curl -s "https://my.timeless.day/api/v1/spaces/meeting/?include=owned&status=COMPLETED&per_page=50" \
-H "Authorization: Token $TIMELESS_ACCESS_TOKEN"
Response: { count, next, previous, results: [{ uuid, title, start_ts, end_ts, status, primary_conversation_uuid, host_user, conversation_source, created_at }] }
Key fields:
uuid = space UUID (for Get Space)primary_conversation_uuid = conversation UUID (for Get Transcript)To get ALL meetings, make two calls:
include=ownedandinclude=shared, then merge.
GET /api/v1/spaces/room/
Same query parameters as List Meetings (except rooms don't have start_ts, end_ts, or status).
curl -s "https://my.timeless.day/api/v1/spaces/room/?include=owned" \
-H "Authorization: Token $TIMELESS_ACCESS_TOKEN"
Response: { count, next, previous, results: [{ uuid, title, host_user, created_at }] }
Spaces have three access levels. Try in order until one succeeds:
curl -s "https://my.timeless.day/api/v1/spaces/{uuid}/" \
-H "Authorization: Token $TIMELESS_ACCESS_TOKEN"
host_uuidis required for shared spaces. Get it from thehost_user.uuidfield in the List Meetings or List Rooms response.
curl -s "https://my.timeless.day/api/v1/spaces/{uuid}/workspace/?host_uuid={hostUuid}" \
-H "Authorization: Token $TIMELESS_ACCESS_TOKEN"
curl -s "https://my.timeless.day/api/v1/spaces/public/{uuid}/{hostUuid}/" \
-H "Authorization: Token $TIMELESS_ACCESS_TOKEN"
Response includes:
conversations[]: Recordings in this space (each has uuid, name, start_ts, end_ts, status, language)artifacts[]: AI-generated documents. Check type field (e.g., "summary"). Content is in content.body (HTML).contacts[]: Each has nested conversations[]organizations[]: Each has nested conversations[]threads[]: AI chat threads. Use threads[0].uuid to chat with the agent.Collecting all conversations in a room:
Deduplicate conversation UUIDs from conversations[] + contacts[].conversations[] + organizations[].conversations[].
curl -s "https://my.timeless.day/api/v1/conversation/{conversation_uuid}/transcript/" \
-H "Authorization: Token $TIMELESS_ACCESS_TOKEN"
Response:
{
"items": [
{ "text": "...", "start_time": 0.5, "end_time": 3.2, "speaker_id": "speaker_0" }
],
"speakers": [
{ "id": "speaker_0", "name": "Alice Johnson" }
],
"language": "he"
}
How to get conversation_uuid:
primary_conversation_uuid fieldconversations[].uuidFormat as readable text by mapping speaker_id to speaker names:
[00:00:00] Alice Johnson: ...
[00:00:03] Bob Smith: ...
curl -s "https://my.timeless.day/api/v1/conversation/{conversation_uuid}/recording/" \
-H "Authorization: Token $TIMELESS_ACCESS_TOKEN"
Response: { "media_url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/...signed..." }
The URL is time-limited. Fetch it fresh when needed.
Three-step flow:
# Step 1: Get presigned URL
curl -X POST "https://my.timeless.day/api/v1/conversation/storage/presigned-url/" \
-H "Authorization: Token $TIMELESS_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"file_name": "recording.mp3", "file_type": "audio/mpeg"}'
# Step 2: Upload file to the presigned URL
curl -X PUT "PRESIGNED_URL" \
-H "Content-Type: audio/mpeg" \
--upload-file recording.mp3
# Step 3: Trigger processing
curl -X POST "https://my.timeless.day/api/v1/conversation/process/media/" \
-H "Authorization: Token $TIMELESS_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"language": "he", "filename": "Recording Title"}'
Response (step 3): { "event_uuid": "...", "space_uuid": "..." }
Poll GET /api/v1/spaces/{space_uuid}/ until is_processing is false.
Or use the helper script: bash scripts/upload.sh FILE_PATH LANGUAGE [TITLE]
Supported formats: mp3, wav, m4a, mp4, webm, ogg
URLs like https://my.timeless.day/m/ENCODED_ID contain two Base64-encoded short IDs (22 chars each).
Decoding (shell):
ENCODED="the_part_after_/m/"
DECODED=$(echo "$ENCODED" | base64 -d)
SPACE_ID=$(echo "$DECODED" | cut -c1-22)
HOST_ID=$(echo "$DECODED" | cut -c23-44)
Decoding (Python):
import base64
def decode_timeless_url(url):
encoded = url.rstrip('/').split('/m/')[-1]
combined = base64.b64decode(encoded).decode()
return combined[:22], combined[22:] # (space_id, host_id)
After decoding, fetch with Get Space (try private -> workspace -> public).
Ask questions about a meeting or room.
curl -X POST "https://my.timeless.day/api/v1/agent/space/chat/" \

-d '{

"id": "'$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid 2>/dev/null || uuidgen)'"

}'
Get thread_uuid from the space's threads[0].uuid (via Get Space).
curl -s "https://my.timeless.day/api/v1/agent/threads/{thread_uuid}/" \
-H "Authorization: Token $TIMELESS_ACCESS_TOKEN"
Poll every 2-3 seconds until is_running is false. The AI response is the last message with role: "assistant" in the messages array.
curl -X POST "https://my.timeless.day/api/v1/spaces/" \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"has_onboarded": true, "space_type": "ROOM", "title": "My Room"}'
Response: Full space object. Extract uuid for adding resources.
# Add a conversation

# Remove a conversation

Call Add once per conversation you want to attach. Get conversation UUIDs from List Meetings (primary_conversation_uuid) or Get Space (conversations[].uuid).

To build automations that react to new meetings, use cron polling with a state file.
A cron job runs every 5-10 minutes. Each run:
timeless-processed.json). Create it with an empty processed array if missing.GET /api/v1/spaces/meeting/?include=owned&status=COMPLETED&start_date=YYYY-MM-DDuuid is already in processed, skip it.State file format:
{
"processed": ["uuid-1", "uuid-2", "uuid-3"],
"last_check": "2026-03-05T12:00:00Z"
}
Key rules:
processed is never processed again. This prevents duplicate work.include=shared if the automation should cover meetings shared with you.Cron setup (OpenClaw):
openclaw cron add "timeless-poll" --schedule "*/5 * * * *" --task "Check for new completed Timeless meetings. Read timeless-processed.json for state. Poll the API. For new meetings: [your automation here]. If nothing new, reply HEARTBEAT_OK."
Once the polling pattern detects a new completed meeting, you have access to:
artifacts[])conversations[].event.attendees)Combine these with any external tool or API. Some examples of what people build:
The pattern is always the same: poll for new meetings, pull the data, do your thing.
