v
@TimeDrift I'm here to help! Could you please provide me with the specific error message you're seeing when you attempt to send out the test call? Additionally, if you could share the unique identifier (id) for the call and the unique identifier for your organization (orgId), that would be very helpful in diagnosing the issue.
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

This is the error I have when I use a public key Error Failed to initiate call: Forbidden - {"message":"Invalid Key. Hot tip, you may be using the private key instead of the public key, or vice versa.","error":"Forbidden","statusCode":403} This is the error I have when I use a private key Error Failed to initiate call: Bad Request - {"message":["property transcriber should not exist","property model should not exist","property voice should not exist","phoneNumber must be an object","nested property phoneNumber must be either object or array"],"error":"Bad Request","statusCode":400}
@Vapi
v
@TimeDrift Thank you for providing the error messages. It seems there are two separate issues here: 1. When using a public key: - The error message indicates that there might be a mix-up with the keys. Please ensure that you are using the correct public key provided by the service. Public keys are generally used to identify your account without granting full access, which is reserved for private keys. 2. When using a private key: - The error message suggests there are several issues with the request payload: - Properties
transcriber
,
model
, and
voice
should not be included if they are not supported by the API or if they are not required for the test call. - The
phoneNumber
must be an object, which means it should be structured correctly in the request payload. - If
phoneNumber
is nested, it must be formatted as either an object or an array, as per the API requirements. To resolve these issues, please double-check the API documentation to ensure that you are using the correct key and that your request payload is structured correctly according to the API's specifications. If you need further assistance with correcting the request payload or ensuring you're using the correct keys, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help!
t
What URLS should I check fro the api documentation @Vapi ?
v
@TimeDrift Please ask support for more info on this.
t
What is the correct payload requestu @Vapi
v
@TimeDrift To provide you with the correct payload request structure, I would need to know the specific API you are working with and the parameters it requires for initiating a test call. However, based on the errors you've encountered, a generic payload structure might look something like this:
Copy code
json
{
  "publicKey": "your_public_key_here",
  "template": "your_outbound_template_here",
  "phoneNumber": {
    "number": "test_number_here",
    "countryCode": "test_country_code_here"
  },
  // Include any other required fields as per the API documentation
}
Please replace
your_public_key_here
,
your_outbound_template_here
,
test_number_here
, and
test_country_code_here
with the actual values you need to use. Remember, this is just a generic example. The actual payload structure may vary depending on the API's requirements. You should consult the API documentation for the exact payload structure needed for your test call. If you can provide me with the name of the API or any additional context, I can offer more precise guidance.

New erroe @Vapi Error assistant.property systemPrompt should not exist, phoneNumber.property to should not exist, phoneNumber.property countryCode should not exist, phoneNumber.twilioPhoneNumber must be a valid phone number in the E.164 format. Hot tip, you may be missing the country code (Eg. US: +1). phoneNumber.twilioAccountSid must be a string, phoneNumber.twilioAuthToken must be a string
v
@TimeDrift Based on the new error message you've received, it appears there are some issues with the properties in your payload. Here's a corrected version of the payload based on the error message:
Copy code
json
{
  "phoneNumber": {
    "twilioPhoneNumber": "+1XXXXXXXXXX", // Replace with a valid E.164 formatted phone number
    "twilioAccountSid": "your_twilio_account_sid_here", // Replace with your Twilio Account SID
    "twilioAuthToken": "your_twilio_auth_token_here" // Replace with your Twilio Auth Token
  },
  // Include any other required fields as per the API documentation
}
Please ensure the following: - Remove the
systemPrompt
,
to
, and
countryCode
properties as they should not exist in the payload. - The
twilioPhoneNumber
must be a valid phone number in E.164 format, which includes the country code (e.g., +1 for US numbers). - The
twilioAccountSid
and
twilioAuthToken
must be strings and should be your valid Twilio credentials. Make sure to replace the placeholders with your actual Twilio phone number, account SID, and auth token. If you continue to experience issues, please refer to the API documentation for the correct payload structure or reach out to the API support team for further assistance.
t
can I use VAPI's phone # instead @Vapi ?
v
@TimeDrift Yes, you can use a phone number provided by VAPI for your test calls. If you have already purchased or provisioned a phone number through VAPI, you can use that number in your payload. Ensure that the number is in E.164 format, which includes the country code. Here's how you might structure your payload using VAPI's phone number:
Copy code
json
{
  "phoneNumber": {
    "twilioPhoneNumber": "+1XXXXXXXXXX" // Replace with your VAPI-provided E.164 formatted phone number
    // Include any other Twilio credentials if required
  },
  // Include any other required fields as per the API documentation
}
Replace
+1XXXXXXXXXX
with the actual VAPI-provided phone number you have. If you need to purchase or provision a number through VAPI, please follow the appropriate steps in your VAPI account or refer to the VAPI documentation on how to do so. If you need further assistance with using a VAPI phone number or have any other questions, feel free to ask!
t
So it seems I need to buy a twillio # @Vapi what is the code to do that?
v
@TimeDrift To purchase a Twilio phone number, you would typically use the Twilio REST API or the Twilio Console. However, I cannot execute code or API calls directly. You would need to write a script using Twilio's helper libraries in your preferred programming language or use the Twilio Console manually. Here's an example of how you might purchase a phone number using Twilio's Node.js library:
Copy code
javascript
const twilio = require('twilio');

const twilioAccountSid = 'your_twilio_account_sid_here';
const twilioAuthToken = 'your_twilio_auth_token_here';
const client = new twilio(twilioAccountSid, twilioAuthToken);

