# Deepgram Install & Auth ## Current State !`npm list @deepgram/sdk 2>/dev/null || echo '@deepgram/sdk not installed'` !`pip show deepgram-sdk 2>/dev/null | grep Version || echo 'deepgram-sdk (Python) not installed'` ## Overview Install the Deepgram SDK and configure API key authentication. Deepgram provides speech-to-text (Nova-3, Nova-2), text-to-speech (Aura-2), and audio intelligence APIs. The JS SDK uses `createClient()` (v3/v4) or `new DeepgramClient()` (v5+). ## Prerequisites - Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+ - Deepgram account at [console.deepgram.com](https://console.deepgram.com) - API key from Console > Settings > API Keys ## Instructions ### Step 1: Install SDK **Node.js (v3/v4 — current stable):** ```bash npm install @deepgram/sdk # or pnpm add @deepgram/sdk ``` **Python:** ```bash pip install deepgram-sdk ``` ### Step 2: Configure API Key ```bash # Option A: Environment variable (recommended) export DEEPGRAM_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" # Option B: .env file (add .env to .gitignore) echo 'DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your-api-key-here' >> .env ``` **Never hardcode keys.** Use `dotenv` for local dev, secret managers in production. ### Step 3: Initialize Client (TypeScript) ```typescript import { createClient } from '@deepgram/sdk'; // Reads DEEPGRAM_API_KEY from env automatically const deepgram = createClient(process.env.DEEPGRAM_API_KEY!); ``` **SDK v5+ uses a different constructor:** ```typescript import { DeepgramClient } from '@deepgram/sdk'; const deepgram = n...
