  title: Cartesia Agents Datasets API
  description: 'The Cartesia REST API for real-time voice AI - text-to-speech and voice-changer generation (single-shot bytes or Server-Sent Events), batch speech-to-text transcription, voice management and cloning, audio infill, custom datasets, pronunciation dictionaries, API keys and scoped access tokens, the Voice Agents platform (agents, calls, call batches, phone numbers, telephony providers, webhooks, deployments, knowledge base documents/folders, and evaluation metrics), and usage reporting. All requests require a `Cartesia-Version` header and an `Authorization: Bearer` API key (`sk_car_...`) or short-lived access token. The lowest-latency, streaming surface for TTS and STT is a separate WebSocket protocol documented in the companion AsyncAPI document at asyncapi/cartesia-ai-asyncapi.yml.'