client.availablePhoneNumbers('US')
      .local
      .list({areaCode: 415, limit: 1})
      .then(availablePhoneNumbers => {
        const phoneNumber = availablePhoneNumbers[0].phoneNumber;
        return client.incomingPhoneNumbers
                     .create({phoneNumber: phoneNumber});
      })
      .then(purchasedNumber => console.log(purchasedNumber.sid))
      .catch(error => console.error(error));
Make sure to replace
'your_twilio_account_sid_here'
and
'your_twilio_auth_token_here'
with your actual Twilio Account SID and Auth Token. This script searches for available phone numbers in the US with an area code of 415 and purchases the first one it finds. If you prefer to use the Twilio Console: 1. Log in to your Twilio account. 2. Navigate to the "Phone Numbers" section. 3. Click on "Buy a Number" to search for available numbers. 4. Choose the number you want and follow the prompts to purchase it. Remember to check the Twilio documentation for the most up-to-date instructions and API usage details. If you need further assistance, please reach out to Twilio support or refer to the Twilio documentation.
t
If I use a VAPI #... isn't that better since I don't need a2p and can use it immediately?
@Vapi
v
@TimeDrift Using a VAPI-provided number can indeed be advantageous, especially if it allows you to bypass certain setup requirements and use it immediately for your application. If VAPI numbers support the features you need without the additional setup that third-party services like Twilio require, it could streamline your development process and allow you to test and deploy your features more quickly. If you decide to use a VAPI number, make sure to update your payload accordingly and ensure that the number is formatted correctly as per the API's requirements. If you have any questions about obtaining or using a VAPI number, or if you need further clarification on how to integrate it into your application, please let me know, and I'll be happy to assist you!
t
@Vapi can you send me: 1 - The new payload 2 - The coade Iwould need to buy a VAPI # 3 - I want to have the option to integrate twillio and/or buy a vapi #
v
@TimeDrift Certainly! Here's the information you requested: 1. New Payload: Assuming you're using a VAPI number and have the necessary credentials, your payload might look something like this:
Copy code
json
   {
     "phoneNumber": {
       "vapiPhoneNumber": "+1XXXXXXXXXX" // Replace with your VAPI-provided E.164 formatted phone number
     },
     // Include any other required fields as per the API documentation
   }
Replace
+1XXXXXXXXXX
with the actual VAPI-provided phone number you have. 2. Code to Buy a VAPI Number: I don't have the specific code to purchase a VAPI number as it depends on VAPI's API, which I don't have details for. You would typically follow a process similar to purchasing a Twilio number, but you'll need to refer to VAPI's documentation or support for the exact method. 3. Option to Integrate Twilio and/or Buy a VAPI Number: To keep your options open for using either Twilio or VAPI, you should structure your application to allow for configuration settings that can switch between the two services. This would involve setting up your application logic to handle both scenarios and providing the necessary credentials for each service. For Twilio, you already have the example code to purchase a number. For VAPI, once you have the details on how to purchase a number through their API, you would implement similar logic in your application. Please note that for both Twilio and VAPI, you will need to handle authentication, API calls, and error handling according to each service's requirements. Always refer to the official documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date information. If you need further assistance with integrating these services or have more questions, please let me know!
t
@Vapi I want to buy a Phone # through /phone-numbers/buy` but I want to do it with code through API how do I do that?
v
@TimeDrift To buy a phone number through the
/phone-numbers/buy
endpoint using code, you'll need to make an API request to that endpoint. Below is an example of how you can do this using cURL, which you can run in your command line or terminal:
Copy code
bash
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.vapi.ai/phone-number/buy \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "areaCode": "415",
    "name": "My VAPI Number",
    "assistantId": "your_assistant_id",
    "serverUrl": "https://your-server-url.com"
  }'
Make sure to replace
YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
with your actual VAPI access token,
415
with the desired area code for the phone number,
your_assistant_id
with the assistant ID if required, and
https://your-server-url.com
with your server URL where you want to receive webhooks. If you prefer to use a programming language, here's how you might do it using Python with the
requests
library:
Copy code
python
import requests

url = "https://api.vapi.ai/phone-number/buy"
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
data = {
    "areaCode": "415",
    "name": "My VAPI Number",
    "assistantId": "your_assistant_id",
    "serverUrl": "https://your-server-url.com"
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

print(response.text)
Again, replace the placeholders with your actual data. If you need to use a different programming language, you would follow a similar structure but use the appropriate library or method for making HTTP requests in that language. Please ensure you have the correct permissions and that your account is set up to purchase numbers through the API. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please let me know!
t
I am now getting this erroe @Vapi Error insert or update on table "calls" violates foreign key constraint "calls_agent_id_agents_id_fk"
v
@TimeDrift The error message you're encountering indicates that there is a foreign key constraint violation in your database. This typically occurs when you try to insert or update a record in a table with a foreign key that references a non-existent record in the related table. In this case, the
calls
table has a foreign key constraint named
calls_agent_id_agents_id_fk
, which seems to reference an
agent_id
in the
agents
table. The error suggests that the
agent_id
you're trying to insert or update in the
calls
table does not exist in the
agents
table. To resolve this issue, you should: 1. Check the
agent_id
value you're trying to insert into the
calls
table and ensure it exists in the
agents
table. 2. If the
agent_id
does not exist, you may need to create the corresponding agent record in the
agents
table before you can insert or update the call record. 3. If the
agent_id
is supposed to exist but doesn't, you'll need to investigate why the record is missing and take appropriate action, which could involve data correction or restoration. If you're not sure how to proceed or need further assistance with database operations, please consult with your database administrator or a developer who can help you ensure data integrity and resolve the constraint violation.
t
Thank you for your help so far @Vapi I am almost done! But the voice agent calls and then says "An application error has occurred" and then hangs up. How do I fix that?
v
@TimeDrift I'm glad to hear that you're making progress! The message "An application error has occurred" typically indicates that there is an issue with the application logic on your server that is handling the Twilio webhook requests. When Twilio makes a call, it expects to receive TwiML instructions from your application on how to proceed with the call. If your application encounters an error while generating these instructions, Twilio will play an error message to the caller and then hang up. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue: 1. **Check Application Logs**: Look at the logs of your web application to see if there are any error messages or stack traces that can give you clues about what went wrong. 2. **Validate TwiML Response**: Ensure that your application is returning valid TwiML responses to Twilio's requests. You can use Twilio's TwiML validator or test your TwiML responses in a browser. 3. **Review Webhook URLs**: Make sure that the webhook URLs configured in your Twilio number settings are correct and that they point to the right endpoints in your application. 4. **Error Handling**: Implement robust error handling in your application to catch any exceptions and return a meaningful TwiML response even when an error occurs. 5. **Twilio Debugger**: Use the Twilio Debugger in the Twilio Console to get more information about the error. Twilio logs all errors that occur when interacting with your application. 6. **Test Locally**: If possible, test your application locally using tools like ngrok to expose your local server to the internet and receive Twilio webhook requests. If you're unable to resolve the issue with these steps, please provide more details about your application setup, the code that handles the Twilio webhook requests, and any error messages from your logs. With more information, I can offer more targeted advice to help you resolve the issue.
t
Great I got that fixed @Vapi Now it just calls in and says "this is your voice agent calling, how can I help... thanks for your time, and then hangs up." How can I import in the features to almost mirror the VAPI dashboard/
@Vapi what code do I need to run to pull in or communicate with the sections in VAPI? Example how can I make an agent through API?
v
@TimeDrift To communicate with the sections in VAPI and perform actions such as creating an agent through the API, you will need to use the VAPI's provided endpoints for these specific actions. Typically, this would involve sending HTTP requests to the VAPI's REST API endpoints with the required parameters and authentication tokens. Unfortunately, without specific documentation for VAPI's API, I cannot provide you with exact code. However, I can give you a generic example of how you might create an agent using a REST API with Python and the
requests
library. Here's a hypothetical example:
Copy code
python
import requests

