Quick Start

Step 1: Add User ID

There are two ways to specify users in your requests:

Option 1: Using OpenAI API

The OpenAI API has an optional user parameter, where you can specify an end-user to help OpenAI to monitor and detect abuse. Learn more here.

Option 2: Sending the User ID via Helicone

Alternatively, you can send a prompt with the header Helicone-User-Id to include the user ID. The value must be a string, for example, use an email or the user ID.

Step 2: View Detailed Metrics

Once set up correctly, you will be able to see detailed user metrics under the Users tab.

See overview, usage and detailed logs for a specific user.
