I'm sorry you're experiencing this persistent CLI/API mismatch. Please try updating your CLI to the latest version with:
Copy code
vapi update
If the issue persists, report it (including your CLI version and error details) to the [Vapi support team](support@vapi.ai) for direct assistance. This helps the team address compatibility issues quickly and ensures you get a resolution. Sources: - [Vapi CLI Documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/cli) - [Vapi Support](https://docs.vapi.ai/support)

Hi Liam T Bilich, I see there's no detailed support request provided. If you have any questions or issues regarding our services or documentation, please feel free to ask, and I'll be happy to help. You might be interested in recent updates like the new vapi.websocketCall type for calls using WebSockets [here](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2025/4/8) or using the Vapi CLI for managing your projects efficiently [here](https://docs.vapi.ai/cli). While the documentation mentions the CLI's existence and basic commands like:
Copy code
# Install the CLIcurl -sSL https://vapi.ai/install.sh | bash# Login and create an assistantvapi loginvapi assistant create
This appears to be a bug where the CLI is not properly handling the API response format. I recommend: 1. Report this specific error to Vapi's support team or create an issue in their repository 2. In the meantime, use the Dashboard UI or REST API directly for managing assistants You're right to be frustrated about the CLI not working properly. Consider using the REST API or Dashboard as alternatives until this issue is resolved. Let me know how I can assist further.
