API Documentation

This SDK implementation the API documentation found at https://developers.deepgram.com.

Getting an API Key

🔑 To access the Deepgram API you will need a free Deepgram API Key.

Installation

To incorporate this SDK into your project's go.mod file, run the following command from your repo:

go get github.com/deepgram/deepgram-go-sdk

Requirements

Go (version ^1.18)

Quickstarts

This SDK aims to reduce complexity and abtract/hide some internal Deepgram details that clients shouldn't need to know about. However you can still tweak options and settings if you need.

PreRecorded Audio Transcription Quickstart

You can find a walkthrough on our documentation site. Transcribing Pre-Recorded Audio can be done using the following sample code:

// context
ctx := context.Background()

//client
c := client.NewWithDefaults()
dg := prerecorded.New(c)

// transcription options
options := PreRecordedTranscriptionOptions{
	Punctuate:  true,
	Diarize:    true,
	Language:   "en-US",
}	

// send URL
URL := "https://my-domain.com/files/my-conversation.mp3"
res, err := dg.FromURL(ctx, URL, options)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalf("FromURL failed. Err: %v\n", err)
}

Live Audio Transcription Quickstart

You can find a walkthrough on our documentation site. Transcribing Live Audio can be done using the following sample code:

// options
transcriptOptions := interfaces.LiveTranscriptionOptions{
	Language:    "en-US",
	Punctuate:   true,
	Encoding:    "linear16",
	Channels:    1,
	Sample_rate: 16000,
}

// create a callback for transcription messages
// for example, you can take a look at this example project:
// https://github.com/deepgram/deepgram-go-sdk/blob/main/examples/streaming/microphone/main.go

// create the client
dgClient, err := client.NewWithDefaults(ctx, transcriptOptions, callback)
if err != nil {
	log.Println("ERROR creating LiveTranscription connection:", err)
	return
}

// call connect!
wsconn := dgClient.Connect()
if wsconn == nil {
	log.Println("Client.Connect failed")
	os.Exit(1)
}

SDK Documentation

We are doing our best to transform the documentation to use native GoDocs which is done in code. This is ideal because:

• The documentation is extracted directly from the code in this repository
• This encourages the documentation in code to be updated and be correct
• Most importantly: This provides a single source of truth. This should be the definative source of documentation for this SDK

We encourage you to view our documentation using https://go.dev. The landing page for the SDK documentation can be found here:

Examples

There are examples for every API call in this SDK. You can find all of these examples in the examples folder at the root of this repo.

These examples provide:

• Speech-to-Text: PreRecorded Audio:

  • From an Audio File - examples/prerecorded/file
  • From an URL - examples/prerecorded/url
  • From an Audio Stream - examples/prerecorded/stream

• Speech-to-Text: Live Audio:

  • From a Microphone - examples/streaming/microphone
  • From an HTTP Endpoint - examples/streaming/http

• Text-to-Speech

  • Save audio to a Path - examples/speak/save
  • Save audio to a user-defined Writer - examples/speak/file
  • Save audio to a Stream/Buffer - examples/speak/stream

• Management API exercise the full CRUD operations for:

  • Balances - examples/manage/balances
  • Invitations - examples/manage/invitations
  • Keys - examples/manage/keys
  • Members - examples/manage/members
  • Projects - examples/manage/projects
  • Scopes - examples/manage/scopes
  • Usage - examples/manage/usage

To run each example set the DEEPGRAM_API_KEY as an environment variable, then cd into each example folder and execute the example: go run main.go.
