when a POST request hits the /api/token
endpoint. Here’s the scoop:
1. Request Handling: It grabs the incoming request and pulls out important details like API keys and participant info.
2. Validation: It double-checks that all the necessary environment variables (like LIVEKIT_API_KEY
and LIVEKIT_API_SECRET
) are set and that the request body has everything it needs. If something’s missing, it lets you know with an error.
3. Room Creation: It creates a unique room name using `Math.random().toString(36).slice(7)`—pretty neat, right?
4. Access Token Generation: Using the LiveKit Server SDK, it makes an AccessToken
that gives permissions (like joining the room and publishing) through VideoGrant
.
5. Response: Finally, it sends back the access token and room details so the client can smoothly connect to LiveKit and hop into the room.
So basically, this setup creates rooms on the fly based on what comes in, making sure everything’s validated and secure with the right tokens. If you have any questions or want to dive deeper, just let me know—I’m here to help!

08/11/2025, 4:25 PM/api/token
) that generates an access token for the room. You can use the LiveKit Server SDK to make this token, making sure it includes permissions such as roomJoin
and canPublish
.
2. Frontend Button Click: Next, add an event listener to your 'start' button. When someone clicks it, your frontend will ask the backend for that access token.
3. Connect to the Room: Then, use the LiveKit client SDK to connect to the room by passing the access token and room details to the connect
method.
4. Handle Room Events: Finally, add some event listeners to keep an eye on room events like disconnections or errors, so you can manage the session smoothly.
Here’s a quick example of how your button click handler might look on the frontend:
document.getElementById('startButton').addEventListener('click', async () => {
const response = await fetch('/api/token?room=myRoom&username=myUser');
const data = await response.json();
if (data.token) {
const room = new LiveKit.Room();
await room.connect(process.env.LIVEKIT_SERVER_URL, data.token);
console.log('Connected to room:', room.name);
}
});
Just a heads up—make sure your backend keeps those API keys and secrets safe, and your frontend handles connecting and disconnecting from rooms properly. If you run into any bumps, I’m here to help!

file so it smoothly handles both room/username
and roomName/identity/name/metadata
patterns, here’s a friendly example you can follow:
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import { AccessToken } from 'livekit-server-sdk';
import type { AccessTokenOptions, VideoGrant } from 'livekit-server-sdk';
const apiKey = process.env.LK_API_KEY!;
const apiSecret = process.env.LK_API_SECRET!;
const createToken = async (userInfo: AccessTokenOptions, grant: VideoGrant) => {
const at = new AccessToken(apiKey, apiSecret, userInfo);
at.addGrant(grant);
return await at.toJwt();
};
export async function GET(req: NextRequest) {
try {
const { searchParams } = new URL(req.url);
// We’re supporting both patterns here:
// - room/username (common from tutorials)
// - roomName/identity/name/metadata (your current frontend)
const room = searchParams.get('room') ?? searchParams.get('roomName') ?? undefined;
const username = searchParams.get('username') ?? searchParams.get('identity') ?? undefined;
const name = searchParams.get('name') ?? undefined;
const metadata = searchParams.get('metadata') ?? undefined;
if (!room) throw Error('Missing room/roomName');
if (!username) throw Error('Missing username/identity');
const grant: VideoGrant = {
room,
roomJoin: true,
canPublish: true,
canPublishData: true,
canSubscribe: true,
canUpdateOwnMetadata: true,
};
const token = await createToken({ identity: username, name: name ?? undefined, metadata: metadata ?? undefined }, grant);
// Here’s your token, ready to go!
return NextResponse.json({ token });
} catch (e: any) {
return new NextResponse(e.message ?? 'Error generating token', { status: 500 });
}
}
What’s great about this?
• It plays nicely with both room/username
and roomName/identity/name/metadata
by checking for multiple parameter names.
• It double-checks that the essentials (room
and username
) are there, and lets you know if something’s missing.
• Gives you a token packed with permissions like roomJoin
, canPublish
, and canSubscribe
.
• Returns the token in a neat JSON response, so your frontend can grab it easily.
All in all, this approach keeps things compatible whether you’re using older or newer frontend setups, while making sure your token generation stays secure and reliable.stocky-tailor-95498

. This is actually a pretty common approach in Next.js projects, where the main page component takes care of this kind of logic.
Here’s a simple example to help you get started:
// In src/app/page.tsx
const startMeeting = async () => {
const response = await fetch('/api/token?room=myRoom&username=myUser');
const data = await response.json();
if (data.token) {
const room = new LiveKit.Room();
await room.connect(process.env.LIVEKIT_SERVER_URL, data.token);
console.log('Connected to room:', room.name);
}
};
// In the JSX:
Just a quick heads-up: don’t forget to swap out placeholders like myRoom
and myUser
with the actual values you want to use. This way, your button will smoothly kick off the room creation and connection process.stocky-tailor-95498

