No Latitude account yet? Your agent can create a temporary one and do this whole setup with the [`latitude-setup` skill](/getting-started/skills), no signup. You'll keep calling Anthropic exactly as you do today. Telemetry simply observes and enriches those calls. *** ## Requirements * A **Latitude account** and **API key**, or none yet: your agent can create a temporary account with the [`latitude-setup` skill](/getting-started/skills), no signup * A **Latitude project slug** * A project that uses the **Anthropic SDK** *** ## Steps ```bash npm theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} npm install @latitude-data/telemetry @anthropic-ai/sdk ``` ```bash pnpm theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} pnpm add @latitude-data/telemetry @anthropic-ai/sdk ``` ```bash yarn theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} yarn add @latitude-data/telemetry @anthropic-ai/sdk ``` ```bash bun theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} bun add @latitude-data/telemetry @anthropic-ai/sdk ``` ```bash pip theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} pip install latitude-telemetry ``` ```bash uv theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} uv add latitude-telemetry ``` ```bash poetry theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} poetry add latitude-telemetry ``` ```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} import { createAnthropicInstrumentation } from "@latitude-data/telemetry/instrumentations/anthropic" import { Latitude, capture } from "@latitude-data/telemetry" import Anthropic, * as AnthropicSDK from "@anthropic-ai/sdk" const latitude = new Latitude({ apiKey: process.env.LATITUDE_API_KEY!, project: process.env.LATITUDE_PROJECT_SLUG!, instrumentations: [createAnthropicInstrumentation(AnthropicSDK)], }) await latitude.ready const client = new Anthropic() await capture("generate-reply", async () => { const message = await client.messages.create({ model: "claude-sonnet-4-20250514", max_tokens: 1024, messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }], }) return message.content[0].text }) await latitude.shutdown() ``` ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} import anthropic from anthropic import Anthropic from latitude_telemetry import Latitude, capture latitude = Latitude( api_key="your-api-key", project="your-project-slug", instrumentations={"anthropic": anthropic}, ) client = Anthropic() def generate_reply(): message = client.messages.create( model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514", max_tokens=1024, messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}], ) return message.content[0].text capture("generate-reply", generate_reply) latitude.shutdown() ``` *** ## Streaming When streaming, consume the stream inside `capture()` so the span covers the full operation: ```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} await capture("stream-reply", async () => { const stream = client.messages.stream({ model: "claude-sonnet-4-20250514", max_tokens: 1024, messages: [{ role: "user", content: input }], }) for await (const event of stream) { if ( event.type === "content_block_delta" && event.delta.type === "text_delta" ) { res.write(event.delta.text) } } res.end() }) ``` ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} def stream_reply(): chunks = [] with client.messages.stream( model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514", max_tokens=1024, messages=[{"role": "user", "content": input}], ) as stream: for text in stream.text_stream: chunks.append(text) return "".join(chunks) capture("stream-reply", stream_reply) ``` *** ## Seeing Your Traces Once connected, traces appear automatically in Latitude: 1. Open your **project** in the Latitude dashboard 2. Each execution shows input/output messages, model, token usage, latency, and errors ## See what was captured Once a real run has landed, your agent builds your first [Artifact](/more/artifacts): a single HTML page, in the Latitude look, with everything the telemetry captured from that session: model calls, tool calls, tokens, cost, timing, and the conversation as the model saw it. It is the fastest way to check the integration end to end and to see what Latitude will have to work with. The `latitude-setup` skill does this as its last step from its bundled `first-artifact.html` template, filling the page with the values the `latitude` CLI returns for the trace, and adds a **Claim your workspace** button when the account is temporary. If you set things up by hand, the same template and instructions live in the [skills repo](https://github.com/latitude-dev/skills/tree/main/skills/latitude-setup). Prompt, if you need to ask for it: ```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}} Build my first Latitude Artifact from the session that just landed, using the first-artifact.html template from the latitude-setup skill (github.com/latitude-dev/skills). ```
