Server URLs give Vapi a location to send real-time conversation data (as well as query for data Vapi needs).

Server URLs allow your application to receive data & communicate with Vapi during conversations. Conversation events can include:

  • Status Updates: updates on the status of a call
  • Transcript Updates: call transcripts
  • Function Calls: payloads delivered when your assistant wants certain actions executed
  • Assistant Requests: in certain circumstances, Vapi may ping your server to get dynamic configuration for an assistant handling a specific call
  • End of Call Report: call summary data at the end of a call
  • Hang Notifications: get notified when your assistant fails to reply for a certain amount of time

In our quickstart guides we learned how to setup a basic back-and-forth conversation with a Vapi assistant.

To build more complex & custom applications, we’re going to need to get real-time conversation data to our backend. This is where server URLs come in.

If you’re familiar with functional programming, Server URLs are like callback functions. But instead of specifying a function to get data back on, we specify a URL to a server (to POST data back to).
