Node SDK
This guide documents all the functionality available in the Deepgram Node.js SDK, and explains in detail how the library works. All the official Deepgram SDKs are open source. To learn more about this SDK specifically, visit the Node.js SDK repository on GitHub.
Pre-requisites
Before using the Node.js SDK, you'll need to do a few things.
Create a Deepgram Account
Before you can use Deepgram products, you'll need to create a Deepgram account. Signup is free and includes:
- $150 in credit, which gives you access to:
- all base models
- pre-recorded and streaming functionality
- all features
Create a Deepgram API Key
To access Deepgram’s API, you'll need to create a Deepgram API Key. Make note of your API Key; you will need it later.
Installation
You can install the Deepgram Node.js SDK as a dependency in your application using NPM or yarn. Here's how:
With NPM
npm install @deepgram/sdk
With Yarn
yarn add @deepgram/sdk
Next you should import the Deepgram client in your application code:
const { Deepgram } = require('@deepgram/sdk')
Initialization
Once the SDK is installed and imported, you'll want to create a single instance of the Deepgram client. You should specify your API key here so that your application will be authorized to connect to Deepgram.
const deepgram = new Deepgram(DEEPGRAM_API_KEY)
With the Deepgram client initialized, you can now send requests to the Deepgram API to transcribe audio, manage projects & keys, and retrieve usage information.
