Speak Debug Bundle

Overview

Collect diagnostic information for Speak API issues: auth verification, audio format validation, session inspection, and network testing.

Prerequisites

• Completed

  speak-install-auth

  setup
• Valid API credentials configured
• ffmpeg installed for audio processing

Instructions

Current State

!

node --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'N/A'

!

ffmpeg -version 2>/dev/null | head -1 || echo 'ffmpeg not installed'

Step 1: Auth Diagnostic

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
echo "=== Speak Debug Bundle ==="
echo "Time: $(date -u)"

echo -e "\n--- Auth Check ---"
STATUS=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPEAK_API_KEY" \
  https://api.speak.com/v1/languages)
echo "API Key Status: HTTP $STATUS"
[ "$STATUS" = "200" ] && echo "  Auth: OK" || echo "  Auth: FAILED"

echo -e "\n--- Environment ---"
echo "SPEAK_API_KEY set: $([ -n \"${SPEAK_API_KEY:-}\" ] && echo 'yes' || echo 'no')"
echo "SPEAK_APP_ID set: $([ -n \"${SPEAK_APP_ID:-}\" ] && echo 'yes' || echo 'no')"

Step 2: Audio Format Validator

import { execSync } from 'child_process';

function validateAudio(filePath: string): { valid: boolean; issues: string[] } {
  const issues: string[] = [];
  try {
    const info = JSON.parse(execSync(
      `ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_streams "${filePath}"`,
      { encoding: 'utf-8' }
    ));
    const stream = info.streams[0];

    if (stream.codec_name !== 'pcm_s16le') issues.push(`Codec: ${stream.codec_name} (need pcm_s16le)`);
    if (parseInt(stream.sample_rate) !== 16000) issues.push(`Sample rate: ${stream.sample_rate} (need 16000)`);
    if (stream.channels !== 1) issues.push(`Channels: ${stream.channels} (need 1/mono)`);

    const size = parseInt(execSync(`stat -f%z "${filePath}"`, { encoding: 'utf-8' }));
    if (size > 25 * 1024 * 1024) issues.push(`File too large: ${(size/1024/1024).toFixed(1)}MB (max 25MB)`);
    if (size < 1000) issues.push('File too small — may be empty or corrupt');
  } catch (e) {
    issues.push(`Cannot read file: ${e}`);
  }
  return { valid: issues.length === 0, issues };
}

Step 3: Network Connectivity

echo -e "\n--- Network ---"
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "API: HTTP %{http_code} in %{time_total}s\n" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPEAK_API_KEY" \
  https://api.speak.com/v1/health

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "OpenAI: HTTP %{http_code} in %{time_total}s\n" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
  https://api.openai.com/v1/models

Output

• Bundle implementation complete
• Speak API integration verified
• Production-ready patterns applied

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
401 Unauthorized	Invalid API key	Verify SPEAK_API_KEY environment variable
429 Rate Limited	Too many requests	Wait Retry-After seconds, use backoff
Audio format error	Wrong codec/sample rate	Convert to WAV 16kHz mono with ffmpeg
Session expired	Timeout after 30 min	Start a new conversation session

Examples

Basic: Apply debug bundle with default configuration for a standard Speak integration.

Advanced: Customize for production with error recovery, monitoring, and team-specific requirements.
