Thanks for reaching out, Mohammed. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
The errors you are encountering indicate two potential issues: • APIConnectionError: This occurs due to connection issues, which might be caused by network problems, server-side issues, incorrect API endpoint or credentials, or firewalls blocking the connection. • APIError: This suggests that the 11labs API returned an unexpected or malformed response, possibly due to invalid data, malformed JSON, or unexpected message formats. To resolve these issues, you can: 1. Check your network connectivity and ensure there are no firewalls or proxies blocking the connection. 2. Verify that your API credentials are valid and correctly configured. 3. Ensure the API endpoint URL and connection settings are correct. 4. Log and inspect server responses to identify unexpected data formats or error codes. 5. Implement retry logic with appropriate backoff strategies to handle transient errors. If you need further assistance with debugging or specific steps, let me know. Sources: livekit-plugins/livekit-plugins-google/livekit/plugins/google/beta/realtime...
