Hello, I am trying to run const vapi = new Vapi("your-public-key"); However, I get an error that Vapi is not a constructor. Has anyone run into this issue?

@NickVapi Hello! It sounds like there might be an issue with how the Vapi class is being imported or with the package installation itself. Let's try to troubleshoot this step by step: 1. Please ensure that the

@vapi-ai/web

package is correctly installed in your project. You can check if the package is in your

node_modules

directory or by running

yarn list @vapi-ai/web

or

npm list @vapi-ai/web

. 2. Verify that you are importing the Vapi class correctly at the top of your file. The import statement should look like this:

javascript
   import Vapi from "@vapi-ai/web";

3. Ensure that there are no typos in your import statement and that the case of the letters matches exactly, as JavaScript imports are case-sensitive. 4. If you're using a module bundler or a build tool like Webpack, Babel, or TypeScript, make sure that it's configured correctly to handle ES6 imports. 5. If you're working in an environment that doesn't support ES6 imports, you might need to use the

require

syntax instead:

javascript
   const Vapi = require("@vapi-ai/web").default;

If you've checked all of the above and the issue persists, please provide more details about the error message you're receiving, and I'll be happy to help you further.

Dear Vapi Support Bot, thank you, I got to the next step, but there is a subsequent error: const Vapi = require("@vapi-ai/web").default; const vapi = new Vapi("API Key Here"); vapi.start('Asisstant ID Here'); the error I get now is: ReferenceError: window is not defined at new oe (...\Desktop\node_modules\@daily-co\daily-js\dist\daily.js:1:115760) at Function.value (..\Desktop\node_modules\@daily-co\daily-js\dist\daily.js:1:190380) at Vapi.start (C..\Desktop\node_modules\@vapi-ai\web\dist\vapi.js:110:44) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) node:internal/process/promises:391 triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */); ^ ReferenceError: window is not defined at new oe (..\Desktop\node_modules\@daily-co\daily-js\dist\daily.js:1:115760) at Function.value (\Desktop\node_modules\@daily-co\daily-js\dist\daily.js:1:190380) at Vapi.start (\Desktop\node_modules\@vapi-ai\web\dist\vapi.js:110:44) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) Emitted 'error' event on Vapi instance at: at Vapi.emit (..\Desktop\node_modules\@vapi-ai\web\dist\vapi.js:48:22) at Vapi.start (..\Desktop\node_modules\@vapi-ai\web\dist\vapi.js:217:18) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) Node.js v20.18.0

You're trying to use the client side sdk instead of the server side, please try this out https://github.com/VapiAI/server-sdk-typescript

thanks bryant, I am trying to interact with Vapi through a web app rather than a phone call, does the server sdk work for that? For example, in the python one, I am just seeing the ability to place a call

Hm, it seems the server SDK is also only exposing the phone call endpoint. Let me ask the team whether this is intended behavior. In the meantime, an API call using fetch() should work fine

thanks bryant, client.calls.create(assistant_id= "",) is what I am seeing, is there a fetch example I can see how to write it out? https://github.com/VapiAI/server-sdk-python/blob/main/reference.md

something like this should work:

await fetch(`https://api.vapi.ai/call/web`, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          Authorization: `Bearer       
${YOUR_API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
        body: JSON.stringify({
          assistantId: <your assistant id>
        }),
      });

thanks bryant and Vapi Support Bot, I tried this import requests import json url = "https://api.vapi.ai/call/web" headers = { 'Authorization': f'Bearer {YOUR_API_KEY}', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', } data = { 'assistantId': AssistantID, # Replace with the correct assistantId } response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data)) if response.status_code == 200: print('Success:', response.json()) # Print the response JSON else: print(f'Failed: {response.status_code} - {response.text}') # Print error details Failed: 201 - {"id":"","orgId":"f","createdAt":"2024-12-01T07:09:32.003Z","updatedAt":"2024-12-01T07:09:32.003Z","type":"webCall","monitor":{"listenUrl":"wss://phone-call-websocket.aws-us-west-2-backend-production3.vapi.ai/../listen","controlUrl":"https://phone-call-websocket.aws-us-west-2-backend-production3.vapi.ai/../control"},"transport":{"assistantVideoEnabled":false},"webCallUrl":"https://vapi.daily.co/..","status":"queued","assistantId":".."} , I was hoping that when I ran the code, I could start chatting with the agent like with the web interface on the dashboard. I get a link to a web url, there I am able to enter and then the meeting closes quite quickly. Also, the status is qued

Hey @NickVapi can you join Vapi Live Tech Support Disocrd OH, we will resolve your ticket there.

thanks Shubham, is there a ink to the Live Tech Support Discord OH? I am not seeing it on the channels

@NickVapi yeah the discord is bugging, don't why events are disappearing.

thanks Shubham, it turns out my colleague was able to get vapi running with code such as the following on Mac: from vapi_python import Vapi vapi = Vapi(api_key='') vapi.start(assistant_id=AssistantID). However, when I pip install vapi_python in anaconda prompt (Windows 11 Home), the folder is empty, and alternatively I run into issues with daily-python pip install, no matching distribution found. (Python 3.12.6)

@NickVapi sadly it's related to window packet management, you can try using window sub system for linux.

thanks issue resolved for this Shubham