# Replace with your actual VAPI API URL and endpoint for creating an agent
url = "https://api.vapi.ai/agents/create"

# Replace with your actual VAPI access token
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

# Replace with the actual data required by VAPI to create an agent
data = {
    "name": "New Agent Name",
    "email": "agent@example.com",
    "other_required_fields": "other_values"
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

print(response.text)
In this example, you would need to replace
YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
with your actual VAPI access token, and the
data
dictionary should be filled with the actual data fields required by VAPI to create an agent. Please consult the VAPI documentation for the exact endpoints, required parameters, and authentication methods. If VAPI provides an SDK or client library, it would be beneficial to use that as it can simplify the process of making API calls. If you need further assistance or have specific questions about the VAPI API, please reach out to VAPI support or refer to their API documentation for detailed instructions.
t
Do I need to create a voice agent in VAPI to have it work with VAPI API @Vapi
v
@TimeDrift Yes, typically, to work with a Voice API (VAPI), you would need to create a voice agent or a similar entity within the VAPI platform. This voice agent would act as the interface between your application and the VAPI, handling voice interactions, processing commands, and managing the flow of the conversation. Creating a voice agent usually involves defining its capabilities, such as the languages it supports, the voice it uses, and the logic it follows when interacting with users. Once created, the agent can be integrated with your application through the VAPI, allowing you to leverage voice functionality within your app. To create a voice agent in VAPI, you would typically follow these steps: 1. Access the VAPI dashboard or use the provided API endpoints. 2. Provide the necessary information and configurations for your voice agent, such as name, language, voice, and conversation logic. 3. Save or register the agent within the VAPI platform. 4. Obtain any credentials or identifiers required to interact with the agent through the API. 5. Use the provided SDKs or API endpoints to integrate the voice agent into your application. Please refer to the specific documentation provided by VAPI for detailed instructions on creating a voice agent and integrating it with your application. If you need further assistance or have more questions, feel free to ask!
t
What api code should I use to make sure the Agent I create on my platform ties into vapi @Vapi
v
@TimeDrift To ensure that the agent you create on your platform ties into VAPI, you would typically use VAPI's API endpoints to create or link an agent. The exact API code will depend on VAPI's API documentation, which should provide the specific endpoints and the required parameters for creating or linking an agent. Here's a hypothetical example of how you might create or link an agent using a REST API with Python and the
requests
library:
Copy code
python
import requests

# Replace with your actual VAPI API URL and endpoint for creating or linking an agent
url = "https://api.vapi.ai/agents/link"

# Replace with your actual VAPI access token
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

# Replace with the actual data required by VAPI to link an agent
data = {
    "agentId": "your_platform_agent_id",  # The ID of the agent in your platform
    "vapiAgentConfig": {
        # VAPI-specific configuration for the agent
    }
    # Include any other required fields as per the VAPI documentation
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

print(response.text)
In this example, you would need to replace
YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
with your actual VAPI access token,
your_platform_agent_id
with the ID of the agent as it is known in your platform, and
vapiAgentConfig
with the configuration details required by VAPI. Please note that this is a generic example and the actual implementation will vary based on VAPI's API. You will need to consult the VAPI documentation for the exact endpoints, required parameters, and authentication methods. If VAPI provides an SDK or client library, it would be beneficial to use that as it can simplify the process of making API calls. If you do not have access to the VAPI documentation or if you need further assistance, please reach out to VAPI support for more detailed guidance.
t
How do I display calls from twillio with a vapi agent @Vapi
What api code do I need to make an agent in vapi @Vapi
v
@TimeDrift To create an agent in VAPI, you would typically need to make an API request to the VAPI's endpoint designated for creating agents. Since I don't have the exact details of VAPI's API, I'll provide you with a hypothetical example of how such a request might look using Python with the
requests
library. Please note that you will need to replace the placeholder values with actual data provided by VAPI, and the endpoint URL will need to be the one specified by VAPI for creating agents.
Copy code
python
import requests

# The hypothetical endpoint for creating an agent in VAPI
url = "https://api.vapi.ai/agent/create"

# Your VAPI access token
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_VAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

# The data payload with the details of the agent you want to create
data = {
    "name": "Agent Name",
    "description": "Agent Description",
    "language": "en-US",
    # ... any other required properties for the agent
}

# Making the POST request to create the agent
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

# Output the response from the VAPI server
print(response.text)
In this example,
YOUR_VAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN
should be replaced with your actual VAPI access token. The
data
dictionary should include all the necessary properties that VAPI requires to create an agent. These properties can include the agent's name, description, language, and any other settings that VAPI allows you to configure. Please consult the VAPI documentation for the exact endpoint, required headers, required payload structure, and any other specific details you need to include in your request to create an agent. If you do not have access to the VAPI documentation or if you need further assistance, please reach out to VAPI support for more detailed guidance.

How do I get hte Cost per minute and latency feature through api @Vapi
@Vapi I want to display the cost and letency like on Vapi.com how do I pull that or something similar to that through API so I can show my users the cost per module
Any idea on this @Vapi ?

@TimeDrift can you check the CURL request error response that you're getting? Most probably you're missing your private key.
t

s
@TimeDrift the application is not on Vapi platform If I am not wrong.
t
The pricing application?
@Vapi How can I call the Agents that I have in VAPI to display through API on my program?
v
@TimeDrift To call and display the agents you have in VAPI through an API on your program, you will need to use the appropriate VAPI endpoint that provides a list of agents. Typically, this would be a GET request to an endpoint such as
/agents
or
/agents/list
. Here's a hypothetical example of how you might make this API call using Python with the
requests
library:
Copy code
python
import requests

# The hypothetical endpoint for listing agents in VAPI
url = "https://api.vapi.ai/agents"

# Your VAPI access token
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_VAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

# Making the GET request to retrieve the list of agents
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

# Output the response from the VAPI server
print(response.json())
In this example,
YOUR_VAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN
should be replaced with your actual VAPI access token. The response from the server will typically be a JSON object containing a list of agents and their details. Please consult the VAPI documentation for the exact endpoint, required headers, and the structure of the response. If you do not have access to the VAPI documentation or if you need further assistance, please reach out to VAPI support for more detailed guidance.
t
Thank you and what is the API call to create and agent in VAPI @Vapi ?
v
@TimeDrift To create an agent in VAPI via an API call, you would typically send a POST request to the VAPI endpoint designated for agent creation. However, as I do not have access to the specific documentation for VAPI, I can only provide you with a hypothetical example. You will need to refer to the VAPI documentation for the exact endpoint and required parameters. Here's a generic example using Python with the
requests
library:
Copy code
python
import requests

# Hypothetical URL for the VAPI endpoint to create an agent
url = "https://api.vapi.ai/agents/create"

# Your VAPI access token
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_VAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

# The data payload with the details of the agent you want to create
data = {
    "name": "New Agent Name",
    "description": "Description of the Agent's capabilities",
    "language": "en-US",
    # Include any other required fields as per the VAPI documentation
}

# Making the POST request to create the agent
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

# Output the response from the VAPI server
print(response.json())
In this example, replace
YOUR_VAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN
with your actual VAPI access token, and fill in the
data
dictionary with the appropriate fields required by VAPI to create an agent. The fields required can vary based on the VAPI's API specifications. Please ensure you have the correct endpoint URL and the necessary parameters as per the VAPI documentation. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please reach out to VAPI support for more detailed guidance.

We don't own such appkication.
@Vapi So wgat would be the code for me to use to make a voice agent on my website, have it use VAPI, and integrate in seemleessly with VAPI?
@Vapi do you have some example code you can send over?
@Vapi is the create agent the public or private api key?
v
@TimeDrift When creating an agent through an API, you typically use your private API key for authentication. The private API key is meant to be kept secret and is used to perform sensitive operations, such as creating resources or making changes to your account. The public key, on the other hand, is generally used for less sensitive operations, such as retrieving public data. Here's a hypothetical example of how you might create a voice agent using a REST API call with the private API key for authentication. This example uses Python with the
requests
library:
Copy code
python
import requests

# The hypothetical endpoint for creating a voice agent in VAPI
url = "https://api.vapi.ai/agent/create"

# Your VAPI private API key
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

# The data payload with the details of the voice agent you want to create
data = {
    "name": "Voice Agent Name",
    "description": "A description of the voice agent's purpose",
    "language": "en-US",
    # Include any other required fields as per the VAPI documentation
}

# Making the POST request to create the voice agent
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

# Output the response from the VAPI server
print(response.json())
In this example, replace
YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY
with your actual VAPI private API key, and fill in the
data
dictionary with the appropriate fields required by VAPI to create a voice agent. Please note that this is a generic example and you will need to refer to the specific VAPI documentation for the exact endpoint, required headers, and payload structure. If you do not have access to the VAPI documentation or if you need further assistance, please reach out to VAPI support for more detailed guidance.
t
@Vapi can I select a area code from the VAPI phone when I buy it?
v
@TimeDrift Yes, when purchasing a phone number through VAPI, you typically have the option to select an area code of your choice, assuming numbers are available in that area code. This allows you to have a local presence in a specific region or city. The process of selecting an area code would be part of the phone number purchasing flow. If you're using an API to buy the number, you would specify the desired area code in the API request. Here's a hypothetical example of how you might specify an area code when making an API request to purchase a phone number:
Copy code
json
{
  "areaCode": "123", // Replace with the desired area code
  // ... other necessary parameters for purchasing the number
}
Please refer to the VAPI documentation for the exact parameters and endpoint to use when purchasing a phone number with a specific area code. If you need further assistance or have any questions, feel free to ask!
t
Buying phone #s in VAPI use private key @Vapi ?
v
@TimeDrift Yes, when purchasing phone numbers through VAPI or any similar API, you would typically use your private API key for authentication. The private API key is used to perform secure operations that make changes to your account, such as purchasing resources like phone numbers. It's important to keep your private API key confidential and only use it in server-side code or in environments where it cannot be exposed to the public. Never embed your private API key in client-side code or share it in places where unauthorized users can access it. If you're making an API call to purchase a phone number with VAPI, you would include your private API key in the request header for authentication. Here's a hypothetical example of how you might do this using cURL:
Copy code
bash
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.vapi.ai/phone-numbers/buy \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "areaCode": "123", // Replace with the desired area code
    // ... other necessary parameters for purchasing the number
  }'
Please ensure you refer to the VAPI documentation for the correct API endpoint, request method, and other required parameters when purchasing a phone number. If you need further assistance or have any questions, feel free to ask!

What is the API code for purchasing a phone through API @Vapi ?
v
@TimeDrift To purchase a phone number through an API, you would typically send a POST request to the API's endpoint designated for phone number purchasing. Since I don't have the exact details of the API you're using, I'll provide you with a hypothetical example using cURL, which is a command-line tool for making HTTP requests. Here's a generic cURL example to purchase a phone number:
Copy code
bash
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.yourprovider.com/phone-numbers/purchase \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "areaCode": "123",
    "country": "US",
    "type": "local"
  }'
In this example, replace
https://api.yourprovider.com/phone-numbers/purchase
with the actual endpoint provided by your API for purchasing phone numbers. Also, replace
YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY
with your private API key, and adjust the
areaCode
,
country
, and
type
fields as needed based on the options provided by the API. If you're using a specific API like Twilio, the code would look different and use Twilio's specific endpoint and parameters. Always refer to the API documentation of the service you're using for the correct endpoint and required parameters. If you need the exact code for a specific provider like Twilio or another service, please provide the name of the service, and I can give you a more detailed example.
t
@Vapi what codes should I use for private keys? Can you send me a bunch of ecamples for that
v
@TimeDrift Private keys are sensitive pieces of information used to authenticate and authorize access to an API. They should be kept secure and not shared publicly. When you're working with APIs, you don't choose 'codes' for private keys; instead, they are provided to you by the API service when you create an API account or register an application. Here's how you typically use a private key in API requests: 1. **Header Authentication**:
Copy code
bash
   curl --request GET \
     --url https://api.service.com/data \
     --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY'
2. **Basic Authentication**:
Copy code
bash
   curl --request GET \
     --url https://api.service.com/data \
     --user 'YOUR_API_KEY:YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY'
3. **Query Parameter**:
Copy code
bash
   curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://api.service.com/data?api_key=YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY'
4. **In the Body of a POST Request**:
Copy code
bash
   curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.service.com/data \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data '{"private_key": "YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY", "data": {...}}'
Please replace
YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY
with the actual private key provided by the API service. The method of including the private key in your request will depend on how the API service expects to receive it, which is detailed in their documentation. Remember, you should never expose your private keys in client-side code, public repositories, or anywhere they can be accessed by unauthorized individuals. Always store them securely, such as in environment variables or a secure key management service. If you need examples for a specific API service, please provide the name of the service, and I can give you more detailed instructions based on their API documentation.

Sorry I mean what calls are made with private keys vs public keys? Can you give me examples @Vapi
@Vapi I am getting Error Fetching Phone Numbers 500: Internal Server Error
v
@TimeDrift An HTTP 500: Internal Server Error indicates that there is a problem with the server that is hosting the API you are trying to use. This error is not caused by your request; it's a problem on the server side. Here are some steps you can take when encountering a 500 error: 1. **Retry the Request**: Sometimes, the issue may be temporary. Wait a moment and then try your request again. 2. **Check API Status**: Many services have a status page where they report any ongoing issues. Check if there is a known problem with the API. 3. **Review Your Request**: Although a 500 error typically indicates a server-side issue, it's still a good idea to review your request to ensure it's formatted correctly according to the API documentation. 4. **Check for Updates**: Look for any announcements from the API provider that might indicate changes or maintenance that could affect the API's availability. 5. **Contact Support**: If the problem persists, reach out to the API provider's support team for assistance. Provide them with details of your request and the error you're receiving. 6. **Monitor Your Application**: If your application depends on this API, make sure to handle such errors gracefully and alert your users if necessary. Remember, when using private keys for API calls, you're typically performing actions that require authentication and authorization, such as purchasing resources or accessing sensitive data. Public keys are often used for less sensitive operations, like retrieving public information or performing actions that don't require user-specific data. If you need further assistance or have more questions, please let me know!

@TimeDrift Your code for fetching VAPI phone numbers seems mostly correct, but you're encountering a 500 Internal Server Error, which suggests there might be an issue on the server side or with the way the request is being made. Here are a few things you can check and potentially change: 1. **Endpoint URL**: Verify that the URL
https://api.vapi.ai/v1/phone-numbers
is correct. The actual endpoint might be different, and you should confirm this with the VAPI documentation. 2. **Authorization Headers**: Check if VAPI requires both the API key and the private key in the headers. It's possible that only one key (likely the private key) should be used in the
Authorization
header, and the other key might not be needed or used differently. 3. **Error Handling**: When you catch an error, you're currently returning a 500 status code with the error message. Make sure that the error message you're returning doesn't inadvertently expose sensitive information. 4. **Server Logs**: Check the server logs for more detailed error messages that might give you a clue about what's going wrong on the server side. 5. **API Documentation**: Double-check the VAPI documentation to ensure that you're using the correct HTTP method, headers, and any other required parameters or settings. 6. **API Support**: If you're unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to VAPI support for help. They may be able to provide more specific guidance based on their system's requirements.

What are the endpoints for API calls in regards to phones #s @Vapi ?
v
@TimeDrift As an AI developed to support VAPI, I don't have access to real-time data or external databases, including specific details about VAPI's API endpoints. However, in a typical Voice API service, you might find endpoints for managing phone numbers that look something like this: 1. **List Available Phone Numbers**: - Endpoint:
GET /available-phone-numbers
- Description: Retrieve a list of phone numbers that are available for purchase. 2. **Purchase a Phone Number**: - Endpoint:
POST /phone-numbers/buy
- Description: Purchase an available phone number. 3. **List Purchased Phone Numbers**: - Endpoint:
GET /phone-numbers
- Description: Retrieve a list of phone numbers that you have already purchased. 4. **Update Phone Number Settings**: - Endpoint:
POST /phone-numbers/{phoneNumberSid}/update
- Description: Update settings for a specific purchased phone number. 5. **Release a Phone Number**: - Endpoint:
DELETE /phone-numbers/{phoneNumberSid}
- Description: Release a phone number that you no longer need. Please replace
{phoneNumberSid}
with the specific identifier for the phone number you wish to manage. To get the exact endpoints and how to use them, you should refer to the official API documentation provided by VAPI. The documentation will include detailed information about the available endpoints, required parameters, request and response formats, and authentication methods. If you need further assistance or have more questions about VAPI's API endpoints, please reach out to VAPI support or refer to their API documentation for accurate information.

v
@TimeDrift The error message you're seeing indicates that there is an attempt to access the
provider
property of
agent.model
, but
agent.model
is
undefined
. This is a common issue when dealing with JavaScript objects and can happen if
agent.model
has not been initialized before trying to access its properties. To fix this error, you need to ensure that
agent.model
is defined before you try to read the
provider
property from it. Here's how you can address the issue in your code:
Copy code
tsx
// Ensure that agent.model is defined before trying to access its properties
const modelProvider = agent.model ? agent.model.provider : 'default_provider';
const modelName = agent.model ? agent.model.name : 'default_name';
const modelSystemPrompt = agent.model ? agent.model.systemPrompt : 'default_system_prompt';

