AI cost observability. Track every LLM call's cost, tokens, and latency with one line of code.

Install

pip install costkey

Quick Start

import costkey

costkey.init(dsn="https://[e-mail]/your-project")

# That's it. Every AI call is now tracked automatically.
# Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Azure OpenAI.

No wrapping. No per-client setup. No manual tagging. CostKey patches httpx and requests and auto-detects AI provider calls.

What You Get (Zero Config)

All of these work automatically after init():

• Cost tracking — per-call cost computed from built-in pricing (30+ models)
• Stack trace attribution — see which function, file, and line made each AI call
• Request tracing — group AI calls per request with start_trace()
• Feature detection — call chains are analyzed to detect logical "features" in your code
• Credential scrubbing — API keys, JWTs, and secrets are auto-redacted from captured bodies

How It Works

CostKey patches httpx.Client.send and requests.Session.send. When your code calls any AI provider:

1. Detects the provider from the URL (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure)
2. Extracts token usage from the response
3. Captures a stack trace for automatic code attribution
4. Computes cost using built-in model pricing
5. Ships the event async to your CostKey dashboard

Non-AI HTTP calls pass through untouched with zero overhead.

Tracing

# Group all AI calls in a request into one trace
with costkey.start_trace(name="POST /api/search"):
    intent = classify_intent(query)        # AI call 1
    results = search(query, intent)
    summary = summarize_results(results)   # AI call 2
    reranked = rerank_results(results)     # AI call 3

# Dashboard shows one trace with all 3 calls and total cost

Manual Context

with costkey.with_context(task="summarize", team="search"):
    response = openai.chat.completions.create(...)

Privacy & Security

• Never captures API keys — request headers are never read
• Auto-scrubs credentials from captured bodies (OpenAI keys, JWTs, tokens, etc.)
• before_send hook for custom PII scrubbing:

def scrub(event):
    event.request_body = None  # strip prompts entirely
    return event

costkey.init(dsn="...", before_send=scrub)

API

costkey.init(dsn, **options) — Initialize. Call once at startup.

costkey.with_context(**kwargs) — Context manager for custom tags.

costkey.start_trace(name) — Context manager for request tracing.

costkey.shutdown() — Flush and restore original HTTP clients.

costkey.register_extractor(extractor) — Add custom AI provider.

costkey.register_pricing(model, ...) — Add custom model pricing.

Also available for TypeScript
