# Generations - Python SDK

The Python SDK and docs are currently in beta.
Report issues on [GitHub](https://github.com/OpenRouterTeam/python-sdk/issues).

## Overview

Generation history endpoints

### Available Operations

* [get\_generation](#get_generation) - Get request & usage metadata for a generation
* [list\_generation\_content](#list_generation_content) - Get stored prompt and completion content for a generation

## get\_generation

Get request & usage metadata for a generation

### Example Usage

```python
from openrouter import OpenRouter
import os

with OpenRouter(
    http_referer="<value>",
    x_open_router_title="<value>",
    x_open_router_categories="<value>",
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENROUTER_API_KEY", ""),
) as open_router:

    res = open_router.generations.get_generation(id="gen-1234567890")

    # Handle response
    print(res)

```
