# Langfuse Tracing for Pipecat
This demo showcases [Langfuse](https://langfuse.com) tracing integration for Pipecat services via OpenTelemetry, allowing you to visualize service calls, performance metrics, and dependencies with a focus on LLM observability.
Pipecat trace in Langfuse:

## Setup Instructions
### 1. Create a Langfuse Project and get API keys
[Self-host](https://langfuse.com/self-hosting) Langfuse or create a free [Langfuse Cloud](https://cloud.langfuse.com) account.
Create a new project and get the API keys.
### 2. Environment Configuration
Base64 encode your Langfuse public and secret key:
```bash
echo -n "pk-lf-1234567890:sk-lf-1234567890" | base64
```
Create a `.env` file with your API keys to enable tracing:
```
ENABLE_TRACING=true
# OTLP endpoint for Langfuse
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=https://cloud.langfuse.com/api/public/otel
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS=Authorization=Basic%20<base64_encoded_api_key>
# Set to any value to enable console output for debugging
# OTEL_CONSOLE_EXPORT=true
# Service API keys
DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your_key_here
CARTESIA_API_KEY=your_key_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here
```
### 3. Install Dependencies
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
> Install only the http exporter. If you have a conflict, uninstall the grpc exporter.
### 4. Run the Demo
```bash
python bot.py
```
### 5. View Traces in Langfuse
Open your browser to [https://cloud.langfuse.com](https://cloud.langfuse.com) to view traces.
## Langfuse-Specific Configuration
In the `bot.py` file, note the HTTP exporter configuration:
```python
from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter
# Create the exporter - configured from environment variables
otlp_exporter = OTLPSpanExporter()
# Set up tracing with the exporter
setup_tracing(
service_name="pipecat-demo",
exporter=otlp_exporter,
console_export=bool(os.getenv("OTEL_CONSOLE_EXPORT")),
)
```
## Troubleshooting
- **No Traces in Langfuse**: Ensure that your credentials are correct and follow this [troubleshooting guide](https://langfuse.com/faq/all/missing-traces)
- **Connection Errors**: Verify network connectivity to Langfuse
- **Authorization Issues**: Check that your base64 encoding is correct and the API keys are valid
