Need to add a meeting-transcript schema.

Fireflies only supports API keys, it doesn't support OAuth connections.

You will need to create a special provider page, much like I did for Telegram (See https://github.com/verida/data-connector-server/tree/main/src/web/provider/telegram).

The Fireflies connect() method needs to redirect to the special provider page that you create (/provider/fireflies) (See https://https://github.com/verida/data-connector-server/blob/b8d9aa20aec992ca31065ec2065716442544594c/src/providers/telegram/index.ts#L47 for redirect example).

The page can be very simple and just ask for the users API key, directing them with instructions on how to get it.

Once they submit the key, redirect back to the callback() endpoint with the user entered API key (/callback/fireflies?apiKey=${apiKey}). Your call back method in fireflies can then save the API key as the accessToken.

Yeah, Telegram also doesn't support oAuth2 authentication, but it provides the SSO throughout Sign In with Telegram feature.

I thought that FireFlies might have a way to get apiKey programmatically, like Telegram, and tried to test APIs.

But I couldn't find a solution.

We can contact FireFlies support team at support@fireflies.ai for more information.

Notes

• The Fireflies team is improving their API to expose more features now, so I might be wrong for relying on the current documentation.
• The api Key seems to be tied to a specific team to control internal members using FireFlies, not for external members.
• Very low API rate limit:

Issues:

FireFlies has 4 customer packages: Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise. Its document says API access is available for all plans with limit, but not working properly in practice. Need to investigate with FireFlies

FireFlies recently launched a developer program that gives 3 months of free access to Fireflies Business Tier.
Apply here, but need to be approved by FireFlies team.
