## Functions

---

### `init()`

The first element of AgentOps is always calling .init()

**Parameters**:

- `api_key` (str, optional): API Key for AgentOps services. If not provided, the key will be read from the `AGENTOPS_API_KEY` environment variable.
- `endpoint` (str, optional): The endpoint for the AgentOps service. Defaults to 'https://api.agentops.ai'.
- `max_wait_time` (int, optional): The maximum time to wait in milliseconds before flushing the queue. Defaults to 30,000 (30 seconds).
- `max_queue_size` (int, optional): The maximum size of the event queue. Defaults to 100.
- `tags` (List[str], optional): Tags for the sessions for grouping or sorting (e.g., ["GPT-4"]).
- `override` (bool, optional): [Deprecated] Use `instrument_llm_calls` instead to decide whether to instrument LLM calls and emit LLMEvents.
- `instrument_llm_calls` (bool): Whether to instrument LLM calls and emit LLMEvents.
- `auto_start_session` (bool): Whether to start a session automatically when the client is created. You may wish to delay starting a session in order to do additional setup or starting a session on a child process.
- `inherited_session_id` (str, optional): When creating the client, passing in this value will connect the client to an existing session. This is useful when having separate processes contribute to the same session.
- `skip_auto_end_session` (bool, optional): If you are using a framework such as Crew, the framework can decide when to halt execution. Setting this parameter to true will not end your agentops session when this happens.

**Returns**:

- Session ID of the current or new session.

### `start_session()`

Start a new [Session](/v1/concepts/sessions) for recording events.

**Parameters**:

- `tags` (List[str], optional): Tags for the session.
- `config` ([Config](#config), optional): Client configuration object.
- `inherited_session_id` (str, optional): Session ID to continue from an existing session.

**Returns**:

- Session ID of the started session.

---

### `end_session()`

Ends the current session with the AgentOps service.

**Parameters**:

- `end_state` (str): The final state of the session. Options: Success, Fail, or Indeterminate.
- `end_state_reason` (str, optional): The reason for ending the session.
- `video` (str, optional): URL to a video recording of the session.

---

### `record()`

Record an event with the AgentOps service.

**Parameters**:

- `event` (Union[Event, ErrorEvent]): The event to record.

---


### `get_api_key()`

Retrieve the API key used by the client.

**Returns**:

- API key as a string.

---


## Types
---

### `Config`

Stores the configuration settings for AgentOps clients.

**Parameters**:

- `api_key` (str, optional): API Key for AgentOps services. If not provided, the key will be read from the `AGENTOPS_API_KEY` environment variable. If no key is found, a `ConfigurationError` is raised.
- `endpoint` (str, optional): The endpoint for the AgentOps service. If not provided, the endpoint will be read from the `AGENTOPS_API_ENDPOINT` environment variable. Defaults to 'https://api.agentops.ai'.
- `max_wait_time` (int, optional): The maximum time to wait in milliseconds before flushing the queue. Defaults to 30000.
- `max_queue_size` (int, optional): The maximum size of the event queue. Defaults to 100.

**Properties**

- **api_key** (str): Get or set the API Key for AgentOps services.
- **endpoint** (str): Get or set the endpoint for the AgentOps service.
- **max_wait_time** (int): Get or set the maximum wait time in milliseconds before flushing the queue.
- **max_queue_size** (int): Get or set the maximum size of the event queue.

### `LangchainCallbackHandler`

[Reference](/v1/usage/langchain-callback-handler)

This callback handler is intended to be used as an option in place of AgentOps auto-instrumenting. This is only useful
when using LangChain as your LLM calling library.
