Signature
Returns the underlying OpenTelemetry Tracer instance for creating spans manually when decorators are not sufficient.
Example
from respan_tracing import RespanTelemetry, get_client
telemetry = RespanTelemetry(api_key="your-api-key")
client = get_client()
tracer = client.get_tracer()
with tracer.start_as_current_span("custom_operation") as span:
span.set_attribute("custom.key", "value")
# Your logic here
result = 42
span.set_attribute("custom.result", result)
Manual spans are exported through the same processor pipeline as decorator-created spans. Prefer decorators for standard use cases and use get_tracer() only when you need fine-grained control over span lifecycle.
