This package lets you start Vapi calls directly in your Python application.
You can install the package via pip:
pip install vapi_python
On Mac, you might need to install brew install portaudio
to satisfy pyaudio
's dependency requirement.
First, import the Vapi class from the package:
from vapi_python import Vapi
Then, create a new instance of the Vapi class, passing your Public Key as a parameter to the constructor:
vapi = Vapi(api_key='your-public-key')
You can start a new call by calling the start
method and passing an assistant
object or assistantId
. You can find the available options here: docs.vapi.ai
vapi.start(assistant_id='your-assistant-id')
or
assistant = {
'firstMessage': 'Hey, how are you?',
'context': 'You are an employee at a drive thru...',
'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
'voice': 'jennifer-playht',
"recordingEnabled": True,
"interruptionsEnabled": False
}
vapi.start(assistant=assistant)
The start
method will initiate a new call.
You can override existing assistant parameters or set variables with the assistant_overrides
parameter.
Assume the first message is Hey, {{name}} how are you?
and you want to set the value of name
to John
:
assistant_overrides = {
"recordingEnabled": False,
"variableValues": {
"name": "John"
}
}
vapi.start(assistant_id='your-assistant-id', assistant_overrides=assistant_overrides)
You can stop the session by calling the stop
method:
vapi.stop()
This will stop the recording and close the connection.
