surfa-ingest 0.1.0

Official Python SDK for Surfa Analytics - Ingest live traffic events

Surfa Ingest SDK

Official Python SDK for ingesting live traffic events to Surfa Analytics.

Installation

pip install surfa-ingest

Quick Start

from surfa_ingest import SurfaClient

# Initialize client with your ingest key
client = SurfaClient(ingest_key="sk_live_your_key_here")

# Track events
client.track({
    "kind": "tool",
    "subtype": "call_started",
    "tool_name": "search_web",
    "args": {"query": "AI news"}
})

client.track({
    "kind": "tool",
    "subtype": "call_completed",
    "tool_name": "search_web",
    "status": "success",
    "latency_ms": 234
})

# Flush events to API
client.flush()

Context Manager (Recommended)

Use the context manager to automatically track session lifecycle:

from surfa_ingest import SurfaClient

with SurfaClient(ingest_key="sk_live_your_key_here") as client:
    # Session automatically started
    
    client.track({
        "kind": "tool",
        "subtype": "call_started",
        "tool_name": "search_web"
    })
    
    # Session automatically ended and events flushed on exit

Configuration

client = SurfaClient(
    ingest_key="sk_live_your_key_here",
    api_url="https://api.surfa.dev",  # Default: http://localhost:3000
    flush_at=25,                       # Auto-flush after 25 events
    timeout_s=10,                      # HTTP timeout in seconds
)

Set Runtime Metadata

Track which AI runtime is being used:

client = SurfaClient(ingest_key="sk_live_...")

client.set_runtime(
    provider="anthropic",
    model="claude-sonnet-4-5",
    mode="messages"
)

Event Types

Tool Events

# Tool call started
client.track({
    "kind": "tool",
    "subtype": "call_started",
    "tool_name": "search_web",
    "direction": "request",
    "args": {"query": "Python tutorials"}
})

# Tool call completed
client.track({
    "kind": "tool",
    "subtype": "call_completed",
    "tool_name": "search_web",
    "direction": "response",
    "status": "success",
    "latency_ms": 234,
    "results": [{"title": "Learn Python", "url": "..."}]
})

Session Events

# Session started
client.session_started()

# Session ended
client.session_ended()

Runtime Events

# LLM request
client.track({
    "kind": "runtime",
    "subtype": "llm_request",
    "direction": "outbound",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
    "temperature": 0.7
})

Event Fields

Required Fields

• kind (str): Event type (e.g., "tool", "session", "runtime")

Optional Fields

• subtype (str): Event subtype (e.g., "call_started", "session_ended")
• tool_name (str): Name of the tool
• status (str): Status (e.g., "success", "error")
• direction (str): Direction (e.g., "request", "response")
• method (str): HTTP method or similar
• correlation_id (str): Correlation ID for pairing events
• span_parent_id (str): Parent span ID for tracing
• latency_ms (int): Latency in milliseconds
• ts (str): Timestamp (ISO 8601 format, auto-generated if not provided)
• Any additional fields will be included in the event payload

Auto-Flush

Events are automatically flushed when:

1. Buffer reaches flush_at events (default: 25)
2. Context manager exits
3. flush() is called explicitly

Error Handling

from surfa_ingest import SurfaClient, SurfaConfigError, SurfaValidationError

try:
    client = SurfaClient(ingest_key="invalid_key")
except SurfaConfigError as e:
    print(f"Configuration error: {e}")

try:
    client.track({"invalid": "event"})  # Missing 'kind'
except SurfaValidationError as e:
    print(f"Validation error: {e}")

Logging

The SDK uses Python's standard logging module:

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
logger = logging.getLogger("surfa_ingest")
