What it is and what it does
fathom-python is the official Python SDK for Fathom's External API, providing a typed client to query meeting recordings, team metadata, and user permissions. It wraps HTTP calls to Fathom's backend using httpx and pydantic for request/response validation, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous usage patterns.
The SDK lets you list meetings with filters (by domain, team, meeting type, or recorder), fetch summaries and transcripts for recordings, request and monitor download jobs, and manage webhooks to receive notifications when new meeting content is ready. It handles pagination automatically via a `.next()` method on list responses. Authentication is API-key or bearer-token based, configured at client initialization.
Use it for
- Sync meeting data from Fathom into your internal database or CRM on a schedule using list_meetings with domain and team filters.
- Retrieve meeting transcripts and summaries programmatically to feed into downstream NLP or analysis pipelines.
- Set up webhooks to trigger actions (e.g., notifications, integrations) when new meeting recordings are processed and ready.
- Audit user permissions and team membership across your Fathom workspace via list_users and list_team_members.
- Request and monitor recording downloads for archival or compliance workflows using create_recording_download and get_recording_download.
