Deepgram Webhooks & Callbacks

Overview

Implement async transcription with Deepgram's callback feature. When you pass a callback URL, Deepgram returns a request_id immediately, processes audio in the background, and POSTs results to your endpoint. Supports HTTP and WebSocket callbacks with automatic retry (10 attempts, 30s intervals).

Deepgram Callback Flow

1. Client -> POST /v1/listen?callback=https://you.com/webhook  (with audio)
2. Deepgram -> 200 { request_id: "..." }                       (immediate)
3. Deepgram processes audio asynchronously
4. Deepgram -> POST https://you.com/webhook                    (results)
   Retries up to 10 times (30s delay) on non-2xx response
