otelopenai middleware.
Setup
You will need an OpenRouter API key from your OpenRouter settings.Installation
Usage
Set
LANGWATCH_API_KEY and OPENROUTER_API_KEY environment variables before running.anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514). OpenRouter has no registered gen_ai.provider.name, so pass a custom value:
The middleware captures input and output content by default. Pass
otelopenai.WithDataCapture(langwatch.DataCaptureNone) to opt out.Using OpenRouter is a great way to experiment with different models without changing your core instrumentation logic. All calls will be traced by LangWatch, regardless of the underlying model you choose.
Check it worked
Run the program withgo run .. The deferred tp.Shutdown(ctx) flushes the spans when main returns. Then open your project in LangWatch: a new trace appears in the traces list within a few seconds, with the OpenRouter call as an LLM span carrying its input, output and token counts.
If no trace appears, check that LANGWATCH_API_KEY is set in the environment the program runs in.
