+# Vapi Python Library
+
+[![fern shield](https://img.shields.io/badge/%F0%9F%8C%BF-Built%20with%20Fern-brightgreen)](https://buildwithfern.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=github&utm_campaign=readme&utm_source=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FVapiAI%2Fserver-sdk-python)
+[![pypi](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/vapi_server_sdk)](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/vapi_server_sdk)
+
+The Vapi Python library provides convenient access to the Vapi API from Python.
+
+## Installation
+
+```sh
+pip install vapi_server_sdk
+```
+
+## Reference
+
+A full reference for this library is available [here](./reference.md).
+
+## Usage
+
+Instantiate and use the client with the following:
+
+```python
+from vapi import Vapi
+
+client = Vapi(
+    token="YOUR_TOKEN",
+)
+client.calls.create()
+```
+
+## Async Client
+
+The SDK also exports an `async` client so that you can make non-blocking calls to our API.
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+
+from vapi import AsyncVapi
+
+client = AsyncVapi(
+    token="YOUR_TOKEN",
+)
+
+
+async def main() -> None:
+    await client.calls.create()
+
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+## Exception Handling
+
+When the API returns a non-success status code (4xx or 5xx response), a subclass of the following error
+will be thrown.
+
+```python
+from vapi.core.api_error import ApiError
+
+try:
+    client.calls.create(...)
+except ApiError as e:
+    print(e.status_code)
+    print(e.body)
+```
+
+## Pagination
+
+Paginated requests will return a `SyncPager` or `AsyncPager`, which can be used as generators for the underlying object.
+
+```python
+from vapi import Vapi
+
+client = Vapi(
+    token="YOUR_TOKEN",
+)
+response = client.logs.get()
+for item in response:
+    yield item
+# alternatively, you can paginate page-by-page
+for page in response.iter_pages():
+    yield page
+```
+
+## Advanced
+
+### Retries
+
+The SDK is instrumented with automatic retries with exponential backoff. A request will be retried as long
+as the request is deemed retriable and the number of retry attempts has not grown larger than the configured
+retry limit (default: 2).
+
+A request is deemed retriable when any of the following HTTP status codes is returned:
+
+- [408](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/408) (Timeout)
+- [429](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/429) (Too Many Requests)
+- [5XX](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/500) (Internal Server Errors)
+
+Use the `max_retries` request option to configure this behavior.
+
+```python
+client.calls.create(..., request_options={
+    "max_retries": 1
+})
+```
+
+### Timeouts
+
+The SDK defaults to a 60 second timeout. You can configure this with a timeout option at the client or request level.
+
+```python
+
+from vapi import Vapi
+
+client = Vapi(
+    ...,
+    timeout=20.0,
+)
+
+
+# Override timeout for a specific method
+client.calls.create(..., request_options={
+    "timeout_in_seconds": 1
+})
+```
+
+### Custom Client
+
+You can override the `httpx` client to customize it for your use-case. Some common use-cases include support for proxies
+and transports.
+```python
+import httpx
+from vapi import Vapi
+
+client = Vapi(
+    ...,
+    httpx_client=httpx.Client(
+        proxies="http://my.test.proxy.example.com",
+        transport=httpx.HTTPTransport(local_address="0.0.0.0"),
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+## Contributing
+
+While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically.
+Additions made directly to this library would have to be moved over to our generation code,
+otherwise they would be overwritten upon the next generated release. Feel free to open a PR as
+a proof of concept, but know that we will not be able to merge it as-is. We suggest opening
+an issue first to discuss with us!
+
+On the other hand, contributions to the README are always very welcome!
