This section outlines the required inputs and expected outputs of each endpoint, along with describing all optional parameters. API usage examples are also included.
All API endpoints are authenticated using API Keys. These can either be passed directly to the URL or they can be defined in an environment file.Passing Directly:
VALENCE_API_KEY= your_api_key # Required: Your Valence API keyVALENCE_DISCRETE_URL= https://discrete-api-url # Optional: Discrete audio endpointVALENCE_ASYNCH_URL= https://asynch-api-url # Optional: Asynch audio endpoint VALENCE_LOG_LEVEL= info # Optional: debug, info, warn, error
