honeyhive

HoneyHive Python SDK - LLM Observability and Evaluation Platform

HoneyHive

Main HoneyHive API client.

Provides an ergonomic interface to the HoneyHive API with both sync and async methods.

Example::

client = HoneyHive(api_key="your-api-key")

# Sync
configs = client.configurations.list()

# Async
configs = await client.configurations.list_async()

Attributes:

Name Type Description
configurations

datapoints

API for managing datapoints.

datasets

API for managing datasets.

events

API for managing events.

experiments

API for managing experiment runs.

metrics

API for managing metrics.

sessions

API for managing sessions.
