is exposed at the top level.
Run:
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall vapi_python
Then, try your import again. If the error persists, check that there is no local file named vapi_python.py
in your project directory, as this can shadow the installed package.

05/26/2025, 9:03 AMfrom vapi import Vapi
instead of from vapi_python import Vapi
, as sometimes the import path can change between versions. If the issue persists, using direct API calls with the requests
library is also an option. Let me know if any of these steps help!Gama

in your project directory:
python
from vapi_python import Vapi
If you still get the import error, try running:
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall vapi_python
and restart your Python environment. This should expose the Vapi
class with the correct methods ([Vapi Python SDK GitHub](https://github.com/VapiAI/python)).
