aisha-ai 1.0.0

Python SDK for Aisha AI text-to-speech and speech-to-text

Aisha AI Python SDK

aisha-ai is the Python SDK for the Aisha AI API.

Use it when you want to add text-to-speech or speech-to-text to a Python app, backend service, script, or automation.

from aisha_ai import AishaClient

client = AishaClient(api_key="your-api-key")
result = client.tts(transcript="Salom dunyo")

print(result["audioUrl"])

• Text-to-speech (TTS)
• Speech-to-text (STT)
• TTS and STT history
• Sync TTS requests
• Async TTS requests with webhook callbacks
• Clean Python exceptions for API and network errors
• No runtime dependencies outside the Python standard library

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or newer
• An Aisha AI API key

Create an API key at space.aisha.group.

Install

pip install aisha-ai

For local development from this repository:

python -m pip install -e .

Quick Start

Set your API key:

export AISHA_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Use the SDK:

import os

from aisha_ai import AishaClient

client = AishaClient(api_key=os.environ["AISHA_API_KEY"])

result = client.tts(transcript="Salom dunyo")
print(result["audioUrl"])

API Versions

This SDK currently targets these Aisha API versions:

Feature	API version	SDK methods
TTS sync and async	API v1	tts(), tts_status(), tts_history()
STT short-audio sync	API v1	stt(), stt_history()

The Aisha API also documents STT API v2 for long-audio async transcription. The client defaults to api_version="v1", but the version is configurable:

client = AishaClient(api_key="your-api-key", api_version="v2")

You can also pass api_version=2; the SDK normalizes it to "v2". Existing SDK methods then call /api/v2/... paths. Only switch versions for endpoints that are supported by the Aisha API version you are integrating with.

Server Integration Flow

For server-to-server traffic, Aisha uses the X-Api-Key header. The SDK sends this header for every request:

X-Api-Key: your-api-key

Recommended backend integration flow:

1. Create an API key in Space.
2. Send a small test TTS or STT request.
3. Confirm the response shape your app needs.
4. For async TTS, store the returned id or task_id.
5. Use status and history endpoints to cover the full workflow.

With the SDK, that flow looks like this:

from aisha_ai import AishaClient

client = AishaClient(api_key="your-api-key")

queued = client.tts(
    transcript="Webhook orqali qaytadigan sinov matni.",
    webhook_url="https://example.com/webhooks/tts",
)

status = client.tts_status(queued["id"])
history = client.tts_history(page=1, limit=10)

Client Setup

Create a client:

from aisha_ai import AishaClient

client = AishaClient(api_key="your-api-key")

Set the response language for API messages:

client = AishaClient(api_key="your-api-key", language="uz")

Use a custom API base URL:

client = AishaClient(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_url="https://back.aisha.group",
)

Use a different API version:

client = AishaClient(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    api_version="v2",
)

Change request timeout:

client = AishaClient(api_key="your-api-key", timeout=60)

Text-to-Speech

Basic TTS

By default, TTS returns the generated audio URL. It does not download the file:

result = client.tts(transcript="Assalomu alaykum")

print(result["audioUrl"])

Save TTS Audio to a File

Pass output_path when you want the SDK to download the generated audio for you:

result = client.tts(
    transcript="Assalomu alaykum",
    output_path="outputs/assalomu-alaykum.wav",
)

print(result["audioUrl"])
print(result["output_path"])

The SDK creates parent folders when needed. If you do not pass output_path, the SDK only returns the URL and does not write anything to disk. When downloading, the SDK sends the same API key header plus a normal SDK User-Agent, so protected audio URLs can be fetched from backend services and CI jobs.

You can also download an existing audio URL later:

client.download_audio(
    url=result["audioUrl"],
    output_path="outputs/from-url.wav",
)

Uzbek TTS Options

For Uzbek TTS, you can pass model, mood, and speed:

result = client.tts(
    transcript="Assalomu alaykum",
    language="uz",
    model="Gulnoza",
    mood="Happy",
    speed=1.0,
)

print(result["audioUrl"])

Known mood values:

• Neutral
• Cheerful
• Happy
• Sad

Default model:

• Gulnoza

Speed:

• 0 uses the API default speed
• 0.5 is slower
• 1.0 is normal speed
• 2.0 is faster

The SDK sends model, mood, and speed only when language="uz".

English or Russian TTS

result = client.tts(
    transcript="Hello",
    language="en",
)

result = client.tts(
    transcript="Privet",
    language="ru",
)

Async TTS with Webhook

Pass webhook_url when you want the API to process TTS in the background:

queued = client.tts(
    transcript="Salom dunyo",
    webhook_url="https://example.com/aisha-webhook",
)

print(queued["id"])
print(queued["status"])

Check the task later:

status = client.tts_status(queued["id"])
print(status)

Use output_path only for sync TTS. Async TTS returns task information first, so there is no completed audio file to download immediately.

