Monologue Notes API

This skill provides the information needed to call the Monologue Notes REST API directly. Use it for read-only operations on the authenticated user's notes.

Use whatever HTTP client fits the task: curl, a short script, or another REST-capable tool. Do not invent client libraries unless the user asks for one.

Authentication

Use the environment variable MONOLOGUE_API_KEY as the bearer token.

• Required auth header: Authorization: Bearer $MONOLOGUE_API_KEY
• Required scope: notes:read
• Never print the token, echo it, log it, or include it in a response to the user
• Only pass it through the Authorization header as a shell variable expansion

Check whether the token is available without displaying it:

if [ -z "${MONOLOGUE_API_KEY:-}" ]; then
  echo "MONOLOGUE_API_KEY is not set"
fi

If MONOLOGUE_API_KEY is missing:

• Report that the environment variable is not present
• Ask the user whether they want to provide an API key
• Do not attempt authenticated API calls until a token is available

Avoid commands such as these because they would expose secrets:

echo "$MONOLOGUE_API_KEY"
env | grep MONOLOGUE_API_KEY
set | grep MONOLOGUE_API_KEY

Base URL

• Base URL: https://api.monologue.to
• API shape: read-only Notes API
• Data format: JSON
• Timestamps: ISO 8601 date-time strings

Request Pattern

For all requests:

curl -sS \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MONOLOGUE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.monologue.to/..."

If structured output is useful, pipe the response to jq.

Endpoints

List notes

GET /v1/public-api/notes

Returns a page of notes for the authenticated user.

Supported query parameters:

• limit: integer from 1 to 100, default 20
• cursor: opaque pagination cursor from a previous response
• created_after: ISO 8601 timestamp
• created_before: ISO 8601 timestamp
• updated_after: ISO 8601 timestamp
• q: full-text search across titles, summaries, and transcripts

Example:

curl -sS \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MONOLOGUE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.monologue.to/v1/public-api/notes?limit=20&q=interview"

Example with jq:

curl -sS \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MONOLOGUE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.monologue.to/v1/public-api/notes?limit=20" \
  | jq '{next_cursor, items: [.items[] | {note_id, title, summary, created_at, updated_at}]}'

Expected response fields:

• items: array of note summaries
• next_cursor: cursor for the next page, if any

Each list item may include:

• note_id
• title
• summary
• created_at
• updated_at

Possible errors:

• 400: invalid filter or cursor
• 401: missing or invalid token
• 403: token lacks the required scope
• 422: validation error

Get a single note

GET /v1/public-api/notes/{note_id}

Returns the full details for one note belonging to the authenticated user.

Path parameters:

• note_id: note identifier returned by the list endpoint

Example:

curl -sS \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MONOLOGUE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.monologue.to/v1/public-api/notes/NOTE_ID"

Example with jq:

curl -sS \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MONOLOGUE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.monologue.to/v1/public-api/notes/NOTE_ID" \
  | jq '{note_id, title, summary, transcript, transcript_segments, created_at, updated_at}'

In addition to the list fields, the full note response may include:

• transcript
• transcript_segments

Notes:

• transcript_segments is loosely typed structured JSON and may be null
• 404 means the note was not found for the authenticated user

Possible errors:

• 401: missing or invalid token
• 403: token lacks the required scope
• 404: note not found
• 422: validation error

Common Workflows

Search notes by keyword

Use the q parameter:

curl -sS \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MONOLOGUE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.monologue.to/v1/public-api/notes?q=meeting"

Search covers:

• note titles
• note summaries
• note transcripts

Page through results

1. Call GET /v1/public-api/notes
2. Read next_cursor from the response
3. Pass that cursor back as the cursor query parameter
4. Stop when next_cursor is absent or null

Example:

curl -sS \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MONOLOGUE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.monologue.to/v1/public-api/notes?limit=50&cursor=OPAQUE_CURSOR"

Filter by time

Use ISO 8601 date-time values:

curl -sS \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MONOLOGUE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.monologue.to/v1/public-api/notes?created_after=2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"

Operating Rules

• Treat this API as read-only
• Do not claim write support; this skill only covers listing and reading notes
• Prefer https://api.monologue.to for requests
• When reporting failures, summarise the HTTP status and relevant response body without exposing the token
• If the user asks for a workflow that requires local post-processing, fetch the data first and then transform it separately
