variable substitution
rendered = arthur.render_prompt(
    "rag-answer",
    variables={"context": "...", "question": "..."},
)
messages = rendered["messages"]

Developer guide

Setup

cd arthur-observability-sdk

# 1. Generate the API client (requires Node.js and Java)
./scripts/generate_openapi_client.sh generate python

# 2. Install dependencies (also registers the generated client in the venv)
./scripts/generate_openapi_client.sh install python

Note: python/src/arthur_genai_client/ is auto-generated and gitignored. You must run ./scripts/generate_openapi_client.sh generate python after cloning, and again whenever the GenAI Engine API changes. See Regenerating the API client.

Running tests

# Run from arthur-observability-sdk/python/
cd python

# Unit tests only (fast, no network)
uv run pytest tests -m "unit_tests" -v

# Integration/smoke tests (builds wheel, installs into a fresh venv)
uv run pytest tests -m "integration_tests" -v

# All tests
uv run pytest tests -v

Linting

# Run from arthur-observability-sdk/
./scripts/lint.sh

Or individually (from arthur-observability-sdk/python/):

cd python
uv run black src tests
uv run isort src tests --profile black
uv run autoflake --remove-all-unused-imports --in-place --recursive src tests
uv run mypy src/arthur_observability_sdk

Regenerating the API client

python/src/arthur_genai_client/ is auto-generated from the GenAI Engine OpenAPI spec and is not committed to the repository. Regenerate it after cloning or whenever the API changes:

./scripts/generate_openapi_client.sh generate python

Requires Node.js (any recent LTS) and Java 11+.

Building the wheel

uv build --wheel
