Deepgram SDK Fails with WebSocket Version 14.0 - Unexpected Keyword Argument extra_headers

[artstyle46]

What is the current behavior?

When using the Deepgram SDK with WebSocket version 14.0, the connection fails, and the following error is raised:

TypeError: got an unexpected keyword argument 'extra_headers'.
However, Deepgram works fine with WebSocket version 13.1.

Steps to reproduce

Install WebSocket version 14.0
pip install websockets==14.0
Set up a Deepgram connection using the SDK.
pip install deepgram-sdk==3.7.6
Attempt to create a connection to Deepgram's API using
deepgram: DeepgramClient = DeepgramClient(DeepgramClientOptions(options={"keepalive": "true"} ))
dg_connection = deepgram.listen.asyncwebsocket.v("1")
options: LiveOptions = LiveOptions( model="nova-2-general", smart_format=True, punctuate=True, encoding="linear16", channels=1, sample_rate=8000, vad_events=True, )
dg_connection.start(options=options)
Observe the error: TypeError: got an unexpected keyword argument 'extra_headers'.

Expected behavior

The connection should be established successfully without any errors when using WebSocket version 14.0, similar to the behavior with version 13.1.

Please tell us about your environment

MacOS 14.6.1
python version v3.12.6

Yeah have the same problem, fixing to version 13.1 solves the problem for me pushing back deepgram version does not.

Having the same problem, staying on major version 13 resolved the issue

The issue seems to be that the Python websockets library seems to accept additional_headers not extra_headers

[kozzion]

Maybe it should look through the args for "extra headers, additional headers, more headers, suplementary headers"

I'm having the same issue. I'm using deepgram sdk 2.12, python 3.13.1, macOS 15.1.1 and websocket 13.
