Voice Monkey Docs
Heads up — these docs cover Voice Monkey API v3, the current version. If you signed up before the v3 launch, your account is still on API v2 for a limited transition period and the examples below will not work against your account.

API Playground

The API Playground is an interactive tool inside the Voice Monkey console that builds, runs and shares real API requests without writing any code. It’s the fastest way to try a new parameter, verify a device is wired up correctly, or grab a ready-made snippet you can paste straight into your own setup.

Open the playground

Section titled “Open the playground”

app.voicemonkey.io/playground, or pick the playground tab on any of the Speakers, Routine Triggers or Flows pages.

How it works

Section titled “How it works”
  1. Pick the endpoint: Announce, Routine Trigger, Flow or Devices.
  2. Pick a token, device or Flow from the dropdowns — the playground auto-populates them from your account.
  3. Fill in any additional parameters (announcement speech, media URL, voice, etc.).
  4. Press Send request. The response (status, headers, body) is shown live.
  5. Use the snippet panel to copy a ready-made request in your preferred format.

Snippet formats

Section titled “Snippet formats”

The right-hand panel renders the request you’ve composed in any of these formats:

  • GET URL — the full URL, ready to paste into a browser, IFTTT, Flic or anything that just takes a URL.
  • cURL and HTTPie — for the terminal.
  • JavaScript, Python, PHP (Laravel) — drop-in code for your project.
  • Home Assistant YAML — paste straight into a rest_command / automation.
  • Node-RED — importable JSON for the inject/HTTP request flow.
  • Apple Shortcuts — step-by-step recipe for the Shortcuts app.
  • JSON body — just the body payload, for tools that build the rest of the request themselves.
