Ingesting Data · Instrumenting Your Application · LLM Observability with Langfuse
Note: We recommend using our fully async, typed SDKs that allow you to instrument any LLM application with any underlying model. They are available in Python (Decorators) & JS/TS. The SDKs will always be the most fully featured and stable way to ingest data into Langfuse.
See the → Quickstart to integrate Langfuse.

GET API to export your data
GET routes to use data in downstream applications (e.g. embedded analytics). You can also access them conveniently via the SDKs (docs).
We take data security and privacy seriously. Please refer to our Security and Privacy page for more information.
By default, Langfuse automatically reports basic usage statistics of self-hosted instances to a centralized server (PostHog).
This helps us to:
- Understand how Langfuse is used and improve the most relevant features.
- Track overall usage for internal and external (e.g. fundraising) reporting.
None of the data is shared with third parties and does not include any sensitive information. We want to be super transparent about this and you can find the exact data we collect here.
