Requesting support for API key authentication for STT & TTS services

[ShreeyaJoshi]

Hi All, I created new STT and TTS service in IBM Cloud, and I see fields in Credentials like:-

• apikey
• iam_apikey_description
• iam_apikey_name
• iam_role_crn
• iam_serviceid_crn
• url but I don't see Username, Password in credentials (as mentioned in documentation of current android-sdk) Can you let me know the endpoint I should use for connecting to latest services.

Hey @ShreeyaJoshi. For authentication, refer to the Java SDK. Our services have migrated to a new authentication method.

Thank you for quick response @lpatino10, will take a look at it

Hi Logan, We are looking for Android SDK, and above link is for Java SDK, can you guide on how to proceed further with this?

@lpatino10 - can you please reopen this issue, the link to the Java SDK is not very helpful. Particularly since the IBM Android guides refer to this SDK. eg. https://console.bluemix.net/docs/tutorials/android-watson-chatbot.html#build-a-voice-enabled-android-chatbot

For authentication I specifically mean this section of the README.

The Android SDK is just a library to be used on top of the Java SDK. The Android SDK adds support for device-specific things like the camera and microphone, but the Java SDK deals with connecting to the Watson services. That repo's README should be useful then in better understanding how to use the services.

For more details on authentication with the new system, you can look here, which is not Java-specific.
