Llama JavaScript SDK

Use the OpenAI JavaScript SDK to integrate with Llama via Helicone to log your Llama usage.

This integration method is maintained but no longer actively developed. For the best experience and latest features, use our new AI Gateway with unified API access to 100+ models.

1. Create an account and generate an API key

   Log into Helicone or create an account. Once you have an account, you can generate an API key here.
2. Set up your Helicone API key in your .env file

   HELICONE_API_KEY=<your-helicone-api-key>
   LLAMA_API_KEY=<your-llama-api-key>
   

3. Modify the base URL path and set up authentication

   Llama SDK

   import LlamaAPIClient from 'llama-api-client';
   
   const client = new LlamaAPIClient({
     apiKey: process.env.LLAMA_API_KEY,
     baseURL: "https://llama.helicone.ai/v1",
     defaultHeaders: {
       "Helicone-Auth": `Bearer ${process.env.HELICONE_API_KEY}`
     }
   });
   
   const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
     model: 'Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct-FP8',
     messages: [
       {
         role: 'user', 
         content: 'Hello, how are you?' 
       }
     ],
     max_completion_tokens: 1024,
     temperature: 0.7,
   });
   
   console.log(response);
   

4. Verify your requests in Helicone

   With the above setup, any calls to Llama will automatically be logged and monitored by Helicone. Review them in your Helicone dashboard.