, here’s a friendly walkthrough of what you can do:
1. Update the handleStart
Function: This part is already covered in your code! It fetches the token and connects to the room using the LiveKit client SDK, so you’re all set here.
2. Modify the Button: Swap out your current "Start Session" button with one that calls the handleStart
function when clicked. Here’s a simple example:
<button
type="button"
onClick={handleStart}
disabled={isStarting || !tokenUrl}
style={{
padding: '10px 16px',
borderRadius: 8,
border: 'none',
background: '#007AFF',
color: 'white',
fontWeight: 500,
cursor: isStarting ? 'not-allowed' : 'pointer',
transition: 'background-color 0.2s',
}}
aria-label="Start"
>
{isStarting ? 'Starting…' : 'Start Session'}
</button>
1. Ensure Token Fetching Logic: Your handleStart
function already fetches the token and updates the room state. Just double-check that your tokenUrl
is correctly set up and points to your backend API.
2. Integrate Room Connection: The LiveKitRoom
component is ready to use the token and server URL, so no tweaks needed here.
With these tweaks, your page.tsx
will smoothly handle creating and connecting to a room whenever someone clicks the "Start Session" button. If you run into any bumps or have questions, I’m here to help!stocky-tailor-95498
08/11/2025, 5:41 PMtall-airline-16756
08/11/2025, 5:42 PMhandleStart
function, which takes care of fetching the token and starting the room connection. So, no extra changes are needed for that part.
If everything’s working smoothly, you can go ahead and test the flow to make sure the token fetches properly, the room gets created, and the user connects without a hitch. And hey, if you run into any bumps or have questions, just give me a shout—I’m here to help!stocky-tailor-95498

return {"message": f"Room {room_name} deleted successfully"}
except Exception as e:
raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))
1. Connect the Frontend Stop Button: When someone clicks the stop button, send a POST request to your /api/delete-room
endpoint with the room name. Here’s how you might do it:
async function handleStopButton() {
const roomName = "your_room_name"; // Replace with the actual room name
try {
const response = await fetch(`/api/delete-room`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({ room_name: roomName }),
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Failed to delete room');
}
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.message);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
1. Secure the Endpoint: It’s important to keep things safe! Add authentication so only authorized folks can delete rooms. FastAPI’s HTTPBearer
is a great way to handle token-based authentication.
2. Environment Configuration: Make sure your LiveKit API credentials and server URL are set as environment variables (like LIVEKIT_API_KEY
, LIVEKIT_API_SECRET
, and LIVEKIT_URL
).
With this setup, your backend will smoothly handle room deletion whenever the stop button is pressed on the frontend. If you run into any bumps or want to chat more about this, just let me know—I’m here to help!

and session.stop()
. This way, if anything unexpected pops up during session management, your app can handle it gracefully.
◦ Also, wrapping API calls (like room creation and deletion) in try-except
blocks will help catch errors, log them, and give meaningful feedback.
1. Input Validation:
◦ Double-check inputs like room names and participant identities to make sure invalid or malformed data doesn’t cause trouble later on.
1. Agent Session Management:
◦ Make sure to clean up agent sessions properly by handling exceptions during session.start()
and session.stop()
. This keeps things tidy and avoids potential issues.
1. Improved Room Management: async def delete_livekit_room(room_name: str) -> bool:
try:
async def _delete_room(lkapi):
delete_request = room_proto.DeleteRoomRequest(room=room_name)
await lkapi.room.delete_room(delete_request)
return True
success = await with_livekit_api(_delete_room)
return success
except Exception as e:
logger.error(f"Failed to delete room {room_name}: {str(e)}")
return False
◦ Using unique room names—like adding timestamps or random strings—can help avoid conflicts when creating new rooms.
◦ It’s also helpful to have a dedicated function for room deletion with solid error handling. For example:
1. Logging:
◦ Make sure all important actions—like room creation and session start/stop—are logged. This makes debugging and monitoring so much easier down the road.
By tackling these points, your backend will be even more robust and ready to handle dynamic room creation and deletion smoothly for your translation app. If you want to chat more or need a hand with anything else, just let me know—I’m here to help!

async def _on_shutdown():

