Metadata keys beginning with `_` are reserved for platform use and omitted from span and trace read responses. Reference: https://www.respan.ai/docs/apis/traces/list-traces ## Authentication - `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Use your Respan API key for Respan API authentication. Enter only the Respan API key value; clients send Authorization: Bearer \. For /api/responses, provider credentials such as Perplexity, OpenAI, or Azure OpenAI go in Settings -> Providers or respan\_params.credential\_override in the request body, not in this authentication field. - `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Use a dashboard JWT only for dashboard-authenticated endpoints. Respan API-key endpoints use the respanApiKey auth field instead. ## Request ### Query parameters - `page` (integer, optional, default: 1) — Page number. - `page_size` (integer, optional, default: 50) — Results per page (max 1000). - `sort_by` (string, optional, default: -timestamp) — Field to sort by. Prefix `-` for descending. Common values include `-timestamp`, `-total_cost`, `-duration`, `-total_tokens`, and `-error_count`. - `start_time` (datetime, optional) — Start of time range (ISO 8601). Defaults to one hour before `end_time` when omitted. - `end_time` (datetime, optional) — End of time range (ISO 8601). Defaults to now when omitted. - `environment` (string, optional) — Filter by environment. ### Body (application/json) This endpoint expects an object. - `filters` (Filters, optional) — Each key is a field to filter on, and each value is a condition: `{"": {"operator": "", "value": [...]}}`. A trace must match every condition. To set two conditions on one field, such as a range, pass a list of conditions. **Operators:** `""` (equals, the default), `not`, `in`, `not_in`, `lt`, `lte`, `gt`, `gte`, `contains`, `not_contains`, `icontains` (ignores case), `startswith`, `not_startswith`, `endswith`, `not_endswith`, `empty`, `not_empty`. Put values in a list: `""` and `in` match any of the listed values, and `not` and `not_in` match none of them. Other operators take one value; for `empty` and `not_empty`, send `[""]`. **Fields:** * Trace: `trace_unique_id`, `name` (the workflow name), `customer_identifier`, `environment`, `organization_key_id`, `trace_group_identifier`, `session_identifier`, `root_span_unique_id`, `span_count`, `llm_call_count`, `error_count`, `total_cost`, `total_prompt_tokens`, `total_completion_tokens`, `total_request_tokens`, `duration` (seconds), and `metadata__` (values are strings). * Span fields, which match a trace when any of its spans matches: `span_unique_id`, `span_name`, `span_workflow_name`, `span_parent_id`, `model`, `provider_id`, `deployment_name`, `prompt_id`, `prompt_name`, `prompt_version_number`, `log_type`, `log_method`, `status`, `status_code`, `error_class`, `error_fingerprint`, `cost`, `latency`, `time_to_first_token`, `tokens_per_second`, `routing_time`, `prompt_tokens`, `completion_tokens`, `prompt_cache_hit_tokens`, `prompt_cache_creation_tokens`. Unsupported fields, such as `total_tokens`, return a 400 error. **Example:** ```json { "total_cost": {"operator": "gte", "value": [0.05]}, "model": {"operator": "", "value": ["gpt-5.5"]} } ``` ## Response ### 200 Paginated list of traces. - `count` (integer, required) — Number of results on this page, not the total. Request pages until `next` is null to get every result. - `results` (list of ApiTracesListPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaResultsItems, required) — Current page of traces. - `next` (string, optional, nullable) — URL for the next page of results. - `previous` (string, optional, nullable) — URL for the previous page of results. ## Errors ### 400 Bad Request Error Bad Request - `error` (string, optional) ### 403 Forbidden Error The API key is missing, invalid or expired. - `detail` (string, required) ### 413 Content Too Large Error The query exceeded the service's memory or execution-time limit. Narrow the time range or add filters before retrying. - `detail` (string, required) ### 429 Too Many Requests Error Rate Limited - `error` (string, optional) ### 500 Internal Server Error Internal Server Error - `error` (string, optional) ## Types ### Filters Each key is a field to filter on, and each value is a condition: `{"": {"operator": "", "value": [...]}}`. A result must match every condition. To set two conditions on one field, such as a range, pass a list of conditions. **Operators:** `""` (equals, the default), `not`, `in`, `not_in`, `lt`, `lte`, `gt`, `gte`, `contains`, `not_contains`, `icontains` (ignores case), `startswith`, `not_startswith`, `endswith`, `not_endswith`, `empty`, `not_empty`. Put values in a list: `""` and `in` match any of the listed values, and `not` and `not_in` match none of them. Other operators take one value; for `empty` and `not_empty`, send `[""]`. The fields you can filter on depend on the endpoint; `metadata__` filters custom metadata where the endpoint supports it. - `status` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `status_code` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `unique_id` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `customer_identifier` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `thread_identifier` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `custom_identifier` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `group_identifier` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `prompt_id` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `trace_unique_id` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `span_parent_id` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `is_root_span` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `span_workflow_name` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `span_name` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `model` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `log_type` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `stream` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `has_tool_calls` (FilterValue, optional) — Whether the span made tool calls. - `cache_bit` (FilterValue, optional) — Whether the response was served from the Respan cache. - `cache_key` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `prompt_tokens` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `completion_tokens` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `total_tokens` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `cost` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `latency` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. - `positive_feedback` (FilterValue, optional) — A filter condition with an operator and value. ### ApiTracesListPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaResultsItems - `id` (string, optional) — Trace identifier. - `trace_unique_id` (string, optional) — Unique trace identifier. - `root_span_unique_id` (string, optional) — Root span ID for the trace. - `unique_organization_id` (string, optional) — Organization unique ID. - `organization_id` (string, optional) — Alias of `unique_organization_id`. - `organization_name` (string, optional) — Organization name when available. - `organization_key_id` (string, optional) — API key identifier used to create the trace. - `environment` (string, optional) — Environment for the trace. - `customer_identifier` (string, optional) — Customer or user identifier. - `start_time` (datetime, optional) — When the trace started. - `end_time` (datetime, optional) — When the trace ended. - `duration` (double, optional) — Total duration in seconds. - `span_count` (integer, optional) — Total spans in the trace. - `llm_call_count` (integer, optional) — Number of LLM-call spans. - `total_cost` (double, optional) — Total cost in USD. - `total_prompt_tokens` (integer, optional) — Sum of prompt tokens. - `total_completion_tokens` (integer, optional) — Sum of completion tokens. - `total_tokens` (integer, optional) — Sum of all tokens. - `error_count` (integer, optional) — Number of error spans. - `name` (string, optional) — Root span name. - `input` (string, optional) — Root span input.
