Configuration

The Deepgram .NET SDK provides three ways to configure the Deepgram client:

• Via the DeepgramClient constructor
• Via an appsettings.json or settings.json file
• Via a Configuration instance

Below are examples of how to do each.

DeepgramClient Constructor

The DeepgramClient constructor allows you to provide a Deepgram API key and optional custom API url.

var credentials = new Credentials(YOUR_DEEPGRAM_API_KEY);
var deepgram = new DeepgramClient(credentials);

Settings Files

If a Credentials object is not provided in the DeepgramClient constructor, the client will look for parameters within an appsettings.json or settings.json file.

{
  "appSettings": {
    "Deepgram.Api.Key": "YOUR_DEEPGRAM_API_KEY",
    "Deepgram.Api.Uri": "https://api.deepgram.com"
  }
}

ℹ️

Order of Precedence in Settings Files

In the event multiple configuration files are found, the order of precedence is
as follows:

• appsettings.json
• settings.json

Configuration Instance

If you have an existing Configuration instance, you can provide your settings to it directly.

Configuration.Instance.Settings["appSettings:Deepgram.Api.Key"] = "YOUR_DEEPGRAM_API_KEY";
Configuration.Instance.Settings["appSettings:Deepgram.Api.Uri"] = "https://api.deepgram.com";
