MeetStream Quickstart: Create Your First Bot

View as MarkdownOpen in Claude

This guide helps new MeetStream users create their first bot, join a meeting, and retrieve recordings.

1) Sign up and create an API key

  1. Sign up at app.meetstream.ai.
  2. Open the API tab in the dashboard.
  3. Click Create API Key.
  4. Use this API key in the Authorization header for all API calls.

API Reference (all endpoints): https://docs.meetstream.ai/api-reference

2) Create a bot (join Zoom / Google Meet / Microsoft Teams)

Use the Create Agent endpoint:
https://docs.meetstream.ai/api-reference/api-reference/bot-endpoints/create-agent

What you need to send

  • meeting_link: paste the meeting link (Zoom / Google Meet / Microsoft Teams).
  • video_required: set true if you want video, otherwise false.

Note: Currently MeetStream supports Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams.

Example cURL

$curl -X POST "https://api.meetstream.ai/api/v1/bots/create_agent" \
>  -H "Authorization: Token <YOUR_API_KEY>" \
>  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
>  -d '{
>    "meeting_link": "<YOUR_MEETING_LINK>",
>    "video_required": false
>  }'

Once successful, you’ll receive a response containing details like the bot_id. Save it — you’ll use it to fetch audio/video or remove the bot.

3) Retrieve audio and video after the bot leaves

After the call ends (or the bot leaves), you can fetch recordings:

Get bot audio

https://docs.meetstream.ai/api-reference/api-reference/bot-endpoints/get-bot-audio

Get bot video

https://docs.meetstream.ai/api-reference/api-reference/bot-endpoints/get-bot-video

Depending on your setup, processing may take a short time after the bot exits.

4) Remove/stop the bot

You can remove the bot using:
https://docs.meetstream.ai/api-reference/api-reference/bot-endpoints/remove-bot

Example cURL

$curl -X POST "https://api.meetstream.ai/api/v1/bots/remove_bot" \
>  -H "Authorization: Token <YOUR_API_KEY>" \
>  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
>  -d '{
>    "bot_id": "<BOT_ID>"
>  }'

Troubleshooting tips

  • Double-check you’re using the correct API key and header format:
    • Authorization: Token <YOUR_API_KEY>
  • Ensure the meeting_link is a valid Zoom/GMeet/Teams meeting URL.
  • If video isn’t needed, keep video_required=false to reduce bandwidth and processing time.
