Deepgram SDK Patterns

Examples

Wrap the SDK behind a client that receives a scoped secret reference, validates media metadata, applies timeout/retry limits, and emits only redacted request metrics. Unit-test the wrapper with a mocked response; use a development fixture for one integration test and verify that credentials, audio, and transcript content never enter logs.

Overview

Production patterns for @deepgram/sdk (TypeScript) and deepgram-sdk (Python). Covers singleton client, typed wrappers, text-to-speech with Aura, audio intelligence pipeline, error handling, and SDK v5 migration path.

Prerequisites

• npm install @deepgram/sdk or pip install deepgram-sdk
• DEEPGRAM_API_KEY environment variable configured
