### Start Vapi Call with Assistant Object

Source: https://github.com/vapiai/client-sdk-python/blob/main/README.rst

Initiates a new Vapi call by invoking the `start` method and providing a detailed assistant configuration object. This allows for dynamic setup of the call's behavior, including initial messages, context, model, voice, and custom functions with their parameters.

```python
assistant = {
  'firstMessage': 'Hey, how are you?',
  'context': 'You are a shopping assistant...', 
  'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
  'voice': 'jennifer-playht',
  "recordingEnabled": True,
  "interruptionsEnabled": False,
  "functions": [
    {
      "name": "setColor",
      "description": "Used to set the color",
      "parameters": { 
          "type": "object",
          "properties": { 
              "color": { 
              "type": "string" 
              } 
          }
      }
    }
  ]
}

vapi.start(assistant=assistant)
```

### Install Vapi Python SDK

Source: https://github.com/vapiai/client-sdk-python/blob/main/README.rst

Instructions to install the Vapi Python SDK using pip, the standard Python package installer. This command fetches the latest version of the SDK from PyPI.

```bash
pip install vapi_python
```

--------------------------------

### Start Vapi Call with Assistant ID

Source: https://github.com/vapiai/client-sdk-python/blob/main/README.rst

Initiates a new Vapi call by invoking the `start` method and providing an existing `assistant_id`. This method is suitable when you have pre-configured assistants on the Vapi platform.

```python
vapi.start(assistant_id='your-assistant-id')
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize Vapi Client

Source: https://github.com/vapiai/client-sdk-python/blob/main/README.rst

Demonstrates how to create a new instance of the Vapi class. Your Vapi API Key must be passed as a parameter to the constructor for authentication and authorization.

```python
vapi = Vapi(api_key='your-api-key')
```

--------------------------------

### Import Vapi Class

Source: https://github.com/vapiai/client-sdk-python/blob/main/README.rst

Shows how to import the Vapi class from the `vapi_python` package. This is the first step required to interact with the Vapi API using the SDK.

```python
from vapi_python import Vapi
```

--------------------------------

### Override Assistant Parameters for Vapi Call

Source: https://github.com/vapiai/client-sdk-python/blob/main/README.rst

Demonstrates how to modify existing assistant parameters or set variable values for a Vapi call using the `assistant_overrides` parameter. This allows for dynamic adjustments to assistant behavior, such as disabling recording or injecting custom data like a user's name.

```python
assistant_overrides = {
   "recordingEnabled": False,
   "variableValues": {
      "name": "John"
   }
}

vapi.start(assistant_id='your-assistant-id', assistant_overrides=assistant_overrides)
```

--------------------------------

### Stop Active Vapi Session

Source: https://github.com/vapiai/client-sdk-python/blob/main/README.rst

Terminates the current Vapi session. Calling this method will stop any ongoing recording and close the connection, ending the active call.

```python
vapi.stop()
```
