# Fathom

Access the Fathom API with managed OAuth authentication. Retrieve meeting recordings, transcripts, summaries, action items, and manage webhooks for notifications.

## Quick Start

```bash
# List recent meetings
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/fathom/external/v1/meetings')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

## Base URL

```
https://gateway.maton.ai/fathom/{native-api-path}
```

Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Fathom API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `api.fathom.ai` 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`:

```bash
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
```

### Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key

## Connection Management

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

### List Connections

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=fathom&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

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'fathom'}).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

```bash
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:**
```json
{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "fathom",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}
```

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

### Delete Connection

```bash
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 Fathom connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/fathom/external/v1/meetings')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

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

## API Reference

### Meetings

#### List Meetings

```bash
GET /fathom/external/v1/meetings
```

Query parameters:
- `cursor` - Cursor for pagination
- `created_after` - Filter to meetings created after this timestamp (e.g., `2025-01-01T00:00:00Z`)
- `created_before` - Filter to meetings created before this timestamp
- `calendar_invitees_domains[]` - Filter by company domains (pass once per value)

  "secret": "whsec_x6EV6NIAAz3ldclszNJTwrow",
  "created_at": "2025-06-30T10:40:46Z",
  "include_transcript": false,
  "include_crm_matches": false,
  "include_summary": true,
  "include_action_items": false,
  "triggered_for": ["my_recordings"]
}
```

#### Delete Webhook

```bash
DELETE /fathom/external/v1/webhooks/{id}
```

**Example:**

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/fathom/external/v1/webhooks/ikEoQ4bVoq4JYUmc', 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
```

Returns `204 No Content` on success.

## Pagination

Use `cursor` for pagination. Response includes `next_cursor` when more results exist:

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/fathom/external/v1/meetings?cursor=eyJwYWdlX251bSI6Mn0=')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

## Code Examples

### JavaScript

```javascript
const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/fathom/external/v1/meetings?created_after=2025-01-01T00:00:00Z',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://gateway.maton.ai/fathom/external/v1/meetings",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['MATON_API_KEY']}"},
    params={"created_after": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z"},
)
data = response.json()
```

## Notes

- Recording IDs are integers
- Timestamps are in ISO 8601 format
- Transcripts and summaries are in English
- Webhook secrets are used to verify webhook signatures
- CRM matches only return data from your or your team's linked CRM
- IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets (`fields[]`, `sort[]`, `records[]`) to disable glob parsing
- IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.

## Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| 400 | Bad request or missing Fathom connection |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |
| 404 | Resource not found |
| 429 | Rate limited |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Fathom API |

### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

```bash
echo $MATON_API_KEY
```

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

```bash
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 `fathom`. For example:

- Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/fathom/external/v1/meetings`
- Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/external/v1/meetings`
