# Pipecat

## Overview

This integration provides support for using OpenTelemetry with Pipecat applications. It enables tracing and monitoring of voice applications built with Pipecat, with automatic attribute mapping to Future AGI conventions.

## 1. Installation

Install the traceAI Pipecat package:

```bash theme={null}
pip install traceAI-pipecat pipecat-ai[tracing]
```

***

## 2. Set Environment Variables

Set up your environment variables to authenticate with FutureAGI and Pipecat:

```python theme={null}
import os

os.environ["FI_API_KEY"] = FI_API_KEY
os.environ["FI_SECRET_KEY"] = FI_SECRET_KEY
```

***

## 3. Initialize Trace Provider

Set up the trace provider to establish the observability pipeline:

```python theme={null}
from fi_instrumentation.otel import register, Transport, ProjectType

trace_provider = register(
    project_type=ProjectType.OBSERVE,
    project_name="Pipecat Voice App",
    set_global_tracer_provider=True,
)
```

***

## 4. Enable Attribute Mapping

Enable attribute mapping to convert Pipecat attributes to Future AGI conventions. This method automatically updates your existing span exporters:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python HTTP Transport theme={null}
  from traceai_pipecat import enable_http_attribute_mapping

  # For HTTP transport
  success = enable_http_attribute_mapping()
  ```

  ```python gRPC Transport theme={null}
  from traceai_pipecat import enable_grpc_attribute_mapping

  # For gRPC transport
  success = enable_grpc_attribute_mapping()
  ```

  ```python Explicit Transport theme={null}
  from traceai_pipecat import enable_fi_attribute_mapping
  from fi_instrumentation.otel import Transport

  # Or specify transport explicitly via enum
  success = enable_fi_attribute_mapping(transport=Transport.HTTP)  # or Transport.GRPC
  ```
</CodeGroup>

***

## 5. Initialize The Pipecat Application

Initialize the Pipecat application with the trace provider:

<Note>
  Enabling Tracing in Pipecat requires you to set the `enable_tracing` flag to `True` in the `PipelineParams` object.
  refer to this [link](https://docs.pipecat.ai/server/utilities/opentelemetry#basic-setup) for more details.

## Features

### Automatic Attribute Mapping

The integration automatically maps Pipecat-specific attributes to Future AGI conventions:

* **LLM Operations**: Maps `gen_ai.system`, `gen_ai.request.model` to `llm.provider`, `llm.model_name`
* **Input/Output**: Maps `input`, `output`, `transcript` to structured Future AGI format
* **Token Usage**: Maps `gen_ai.usage.*` to `llm.token_count.*`
* **Tools**: Maps tool-related attributes to Future AGI tool conventions
* **Session Data**: Maps conversation and session information
* **Metadata**: Consolidates miscellaneous attributes into structured metadata

### Transport Support

* **HTTP**: Full support for HTTP transport with automatic endpoint detection
* **gRPC**: Support for gRPC transport (requires `fi-instrumentation[grpc]`)

### Span Kind Detection

Automatically determines the appropriate `fi.span.kind` based on span attributes:

* `LLM`: For LLM, STT, and TTS operations
* `TOOL`: For tool calls and results
* `AGENT`: For setup and configuration spans
* `CHAIN`: For turn and conversation spans

***

## API Reference

### Integration Functions

#### `enable_fi_attribute_mapping(transport: Transport = Transport.HTTP) -> bool`

Install attribute mapping by replacing existing span exporters.

**Parameters:**

* `transport`: Transport protocol enum (`Transport.HTTP` or `Transport.GRPC`)

**Returns:**

* `bool`: True if at least one exporter was replaced

#### `enable_http_attribute_mapping() -> bool`

Convenience function for HTTP transport.

#### `enable_grpc_attribute_mapping() -> bool`

Convenience function for gRPC transport.

### Exporter Creation Functions

#### `create_mapped_http_exporter(endpoint: Optional[str] = None, headers: Optional[dict] = None)`

Create a new HTTP exporter with Pipecat attribute mapping.

#### `create_mapped_grpc_exporter(endpoint: Optional[str] = None, headers: Optional[dict] = None)`

Create a new gRPC exporter with Pipecat attribute mapping.

### Exporter Classes

#### `MappedHTTPSpanExporter`

HTTP span exporter that maps Pipecat attributes to Future AGI conventions.

#### `MappedGRPCSpanExporter`

gRPC span exporter that maps Pipecat attributes to Future AGI conventions.

#### `BaseMappedSpanExporter`

Base class for mapped span exporters.

***

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **No exporters found to replace**
   * Ensure you've called `register()` before installing attribute mapping
   * Check that the transport type matches your tracer provider configuration

2. **Import errors for gRPC**
   * Install gRPC dependencies: `pip install "fi-instrumentation[grpc]"`

3. **Data not being sent to FutureAGI**
   * Ensure that you have set the `FI_API_KEY` and `FI_SECRET_KEY` environment variables
   * Ensure that the `set_global_tracer_provider` in the `register` function is set to `True`
