Create web calls from client

Hi, when I checked the API Docs I could only find the /call/phone endpoint which requires a real phone number. When I checked the Web SDK I stumbled upon /call/web, this endpoint is undocumented though. My plan was to modify the web sdk to allow joining a Daily meeting by overriding the webcallUrl it uses internally. Is this way supported, recommended and is there possibly any easier way

The /call/web/call/web endpoint is not recommended for direct use. It's intended to be used via the Web SDK or other provided tools, rather than calling it directly via custom modifications support"Create Web Call" endpoint no longer documented supportI'm having trouble connecting into the webcall URL created by "Create Web Call" .

To create and manage web calls, you should use the Web SDK. Here is how you can get started with the Web SDK:

**Installation**:```bash yarn add @vapi-ai/web``` or```bash npm install @vapi-ai/web```
**Usage**:```javascript import Vapi from '@vapi-ai/web'; const vapi = new Vapi('your-public-key'); vapi.start({ model: { provider: "openai", model: "gpt-3.5-turbo", messages: [ { role: "system", content: "You are an assistant.", }, ], }, voice: { provider: "11labs", voiceId: "burt", }, });```
**Listening to Events**:```javascript vapi.on('call-start', () => { console.log('Call has started'); }); vapi.on('call-end', () => { console.log('Call has ended'); }); vapi.on('message', (message) => { console.log(message); });```

For more detailed information, you can refer to the Web SDK documentation (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) .

Answer

Directly using the /call/web/call/web endpoint is not documented or recommended. The intended approach is through the Web SDK. If you choose to proceed without the Web SDK, you may encounter issues with support or stability that aren't addressed in the documentation.
