09/09/2025, 10:12 PMtransport object format (as the older Transport schema is now deprecated)? This will help determine if a misconfiguration is causing the issue.
If possible, please share a sample of your current call configuration for review.
Note: The error may be related to missing or incorrect transport settings, as recent updates require the transport property to be set as an object in the call configuration ([see changelog](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2025/4/8)).

09/11/2025, 2:56 PMcall.start.error-get-transport indicates a problem retrieving the transport information during the call start process. Here are a few steps to help troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
1. Verify Transport Configuration: Ensure that your call request correctly specifies the transport. For WebSocket transport, the configuration should look like this:
json
{
"assistantId": "YOUR_ASSISTANT_ID",
"transport": {
"provider": "vapi.websocket",
"audioFormat": {
"format": "pcm_s16le", // or "mulaw"
"container": "raw",
"sampleRate": 16000 // or 8000 for Mu-Law
}
}
}
2. Authentication: Check that your API call includes a valid Authorization header with a valid bearer token. Ensure your token has the correct permissions to initiate calls.
3. API Endpoint: Confirm that you are using the correct API endpoint for call initialization, which should be 'https://api.vapi.ai/call'.
4. Check for Updates: Verify that your software or SDK is up to date with the latest version that supports the current API capabilities.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, double-check the error logs or audit any additional configurations that may affect this transport retrieval. For more information on configuring WebSocket calls and formats, refer to the [WebSocket Transport documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/calls/websocket-transport).yar_kew
