Using the Topic Async API

This is a simple main-style sample application using Symbl's Async API. This application will post an audio file to the platform and obtain the Topic results when they become available.

Getting started

Open .env file and add your APP_ID, APP_SECRET, SUMMARY_EMAIL. You can get APP_ID and APP_SECRET from https://platform.symbl.ai

Most of the heavy lifting is done in the common library which you can read about its plumbing here.

Async Conversation Processing

Obtaining intelligence on Topics using the Async API is pretty straight forward, the steps are:

1. Login
2. Post the audio file and wait for the Symbl platform to process it
3. Retrieve the Topics

async function main() {
  /*
    Login and get token
  */
  var token = await common.Login();

  /*
    Post the audio file to the Symbl platform
  */
  var result = await post.Post(token, "All_I_Really_Want.mp3");

  /*
    Process Topics for the audio file
  */
  var topics = await intelligence.Topics(token, result.conversationId);
  output = JSON.parse(topics);
  console.log(output);
}

main();
