Fathom Install & Auth

Overview

Set up Fathom AI API access for retrieving meeting transcripts, summaries, and action items. The API at api.fathom.ai/external/v1 uses X-Api-Key header authentication with per-user API keys.

Prerequisites

  • Fathom account (free or Team plan)
  • API access enabled in Settings

Instructions

Step 1: Generate API Key

  1. Log in to https://fathom.video
  2. Navigate to Settings > Integrations > API Access
  3. Click Generate API Key
  4. Copy and store the key securely
bash
export FATHOM_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

# Verify the key works
curl -s -H "X-Api-Key: ${FATHOM_API_KEY}" \
  https://api.fathom.ai/external/v1/meetings?limit=1 | jq .

Step 2: Configure Environment

bash
# .env -- NEVER commit
FATHOM_API_KEY=your-api-key
FATHOM_BASE_URL=https://api.fathom.ai/external/v1

# .gitignore
.env
.env.local

Step 3: Test API Connectivity

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

Step 4: OAuth Setup (For Public Apps)

bash
# For building integrations others will use, register an OAuth app
# at developers.fathom.ai for marketplace listing eligibility

# OAuth apps cannot use include_transcript or include_summary
# in list requests -- use individual recording endpoints instead

Error Handling

Error Cause Solution
401 Unauthorized Invalid API key Regenerate in Settings > API Access
403 Forbidden Key lacks access API keys access your meetings + team shared
429 Too Many Requests Rate limit (60/min) Implement backoff
Empty meetings list No recordings yet Record a meeting first
