SDK Example Usage

$3

`typescript
import { Fathom } from "fathom-typescript";

const fathom = new Fathom({
security: {
apiKeyAuth: "",
},
});

async function run() {
const result = await fathom.listMeetings({
calendarInviteesDomains: [
"acme.com",
"client.com",
],
meetingType: "all",
recordedBy: [
"ceo@acme.com",
"pm@acme.com",
],
teams: [
"Sales",
"Engineering",
],
});

for await (const page of result) {
console.log(page);
}
}

run();

`





Authentication

$3

This SDK supports the following security schemes globally:

| Name | Type | Scheme |
| ------------ | ------ | ----------- |
| apiKeyAuth | apiKey | API key |
| bearerAuth | http | HTTP Bearer |

You can set the security parameters through the security optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected scheme will be used by default to authenticate with the API for all operations that support it. For example:
`typescript
import { Fathom } from "fathom-typescript";

const fathom = new Fathom({
security: {
apiKeyAuth: "",
},
});

async function run() {
const result = await fathom.listMeetings({
calendarInviteesDomains: [
"acme.com",
"client.com",
],
meetingType: "all",
recordedBy: [
"ceo@acme.com",
"pm@acme.com",
],
teams: [
"Sales",
"Engineering",
],
});

for await (const page of result) {
console.log(page);
}
}

run();

`





Available Resources and Operations

Available methods

$3

* listMeetings - List meetings
* getRecordingSummary - Get summary
* getRecordingTranscript - Get transcript
* listTeams - List teams
* listTeamMembers - List team members
* createWebhook - Create a webhook
* deleteWebhook - Delete a webhook

Standalone functions

All the methods listed above are available as standalone functions. These
functions are ideal for use in applications running in the browser, serverless
runtimes or other environments where application bundle size is a primary
concern. When using a bundler to build your application, all unused
functionality will be either excluded from the final bundle or tree-shaken away.

To read more about standalone functions, check FUNCTIONS.md.

Available standalone functions

- createWebhook - Create a webhook
- deleteWebhook - Delete a webhook
- getRecordingSummary - Get summary
- getRecordingTranscript - Get transcript
- listMeetings - List meetings
- listTeamMembers - List team members
- listTeams - List teams

Pagination

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support pagination. To use pagination, you
make your SDK calls as usual, but the returned response object will also be an
async iterable that can be consumed using the [for await...of][for-await-of]
syntax.

[for-await-of]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/for-await...of

Here's an example of one such pagination call:

`typescript
import { Fathom } from "fathom-typescript";

const fathom = new Fathom({
security: {
apiKeyAuth: "",
},
});

async function run() {
const result = await fathom.listMeetings({
calendarInviteesDomains: [
"acme.com",
"client.com",
],
meetingType: "all",
recordedBy: [
"ceo@acme.com",
"pm@acme.com",
],
teams: [
"Sales",
"Engineering",
],
});

for await (const page of result) {
console.log(page);
}
}

run();

`





Retries

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.

To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply provide a retryConfig object to the call:
`typescript
import { Fathom } from "fathom-typescript";

const fathom = new Fathom({
security: {
apiKeyAuth: "",
},
});

async function run() {
const result = await fathom.listMeetings({
calendarInviteesDomains: [
"acme.com",
"client.com",
],
meetingType: "all",
recordedBy: [
"ceo@acme.com",
"pm@acme.com",
],
teams: [
"Sales",
"Engineering",
],
}, {
retries: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: {
initialInterval: 1,
maxInterval: 50,
exponent: 1.1,
maxElapsedTime: 100,
},
retryConnectionErrors: false,
},
});

for await (const page of result) {
console.log(page);
}
}

run();

`

If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can provide a retryConfig at SDK initialization:
`typescript
import { Fathom } from "fathom-typescript";

const fathom = new Fathom({
retryConfig: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: {
initialInterval: 1,
maxInterval: 50,
exponent: 1.1,
maxElapsedTime: 100,
},
retryConnectionErrors: false,
},
security: {
apiKeyAuth: "",
},
});

async function run() {
const result = await fathom.listMeetings({
calendarInviteesDomains: [
"acme.com",
"client.com",
],
meetingType: "all",
recordedBy: [
"ceo@acme.com",
"pm@acme.com",
],
teams: [
"Sales",
"Engineering",
],
});

for await (const page of result) {
console.log(page);
}
}

run();