// Now use modelProvider, modelName, and modelSystemPrompt in your component
Alternatively, you can use optional chaining (?.) which is a more modern syntax that simplifies the process of checking for
null
or
undefined
before accessing a property:
Copy code
tsx
// Using optional chaining to safely access properties
const modelProvider = agent.model?.provider || 'default_provider';
const modelName = agent.model?.name || 'default_name';
const modelSystemPrompt = agent.model?.systemPrompt || 'default_system_prompt';
Make sure to replace
'default_provider'
,
'default_name'
, and
'default_system_prompt'
with appropriate default values or handle the case where
agent.model
might be
undefined
. After making these changes, your code should handle the case where
agent.model
is
undefined
without throwing a runtime error.

v
@TimeDrift The error message you're encountering is indicating that a
<Select.Item />
component in your code is missing a
value
prop, or the
value
prop is set to an empty string. In a select input, each item should have a unique value associated with it so that it can be properly selected and identified. Here's what you need to do to fix this error: 1. **Assign a Non-Empty Value**: Make sure that each
<Select.Item />
has a
value
prop and that it is not an empty string. For example:
Copy code
jsx
<Select.Item label="Option 1" value="option1" />
<Select.Item label="Option 2" value="option2" />
// ... other select items
2. **Check for Dynamic Values**: If you're generating
<Select.Item />
components dynamically, ensure that the value you're assigning to each item is not
undefined
,
null
, or an empty string. 3. **Placeholder Item**: If you have a placeholder item intended to prompt the user to make a selection, make sure it is not selectable or does not have an empty string as its value. You can use the
placeholder
prop on the
<Select />
component itself for this purpose. Here's an example with a placeholder:
Copy code
jsx
<Select placeholder="Please select an option">
  {/* Do not include a Select.Item for the placeholder */}
  <Select.Item label="Option 1" value="option1" />
  <Select.Item label="Option 2" value="option2" />
  // ... other select items
</Select>
By ensuring that each
<Select.Item />
has a valid
value
prop, you should be able to resolve the error. If you continue to experience issues, please provide the relevant code snippet, and I can offer more specific advice.

@Vapi what is the API call for me to use when it comes to fecthing assistant data from VAPI?
v
@TimeDrift To fetch assistant data from VAPI, you would typically make a GET request to an endpoint provided by VAPI for retrieving assistant information. Since I don't have the exact details of VAPI's API, I'll provide you with a hypothetical example using the
requests
library in Python:
Copy code
python
import requests

# Replace 'YOUR_VAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN' with your actual VAPI access token
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_VAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

# Hypothetical URL for fetching assistant data from VAPI
url = "https://api.vapi.ai/assistants"

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

# Check if the request was successful
if response.status_code == 200:
    # Parse the response data
    assistant_data = response.json()
    print(assistant_data)
else:
    # Handle errors (e.g., display the error message)
    print(f"Error: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")
In this example, you need to replace
YOUR_VAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN
with the actual access token provided by VAPI. The URL
https://api.vapi.ai/assistants
is a placeholder and should be replaced with the actual endpoint for fetching assistant data as specified in the VAPI documentation. Please consult the VAPI documentation for the exact endpoint, required headers, and any other specific details you need to include in your request to fetch assistant data. If you need further assistance or have more questions about making API calls to VAPI, please reach out to VAPI support or refer to their API documentation for accurate information.

v
@TimeDrift The error message indicates that there is an issue with the input syntax for an integer type. It seems that a UUID string (
'5eb99238-f076-47eb-a5bc-aef9a3758e9c'
) is being passed to a field or parameter that expects an integer value. Here's what you can do to resolve this issue: 1. **Check Field Types**: Review the API documentation to identify which fields require integer values. Ensure that you are not mistakenly passing a UUID or string to an integer field. 2. **Correct Payload**: Modify your API request payload to ensure that all data types match the expected types as per the API documentation. If a field requires an integer, pass an integer value, not a UUID. 3. **Review API Call**: Look at the specific API call you are making to initiate a call. There might be a parameter where you need to pass an identifier, such as a user ID or an agent ID, which should be an integer rather than a UUID. 4. **Credentials**: The error message also suggests checking your credentials. While the main error seems to be related to input syntax, it's still a good idea to verify that your API key and other credentials are correct and have the necessary permissions. 5. **Contact Support**: If you've checked the input types and your credentials and the issue persists, you may need to contact the API support team for further assistance. If you provide the specific API call you're making (including the endpoint and payload), I can offer more targeted advice.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Review API Request**: Check the payload of your API request to ensure that the fields for the first message and system prompt are included and correctly formatted. They should match the expected format as per the VAPI documentation. 2. **Check Field Names**: Verify that the field names for the first message and system prompt are correct according to the VAPI documentation. Field names are case-sensitive and must be exact. 3. **Check for Null Values**: Ensure that the values for these fields are not null or empty strings in the request payload. 4. **API Documentation**: Consult the VAPI documentation to confirm whether there are any additional requirements or configurations needed for setting the first message and system prompt. 5. **Error Handling**: Look for any error messages or warnings returned by the API that might indicate what went wrong with updating these fields. 6. **Contact Support**: If you've verified the request and followed the documentation but the issue persists, reach out to VAPI support for assistance. There might be an issue on their end, or they may provide further insights into the problem. If you can share the code snippet or the API call you're making to update the assistant, I can provide more specific guidance.
@TimeDrift It seems you intended to share a code snippet for review, but I didn't receive any code in your message. If you provide the code you're referring to, I'd be happy to share my thoughts and offer feedback or suggestions for improvement. Please paste the code snippet here, and I'll take a look at it for you.

