Overview
Welcome to Syllable AI SDK
Developer-friendly & type-safe Typescript SDK specifically catered to leverage syllable-sdk API.
Syllable Platform SDK
Syllable SDK gives you the power of awesome AI agentry. π
The Syllable SDK provides a comprehensive set of tools and APIs to integrate powerful AI
capabilities into your communication applications. Whether youβre building chatbots, virtual
assistants, or any other AI-driven solutions, Syllable SDK has got you covered.
Features
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Understand and generate human language with ease.
- LLM Agents: Leverage pre-built agents or train your own custom agents.
- Speech Recognition: Convert speech to text and vice versa.
- Data Analytics: Analyze and visualize data to gain insights.
- Integration: Seamlessly integrate with other services and platforms.
SDK Installation
The SDK can be installed with either npm, pnpm, bun or yarn package managers.

Requirements
For supported JavaScript runtimes, please consult runtimes doc.
SDK Example Usage
Example
Standalone functions
All the methods listed above are available as standalone functions. These functions are ideal for use in applications running in the browser, serverless runtimes or other environments where application bundle size is a primary concern. When using a bundler to build your application, all unused functionality will be either excluded from the final bundle or tree-shaken away.
File uploads
Certain SDK methods accept files as part of a multi-part request. It is possible and typically recommended to upload files as a stream rather than reading the entire contents into memory. This avoids excessive memory consumption and potentially crashing with out-of-memory errors when working with very large files. The following example demonstrates how to attach a file stream to a request.
[!TIP]
Depending on your JavaScript runtime, there are convenient utilities that return a handle to a file without reading the entire contents into memory:
- Node.js v20+: Since v20, Node.js comes with a native
openAsBlob
function innode:fs
.- Bun: The native
Bun.file
function produces a file handle that can be used for streaming file uploads.- Browsers: All supported browsers return an instance to a
File
when reading the value from an<input type="file">
element.- Node.js v18: A file stream can be created using the
fileFrom
helper fromfetch-blob/from.js
.
Retries
Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.
To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply provide a retryConfig object to the call:
If youβd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can provide a retryConfig at SDK initialization:
Error Handling
Some methods specify known errors which can be thrown. All the known errors are enumerated in the models/errors/errors.ts
module. The known errors for a method are documented under the Errors tables in SDK docs. For example, the list
method may throw the following errors:
Error Type | Status Code | Content Type |
---|---|---|
errors.HTTPValidationError | 422 | application/json |
errors.SDKError | 4XX, 5XX | */* |
If the method throws an error and it is not captured by the known errors, it will default to throwing a SDKError
.
Validation errors can also occur when either method arguments or data returned from the server do not match the expected format. The SDKValidationError
that is thrown as a result will capture the raw value that failed validation in an attribute called rawValue
. Additionally, a pretty()
method is available on this error that can be used to log a nicely formatted multi-line string since validation errors can list many issues and the plain error string may be difficult read when debugging.
In some rare cases, the SDK can fail to get a response from the server or even make the request due to unexpected circumstances such as network conditions. These types of errors are captured in the models/errors/httpclienterrors.ts
module:
HTTP Client Error | Description |
---|---|
RequestAbortedError | HTTP request was aborted by the client |
RequestTimeoutError | HTTP request timed out due to an AbortSignal signal |
ConnectionError | HTTP client was unable to make a request to a server |
InvalidRequestError | Any input used to create a request is invalid |
UnexpectedClientError | Unrecognised or unexpected error |
Server Selection
Select Server by Index
You can override the default server globally by passing a server index to the serverIdx: number
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected server will then be used as the default on the operations that use it. This table lists the indexes associated with the available servers:
# | Server |
---|---|
0 | https://api.syllable.ai |
1 | https://trial.api.syllable.ai |
Example
Override Server URL Per-Client
The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverURL: string
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
Custom HTTP Client
The TypeScript SDK makes API calls using an HTTPClient
that wraps the native
Fetch API. This
client is a thin wrapper around fetch
and provides the ability to attach hooks
around the request lifecycle that can be used to modify the request or handle
errors and response.
The HTTPClient
constructor takes an optional fetcher
argument that can be
used to integrate a third-party HTTP client or when writing tests to mock out
the HTTP client and feed in fixtures.
The following example shows how to use the "beforeRequest"
hook to to add a
custom header and a timeout to requests and how to use the "requestError"
hook
to log errors:
Authentication
Per-Client Security Schemes
This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:
Name | Type | Scheme | Environment Variable |
---|---|---|---|
apiKeyHeader | apiKey | API key | SYLLABLESDK_API_KEY_HEADER |
To authenticate with the API the apiKeyHeader
parameter must be set when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
Debugging
You can setup your SDK to emit debug logs for SDK requests and responses.
You can pass a logger that matches console
βs interface as an SDK option.
[!WARNING] Beware that debug logging will reveal secrets, like API tokens in headers, in log messages printed to a console or files. Itβs recommended to use this feature only during local development and not in production.
You can also enable a default debug logger by setting an environment variable SYLLABLESDK_DEBUG
to true.
Development
Maturity
This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.
Contributions
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Any manual changes added to internal files will be overwritten on the next generation. We look forward to hearing your feedback. Feel free to open a PR or an issue with a proof of concept and weβll do our best to include it in a future release.