`





Error Handling

FathomError is the base class for all HTTP error responses. It has the following properties:

| Property | Type | Description |
| ------------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| error.message | string | Error message |
| error.statusCode | number | HTTP response status code eg 404 |
| error.headers | Headers | HTTP response headers |
| error.body | string | HTTP body. Can be empty string if no body is returned. |
| error.rawResponse | Response | Raw HTTP response |

$3


`typescript
import { Fathom } from "fathom-typescript";
import * as errors from "fathom-typescript/sdk/models/errors";

const fathom = new Fathom({
security: {
apiKeyAuth: "",
},
});

async function run() {
try {
const result = await fathom.listMeetings({
calendarInviteesDomains: [
"acme.com",
"client.com",
],
meetingType: "all",
recordedBy: [
"ceo@acme.com",
"pm@acme.com",
],
teams: [
"Sales",
"Engineering",
],
});

for await (const page of result) {
console.log(page);
}
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof errors.FathomError) {
console.log(error.message);
console.log(error.statusCode);
console.log(error.body);
console.log(error.headers);
}
}
}

run();

`

Primary error:
* FathomError: The base class for HTTP error responses.

Less common errors (6)

Network errors:
* ConnectionError: HTTP client was unable to make a request to a server.
* RequestTimeoutError: HTTP request timed out due to an AbortSignal signal.
* RequestAbortedError: HTTP request was aborted by the client.
* InvalidRequestError: Any input used to create a request is invalid.
* UnexpectedClientError: Unrecognised or unexpected error.


Inherit from FathomError:
* ResponseValidationError: Type mismatch between the data returned from the server and the structure expected by the SDK. See error.rawValue for the raw value and error.pretty() for a nicely formatted multi-line string.

Development

Maturity

This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage
to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally
looking for the latest version.

Server Selection

$3

The default server can be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverURL: string optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
`typescript
import { Fathom } from "fathom-typescript";

const fathom = new Fathom({
serverURL: "https://api.fathom.ai/external/v1",
security: {
apiKeyAuth: "",
},
});

async function run() {
const result = await fathom.listMeetings({
calendarInviteesDomains: [
"acme.com",
"client.com",
],
meetingType: "all",
recordedBy: [
"ceo@acme.com",
"pm@acme.com",
],
teams: [
"Sales",
"Engineering",
],
});

for await (const page of result) {
console.log(page);
}
}

run();

`





Custom HTTP Client

The TypeScript SDK makes API calls using an HTTPClient that wraps the native
Fetch API. This
client is a thin wrapper around fetch and provides the ability to attach hooks
around the request lifecycle that can be used to modify the request or handle
errors and response.

The HTTPClient constructor takes an optional fetcher argument that can be
used to integrate a third-party HTTP client or when writing tests to mock out
the HTTP client and feed in fixtures.

The following example shows how to use the "beforeRequest" hook to to add a
custom header and a timeout to requests and how to use the "requestError" hook
to log errors:

`typescript
import { Fathom } from "fathom-typescript";
import { HTTPClient } from "fathom-typescript/lib/http";

const httpClient = new HTTPClient({
// fetcher takes a function that has the same signature as native fetch.
fetcher: (request) => {
return fetch(request);
}
});

httpClient.addHook("beforeRequest", (request) => {
const nextRequest = new Request(request, {
signal: request.signal || AbortSignal.timeout(5000)
});

nextRequest.headers.set("x-custom-header", "custom value");

return nextRequest;
});

httpClient.addHook("requestError", (error, request) => {
console.group("Request Error");
console.log("Reason:", ${error});
console.log("Endpoint:", ${request.method} ${request.url});
console.groupEnd();
});

const sdk = new Fathom({ httpClient: httpClient });
`





Debugging

You can setup your SDK to emit debug logs for SDK requests and responses.

You can pass a logger that matches console's interface as an SDK option.

> [!WARNING]
> Beware that debug logging will reveal secrets, like API tokens in headers, in log messages printed to a console or files. It's recommended to use this feature only during local development and not in production.

`typescript
import { Fathom } from "fathom-typescript";

const sdk = new Fathom({ debugLogger: console });