@Vapi What are the API calls and code to update VAPI with an api call
@Vapi can you help me please. What are the API calls code to update VAPI with an api call
v
@TimeDrift Certainly! To update an entity such as an assistant in VAPI using an API call, you would typically send a PUT or PATCH request to the VAPI endpoint designated for updating that entity. Below is a hypothetical example of how you might do this using Python with the
requests
library:
Copy code
python
import requests

# The hypothetical endpoint for updating an assistant in VAPI
url = "https://api.vapi.ai/assistants/{assistant_id}"  # Replace {assistant_id} with the actual ID of the assistant

# Your VAPI access token
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_VAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN',  # Replace with your actual VAPI access token
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

# The data payload with the updated details of the assistant
data = {
    "name": "Updated Assistant Name",
    "first_message": "Hello, how can I assist you today?",
    "system_prompt": "I didn't catch that. Can you please repeat?"
    # Include any other fields that you need to update
}

# Making the PUT request to update the assistant
response = requests.put(url, headers=headers, json=data)

# Output the response from the VAPI server
if response.ok:
    print("Assistant updated successfully:", response.json())
else:
    print("Failed to update assistant:", response.status_code, response.text)
In this example, replace
YOUR_VAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN
with your actual VAPI access token,
{assistant_id}
with the ID of the assistant you want to update, and the
data
dictionary with the appropriate fields and values you wish to update. Please note that this is a generic example and you will need to refer to the specific VAPI documentation for the exact endpoint, required headers, and payload structure. If you do not have access to the VAPI documentation or if you need further assistance, please reach out to VAPI support for more detailed guidance.
t
So this would be correct?? url = "https://api.vapi.ai/assistants/372e37d3-1e1b-49ad-88b9-693f95458e0d" for the endpoint @Vapi
v
@TimeDrift Yes, the URL you've provided appears to be formatted correctly for an API endpoint that would be used to update an assistant with the specific ID
372e37d3-1e1b-49ad-88b9-693f95458e0d
in VAPI. This assumes that
https://api.vapi.ai
is the base URL for the VAPI service and that the service uses UUIDs like the one shown as identifiers for individual assistants. However, please ensure that this base URL and the assistant ID are correct as per the VAPI documentation. The actual endpoint and the method to update an assistant (PUT or PATCH) should be confirmed by referring to the official API documentation provided by VAPI. If you have access to the VAPI documentation, it should give you the exact endpoint and the required HTTP method (PUT or PATCH), along with the expected request payload format and any required headers. If you're unsure or if you need further assistance, please reach out to VAPI support for confirmation.
t
v
@TimeDrift The correct endpoint URL for interacting with assistants in VAPI would be specified in the VAPI documentation. Typically, RESTful API conventions suggest the following: - `https://api.vapi.ai/assistants`: This endpoint would usually be used for listing all assistants or creating a new assistant with a POST request. - `https://api.vapi.ai/assistants/{assistant_id}`: This endpoint, including the assistant's unique identifier, would typically be used for retrieving, updating, or deleting a specific assistant with GET, PUT/PATCH, or DELETE requests, respectively. Without the specific documentation for VAPI, I cannot confirm which endpoint is correct. You should refer to the VAPI documentation or reach out to their support team to get the accurate endpoint for your needs. If you're trying to update a specific assistant, you would likely use the first format with the assistant's ID appended to the endpoint. If you're listing all assistants or creating a new one, you might use the endpoint without an ID. Always double-check with the official API documentation to ensure you're using the correct endpoint and method for your API call.

My update VAPI Assistant isn't working. Here is what we are sending The endpoint: https://api.vapi.ai/assistants/{assistantId} The HTTP method: PUT The request body we're sending: { "name": data.name, "first_message": data.model.firstMessage || "", "system_prompt": data.model.systemPrompt || "", "model": { "provider": data.model.provider, "model": data.model.model }, "voice": { "provider": data.voice.provider, "voiceId": data.voice.voiceId }, "transcriber": { "provider": data.transcriber.provider, "model": data.transcriber.model, "language": "en" } } This is the structure we're using in both client/src/pages/vapi-assistants.tsx and server/routes.ts. Would you like me to make any adjustments to this structure? What should I change @Vapi
v
@TimeDrift The structure of your request body seems logical, but whether it is correct depends on the specific requirements of the VAPI API. Here are some steps to ensure that your request is properly formatted and aligns with VAPI's expectations: 1. **Confirm Endpoint and Method**: Make sure that the endpoint
https://api.vapi.ai/assistants/{assistantId}
and the HTTP method
PUT
are correct as per the VAPI documentation for updating an assistant. 2. **Replace Placeholder**: Ensure that
{assistantId}
in the URL is replaced with the actual ID of the assistant you wish to update. 3. **Check Request Body**: Verify that the structure of the request body matches the schema expected by the VAPI API. This includes field names, data types, and whether certain fields are optional or required. 4. **Required Fields**: Confirm which fields are required for the update operation. It's possible that some fields cannot be empty strings and must either be omitted if not used or must contain valid data. 5. **Nested Objects**: Double-check how nested objects are handled in the VAPI API. For example, the
model
field within the
model
object might need to be named differently to avoid confusion with the outer
model
field. 6. **Error Messages**: Look at any error messages returned by the API for clues on what might be wrong with the request. 7. **API Documentation**: Consult the VAPI API documentation for detailed information on the expected request format for updating an assistant. 8. **Contact Support**: If you're still unsure or if the request is not working as expected, reach out to VAPI support for assistance. If you have access to the VAPI documentation, it should provide you with the exact specifications needed for your request. If you do not have access to the documentation or if you need further assistance, please reach out to VAPI support for more detailed guidance.

@Vapi I am getting the error Failed to generate client token. Please ensure your API key is correct. when I am trying to get a web voice chat going
v
@TimeDrift The error message "Failed to generate client token. Please ensure your API key is correct." suggests that there is an issue with the API key you are using to authenticate the request for generating a client token for web voice chat. Here's what you should do to resolve this issue: 1. **Verify API Key**: Double-check that the API key you are using is correct. Make sure it is the key expected by the VAPI service for generating tokens. 2. **Key Permissions**: Ensure that the API key has the necessary permissions to generate client tokens. Some services require specific permissions or scopes to be set for API keys. 3. **Key Activation**: Confirm that the API key is active and has not been revoked or expired. 4. **Correct Usage**: Make sure you are using the API key in the correct part of your request. Depending on the service, the key might need to be included in the request header or body. 5. **API Documentation**: Consult the VAPI documentation for the correct procedure to generate a client token. Follow the instructions carefully, including the correct HTTP method, endpoint, and any required parameters. 6. **Error Handling**: Implement error handling in your code to catch any issues during the token generation process and log detailed error messages. 7. **Contact Support**: If you have verified the API key and are still encountering this error, reach out to VAPI support for assistance. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and ensure that your API key is set up correctly. If you can share the code snippet where you are making the request to generate the client token, I can provide more specific guidance. Remember to redact any sensitive information such as the actual API key before sharing the code.

