Quickstart

Get up and running with the Menutes API in three steps.

Step 1: Create an API Key

Go to Settings → API Keys and create a new key.
Copy your API key immediately — it will only be shown once.

Step 2: List Your Recordings

curl https://app.menutes.com/api/v1/recordings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mnts_your_key_here"
Response:
{
  "recordings": [
    {
      "id": "cmmnftxas0047i70b83694d2o",
      "meetingTitle": "Weekly Standup",
      "status": "COMPLETED",
      "duration": 1941,
      "speakerCount": 3,
      "createdAt": "2026-03-12T12:22:13.973Z"
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "page": 1,
    "limit": 20,
    "total": 1
  }
}

Step 3: Get a Transcript

Use a recording ID from the previous response:
curl https://app.menutes.com/api/v1/recordings/cmmnftxas0047i70b83694d2o/content \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mnts_your_key_here"
Response:
{
  "transcription": "[Speaker 1 @ 0:00]: Good morning everyone...",
  "summary": "## Meeting Summary\n\n### Key Discussion Points\n...",
  "transcriptSegments": [
    {
      "speaker": "Speaker 1",
      "text": "Good morning everyone",
      "startTime": 0,
      "endTime": 3
    }
  ],
  "speakerNames": {
    "Speaker 1": "Markus",
    "Speaker 2": "Ralf"
  },
  "notes": null
}
