Beta features and limits may change. ## Authentication Create a key in the [console](https://console.pyai.com) (it is shown once) and send it as a bearer token: ``` Authorization: Bearer pyai_live_... ``` Keys are environment-scoped: `pyai_live_...` (production) and `pyai_test_...` (sandbox). `POST /v1/sandbox/keys` creates an instant, short-lived test key without login or billing. Account signup also creates a sandbox key. Live keys consume prepaid credit; phone verification may unlock promotional credit under graduated-signup rules, but credit is not guaranteed at signup. Keys are self-validating signed tokens: they work on every PyAI surface the instant they are created, no activation or propagation delay. Treat them as opaque strings (up to 512 chars) and never parse their contents. WebSocket endpoints can't use request headers from a browser, so pass the key as a **subprotocol** instead: ``` Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: pyai.v1, pyai-key.pyai_live_... ``` (server-side clients may instead append `?api_key=...` to the URL). Your key is authenticated on the upgrade and never reaches the model. ## Quickstart, Hear (speech-to-text) ``` curl https://api.pyai.com/v1/audio/transcriptions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $PYAI_API_KEY" \ -F file=@audio.wav -F model=pyai-hear # -> { "text": "..." } ``` ## Quickstart, Speak (text-to-speech) ``` curl https://api.pyai.com/v1/audio/speech \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $PYAI_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"model":"pyai-speak","input":"Hello from PyAI.","voice":"voice_abc"}' \ --output speech.wav ``` `voice` is a stock voice id from `GET /v1/voices` (the curated prebuilt catalog with personas and avatars) or a cloned voice id from `/v1/voice/clones`. Omit it to use the platform default voice (`stock_dorit_en_us`). ## Quickstart, Omni (realtime voice agent) Omni is **zero-state, there is nothing to create first.** Open a WebSocket, pass your key as a subprotocol, and send the agent's behavior (voice, persona, knowledge endpoint) in the first `configure` frame: ``` wss://api.pyai.com/v1/omni?session_label=support&format=pcm16&rate=24000 Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: pyai.v1, pyai-key.$PYAI_API_KEY ``` The session is authorized by your key's **organization**; `session_label` is an **optional, opaque** tag (echoed to your own knowledge endpoint for correlation), omit it or use any value. When `session_label` equals a **`/v1/agents` profile id**, the engine loads persona, voice, and **greeting message** from that profile (turn-0 playback). `format` and `rate` are load-bearing on the connect URL (the SDK sets them). Prefix each PCM16 frame with byte `0x01`; prefix control JSON with byte `0x03`. **Optional convenience:** pre-store config via `POST /v1/agents` (including `greeting`, `consent_line`, `recordings_enabled`) and pass its id as `session_label`, or send everything inline in the post-handshake `configure` frame. Not required to connect. For reproducible eval runs, determinism controls (`seed`/`temperature`) ride the Omni session's `configure` frame, which the gateway passes through unchanged, they are honored once the engine supports them; no platform change is required. ## Scopes | Scope | Grants | | --- | --- | | `hear:transcribe` | `POST /v1/audio/transcriptions` | | `hear:stream` | `GET /v1/audio/transcriptions/stream` (WebSocket) | | `hear:configure` | `GET`/`PUT /v1/hear/vocabulary` | | `speak:synthesize` | `POST /v1/audio/speech` (Speak) | | `speak:clone` | `/v1/voice/clones` (Clone) | | `speak:design` | `/v1/voice/design` (Speak) | | `omni:session` | `/v1/omni` and `POST /v1/omni/sessions` (mint a browser session token) | | `omni:read` | `/v1/omni/calls` (Omni post-call records) | | `kb:manage` | `/v1/knowledgebases/*` (hosted knowledge bases for Omni grounding) | | `transcribe:jobs` | `/v1/transcription/jobs` | | `trace:configure` | `/v1/trace/config`, `/v1/trace/rule-packs` (Trace management) | | `trace:read` | `/v1/trace/interactions`, `/violations`, `/findings`, `/exposure` (Trace reads) | | `recap:configure` | `/v1/recap/config` (Recap management) | | `recap:configure` | `/v1/recap/crm-config` (Salesforce field mapping) | | `recap:read` | `/v1/recap/calls` (Recap reads and speaker-role corrections) | | `amd:detect` | `wss …/v1/amd/stream` (AMD realtime detection, Twilio drop-in) | | `amd:configure` | `/v1/amd/config` (AMD operating-point dial + webhook) | | `amd:read` | `/v1/amd/calls` (AMD decision records) | | `telephony:manage` | `/v1/telephony/*` (managed numbers) | `GET /v1/models`, `GET /v1/voices`, and `GET /v1/me` need no specific scope, any active key may call them. Wildcards (`hear:*`, `speak:*`, …, and the global `*`) grant every scope in their family. ## Canonical endpoints One row per product surface, endpoint, auth, required scope, and lifecycle status. **live** = generally available; **beta** = available now with