Updated and Interactive Docs

We’ve given Symbl.ai Docs a new look & feel, with many improvements. Check out the updated Get Started Guide, and the new interactive API Reference where you can make API calls directly from docs.

Updated docs include:

• Authenticate
• Process a Conversation
• Generate Conversation Intelligence

New API Explorer

Introducing the API Explorer, a REST API interface that gives you the ability to test and explore APIs with a just few clicks. Simply log in to platform.symbl.ai, then complete round-trip API requests and responses directly in the platform.

New Symbl.ai Platform Experience

The new platform experience enables you to process conversation data, test APIs, and explore all of our features without writing a single line of code.

• Sign up or log in to get started at platform.symbl.ai.
• Read more in Get to Know the Platform.

Web SDK new release: Version 1.0.5 of the Symbl Web SDK is now available.

• Validation of keys in StreamingAPIConnectionConfig when passed into startProcessing.
• Removed or updated vulnerable NPM dependencies.

Web SDK new release: Version 1.0.4 of the Symbl Web SDK is now available.

• Added extra validation to startProcessing arguments.
• Check if WebSocket is connected when making a modifySampleRate call. If not, throw a NoConnectionError.
• Added reconnection support. If reconnectOnError is set to true in the SymblConfig, Web SDK attempts to reconnect after a break in connection. A break in connection is determined after thirty (30) seconds of not receiving any expected data from the WebSocket.
• Added logLevel to SymblConfig.
• Added separate methods to handle <video> and <audio> elements in audiostreams. Web SDK now has attachAudioSourceElement, detachAudioSourceElement, updateAudioSourceElement, attachVideoSourceElement, detachVideoSourceElement, and updateVideoSourceElement. Previous versions allowed either <video> or <audio> elements to be passed into the same attachAudioSourceElement, but going forward only the new separate corresponding methods may be used depending on element type.
• Added getConversationId() to StreamingAPIConnection and SubscribeAPIConnection. These will only be populated after the conversation_created event has been fired. For more information on the conversation_created event, see Events and Callbacks.
• Added a Conversation object which can also be used to get the conversation ID. This object is attached to StreamingAPIConnection and SubscribeAPIConnection as connection.conversation. Going forward, the Conversation object will integrate with Conversation APIs.
