API Playground

Build and launch a real bot from the dashboard — no code required

View as Markdown

The API Playground is a visual bot builder inside the dashboard. It walks the full create_bot surface in 10 steps — Core, Identity, Streams, Record, Transcribe, Callback, Timeouts, Schedule, Meta, and Agent — and sends live requests to the real API with one of your keys.

The Bot Builder Playground: 10-step configuration on the left, live bot preview on the right

Why it’s useful even if you live in code:

  • See the request you’re building. The Code toggle shows the exact JSON payload for your current configuration — copy it straight into your integration. Every option in the builder maps 1:1 to a Create Bot field.
  • Preview before you send. The Bot Preview pane shows what the bot will look like in the meeting (name, platform) as you configure it.
  • Explore the long tail. Per-participant streams, transcription providers, callbacks, timeout tuning, scheduling, custom attributes, and MIA agent attachment are all discoverable as steps instead of buried in a schema.

A good first session

  1. Get an API key at app.meetstream.ai/api-key (the Playground’s token dropdown lists your keys).
  2. Open meet.new to spin up a test Google Meet you host.
  3. Paste the link into Core, name your bot, hit send — then admit the bot from the meeting.
  4. Flip to Code and copy the request into your codebase.

From there, the quickstart covers fetching the recording, and webhooks close the loop on events.

Prefer a terminal?

Everything the Playground does, the MeetStream CLI does with flags (meetstream bot create ... -t deepgram -c <webhook>), and the MCP server does as agent tools.
