## 📋 API Operations Overview

### 🎯 User Operations
These are the primary operations for API users who want to integrate Vexa's transcription capabilities into their applications. This includes bot management, accessing transcripts, and configuring webhooks.

### 🔧 Admin Operations (Self-hosting only)
These operations are exclusively for users who self-host Vexa and need to manage user accounts, create API tokens, and perform administrative tasks. Most API users will not need these operations.

Get your API key in 3 clicks at [www.vexa.ai](https://www.vexa.ai) - no waiting, no approval process!

### 2. Install the Client

```bash

## 🎯 Quick Start Example

```python
from vexa_client import VexaClient

# Initialize the client
client = VexaClient(
    api_key="your-api-key-here",            # For user operations
)

meeting_id = "abc-def-ghi"

# Request a bot to join a meeting
meeting = client.request_bot(
    platform="google_meet",
    native_meeting_id=meeting_id,
    bot_name="Vexa Bot",
    language="en"  # Optional - auto-detected if not provided
)

# get meeting transcript during or after the meeting

# Option 1: Get latest meeting by platform + native_meeting_id (backward compatible)
transcript = client.get_transcript("google_meet", "abc-defg-hij")

# Option 2: Get specific meeting by database ID (new feature)
transcript = client.get_transcript("google_meet", "abc-defg-hij", meeting_id=123)


# switch to translation to a different language instead of transcription during meeting
client.update_bot_config(
    platform="google_meet",
    native_meeting_id=meeting_id,
    language='es'
)


#stop the bot
client.stop_bot(platform="google_meet",native_meeting_id=meeting_id)

# delete meeting transcription for vexa
client.delete_meeting(
    platform="google_meet",
    native_meeting_id=meeting_id,
)
```

## 🌍 Language Detection & Translation Workflows

### Auto Language Detection
```python
# No language specified - Vexa automatically detects what's being spoken
meeting = client.request_bot(
    platform="google_meet",
    native_meeting_id="abc-def-ghi",
    bot_name="Smart Bot"
    # language not specified - auto-detection enabled!
)
```

### 📝 Transcription in Specific Language
```python
# Transcribe in specific language (if you know what will be spoken)
meeting = client.request_bot(
    platform="google_meet",
    native_meeting_id="abc-def-ghi",
    language="es",  # Spanish transcription
    task="transcribe"
)
```

### 🔄 Real-time Translation
```python
# Translate everything to English in real-time
meeting = client.request_bot(
    platform="google_meet",
    native_meeting_id="abc-def-ghi",
    language="pt",  # Target language (Portuguese)
    task="translate"  # Translation mode
)
```

## 🔔 Webhook Automation for Post-Meeting Workflows

Set up webhooks to get notified instantly when meetings end - perfect for automated post-meeting processing:

```python
# Set up webhook to receive meeting completion notifications
client.set_webhook_url("https://your-server.com/webhook/vexa")
```
