Examples

List recent meetings

python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py list
python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py list --format json
python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py list --after 2026-05-01

Show note with transcript

python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py show not_5FkswTp4Omkpm5
python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py show not_5FkswTp4Omkpm5 --transcript --format json

Export to Obsidian

python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py export not_5FkswTp4Omkpm5
python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py export not_5FkswTp4Omkpm5 --vault ~/Brains/brain

date: YYYY-MM-DD
participants: ['Name 1', 'Name 2']
duration: HH:MM
source: granola
---

# Meeting Title

## Summary

## Transcript
**Speaker Name**: What they said...

Files saved as: Sessions/YYYYMMDD-meeting-title-slug.md

API Details

• Base URL: https://public-api.granola.ai/v1
• Auth: Bearer token (Personal API key, never expires)
• Rate limits: 25 req burst / 5 req/sec sustained
• Important: API only returns notes with generated summaries — in-progress meetings won't appear

Known Limitations

• No live/in-progress access — notes appear only after Granola generates the AI summary
• No per-utterance speaker names — Granola provides source (microphone vs speaker) and optional diarization_label. Export assigns meeting owner to microphone utterances
• Note IDs required — use list first to get not_xxxx IDs, then show/export

Integration

• transcript-analyzer: After export, run transcript-analyzer on the output file for deeper analysis
• Fathom skill: Granola exports use the same frontmatter and transcript format as Fathom exports, so downstream tools work with both
