API preview — early access only
Parlo Developer Platform

Build multilingual voice agents in minutes

The Parlo API gives you programmatic access to real-time language detection, voice synthesis, call orchestration, and transcription across 50+ languages. One integration. Every caller, understood.

01 / Quick Start

Up and running in 5 lines

Install the SDK, initialize your agent with the languages you support, and define how calls should be handled. Parlo takes care of language detection, voice synthesis, and call routing automatically.

javascript
import { Parlo } from '@parlo/sdk';

const agent = new Parlo({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  languages: ['en', 'es', 'hi', 'fr', 'pt'],
  voice: 'natural',
});

agent.onCall(async (call) => {
  // Language auto-detected from first utterance
  console.log(`Handling call in ${call.language}`);

  await call.respond();
});

agent.listen({ port: 3000 });

Authentication

All API requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Your API key is scoped to a single workspace and can be rotated from the dashboard.

shell
curl https://api.parlo.ai/v1/calls \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pk_live_••••••••••••" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

03 / REST API

Endpoints

Base URL: https://api.parlo.ai/v1. All requests and responses use JSON. Errors follow RFC 7807 (Problem Details).

Calls

POST
/v1/calls
Initiate an outbound call. Specify the destination number, agent config, and optional metadata to attach to the transcript.
calls:write
GET
/v1/calls/:id
Retrieve the full call record including duration, language detected, disposition, and a link to the recording.
calls:read

Transcripts

GET
/v1/transcripts/:id
Fetch the full transcript with speaker labels, timestamps, confidence scores, and translated English copy.
transcripts:read

Agents

POST
/v1/agents
Create a new agent configuration. Define languages, voice persona, system prompt, and escalation rules.
agents:write
GET
/v1/agents/:id
Retrieve an existing agent config. Returns the full configuration object including language list, voice settings, and webhook URLs.
agents:read

Example: initiate a call

Start an outbound call with a specific agent configuration. The agentId maps to a config you created via POST /v1/agents.

javascript
const response = await fetch('https://api.parlo.ai/v1/calls', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.PARLO_API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    to:      '+1-555-867-5309',
    agentId: 'agt_01hxv2',
    metadata: { customerId: 'cus_abc123' },
  }),
});

const { callId, status } = await response.json();
// { callId: 'call_9xkz3m', status: 'dialing' }
04 / SDKs

Official SDKs

Native SDK clients reduce boilerplate, handle retries and pagination, and provide typed interfaces for all request and response objects.

Node.js coming soon
Full TypeScript support. Works in Bun, Deno, and edge runtimes.
Python coming soon
Async-first with httpx. Pydantic models for type safety.
Go coming soon
Idiomatic Go client with context propagation and structured errors.

Until SDKs ship, the REST API is fully production-ready. Early access partners using the raw API get priority SDK beta access.