features or limits that may change; **unavailable** = reserved in the contract but not active on the serving route. | Product | Endpoint | Auth | Scope | Status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Identity | `GET /v1/me` | Bearer | _any active key_ | live | | Models | `GET /v1/models` | Bearer | _any active key_ | live | | Voices | `GET /v1/voices`, `GET /v1/voices/{id}` | Bearer | _any active key_ | live | | Hear (batch) | `POST /v1/audio/transcriptions` | Bearer | `hear:transcribe` | live | | Hear (vocabulary settings) | `GET`/`PUT /v1/hear/vocabulary` | Bearer | `hear:configure` | live | | Hear (streaming) | `GET /v1/audio/transcriptions/stream` (WS) | Subprotocol | `hear:stream` | live | | Cue | `GET /v1/audio/transcriptions/stream` + grounding (WS) | Subprotocol | `hear:stream` | unavailable | | Hear (async batch) | `POST`/`GET /v1/transcription/jobs` | Bearer | `transcribe:jobs` | live | | Speak (TTS) | `POST /v1/audio/speech` | Bearer | `speak:synthesize` | live | | Clone | `GET`/`POST /v1/voice/clones` | Bearer | `speak:clone` | live | | Speak (design) | `/v1/voice/design` | Bearer | `speak:design` | live | | Omni | `wss …/v1/omni?session_label=` | Subprotocol | `omni:session` | live | | Agent profiles (optional config) | `/v1/agents`, `/v1/agents/{id}` | Bearer | `omni:session` | live | | Knowledge Bases (hosted grounding) | `/v1/knowledgebases/*`, `PUT /v1/agents/{id}/knowledgebases` | Bearer | `kb:manage` (`omni:session` for the binding) | live | | Trace (config) | `/v1/trace/config`, `/v1/trace/rule-packs` | Bearer | `trace:configure` | beta | | Trace (reads) | `/v1/trace/interactions`, `/violations`, `/findings`, `/exposure` | Bearer | `trace:read` | beta | | Recap (config) | `/v1/recap/config` | Bearer | `recap:configure` | live | | Recap (CRM) | `/v1/recap/crm-config` | Bearer | `recap:configure` | live | | Integrations (Zapier) | `/v1/integrations/events`, `/v1/integrations/zapier/hooks` | Bearer | _any active key_ | live | | Recap (reads) | `/v1/recap/calls` | Bearer | `recap:read` | live | | Omni call records | `/v1/omni/calls`, `/v1/omni/calls/{id}` | Bearer | `omni:read` | live | | AMD (stream) | `wss …/v1/amd/stream` (Twilio Media Streams drop-in) | TwiML `` (from Twilio) or subprotocol (server-side) | `amd:detect` | live | | AMD (config) | `GET`/`POST /v1/amd/config` | Bearer | `amd:configure` | live | | AMD (reads) | `GET /v1/amd/calls`, `/v1/amd/calls/{id}` | Bearer | `amd:read` | live | | Telephony | `/v1/telephony/*` | Bearer | `telephony:manage` | live | | Agents (console builder) | `https://console.pyai.com/agents` | Console session |, | beta | WebSocket surfaces authenticate with the `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: pyai.v1, pyai-key.` subprotocol pair (or `?api_key=` server-side); everything else takes the `Authorization: Bearer` key. Managed-number calls return 404 until the PyAI network is enabled for the account. ## Rate limits & billing Every key has a per-second rate limit (with burst) and a cap on concurrent realtime sessions. Exceeding either returns `429` with a `Retry-After` header. Usage is metered per minute of audio, transcription minutes (Hear), synthesized audio minutes (Speak), and realtime session minutes (Omni), and billed against your plan and credits. List prices: Hear $0.001/min (async Transcribe $0.0005/min), Speak $0.04/min, Omni $0.05/min including speech plus brain, and Agents Live Beta $0.08/min. Managed telephony is separate at $0.01/min. English Natural (`en1`) is available on Speak (streaming and buffered) and Omni; Omni acknowledges the canonical id and `voice_tier: natural`. Hindi uses the Standard-tier voices `hi1`–`hi4` on Omni; the former Hindi Natural aliases (`hi5`–`hi8`) are retired and no longer in the catalog. Standard and Natural voices are included in their product's base rate with no voice-tier add-on. The AMD API bills per **answered** call, the first 5,000 answered calls each month are free, then $0.004/answered call (no-answers, busies, and failed calls are free; AMD bundled with PyAI telephony/Omni is included at no charge). AI products (Hear, Speak, Omni) bill **per second by default**, the pulse is applied once to each meter's invoice-period total, so many short sessions are summed and rounded a single time (never minute-rounded per call), and an empty/failed call bills nothing. Coarser pulses are available as an optional enterprise override. Managed telephony minutes keep a 1-minute pulse. Per-character Speak billing is available on enterprise contracts. contact: name: PyAI url: https://pyai.com servers: - url: https://api.pyai.com description: Production security: - apiKey: [] - xApiKey: [] tags: - name: Dub description: >- Asynchronous dubbing: submit a recording, choose the languages, poll the job and download the output. - name: Omni description: >- The flagship: build an AI voice agent with one WebSocket (`GET /v1/omni`) and one `configure` frame, nothing to pre-create.
