Use this skill when users want to retrieve meeting transcripts, search conversations, analyze meeting content with AskFred, or manage meeting recordings. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Requires network access and valid Maton API key. metadata: author: maton version: "1.0" clawdbot: emoji: 🧠 requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY

Fireflies

Access the Fireflies.ai GraphQL API with managed OAuth authentication. Retrieve meeting transcripts, summaries, users, contacts, channels, and use AI-powered meeting analysis with AskFred.

Quick Start

# Get current user
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'query': '{ user { user_id name email is_admin } }'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/fireflies/graphql', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/fireflies/graphql

All requests are sent to a single GraphQL endpoint. The gateway proxies requests to api.fireflies.ai/graphql and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Fireflies OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=fireflies&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'fireflies'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "a221f04a-6842-4254-ae9a-424bb63ad745",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-11T00:45:25.802991Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-11T00:46:04.771700Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "fireflies",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Fireflies connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'query': '{ user { user_id name email } }'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/fireflies/graphql', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'a221f04a-6842-4254-ae9a-424bb63ad745')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

GraphQL API

Fireflies uses GraphQL, which means all requests are POST requests to a single /graphql endpoint with a JSON body containing the query.

Request Format

POST /fireflies/graphql
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "query": "{ ... }",
  "variables": { ... }
}

Code Examples

JavaScript

const query = `{
  user {
    user_id
    name
    email
  }
}`;

const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/fireflies/graphql',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ query })
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.data.user);

Python

import os
import requests

query = '''
{
  transcripts {
    id
    title
    date
    duration
  }
}
'''

response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/fireflies/graphql',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={'query': query}
)
data = response.json()
for transcript in data['data']['transcripts']:
    print(f"{transcript['title']}: {transcript['duration']}s")

Notes

• Fireflies uses GraphQL, not REST - all requests are POST to /graphql
• User IDs are ULIDs (e.g., 01KH5131Z0W4TS7BBSEP66CV6V)
• Timestamps are Unix timestamps (milliseconds)
• The summary field on transcripts contains AI-generated content: overview, action_items, outline, keywords
• AskFred allows natural language queries across meeting transcripts
• Rate limits: 50 API calls/day on free plan, more on Business plan
• IMPORTANT: All GraphQL queries and mutations must be sent as POST requests with Content-Type: application/json
• IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments

Error Handling

GraphQL Errors:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Cannot query field \"id\" on type \"User\".",
      "code": "GRAPHQL_VALIDATION_FAILED"
    }
  ]
}

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

1. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with fireflies. For example:

• Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/fireflies/graphql
• Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/graphql
