Granola Meeting Importer

Query Granola's local data (cache + API) to list meetings, view transcripts, and export to Obsidian vault in the same format as the Fathom skill.

Prerequisites

• Granola desktop app installed and authenticated (macOS)
• No additional dependencies required (uses stdlib only)

Usage

python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py <command> [options]

Commands

Command	Description
list	List all meetings from local cache
show <id>	Show meeting details (by ID prefix or title substring)
transcript <id>	Get transcript (local cache, falls back to API)
export <id>	Export meeting to Obsidian note (Fathom-compatible format)
api-list	List meetings via Granola API (may show more than cache)

Options

Option	Applies to	Description
--format text|json	list, transcript	Output format (default: text)
--local-only	transcript, export	Skip API fallback, use only cached data
--vault <path>	export	Obsidian vault path (default: ~/Brains/brain)
--output <path>	export	Custom output file path
--limit <n>	api-list	Max results (default: 50)
--offset <n>	api-list	Pagination offset

Examples

List meetings

python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py list
python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py list --format json

Export to Obsidian

python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py export bbeba240
python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py export "Подкаст"

Get transcript

python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py transcript bbeba240
python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py transcript "Подкаст" --format json

Output Format

Exported notes match Fathom skill format for consistency:

---
granola_id: <uuid>
title: "Meeting Title"
date: YYYY-MM-DD
participants: ['Name 1', 'Name 2']
duration: HH:MM
source: granola
---

# Meeting Title

## Summary
{AI-generated summary if available}

## Notes
{Markdown notes if available}

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

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

Data Sources

The script reads from two local sources:

1. Cache file: ~/Library/Application Support/Granola/cache-v4.json -- metadata for all meetings, transcripts for active/recent meetings only
2. API token: ~/Library/Application Support/Granola/supabase.json -- WorkOS bearer token for API calls (auto-refreshed when app is open, ~6h expiry)

See references/cache-structure.md for full schema documentation.

Known Limitations

• Transcript content is sparse in cache -- only the most recent/active meeting typically has a full transcript locally. Older ones require API fetch.
• No per-utterance speaker names -- Granola only provides source (microphone vs system audio). The export assigns the meeting creator to microphone utterances and "Other" to system audio.
• Notes/summaries often empty -- Granola stores rich content server-side; the local cache has stubs. The API also returns empty for personal (non-workspace) docs.
• Token expiry -- if the Granola app hasn't been open recently, the token may be expired. Open the app to refresh.

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
