Hi there! I understand you're facing an urgent issue with a TypeError when initializing the Vapi SDK in your Node.js server. Let me help you troubleshoot this! 🔍 I don't have visibility into your specific code implementation, so I can't pinpoint the exact cause of your TypeError. However, I can provide you with the correct initialization steps and common troubleshooting approaches for this type of error. ## Proper Initialization for Node.js For Node.js servers, you should be using the Vapi TypeScript SDK. Here's how to initialize it correctly: 1. First, install the SDK:
Copy code
bash
npm install @vapi-ai/server-sdk
2. Then initialize it in your code:
Copy code
javascript
import { VapiClient } from "@vapi-ai/server-sdk";

const VAPI_TOKEN = "your token here"

const vapiClient = new VapiClient({ token: VAPI_TOKEN });
## Common Causes of TypeError The "TypeError: Vapi" error could be caused by several issues: 1. **Incorrect Import**: Make sure you're importing the correct SDK for server-side use. The Web SDK won't work in Node.js. 2. **SDK Version Compatibility**: Check if you're using compatible versions of all dependencies. 3. **Incorrect API Key Setup**: Ensure you have the correct API key from the Vapi Dashboard. 4. **Syntax Errors**: Check for any syntax errors in your initialization code. 5. **Vapi Blocks Incompatibility**: Note that "Vapi blocks doesn't work with the server SDK" according to [documentation](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1336762229110083675). ## Additional Resources For more examples, check out the [Node.js server-side example](https://github.com/VapiAI/server-side-example-javascript-node) provided by Vapi. Would you be able to share your initialization code so I can help identify the specific issue you're facing?

Hi there! I see you're experiencing a "TypeError: Vapi" when initializing the Vapi SDK in your Node.js server. I understand this is urgent, so let's troubleshoot this right away! 🛠️ I don't have visibility into your specific code implementation, so I can't pinpoint the exact cause of your error. However, I can definitely help with the proper initialization steps and common solutions for this type of error. ## Correct Initialization for Node.js Servers For Node.js servers, you should be using the Vapi TypeScript SDK rather than the Web SDK. Here's the proper way to initialize it: 1. First, install the correct SDK:
Copy code

Copy code
javascript
import { VapiClient } from "@vapi-ai/server-sdk";

const VAPI_TOKEN = "your token here"

const vapiClient = new VapiClient({ token: VAPI_TOKEN });
## Common Causes of "TypeError: Vapi" This error typically occurs due to one of these issues: 1. **Using the wrong SDK**: The Web SDK won't work in Node.js environments. Make sure you're using the server-side SDK specifically designed for Node.js. 2. **Incorrect import statement**: Double-check your import syntax matches the example above. 3. **Version compatibility issues**: According to [documentation I found](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1239945056937443510), class inheritance problems linked to SDK version compatibility can cause TypeErrors. 4. **Syntax errors**: Check for any syntax errors in your initialization code or variable names. 5. **Vapi Blocks incompatibility**: Note that "Vapi blocks doesn't work with the server SDK" according to [documentation](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1336762229110083675).

Could you share your initialization code with me? This would help me identify the specific issue you're facing. Are you trying to use the Web SDK in a Node.js environment instead of the server-side SDK? The error "TypeError: Vapi" often occurs when using the wrong SDK for your environment. Also, which version of the SDK are you using? This information would help me provide more targeted troubleshooting steps.
