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 jsonExport 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 jsonOutput Format
Exported notes match Fathom skill format for consistency:

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

Data Sources
The script reads from two local sources:
- Cache file:
~/Library/Application Support/Granola/cache-v*.json(currently v6) -- metadata for all meetings, transcripts for active/recent meetings only. The script auto-detects the latest version. - 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
