API Reference

SmartSpectraSDK

Entry point for the SmartSpectra SDK.

Most apps use the shared instance:

let sdk = SmartSpectraSDK.shared
sdk.config.apiKey = "your-key"
try await sdk.start()

Tests and advanced integrations can create an isolated instance via init(config:). The underlying authentication handler and C++ preprocessing runtime are process-global, so only one SDK instance can drive an active measurement at a time.

Initializers

• public init (config: SmartSpectraConfig)

  Create an isolated SDK instance backed by the given configuration.

  The authentication handler and preprocessing runtime are process-global, so only one instance can drive an active measurement at a time. Use this initializer for tests or advanced integrations where you intentionally need a separate observable state from shared. Most apps should just use SmartSpectraSDK/shared.

Methods

• public func start () async throws

  Begin processing frames from the device camera.

• public func stop () async throws

  Stop processing. Call start() again to resume.

• @discardableResult public func requestInsight (_ text: String) throws -> Int32

  Dispatch an on-demand insight request alongside the vitals samples buffered since the last send.

  The provided text is sent as the current turn's prompt; prior calls' text is not retained or re-sent by the SDK. The dispatched request type mirrors the Presage Analytics Gateway contract: combined when vitals samples are buffered at dispatch time, speech when only the prompt is present. Vitals snapshots auto-fire approximately every 15 seconds with no prompt and are published through SmartSpectraSDK/insight alongside on-demand replies; callers route on the delivered Insight's type field.

• @_spi(Testing)
  public func setVideoInput (path: String)

  Configures a video file as input source instead of the live camera. Supported formats: .mov, .mp4, .qt

• @_spi(Testing)
  public func setVideoTimestampInput (path: String)

  Configures optional timestamp file (one ms value per line) for frame timing.

• @_spi(Testing)
  public func setVideoInterframeDelay (milliseconds: Int)

  Configures optional video-file playback throttling in milliseconds.

• @_spi(Testing)
  public func setVideoInputEnabled (_ enabled: Bool)

  Enables or disables video file input mode. Toggleable at runtime. When enabled, camera input is disabled.

Properties

• public static let shared = SmartSpectraSDK()

  The shared SDK instance.

• public internal(set) var metrics : Metrics?

  Real-time metrics emitted while processing is active.

• public internal(set) var imageOutput : UIImage?

  Live camera preview image.

• public internal(set) var processingStatus : ProcessingStatus = .idle

  Current processing pipeline status.

• public internal(set) var error : SmartSpectraError?

  Latest error from the SDK.

• public internal(set) var validationStatus : ValidationStatus?

  Measurement readiness: face position, lighting, etc. Only meaningful while processingStatus is .running.

• public internal(set) var insight : Insight?

  Latest insight from the AI insights service.

• public nonisolated static var version : String

  SDK version string.

• public let config : SmartSpectraConfig

  Configuration for this SDK instance.

  Mutate properties on this object rather than replacing it.

SmartSpectraConfig

Configuration for SmartSpectraSDK.

Access configuration through SmartSpectraSDK/config rather than constructing one directly:

let sdk = SmartSpectraSDK.shared
sdk.config.apiKey = "your-key"

Standalone construction is available for tests and advanced integrations that pass a custom config into SmartSpectraSDK/init(config:).

Initializers

• public init ()

  Creates a configuration with default values. Prefer SmartSpectraSDK/config over constructing a standalone config unless you are driving an isolated SmartSpectraSDK instance.

Properties

• public var cameraPosition : AVCaptureDevice.Position = .front

  Camera position used for capture. Defaults to .front.

• public var logLevel : SmartSpectraLogLevel = .default

  Verbosity of SDK logging — both the SDK's Swift-side logging and the native engine. Takes effect immediately when set (like imageOutputEnabled). Defaults to SmartSpectraLogLevel/warning (warnings and errors only).

• public var imageOutputEnabled : Bool = true

  Controls whether the SDK publishes preview frames to SmartSpectraSDK/imageOutput.

  When disabled, camera frames are still processed for vitals analysis, but the SDK skips CVPixelBuffer to UIImage conversion and preview updates. This is useful for custom integrations that do not display a live camera feed.

  Example:

  let sdk = SmartSpectraSDK.shared
  sdk.config.imageOutputEnabled = false

  • Note: Changes take effect immediately and do not require restarting processing.