) and make sure it’s getting a good response back.
◦ Also, make sure the token the backend creates is valid and has the right permissions for the room you’re trying to join.
1. Peek at Backend Logs:
◦ Check the FastAPI logs to confirm the /api/create-token
endpoint is being called and that it’s returning a token.
◦ Sometimes things fail quietly — so it’s a good idea to add some logging around token generation and room creation to catch any sneaky issues.
1. Make Sure LiveKit Server is Reachable:
◦ Is your LiveKit server up and running? Double-check the server URL and API credentials in your environment variables to make sure they’re spot on.
◦ Also, confirm that the needed ports (like TCP 443, 7880, 7881, and UDP 7882) are open on your server.
1. Test the Connection Flow:
◦ Try out the LiveKit Connection Tester — it’s great for spotting issues with WebSocket, WebRTC, TURN, and UDP connectivity.
◦ If you suspect network restrictions, you can force TURN usage in the frontend by setting iceTransportPolicy: 'relay'
. This can help bypass some tricky network setups.
1. Check the Agent Session:
◦ Make sure the entrypoint
function in your Python backend is actually getting called when the room is created.
◦ Take a look at the logs for the AgentSession
to see if it’s starting up and connecting to the room properly.
By going through these steps, you’ll get a clearer picture of where things might be going sideways and how to fix it. If you hit any snags or want me to walk you through any part, just let me know — I’m here to help!

<http://logger.info|logger.info>(f"Received request to create token for room: {room_name}, user: {user_identity}")
# Existing token generation logic
◦ Take a look at the FastAPI logs in the terminal where you’re running uvicorn
. See if there are any logs showing the /api/create-token
endpoint was called.
◦ If you don’t see anything, try adding some logging inside that endpoint to confirm it’s being hit. For example:
1. Make Sure LiveKit Server is Connected: LIVEKIT_URL=<wss://your-livekit-server.com>
LIVEKIT_API_KEY=your_api_key
LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=your_api_secret
◦ Confirm the LiveKit server is up and running. You can test it by visiting the server URL in your browser or using a tool like curl
to see if it responds.
◦ Also, double-check that your backend has the right environment variables set for the LiveKit server URL and API credentials. Something like this:
◦ Don’t forget to make sure the necessary ports (TCP 443, 7880, 7881, UDP 7882) are open on the server. You can use tools like telnet
or nmap
to check.
1. Test the Connection Flow: const room = new LiveKit.Room({
iceTransportPolicy: 'relay', // Forces TURN usage
});
◦ Try using the LiveKit Connection Tester to check WebSocket, WebRTC, TURN, and UDP connectivity. It’s great for spotting network issues or misconfigurations.
◦ If needed, you can force TURN usage in your frontend by tweaking the connection setup like this:
1. Check the Agent Session: async def entrypoint(ctx: JobContext):
<http://logger.info|logger.info>(f"Agent job started for room: {ctx.room.name}")
# Existing logic
◦ Make sure the entrypoint
function in your Python backend is actually running when the room is created. Adding some logging can help confirm this:
◦ Look through the logs for the AgentSession
to see if it’s starting up and connecting to the room. If not, double-check that the room name and token are being passed correctly.

08/12/2025, 4:36 AM/api/token
endpoint, a great way is to add some logging. This way, you can easily see when the endpoint gets called and what parameters are coming through. Here’s a friendly tweak you can make to your FastAPI backend:
from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException, Request
import logging
app = FastAPI()
# Set up logging
logging.basicConfig(level=<http://logging.INFO|logging.INFO>)
logger = logging.getLogger("token-endpoint")
@app.post("/api/token")
async def create_token(request: Request):
try:
# Log when the request arrives
<http://logger.info|logger.info>("Received request to /api/token")
# Grab the request body
body = await request.json()
room_name = body.get("roomName")
user_identity = body.get("identity")
# Log the parameters for you
<http://logger.info|logger.info>(f"Room Name: {room_name}, User Identity: {user_identity}")
if not room_name or not user_identity:
raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail="Missing roomName or identity")
# Here’s where you’d generate your token (this is just a placeholder)
token = "dummy_token" # Swap this out with your real token logic
# Log the token that was created
<http://logger.info|logger.info>(f"Generated token: {token}")
return {"token": token}
except Exception as e:
logger.error(f"Error in /api/token: {str(e)}")
raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail="Internal Server Error")
Here’s what you’ll get with this setup:
• Each time the /api/token
endpoint is called, you’ll see a log entry showing the request details.
• You can watch your terminal and confirm the endpoint is getting hit and check out the parameters being sent.
• If anything goes sideways, these logs will be your best friend to figure out what’s up.
