Getting Your API Key

1. Sign up for an API subscription at developer.thisispamela.com
2. Navigate to Settings → API Access
3. Set up billing through Stripe
4. Click "Create API Key"
5. Save immediately - the full key (starts with pk_live_) is only shown once

Trust & security

• Official packages: npm @thisispamela, PyPI thisispamela — verify these exact names to avoid typosquatting.
• Before going live: Use a restricted or test API key when trying the skill; enable billing alerts in your account; do not put production keys (pk_live_...) in public configs or logs.
• Webhooks: Always validate the X-Pamela-Signature header and secure your endpoint; see SDK docs for verification.
• Data: Call audio and transcripts are sent to Pamela and may be stored or forwarded to your webhooks; review privacy and data practices (or contact [e-mail]).
• Costs: Monitor usage and billing after enabling; only connected minutes are charged at $0.10/min.

Quick Start

Note: Phone numbers must be in E.164 format (e.g., [phone]).

JavaScript

import { PamelaClient } from '@thisispamela/sdk';

const client = new PamelaClient({ apiKey: 'pk_live_...' });

const call = await client.createCall({
  to: '[phone]',
  task: 'Call the pharmacy and check if my prescription is ready',
  voice: 'female',
  agent_name: 'Pamela',
});

const status = await client.getCall(call.id);
console.log(status.transcript);

Python

from pamela import PamelaClient

client = PamelaClient(api_key="pk_live_...")

call = client.create_call(
    to="[phone]",
    task="Call the pharmacy and check if my prescription is ready",
    voice="female",
    agent_name="Pamela",
)

status = client.get_call(call["id"])
print(status["transcript"])

CLI

export PAMELA_API_KEY="pk_live_..."

thisispamela create-call \
  --to "[phone]" \
  --task "Call the pharmacy and check if my prescription is ready"
