Shareable Recording Links

The API provides transcript_url, video_url, and audio_url, but for sharing with external parties (prospects, clients), use the embed URL format:

API transcript_url:  https://app.fireflies.ai/view/{id}           (requires Fireflies login)
Embed URL:           https://share.fireflies.ai/embed/meetings/{id}  (no login required, permanent)

Why use embed URLs:

  • No Fireflies account required to view
  • Permanent link (doesn't expire like video_url/audio_url)
  • Better viewing experience (embedded player)

Construction:

# Get meeting ID from API
MEETING_ID=$(curl -s -X POST https://api.fireflies.ai/graphql \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FIREFLIES_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"{ transcripts(mine:true,limit:1) { id } }"}' | jq -r '.data.transcripts[0].id')

# Construct embed URL
EMBED_URL="https://share.fireflies.ai/embed/meetings/${MEETING_ID}"
echo "Share this: $EMBED_URL"

Embed in HTML:

<iframe 
  src="https://share.fireflies.ai/embed/meetings/{id}" 
  width="640" 
  height="360" 
  frameborder="0" 
  allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" 
  allowfullscreen>
</iframe>

  • Dependencies: Requires curl and jq (install: sudo apt install jq or brew install jq)
