Using Deepgram Management API (JavaScript / TypeScript SDK)

Administrative REST endpoints under /v1/projects, /v1/models, and related project subresources.

When to use this product

• Projects: list, get, update, delete, leave.
• Keys: list, get, create, delete API keys.
• Members + invites: inspect members, update scopes, create/delete invites.
• Usage + billing: inspect requests, usage, usage breakdown, balances, purchases, billing breakdown.
• Models: list global models and project-scoped models.
• Agent think models: discover available model providers for Voice Agent think settings.

Use a different skill when:

• You want to run a live websocket agent session → deepgram-js-voice-agent.
• You want transcription or synthesis calls rather than project/admin APIs → product-specific skills.

Authentication

require("dotenv").config();

const { DeepgramClient } = require("@deepgram/sdk");

const deepgramClient = new DeepgramClient({
  apiKey: process.env.DEEPGRAM_API_KEY,
});

Most examples also rely on process.env.DEEPGRAM_PROJECT_ID for project-scoped calls.

Quick start — projects + models

From examples/13-management-projects.ts, examples/19-management-models.ts, and examples/32-management-project-models.ts:

const projectId = process.env.DEEPGRAM_PROJECT_ID;

const projects = await deepgramClient.manage.v1.projects.list();
console.log("Projects:", JSON.stringify(projects, null, 2));

const project = await deepgramClient.manage.v1.projects.get(projects.projects[0].project_id);
await deepgramClient.manage.v1.projects.update(project.project_id, {
  name: "Naomi's Sandbox",
});

const models = await deepgramClient.manage.v1.models.list();
const projectModels = await deepgramClient.manage.v1.projects.models.list(
  projectId,
  { include_outdated: false },
);

Quick start — keys / members / invites / usage / billing

Based on examples/14-18:

const projectId = process.env.DEEPGRAM_PROJECT_ID;

await deepgramClient.manage.v1.projects.keys.list(projectId);
await deepgramClient.manage.v1.projects.members.list(projectId);
await deepgramClient.manage.v1.projects.members.invites.create(projectId, {
  email: "user@example.com",
  scope: "member",
});
await deepgramClient.manage.v1.projects.requests.list(projectId, {});
await deepgramClient.manage.v1.projects.usage.get(projectId, {});
await deepgramClient.manage.v1.projects.billing.balances.list(projectId);

Think-model discovery for Voice Agent:

await deepgramClient.agent.v1.settings.think.models.list();

Key parameters / API surface

• Projects: client.manage.v1.projects.list/get/update/delete/leave.
• Keys: client.manage.v1.projects.keys.list/create/get/delete.
• Members: client.manage.v1.projects.members.list/delete and members.scopes.list/update.
• Invites: client.manage.v1.projects.members.invites.list/create/delete.
• Requests + usage: projects.requests.list/get, projects.usage.get, projects.usage.breakdown.list, projects.usage.fields.list.
• Billing: projects.billing.balances.*, projects.billing.breakdown.list, projects.billing.fields.list, projects.billing.purchases.list.
• Models: client.manage.v1.models.list/get and client.manage.v1.projects.models.list/get.

Limitations

The current JS SDK does not expose persisted Voice Agent configuration CRUD endpoints. The repo surfaces client.agent.v1.settings.think.models.list() for discovery, but not voice_agent.configurations.*-style helpers.

API reference (layered)

1. In-repo reference: reference.md → Manage V1 Models, Manage V1 Projects, Manage V1 Projects Keys, Members, Models, Requests, Usage, Billing *, plus Agent V1 Settings Think Models.
2. Canonical OpenAPI (REST): https://developers.deepgram.com/openapi.yaml
3. Canonical AsyncAPI (WSS): https://developers.deepgram.com/asyncapi.yaml
4. Context7: library ID /llmstxt/developers_deepgram_llms_txt
5. Product docs:

Gotchas

1. Namespace depth matters. Most admin calls live under client.manage.v1.projects.*, not on the root client.
2. Project-scoped and global models differ. /v1/models returns public models; /v1/projects/{id}/models can include private/custom access.
3. projects.usage.get(...) is marked deprecated in source. Prefer projects.usage.breakdown.list(...) for richer reporting.
4. Destructive operations are real. delete, leave, member removal, and key deletion are not safe example calls.
5. Management APIs are not the same as regional STT routing. examples/33-configuration-eu-endpoint.ts explicitly notes management stays on the default US endpoint.
6. Returned IDs can be nested. Example key lookup uses keys.api_keys[0].api_key.api_key_id; inspect real response shape before hard-coding paths.
7. No persisted agent config helpers are present. If you need Voice Agent configuration CRUD, use raw HTTP for now.
