AgentOps provides seamless integration with Anthropic’s Python SDK, allowing you to track and analyze all your Claude model interactions automatically.

​
Installation

pip install agentops anthropic

​
Setting Up API Keys

Before using Anthropic with AgentOps, you need to set up your API keys. You can obtain: Then to set them up, you can either export them as environment variables or set them in a .env file. 
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your_anthropic_api_key_here"
export AGENTOPS_API_KEY="your_agentops_api_key_here"
Then load the environment variables in your Python code: 
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os

# Load environment variables from .env file
load_dotenv()

# Set up environment variables with fallback values
os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"] = os.getenv("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY")
os.environ["AGENTOPS_API_KEY"] = os.getenv("AGENTOPS_API_KEY")

​
Usage

Initialize AgentOps at the beginning of your application to automatically track all Anthropic API calls: 
import agentops
import anthropic

# Initialize AgentOps
agentops.init()

# Create Anthropic client
client = anthropic.Anthropic()

# Make a completion request - AgentOps will track it automatically
message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "What is artificial intelligence?"}
    ]
)

# Print the response received
print(message.content[0].text)

​
Examples

import agentops
import anthropic
      
# Initialize AgentOps
agentops.init()

# Create Anthropic client
client = anthropic.Anthropic()

# Make a streaming request
with client.messages.stream(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Write a short poem about artificial intelligence."}
    ]
) as stream:
    for text in stream.text_stream:
        print(text, end="", flush=True)
    print()
