Overview

You will:
  • Install the SDK
  • Mint a short-lived realtime session token on your backend
  • Subscribe to realtime call events from the browser
If you want the extended version, use:
  • /guides/getting-started-classic

​
1. Install the SDK

npm install @sippet-ai/sdk-js

​
2. Mint a realtime session token on your backend

Use your secret key server-side. 
const response = await fetch("https://api.sippet.ai/api/realtime/session", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "content-type": "application/json",
    "x-api-key": process.env.SIPPET_SECRET_KEY!,
  },
});

if (!response.ok) throw new Error("Failed to mint realtime session token");

const { token, expires_at } = await response.json();
return { token, expiresAt: expires_at };

​
3. Connect the browser to realtime events

import { initSocket, joinEventsChannel } from "@sippet-ai/sdk-js";

const { token } = await fetch("/api/sippet/realtime-session", {
  method: "POST",
  credentials: "include",
}).then((r) => r.json());

initSocket({
  baseUrl: "https://api.sippet.ai",
  socketOptions: {
    params: {
      session_token: token,
    },
  },
});

const channel = joinEventsChannel();

channel.on("incoming_call", (payload) => console.log("incoming_call", payload));
channel.on("call_answered", (payload) => console.log("call_answered", payload));
channel.on("call_ended", (payload) => console.log("call_ended", payload));

​
4. Refresh token before expiry

  • Session tokens are short-lived.
  • Re-mint on reconnect or auth failure.
  • Keep secret keys out of browser code.