• public var enableTelemetry : Bool = true

  Controls whether the SDK reports anonymous, aggregate usage telemetry.

  Telemetry is on by default; set this to false to opt out. When enabled, the SDK sends a per-session summary. It does not include raw frames, metric values, file paths, user identifiers, or device identifiers. Reporting is best-effort and never blocks or affects a measurement session.

  Example:

  let sdk = SmartSpectraSDK.shared
  sdk.config.enableTelemetry = false

  • Note: Read when a measurement session starts.

• public var apiKey : String?

  API key from the Presage developer portal. Setting this automatically configures authentication.

• public var requestedMetrics : [MetricType]?

  Which metrics to compute during processing.

  This property provides granular control over which metric families the SDK requests. Derived feature flags such as cardio and face processing are inferred from the selected metric types.

  Duplicate metrics are removed automatically while preserving the original order.

  If you do not set this property, the SDK defaults to breathing-only metrics: chest breathing, abdomen breathing, breathing rate, breathing amplitude, apnea, respiratory line length, baseline, and inhale/exhale ratio.

  Example:

  let sdk = SmartSpectraSDK.shared
  sdk.config.requestedMetrics = [
      .breathingRate,
      .pulseRate,
      .faceLandmarks
  ]

  Example using the predefined bundles:

  config.requestedMetrics = SmartSpectraConfig.breathingMetrics + SmartSpectraConfig.cardioMetrics

• public nonisolated static let breathingMetrics : [MetricType]

  Breathing metric bundle. Equivalent to leaving SmartSpectraConfig/requestedMetrics unset.

• public nonisolated static let cardioMetrics : [MetricType]

  Cardio metric bundle (pulse rate, arterial pressure trace, HRV). Combine with breathingMetrics for the typical "vitals" bundle.

• public nonisolated static let faceMetrics : [MetricType]

  Face metric bundle (landmarks, blinking, talking, expressions).

• public nonisolated static let edaMetrics : [MetricType]

  Electrodermal activity (EDA) trace metric bundle.

ProcessingStatus

Indicates the current state of the preprocessing pipeline.

• case idle
• case starting
• case running
• case stopping
• case error

ValidationStatus

Measurement readiness: a stable code plus a human-readable hint. Orthogonal to ProcessingStatus (engine lifecycle).

Properties

• public let code : ValidationCode

  The stable, machine-readable readiness code.

• public let hint : String

  A human-readable hint describing what needs to change for a valid measurement.

ValidationCode

Measurement-readiness codes.

• case ok = 0
• case noFaceFound = 1
• case multipleFacesFound = 2
• case faceNotCentered = 3
• case faceSizeOutOfRange = 4
• case tooDark = 5
• case tooBright = 6
• case chestNotVisible = 7
• case cameraTuning = 10
• case frameRateTooLow = 11
• case excessiveMotion = 12
• case faceTooClose = 13
• case faceTooFar = 14
• case faceTooHigh = 15
• case faceTooLow = 16

SmartSpectraError

A typed error from the SmartSpectra SDK.

Thrown by SmartSpectraSDK/start() and SmartSpectraSDK/stop(), and published on SmartSpectraSDK/error for async pipeline failures.

Properties

• public let code : Code

  The error category.

• public let message : String

  A human-readable description of what went wrong.

• public let retryable : Bool

  Whether the operation that produced this error can be retried.

• public var errorDescription : String?

  A human-readable description of the error; returns message.

SmartSpectraError.Code

SDK error codes. No .ok case — in Swift, success means no error thrown.

Raw values are stable across SDK versions and match the C++/Android wire values.

• case invalidState = 1
• case authenticationFailed = 2
• case configurationFailed = 3
• case creditExhausted = 4
• case networkError = 5
• case serverError = 6
• case inputUnavailable = 7
• case processingFailed = 8
• case frameConversionFailed = 9
• case nonMonotonicTimestamp = 10
• case timestampGap = 11

SmartSpectraLogLevel

Verbosity of SDK logging, set via SmartSpectraConfig/logLevel.

Levels are cumulative: a level shows its own messages plus everything more severe. The setting covers both the SDK's Swift-side logging and the native engine. debug cannot restore debug-only statements that were compiled out of the release engine binary.

Raw values are stable across SDK versions and match the C++/Android wire values.

• case debug = 0
• case info = 1
• case warning = 2
• case error = 3
• case none = 4
