Go - Automatic Tracking

Automatic tracking uses wrapper classes that handle token counting and tracking for you.

Frictionless Onboarding

Use client.CreateOrGetCustomer() to automatically sync your users with Paygent. You can call this right before tracking usage to ensure the customer exists without manual setup.

📖 Real-World Scenario

You're building a chatbot and making dozens of OpenAI API calls. Manually extracting usage data and calling sendUsage() for each one is tedious and error-prone. You just want the tracking to happen automatically.

💡 Solution

Use Paygent's automatic wrappers. Just wrap your API client and add 3 tracking parameters:

automatic_openai.go

1package main
2
3import (
4    "context"
5    "os"
6    
7    paygent "github.com/paygent-org/paygent-sdk-go"
8    "github.com/paygent-org/paygent-sdk-go/integrations"
9    "github.com/sashabaranov/go-openai"
10)
11
12func main() {
13    // Initialize Paygent client
14    paygentClient := paygent.NewClient(os.Getenv("PAYGENT_API_KEY"))
15    
16    // Initialize OpenAI client
17    openaiClient := openai.NewClient(os.Getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
18    
19    // Create PaygentOpenAI wrapper for automatic tracking
20    paygentOpenAI := integrations.NewPaygentOpenAI(openaiClient, paygentClient)
21    
22    // Make OpenAI call with automatic tracking
23    // Just add 3 tracking parameters to your request!
24    params := integrations.ChatCompletionParams{
25        Indicator:          "message-sent",
26        ExternalAgentID:    "chatbot-agent",
27        ExternalCustomerID: "customer-123",
28        
29        Model: "gpt-4o",
30        Messages: []openai.ChatCompletionMessage{
31            {Role: "user", Content: "Hello!"},
32        },
33    }
34    
35    resp, _ := paygentOpenAI.CreateChatCompletion(context.Background(), params)
36    
37    // Usage automatically tracked! No manual code needed!
38}

✅ Result

Zero manual tracking code. Every OpenAI call is automatically tracked with accurate token counts and costs. 60% less code!
