Fathom Hello World

Overview

First API calls against Fathom: list meetings, get a transcript, retrieve AI-generated summaries and action items.

Prerequisites

Completed fathom-install-auth setup
At least one recorded meeting in Fathom

Instructions

Step 1: List Meetings

curl -s -H "X-Api-Key: ${FATHOM_API_KEY}" \
  "https://api.fathom.ai/external/v1/meetings?limit=5" \
  | jq '.meetings[] | {id, title, created_at, duration_seconds}'

Step 2: Get Meeting Transcript

RECORDING_ID="your-recording-id"

curl -s -H "X-Api-Key: ${FATHOM_API_KEY}" \
  "https://api.fathom.ai/external/v1/recordings/${RECORDING_ID}/transcript" \
  | jq '.segments[] | {speaker, text, start_time}'

Step 3: Get AI Summary and Action Items

# Get meeting with summary included
curl -s -H "X-Api-Key: ${FATHOM_API_KEY}" \
  "https://api.fathom.ai/external/v1/meetings?include_summary=true&limit=1" \
  | jq '.meetings[0] | {title, summary, action_items}'

Step 4: Filter Meetings by Date

# Meetings from the last 7 days
curl -s -H "X-Api-Key: ${FATHOM_API_KEY}" \
  "https://api.fathom.ai/external/v1/meetings?created_after=2026-03-15T00:00:00Z&limit=20" \
  | jq '.meetings | length'

Output
