Get your API key Read the docs

Make your first request in minutes

Send one request with your API key and get back exactly the meeting details you ask for. Pick your language, copy the code, and replace the placeholder key.

Follow the quickstart Transcripts API reference

curl -X POST https://api.fireflies.ai/graphql \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your_api_key" \
  --data '{"query": "{ transcripts(limit: 5) { id title date summary { overview action_items } } }"}'

Replace your_api_key with the key from your Fireflies integrations page. Keep your key on your own server and never put it in a web page.

What you can build with the API

Fireflies records, transcribes, and summarizes your meetings. The API gives your product and workflows programmatic access to that data.
