This guide will walk you through integrating Latitude into your development workflow using our TypeScript SDK.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Latitude account (Sign up at latitude.so or use your self-hosted instance)
  • Access to at least one AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
  • Node.js (v16+) installed on your machine

​
1. Install and Initialize the SDK

# Install via npm
npm install @latitude-data/sdk

# Or via yarn
yarn add @latitude-data/sdk

# Or via pnpm
pnpm add @latitude-data/sdk
Initialize the SDK in your code: 
import { Latitude } from '@latitude-data/sdk'

const latitude = new Latitude('your_api_key')
// For self-hosted instances, specify options:
// const latitude = new Latitude('your_api_key', {
//   projectId: 123,
//   // Other options...
// })

​
2. Get or create a Prompt

const prompt = await latitude.prompts.getOrCreate('/path/to/new/prompt', {
  prompt: {
    name: 'Customer Support Assistant',
    content: `
    ---
    provider: Latitude
    model: gpt-4o
    ---
    You are a helpful customer support assistant for a software company.
    
    Customer query: {{query}}
    Product: {{product}}
    
    Provide a helpful, friendly response that addresses the customer's question.
    Include relevant product details when necessary.`,
    provider: 'openai',
    // Other prompt properties as needed
  },
})

​
3. Fetch a Prompt

const prompt = await latitude.prompts.get('/path/to/your/prompt')

​
4. Run a Prompt

const response = await latitude.prompts.run('/path/to/your/prompt', {
  parameters: {
    query: 'How do I reset my password?',
    product: 'CloudManager Pro',
  },
})

​
5. Use Streaming Results and Logging

​
Handling Streaming Responses

const stream = await latitude.prompts.run('/path/to/your/prompt', {
  parameters: {
    query: 'How do I integrate your API?',
    product: 'Latitude SDK',
  },
  stream: true,
})

for await (const chunk of stream) {
  // Process text chunks
  if (chunk.type === 'text-delta' && chunk.content) {
    process.stdout.write(chunk.content)
  }
}

​
Adding Custom Metadata for Logging

const response = await latitude.prompts.run('/path/to/your/prompt', {
  parameters: {
    query: "What's new in version 2.0?",
    product: 'CloudManager Pro',
  },
  customIdentifier: 'user_query_123',
  onFinished: (data) => {
    console.log(`Run complete: ${data.uuid}`)
  },
})

​
6. Trigger Evaluations Programmatically

const evaluation = await latitude.evaluations.trigger('conversation_uuid', {
  evaluationUuids: ['evaluation_uuid_1', 'evaluation_uuid_2'],
})

Now that you’ve integrated Latitude into your code, you can:
