  title: Arize AX OTLP Ingestion Traces API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: Best-effort OpenAPI for the Arize AX OpenTelemetry (OTLP/HTTP) ingestion endpoint.
  description: 'Arize AX is built on the OpenInference OpenTelemetry conventions and accepts

    traces over the OTLP/HTTP protocol. This spec covers the OTLP/HTTP trace

    ingestion endpoint. The native GRPC OTLP endpoint

    (https://otlp.arize.com/v1) is not modeled here because OpenAPI cannot

    describe GRPC. Arize AX also exposes a GraphQL API (Admin, Annotations,

    Custom Metrics, Dashboards, Models, Monitors, etc.) and a REST API, each

    documented at https://arize.com/docs/ax.


    Authentication is performed via the space_id and api_key headers, both

    obtained from the Arize AX Settings page. An EU regional endpoint is also

    available via Endpoint.ARIZE_EUROPE in the arize-otel SDK.


    This is a best-effort spec derived from public docs and the arize-otel SDK.

        header carrying the same key) to authenticate.
