This integration is for the Respan gateway.

​
What is BAML?

BAML is a domain-specific language for building reliable LLM functions with structured outputs. Route BAML LLM calls through the Respan gateway by updating your BAML client configuration.

​
Quickstart

​
Step 1: Install BAML

pip install baml-py

​
Step 2: Set environment variables

export RESPAN_API_KEY="YOUR_RESPAN_API_KEY"

​
Step 3: Update your BAML client configuration

Point your BAML client to the Respan gateway in clients.baml: 
// clients.baml
client<llm> OpenAIGateway {
  provider openai
  options {
    model "gpt-4o-mini"
    api_key env.RESPAN_API_KEY
    base_url "https://api.respan.ai/api"
  }
}
Register this client in your BAML config to route calls through the Respan gateway.

​
Step 4: Verify

Open the Logs page to see your gateway requests.

​
Attributes

Pass Respan attributes as headers in your BAML client configuration: 
X-Respan-Customer-Identifier: user-123
