Quickstart
Create a key, make a request, and stream the response.
Get an API key
Create a key in the console under API keys. Keys look like sk_live_… and are shown once at creation; store them in a secret manager or environment variable, never in client code or version control.
export SVARA_API_KEY="sk_live_..."Make your first request
The svara-voice SDK is the shortest path. If you already use the OpenAI SDK, point it at the Svara base URL instead — the request shape is the same:
pip install git+https://github.com/kenpath-labs/svara-python.gitStream it
Set stream: true and consume chunks as they arrive; with pcm output the first bytes land in a few hundred milliseconds rather than after the whole clip is generated. If the text comes from an LLM, use the WebSocket input-streaming API instead — it accepts text while the model is still writing, so synthesis doesn’t wait for a complete sentence:
Format choices, playback, and telephony output are on the Streaming page.
Explore voices and languages
These endpoints are public, no key required:
GET /v1/voices: the current voice roster, each with apreview_urlGET /v1/languages: all 80 supported languages, for building pickersGET /v1/models: available models
