Instructions
# Deepgram Install & Auth
## Overview
Set up Deepgram SDK and configure authentication credentials for speech-to-text services.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+
- Package manager (npm, pnpm, or pip)
- Deepgram account with API access
- API key from Deepgram Console (https://console.deepgram.com)
## Instructions
### Step 1: Install SDK
```bash
# Node.js
npm install @deepgram/sdk
# Python
pip install deepgram-sdk
```
### Step 2: Configure Authentication
```bash
# Set environment variable
export DEEPGRAM_API_KEY="your-api-key"
# Or create .env file
echo 'DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your-api-key' >> .env
```
### Step 3: Verify Connection
```typescript
import { createClient } from '@deepgram/sdk';
const deepgram = createClient(process.env.DEEPGRAM_API_KEY);
const { result, error } = await deepgram.manage.getProjects();
console.log(error ? 'Failed' : 'Connected successfully');
```
## Output
- Installed SDK package in node_modules or site-packages
- Environment variable or .env file with API key
- Successful connection verification output
## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Invalid API Key | Incorrect or expired key | Verify key in Deepgram Console |
| 401 Unauthorized | API key not set | Check environment variable is exported |
| Network Error | Firewall blocking | Ensure outbound HTTPS to api.deepgram.com |
| Module Not Found | Installation failed | Run `npm install` or `pip install` again |
## Examples
### TypeScript Setup
```typescript
import { createClient } from '@deepgram/sdk';
const deepgram = createClient(process.env.DEEPGRAM_API_KEY);
// Verify connection
async function verifyConnection() {
const { result, error } = await deepgram.manage.getProjects();
if (error) throw error;
console.log('Projects:', result.projects);
}
```
### Python Setup
```python
from deepgram import DeepgramClient
import os
deepgram = DeepgramClient(os.environ.get('DEEPGRAM_API_KEY'))
# Verify connection
response = deepgram.manage.get_projects()
print(f"Projects: {response.projects}")
```
