The text discusses how to enable developers to process contextual data in their applications using the Symbl platform's APIs, specifically for real-time and streaming applications. The post aims to provide a step-by-step guide on setting up a development environment with Node.js, installing necessary dependencies, and running example code to interact with the APIs. The authors highlight the simplicity of the Async API, which follows a standard pattern of login, process communication, check status, and obtain intelligence, while also emphasizing the flexibility of modifying existing examples to create more complex results and interactions between APIs. Additionally, the Streaming API is introduced as an even more direct approach, requiring only three steps: setting up JSON configuration, logging in, and attaching audio streams to WebSockets. The post concludes with a preview of future content, including a real-world project example that incorporates audio and/or video from streaming platforms.
