Deepgram Hello World

Overview

Minimal working example demonstrating core Deepgram speech-to-text functionality.

Prerequisites

  • Completed deepgram-install-auth setup
  • Valid API credentials configured
  • Audio file for transcription (or use URL)

Instructions

Step 1: Create Entry File

Create a new file for your hello world example.

Step 2: Import and Initialize Client

import { createClient } from '@deepgram/sdk';

const deepgram = createClient(process.env.DEEPGRAM_API_KEY);

Step 3: Transcribe Audio from URL

async function transcribe() {
  const { result, error } = await deepgram.listen.prerecorded.transcribeUrl(
    { url: 'https://static.deepgram.com/examples/nasa-podcast.wav' },
    { model: 'nova-2', smart_format: true }
  );

  if (error) throw error;
  console.log(result.results.channels[0].alternatives[0].transcript);
}

transcribe();

Output

  • Working code file with Deepgram client initialization
  • Successful transcription response
  • Console output showing transcribed text

Error Handling

Error Cause Solution
Import Error SDK not installed Verify with npm list @deepgram/sdk
Auth Error Invalid credentials Check environment variable is set
Audio Format Error Unsupported format Use WAV, MP3, FLAC, or OGG
URL Not Accessible Cannot fetch audio Ensure URL is publicly accessible

Examples

TypeScript - Transcribe URL

import { createClient } from '@deepgram/sdk';

const deepgram = createClient(process.env.DEEPGRAM_API_KEY);

async function main() {
  const { result, error } = await deepgram.listen.prerecorded.transcribeUrl(
    { url: 'https://static.deepgram.com/examples/nasa-podcast.wav' },
    { model: 'nova-2', smart_format: true }
  );

  if (error) throw error;
  console.log('Transcript:', result.results.channels[0].alternatives[0].transcript);
}

main().catch(console.error);

TypeScript - Transcribe Local File

import { createClient } from '@deepgram/sdk';
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';

const deepgram = createClient(process.env.DEEPGRAM_API_KEY);

async function transcribeFile(filePath: string) {
  const audio = readFileSync(filePath);

  const { result, error } = await deepgram.listen.prerecorded.transcribeFile(
    audio,
    { model: 'nova-2', smart_format: true, mimetype: 'audio/wav' }
  );

  if (error) throw error;
  console.log('Transcript:', result.results.channels[0].alternatives[0].transcript);
}

transcribeFile('./audio.wav');

Python Example

from deepgram import DeepgramClient, PrerecordedOptions
import os

deepgram = DeepgramClient(os.environ.get('DEEPGRAM_API_KEY'))

options = PrerecordedOptions(
    model="nova-2",
    smart_format=True,
)

url = {"url": "https://static.deepgram.com/examples/nasa-podcast.wav"}
response = deepgram.listen.rest.v("1").transcribe_url(url, options)

print(response.results.channels[0].alternatives[0].transcript)
