Using Deepgram Conversational STT from the Go SDK

When to use this product

Use this skill when someone asks for Flux or conversational STT v2 in the Go SDK.

Current repo status: this SDK snapshot does not implement a first-class listen/v2 client.

Use a different skill when:

• v1 Listen is acceptable (deepgram-go-speech-to-text)
• voice-agent runtime is the real target (deepgram-go-voice-agent)

Authentication

If you hand-roll a raw WebSocket client, it still uses the same Deepgram credentials.

export DEEPGRAM_API_KEY="your_api_key"

Quick start

There is no supported pkg/client/listen/v2 constructor in this repo today.

What you can do instead:

• use deepgram-go-speech-to-text for supported listen v1 flows
• if you must prototype v2, start from the low-level shared WebSocket plumbing and path/version hooks already in the repo:
  • pkg/client/common/v1/websocket.go
  • pkg/client/interfaces/v1/types-client.go
  • pkg/api/version/live-version.go
  • pkg/api/version/constants.go

Treat that path as a manual integration, not an SDK-supported product surface.

Key parameters

• unsupported in current public package layout
  • no pkg/client/listen/v2
  • no pkg/api/listen/v2
• possible raw integration hooks
  • client host/version/path overrides from the shared client options
  • shared WS lifecycle and reconnect logic in pkg/client/common/v1/websocket.go

Gotchas

1. Be explicit: conversational STT v2 is not yet implemented as a first-class Go SDK client here.
2. Do not invent listen/v2 package paths, constructors, or examples.
3. If a task requires production-ready Flux support, point to raw API usage or another SDK until this repo adds first-class coverage.

Example files in this repo

• No dedicated conversational STT v2 examples exist in this repo.
• For shared WS patterns, inspect tests/edge_cases/keepalive/main.go and tests/edge_cases/reconnect_client/main.go.
