Deepgram Local Dev Loop

Examples

Use a local or development workspace with a short licensed fixture, make one SDK/config change, run the focused unit test and a bounded integration test, then inspect redacted metrics. Commit only the reviewed change; never copy production recordings, transcripts, or API keys into a local test loop.

Overview

Set up a fast local development workflow for Deepgram: test fixtures with sample audio, mock responses for offline unit tests, Vitest integration tests against the real API, and a watch-mode transcription dev server.

Prerequisites

• @deepgram/sdk installed, DEEPGRAM_API_KEY configured
• npm install -D vitest tsx dotenv for testing and dev server
• Optional: curl for downloading test fixtures
