call.
Based on the information I found, here are some potential causes for the 400 Internal Server Error you're experiencing:
## API Key Issues
Make sure your API key is correct and has the proper permissions. The error might occur if there's an issue with authentication. The API key should be passed in the authorization header as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
according to the [VAPI documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/api-reference/assistants/create-assistant).
## JSON Formatting Issues
Ensure your request body is properly formatted. Incorrect JSON formatting can cause 400 errors when calling vapiClient.start()
.
## Transcription Configuration
Regarding your transcription configuration:
- While you've specified "language": "en-US"
, according to the documentation, VAPI's call language recognition is automated, so you may not need to set it explicitly.
- The "nova-2" model from Deepgram is supported, but make sure it's compatible with your specific use case.
## Expo SDK Version Compatibility
There might be compatibility issues with your Expo SDK version. According to information I found, VAPI RN requires Expo SDK 50 currently. If you're using a different version, consider downgrading to Expo SDK 50, clearing the Metro bundler cache, and rebuilding your app.
## Network Connectivity Issues
Ensure your device has proper network access and can reach the VAPI servers. Firewalls or network restrictions could be blocking the connection.
## Server URL Configuration
Check if a server URL is required for your assistant to know where to send and receive data. This might need to be configured in the VAPI dashboard.
