The Fireflies.ai Realtime API allows your application to receive live transcription events over WebSockets. This enables building interactive features such as live captioning, transcription overlays, and real-time analysis as users speak.
The Realtime API is currently in beta. Features and endpoints may change. We welcome your feedback as we continue to improve this API.

​
How It Works

The Realtime API uses WebSocket connections to deliver transcription data as it’s generated.

​
Flow

  1. Authenticate: Connect using a valid API token and transcript ID.
  2. Listen: Once connected, you’ll start receiving transcription events in real time.
  3. React: Update your UI or process transcription events as they arrive.

​
Features

  • Low Latency: Data is streamed as soon as it’s transcribed.
  • Event-Based: Receive structured events for easy handling.
  • Token-Based Authentication: Secure connections with scoped access.
  • Incremental Transcription: Receive transcript segments progressively.
