Four-step guide to API integration
For SMB developers who need to quickly integrate voice capabilities, Voxtral's API service offers a cost-effective solution for as low as $0.001 per minute:
- Authentication preparation: Register for API keys in the Mistral AI platform, it is recommended to create access credentials for different environments
- endpoint selection strategy: Reduce costs by choosing transcription-only endpoints for business scenarios that only require transcription; call intelligent understanding endpoints for semantic interactions.
- Request Building Techniques: The audio file is recommended to be in FLAC/WAV format, and the very long audio is processed through chunked transmission; the questioning parameters need to be encapsulated in JSON format.
- Response processing optimization: When parsing the returned JSON data, note that the timestamp field can be used to realize timeline positioning, and the summary field supports multi-length adjustment.
Typical application cases include automatic generation of voice work orders in customer service systems (processing efficiency increased by 60%), real-time generation of course summaries in online education platforms, etc.
