What you get

On October 19, 2026 Deepgram made mid-stream keyterm changes easier to trust on Nova-3 live transcription (/v1/listen):

Every Configure message now gets exactly one reply: ConfigureSuccess or ConfigureFailure.
ConfigureSuccess lists the keyterms now in effect.
New SDK versions can send it: Python SDK v7.13.0 (send_configure), JavaScript SDK v5.15.0 (sendConfigure) and Java SDK v0.11.1 (sendConfigure).

Prerequisites

A Deepgram API key in DEEPGRAM_API_KEY
A live (WebSocket) Nova-3 stream
Python SDK 7.13.0 or JavaScript SDK 5.15.0 or newer

Steps

Upgrade the SDK: pip install --upgrade "deepgram-sdk>=7.13.0" or npm install @deepgram/sdk@^5.15.0.
Open a Nova-3 live stream as usual.
While it runs, send a Configure message with a new keyterms list. In JavaScript: sendConfigure({ type: "Configure", keyterms: ["Deepgram", "customer service"] }).
Send an empty list [] to clear the keyterms.
Listen for ConfigureSuccess or ConfigureFailure and log it.

Test it

Start a live stream, send a Configure with two keyterms, and watch for a message like:
