fish-audio-sdk
The official Python library for the Fish Audio API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs cleanly with low friction, and is licensed permissively under Apache-2.0. It is the official SDK for Fish Audio's API, so it is the natural choice if you need to integrate Fish Audio services into a Python application. Verify that Fish Audio's pricing and rate limits fit your use case before committing.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid Fish Audio API key from fish.audio/app/api-keys; API calls are rate-limited and consume account credits.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- Active maintenance with a recent commit on 2026-07-31 and steady release cadence.

What it is and what it does
Fish Audio SDK is the official Python client for Fish Audio's cloud-hosted speech synthesis and recognition services. It wraps HTTP and WebSocket APIs for text-to-speech (TTS), automatic speech recognition (ASR), voice management, and account operations. The library supports both synchronous and asynchronous workflows, making it suitable for simple scripts and production applications alike.
The SDK handles authentication via API key, provides typed request/response objects through pydantic, and includes utilities for audio playback and file I/O. It exposes core resources for converting text to speech with custom voices, transcribing audio files, cloning voices from samples, and checking account credits. Real-time streaming is supported via WebSocket for conversational AI and live applications.
Use it for
- Build a chatbot or voice assistant that speaks responses in real time using TTS streaming
- Transcribe recorded audio files or live speech streams for meeting notes or accessibility
- Clone a custom voice from a sample recording and reuse it across multiple TTS requests
- Integrate speech synthesis into a web or mobile app backend with async/await support
- Monitor account usage and credit balance programmatically before running large synthesis jobs