v
@TimeDrift The error message indicates a couple of issues: 1. **HTTP 500 Error**: This is a server-side error. It means that the server (in this case, the one hosted at
https://115b13e5-ad54-43f3-ae1c-488d98e7d169-00-1xdns1wudst3r.riker.replit.dev
) encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request. 2. **Nested HTTP 404 Error**: Within the details of the 500 error, there's a nested 404 error with the message "Cannot POST /v1/client-token". This suggests that the server tried to make a POST request to an endpoint
/v1/client-token
but this endpoint could not be found. Here's what you should do to resolve these issues: - **Check the Endpoint**: Verify that the endpoint
/v1/client-token
exists on the server you are making the POST request to. If this is an endpoint provided by VAPI, ensure that you are using the correct base URL and that the endpoint path is correct as per VAPI's documentation. - **Review Server Code**: Since the error is occurring on your server, review the server-side code that handles the
/api/vapi/client-token
route. Ensure that it is correctly making a POST request to VAPI's endpoint and that it is handling errors appropriately. - **API Key**: The error message suggests checking the API key. Make sure that the API key you are using to generate the VAPI client token is correct and has the necessary permissions. - **Contact VAPI Support**: If you are sure that the endpoint and API key are correct, but you are still getting a 404 error when your server attempts to POST to VAPI, you may need to contact VAPI support for assistance. - **Error Handling**: Improve error handling on your server to catch and log detailed error messages. This will help you diagnose issues more effectively. Remember to handle sensitive information such as API keys securely and not expose them in client-side code or error messages.

v
@TimeDrift The error message "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'update')" suggests that there is an attempt to call an 'update' method on an object that is
undefined
. This could be happening on the server-side code that handles the API endpoint
/api/vapi/assistants/{assistantId}
. Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot and fix the issue: 1. **Review Server Code**: Look at the server-side function that corresponds to the
handleSaveAssistant
method. Check where the 'update' method is being called and ensure that the object it's being called on is properly defined. 2. **Check API Key**: The error message also suggests ensuring that the API key is correct. Verify that the API key is being sent correctly in the request headers and that it has the necessary permissions for the update operation. 3. **Error Handling**: Improve error handling on the server to catch such errors and return a more informative response. This can help identify the exact point of failure. 4. **Logging**: Add logging statements before the error occurs to log the state of the object that should have the 'update' method. This can help determine why it's
undefined
. 5. **API Documentation**: If you're calling an 'update' method from an external library or service, consult the API documentation to ensure you're using it correctly. 6. **Contact Support**: If you're unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to the support team for the service or library you're using. If you can share the server-side code where the 'update' method is being called, I can provide more specific advice. Remember to redact any sensitive information such as API keys before sharing your code.

@Vapi if I wanted to send an update request with ALL the variables, what would that api call code be?
s
Hey @TimeDrift Both screenshots are different. Can you help me understand where you're currently blocked and what you're trying to achieve? Sorry, but I've lost the context here.
t
@Shubham Bajaj 100% brother, sorry I was moving fast last night. I am currently blocked on updating the assistant in VAPI through an API call
@Vapi here is what happens when I do an api call. What should I change? 1. When you hit update, it sends a PUT request to our endpoint: PUT /api/vapi/assistants/:id With body: { "name": "Assistant Name", "description": "Assistant Description", "aiSettings": { "model": { "provider": "openai", "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo", "messages": [ { "role": "system", "content": "1. Ask for their full name.\n2. Ask for the purpose of their appointment.\n3. Request their preferred date and time for the appointment.\n4. Confirm all details with the caller, including the date and time of the appointment." } ] }, "firstMessage": "Thanks for Calling Mary's dentist, how can I help you today?" } } 2. Our server then transforms this and makes a PATCH request to VAPI's API: PATCH https://api.vapi.ai/assistant/:id Headers: Authorization: Bearer {VAPI_API_KEY} Content-Type: application/json Body: { "name": "Assistant Name", "description": "Assistant Description", "model": { "provider": "openai", "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo", "messages": [ { "role": "system", "content": "1. Ask for their full name.\n2. Ask for the purpose of their appointment.\n3. Request their preferred date and time for the appointment.\n4. Confirm all details with the caller, including the date and time of the appointment." } ] }, "firstMessage": "Thanks for Calling Mary's dentist, how can I help you today?", "firstMessageMode": "assistant-speaks-first", "hipaaEnabled": false, "clientMessages": ["transcript", "hang", "function-call", "speech-update", "metadata", "conversation-update"], "serverMessages": ["end-of-call-report", "status-update", "hang", "function-call"], "endCallPhrases": ["goodbye", "talk to you soon"], "silenceTimeoutSeconds": 10, "maxDurationSeconds": 600, "backgroundSound": "off", "backgroundDenoisingEnabled": false, "modelOutputInMessagesEnabled": true, "recordingEnabled": true } The actual PATCH request code in vapi.ts:
Copy code

  console.log('Updating VAPI assistant with params:', {
    assistantId,

  const response = await fetch(`https://api.vapi.ai/assistant/${assistantId}`, {
    method: "PATCH",
    headers: {
      "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.VAPI_API_KEY}`,
      "Content-Type": "application/json"

      request: {
        assistantId,
        params
      }
    });
    throw new Error(`Failed to update VAPI assistant: ${error}`);
  }

  const result = await response.json();
  console.log('VAPI Update Success:', {

One sec let me grab it
@Shubham Bajaj It isn't throwing an error now. But here is the issue I am facing. I am changing the first message adding aa to the end. I hit update and it says "success" but then the update is not pushed to VAPI https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1328923059905630238/1329838025563177023/image.png?ex=678bcbac&is=678a7a2c&hm=43ccf6e2ad97581059eae526ae586738ec88189035a8e85113e0345b5d9ec2f8&
