Speak API Debugging and Diagnostics Bundle

v20260423
speak-debug-bundle
A comprehensive diagnostic bundle designed for developers integrating with the Speak API. It systematically collects critical information, including authentication status, audio format validation (checking codecs, sample rates, and file size using ffprobe), and network connectivity tests for both Speak and OpenAI endpoints. Use this tool when troubleshooting complex language learning integration issues or verifying API setup.

Overview

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

Next Steps

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.