Speech-to-Text

Transcribe a File Path

result = client.stt(file="meeting.wav")
print(result["transcript"])

Transcribe Bytes

with open("meeting.wav", "rb") as audio:
    data = audio.read()

result = client.stt(file=data, filename="meeting.wav")
print(result["transcript"])

Enable Diarization

Use diarization when you want speaker separation:

result = client.stt(
    file="meeting.wav",
    diarization=True,
)

When diarization is enabled, the API expects audio to be at least 15 seconds long.

History

List past TTS requests:

tts_history = client.tts_history(page=1, limit=10)

List past STT requests:

stt_history = client.stt_history(page=1, limit=10)

page and limit must be positive integers.

    DEFAULT_API_VERSION,
    DEFAULT_TTS_MODEL,
    DEFAULT_TTS_MOOD,
    DEFAULT_TTS_SPEED,
    MAX_TTS_TRANSCRIPT_LENGTH,
    STT_API_VERSION,
    SUPPORTED_AUDIO_FORMATS,
    SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES,
    TTS_API_VERSION,

Error Handling

The SDK raises AishaApiError when the API returns an error response:

from aisha_ai import AishaApiError, AishaClient

client = AishaClient(api_key="your-api-key")

try:
    result = client.tts(transcript="Salom")
except AishaApiError as error:
    print(error.status)
    print(error.body)
    print(error.url)

Network failures raise AishaConnectionError. It is a subclass of AishaApiError, so one except AishaApiError block can handle both API and network failures.

For connection errors:

• error.status is 0
• error.body is None

The SDK also raises normal Python validation errors before making a request:

• TypeError for missing or wrong input types
• ValueError for invalid values, such as unsupported language or invalid page

Optional CLI

The package also installs an aisha-ai command. It is useful for quick manual tests, demos, or simple scripts. For applications, prefer importing AishaClient in Python code.

Set your API key:

export AISHA_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Generate speech:

aisha-ai tts "Salom dunyo" --out salom.wav

Generate Uzbek TTS with options:

aisha-ai tts "Assalomu alaykum" --model Gulnoza --mood Happy --speed 1.2

Run async TTS:

aisha-ai tts "Salom dunyo" --webhook https://example.com/aisha-webhook --json

Transcribe audio:

aisha-ai stt meeting.wav

Enable diarization:

aisha-ai stt meeting.wav --diarization

View history:

aisha-ai history tts --page 1 --limit 10
aisha-ai history stt --page 1 --limit 10

Print raw JSON:

aisha-ai history tts --json

Use a key without setting an environment variable:

aisha-ai tts "Salom" --api-key "your-api-key"

Development

Run the test suite:

python -m unittest discover -s tests -v

The tests use an in-process mock API server. They do not call the real Aisha AI API and do not need a real API key.

Install build tools:

python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"

Continuous Integration

Pull requests and pushes to main run GitHub Actions CI.

The test job checks:

• package installation
• Python syntax compilation
• unit tests with the local mock API server
• Python 3.8 through Python 3.13

The quality job checks:

• lint with Ruff
• formatting with Ruff format
• package type checking with mypy

The package job checks:

• wheel build
• source distribution build
• package metadata and README rendering with twine check

The real API smoke test job runs after quality checks, unit tests, and package build. It uses the repository secret AISHA_API_TEST_KEY and checks:

• a few short TTS requests with different Uzbek options
• downloading one generated audio file with output_path
• TTS history response shape
• a few edge cases

If AISHA_API_TEST_KEY is missing, the real API tests are skipped.

Publishing is separate from normal merges:

• Pull requests test the code before merge.
• Pushes to main test and build the package.
• Version tags like v1.0.1 publish to PyPI after CI passes.
• The PyPI publish job uses the GitHub secret PYPI_API_TOKEN.
• The publish job uses the protected GitHub environment named pypi.

Publishing

This repository is set up for CI-based publishing. You should not upload files from your laptop for normal releases.

One-time PyPI setup

Create a PyPI API token:

1. Log in to PyPI.
2. Open Account settings -> API tokens.
3. Create a token named aisha-python-github-actions.
4. For the first publish, use an account-scoped token because the aisha-ai project does not exist yet.
5. Add the token to this repository as the GitHub Actions secret PYPI_API_TOKEN.

After the first successful publish, replace the account-scoped token with a project-scoped token for aisha-ai.

Then configure the GitHub environment:

1. Open the repository on GitHub.
2. Go to Settings -> Environments.
3. Create an environment named pypi.
4. Add required reviewers if you want a manual approval before publishing.
5. Allow deployments only from tags that match v*.

Release flow

Before releasing:

1. Update version in pyproject.toml.
2. Update __version__ in src/aisha_ai/client.py.
3. Open a pull request.
4. Wait for CI to pass.
5. Merge to main.
6. Create and push a matching version tag.

Example:

git checkout main
git pull
git tag v1.0.1
git push origin v1.0.1

The tag starts CI again. If tests and package checks pass, the publish job uploads the package to PyPI.

Manual local build

Build the package:

python -m build

Check the package:

python -m twine check dist/*

Upload to TestPyPI manually if needed:

python -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*

Upload to PyPI manually only if CI publishing is unavailable:

python -m twine upload dist/*
