name: wavecap-streams description: Monitor and manage WaveCap audio streams. Use when the user asks about stream status, wants to list streams, check stream health, view recent transcriptions, or reset a stream.

WaveCap Streams Skill

Use this skill to interact with WaveCap streams via the REST API.

Configuration

The WaveCap server runs at http://localhost:8000 by default. For authenticated operations (reset), you need an editor token.

Available Operations

List All Streams

Copycurl -s http://localhost:8000/api/streams | jq

To get streams without transcription history (faster):

Copycurl -s "http://localhost:8000/api/streams?includeTranscriptions=false" | jq

Get Stream Status Summary

Copycurl -s "http://localhost:8000/api/streams?includeTranscriptions=false" | jq '.[] | {id, name, status, error, source, lastActivityAt}'

Get Recent Transcriptions for a Stream

Copycurl -s "http://localhost:8000/api/streams/{STREAM_ID}/transcriptions?limit=10" | jq '.transcriptions[] | {timestamp, text, confidence}'

Check API Health

Copycurl -s http://localhost:8000/api/health | jq

Reset a Stream (requires editor auth)

First, get an auth token:

CopyTOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/auth/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"password": "YOUR_EDITOR_PASSWORD"}' | jq -r '.token')

Then reset the stream:

Copycurl -s -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/streams/{STREAM_ID}/reset" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Stream Status Values

• transcribing - Stream is actively processing audio
• queued - Stream is waiting to start
• stopped - Stream has been stopped
• error - Stream encountered an error (check error field)

Stream Source Types

• audio - HTTP audio stream (web URL)
• pager - Pager webhook feed
• remote - Remote audio source (e.g., from WaveCap-SDR)
• combined - Virtual combined view of multiple streams

Response Format

Stream objects contain:

Copy{
  "id": "stream-id",
  "name": "Stream Name",
  "url": "http://stream-url",
  "status": "transcribing",
  "enabled": true,
  "pinned": false,
  "createdAt": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "language": "en",
  "error": null,
  "source": "audio",
  "lastActivityAt": "2025-01-01T12:00:00Z",
  "transcriptions": [...]
}

Tips

• Use jq to filter and format JSON responses
• For large transcription histories, use pagination with before parameter
• The lastActivityAt field shows when the stream last received content
