portkey-ai 1.9.5

Python client library for the Portkey API

Control Panel for AI Apps

pip install portkey-ai

Features

The Portkey SDK is built on top of the OpenAI SDK, allowing you to seamlessly integrate Portkey's advanced features while retaining full compatibility with OpenAI methods. With Portkey, you can enhance your interactions with OpenAI or any other OpenAI-like provider by leveraging robust monitoring, reliability, prompt management, and more features - without modifying much of your existing code.

AI Gateway

Unified API Signature If you've used OpenAI, you already know how to use Portkey with any other provider.	Interoperability Write once, run with any provider. Switch between any model from_any provider seamlessly.
Automated Fallbacks & Retries 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.	Virtual Keys Secure your LLM API keys by storing them in Portkey vault and using disposable virtual keys.
Request Timeouts Manage unpredictable LLM latencies effectively by setting custom request timeouts on requests.

Observability

Logging Keep track of all requests for monitoring and debugging.	Requests Tracing Understand the journey of each request for optimization.
Custom Metadata Segment and categorize requests for better insights.	Feedbacks Collect and analyse weighted feedback on requests from users.
Analytics Track your app & LLM's performance with 40+ production-critical metrics in a single place.

Usage

Prerequisites

1. Sign up on Portkey and grab your Portkey API Key
2. Add your OpenAI key to Portkey's Virtual Keys page and keep it handy

# Installing the SDK

$ pip install portkey-ai
$ export PORTKEY_API_KEY=PORTKEY_API_KEY

Making a Request to OpenAI

• Portkey fully adheres to the OpenAI SDK signature. You can instantly switch to Portkey and start using our production features right out of the box.
  
• Just replace from openai import OpenAI with from portkey_ai import Portkey:

from portkey_ai import Portkey

portkey = Portkey(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    virtual_key="VIRTUAL_KEY"
)

chat_completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    messages = [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
    model = 'gpt-4'
)

print(chat_completion)

Async Usage

• Use AsyncPortkey instead of Portkey with await:

import asyncio
from portkey_ai import AsyncPortkey

portkey = AsyncPortkey(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    virtual_key="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())
